Gasol, Baynes, Giles, Biz, Dedmon, Gibson.

Hopefully two of the above will be in Raptors uniforms for next season.

Biz with no fans is super scrubby. I want him if he plays home games with fans only
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Has he learned how to catch a ball without fumbling it first?

Has he developed a reliable 3 pointer?


Small sample size Biz was all over the glass and yamming hand offs when we played Charlotte near the end of the year. I assume he's still just a more handsome Boucher tho.

Gasol or no Gasol, I think we’re bringing back Boucher and Brissett without a doubt. He’ll get consistent rotation minutes this year, which is absolutely necessary.

Assuming no Gasol, I think we could realistically see Biz back. Many have mentioned Giles, which would be cool. I could see Baynes as well. Shouldn’t have any issue getting two of those guys with the MLE and a vet min SF.

In the right environment/system he does quite well. He fed off our team and provided lots of energy back in 2016. I think he is a decent reclamation project on the cheap.

Low risk/cost, possible medium-high reward. Still only 29.

At this point, I'm confident raps can plug anybody in and get it to work.

ya sure the guy had a bad sprain and was basically out for the whole year.

Even if he improves, he's 2-3 yrs from being in rotation

Yes...it's another rookie season I guess...but in the limited minutes he saw in the bubble...I liked the mobility I saw from him. I liked the willingness to bang inside. I liked the confidence shooting the 3. He may well see a few minutes with the big club this season.

I'm sure we can get Biz for the vet min which still gives us MLE flexibility to get another big and a wing.

Biz is hot man. He's jacked and has a great smile. That's enough for me.

In fairness...I'd be okay with both as stop gaps :P

As poor as Gasol has been offensively, he still can be useful and a net positive.

I am also convincing myself that losing Ibaka is okay, because he is approaching the part of his career where his future with us would have been murky, had it continued into this upcoming season anyways.

doubtful, hes just not ready. Raps will roll with Boucher and a FA signing or two at centre

We just lost 15 points and 8 rebounds a game off the bench. The bench depth is going to be horrid.

Kyle, Fred and Pascal are going to be playing HUGE minutes this season. The only guys off the bench capable of making a shot are Norm and Matt.

This season going to be rough.

Getting Biz would be so funny. Who else could we bring back from that team? Scola, Bebe? Trade Norm for Terrence Ross?
