This means Ujiri wasn't really trying to keep him and I have to wonder why because I see no viable replacement.

I think Masai wanted to get two players signed Ibaka for MLE amount and another player for MLE. Ibaka was like screw that why would i do that when i can go ring chase for the same amount. If Masai changed the offer to increase it to 15 after it was too late. We just have not shown our appreciation to Serge. Not playing him in playoffs, asking him to take less so we can sign more. He basically said screw it.

Just sign Kaleb Wesson or has he signed somewhere else? Maybe the Raptors told him they are waiting on Serge first.

African connection couldn't even keep Ibaka, you guys think Masai will be able to get Giannis. Hahaha hes going to Miami, enjoy trying to convince Gobert next free agency, hell give us a meeting, all players will be signed and hell let us know at the end hes signing elsewhere.

This sucks.....the Raps now have a gaping hole at C that will need to be filled with spare bottom of the barrell parts....Bismack and Giles? Maybe Gasol back on a large 1 year deal.

As for Ibaka.....he needs a legit point guard to be effective on offense. The Clippers have no point guard.

It will be Baynes big deal still aren’t as good

I think i would prefer Harry Giles he has some good upside at only 22 years old and would be a nice player to develop. He's a very good passing big, rebounds and defends well but has to develop a three point shot to ever be a true starter for us.

If the money was comparable I could've understood his decision, but for him to go to the Clippers on the cheap pisses me off. It wouldn't surprise me if he went to the Clips because of Nurse choosing not to start him in the Boston series.

Nurse changed Serge's game and we had a lot to do with serge's success. I think he will struggle in LA

Ujiri needs to make some moves. And by moves I mean acquiring a significant piece rather than a cheap flyer on some other team’s castoff.

If no moves are made then I’m assuming the team is happy to move down a few notches to the mid-lower half of the East and do a mini tank while treading water for next year’s free agents.

We missed out on Diakite too.

I have a feeling resigning Serge was never even a priority, it was always only FVV.

It makes sense..he's got home in LA, got his kitchen show going for him...it makes sense...he can get many players, celebs to appear on the show...thanks for the memories, Ibaka, but I don't know it will improve the clippers, they need a ball handler & playmaker, Ibaka doesn't address the whole...raptors need to get younger, not surprised to him let go...

I wonder if he has any sponsorship opportunities lined up in LA that'll make up the salary difference?

I feel like he’s going to quickly see that he got a massive boost by being a big fish in a small pond. Frankly, his chef show, his clothes schtick, his personality in general, aren’t really entertaining. They got clicks because he was a raptor. Now that he’s in LA, he’s just another talent starved wannabe. Imo anyway.

I really like that take.

Snakes and bull penis are commonplace in LA anyway...
