lol I think people just hate the word tank and assume you want the 1st pick and thats the end of your solution. Might need to create a thread titled "Rebuild the Raptors Asset Base" in the future.


It's true, but RRABWO just isn't as catchy.

Honestly though, I think the same people would say basically the same thing as they already have. Maybe with a few less insults though.

Tatum is top 3 pick, but no worries we're good! We'll trade Siakam for Harden like we did for Kawhi!!! lol

lol James Harden wouldn't save this team. And I have my doubts about Siakam being a secondary scorer, or any type of scorer at all anymore. Need to move him ASAP.

Did Masai really think that it was smart to go into a season with Baynes and Len?

At some point we need to acquire another pick in this draft. It would be a lost opportunity.

Getting a top 3 pick is key, but its such a deep draft and we need talent. Move Lowry or Powell for picks, and we possibly go into the summer with:

2 firsts
a 2nd
and 1 max cap slot.

Harden will purposefully fail the physical to avoid coming to us. Houston is probably heaven to him compared to the Tampa Raptors.

I don't blame people for wanting to tank but there are better ways to lose than what we just saw against Boston.

That was utter humiliation. I'm embarrassed to be a fan of this team right now.
