80% of the names changing teams are washed up players. Even Lowry is close to becoming washed at 36 years old.

Or maybe everyone is on vegan diets

Vegan ain't bad, they got vegan everything these days (Pizza, Burgers, you name it)

That would be just a useless stopgap

That's when you really know this board has completely lost the plot.

Andre Drummond was losing minutes to 36 year old Marc Gasol in the playoffs. When a player is getting traded for a 2nd rounder and then bought out 9 months by the worst teams in the league that usually suggests that the player isn't very good.

Do people not realize the offseason isn't over? We can still make trades too

Lol wow Monk went to LA for the Minimum. Lakers still have the 5.9mill MLE to use.

What a joke this league has become

Things could still do a 180 if teams spend their money now...and we're sitting there. Last call sort of thing.

Nobody's waiting on the biggest fish in the room.

What’s the point in getting a guy like RoLo if we’re likely to tank this year? Like does he move the needle for contention for us? It’s a waste. I’d rather develop young guys

Ok so just suck lol. I agree that seems like our only choice given our current position.

I was just hoping to be better positioned to solve our biggest weakness by far from last year. Instead, it's going to be another year of the same issues.

Yeah well id rather suck and get another top pick than fight for a spot in the play in to just get swept by the Nets

Drummond would actually help secure a lottery pick for us and it'd come at the expense of playing our younger guys. It's just an awful idea all around. These are desperation moves that are only reserved for awful franchises.

We're gonna have anyone from Achiuwa, Barnes, OG, to Siakam all taking turns playing the 5 during games this year. That's one of the benefits of going for an all 6 foot 7+ lineup.

Toronto's 2001 season ended in the Eastern Conference First Round with a defeat to the Detroit Pistons in five hard-fought games.[6] Following the season, Chris Childs re-signed as a free agent with his former team, the New Jersey Nets, Keon Clark signed with the Sacramento Kings, Tracy Murray was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, and Olajuwon and three-point specialist Dell Curry both retired. During the offseason, the Raptors acquired Lindsey Hunter on draft night. Lamond Murray was also acquired from the Cleveland Cavaliers, but missed the entire season with a foot injury.

Sure if we want to create competition for GTJ as the biggest hypebeast in the locker room

A 23 yr old is going ring chasing in LA for the Minimum

NBA has a legitimate issue on their hands
