We should've given Noel that deal whether Serge was coming back or not smh

Noel needs new representation. Klutch has screwed him out of a lot of money in his career. He's signing a 1yr deal for $5mil. That's not even Plumlee money...

EDIT: He fired his old agent after rejecting $70mil/4yrs. I thought he already had Klutch representing him.

He's pretty much out of options on free agent bigs if Giles signs somewhere else.

On 680 news, I heard Masai and Bobby flying to Chicago to meet Ibaka.

We are sitting at about $23 mil under luxury tax atm -once we sign Flynn, it will be $21 mil. So if we want to bring back Ibaka, we had no room for Noel/TT/etc.

However, we can sign Serge for a Dragic deal (2@18.5, second year team option), and then have enough room to bring in Biz at around league min.

I might be off by a couple of mil.

If 680 news is breaking transactions then God help us all loll.

I've been refreshing to find out the ibaka news too. Hopefully we find out soon if hes coming back or its a sign and trade.

I hope we can use the full MLE by dumping mccaw and Stanley. Those 2 have no use on a good team.

Ugh. We couldn't get in this for 1 year 5 million? Not many bigs left out there if Ibaka bolts.

We're left looking at:

Baynes
Cauly-Stein
Diallo
Giles
Juancho
Biz
Cousins
Whiteside
Saric
Thompson

We can probably ship Stanley+2nd to OKC and get some breathing room that way. I think the team still likes Mccaw though - although it'd be great to dump him and give that PT to Thomas and Davis if he's back.

Ibakas delaying his decision to sign will affect our back up plan as FA dries up. Reminds me of Lakers waiting on kawhi.

biz ? What year is this ? Bismack ? Brick hands ?

C_Money · Post #1352 » by **C_Money** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 2:21 am

There is some type of f*ckery going on. Just like last year with Kawhi

RaptorsNorth · Post #1353 » by **RaptorsNorth** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 2:22 am

Biz, Gasol, wtf ? I rather just play Hernandez. These guys are finished!!!

raptorstime · Post #1354 » by **raptorstime** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 2:23 am

Honestly don't really care for Tristan. I want Ibaka and Noel and then a cheap wing and that should be enough for the offseason.

raptorstime · Post #1355 » by **raptorstime** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 2:24 am

Just read that Noel went to the Knicks, ffs man we are playing in FL so 1 year deals are much more valuable for the free agents..

artsncrafts · Post #1356 » by **artsncrafts** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 2:24 am

What is Masai doing? Noel for $5M 1 year is perfect.

RaptorsNorth · Post #1357 » by **RaptorsNorth** » Sun Nov 22, 2020 2:27 am

This is why Demar is under appreciated around here for many reasons. He didn’t mess around during free agency. Serge is about to post a new picture on Instagram with a pen in his hand :lol:
