They play on national TV every single game.

As for your nation, the Raptors have not been designated by US Sports TV as a Christmas team, so you may never see them. Too bad for you.

I wish we could package fvv and Barnes for Cam Payne.

I get that everyone is excited about their new toy, but lets remember Michael Carter Williams Rookie season and his first 5 games 20ppg 7.6ast 5reb 3stl. Not saying SB will be MCW, but relax until we are at least half way through the season.

I find myself questioning if we are gettting to be as delusional as laker fans when they arent good.

In a couple of years, Barnes will likely top out near 6’10 & a strong 250 lbs. Thats not just small ball Center. That’s a legit Center against 25+ teams.

So you think he will grow 3 inches?

He said what he said. This isn't Suggs we're talking about here.

It feels like OG and Raptors fans think he is what Barnes actually is.

Raps front court is actually shaping up
to be extremely long, athletic, talented and dynamic. Young too. Defensively they can switch on anything.

Barnes(20) / Siakam(27) / OG(24) / Achiuwa(22) / Banton (21) / Boucher (28)

Barnes in particular has been unbelievable, our best player so far this season. He is booming with potential and he’s the best prospect we’ve had in franchise history.

Going to be a force in a couple years.

Franchise history? Really?

OG is the person, always forgotten, when the discussion is about injured players in the 2019 finals.

A very good role player.

When i watch Raptors games, it looks like he’s trying to force himself to be more. And it looks awkward.

Then I watch Barnes, it looks normal and not forced at all.

Yea he looks real stiff when he moves but has put in so much work. Man was like Danny Green with the ball with no three. Now he can dribble and take pull up jumpers.
So basically the best role player in the league then. Who would you say is better?

Honestly ive exhausted the extent of my care about OG.

Barnes is much more interesting imo and I def look forward to seeing how good he can become. So far im very impressed and he seems like the best rookie prospect this year.

The team today won't be the team of two years from now. OG or Siakam will be gone.

im all for trading siakam or fvv. But OG and Barnes will be the core

I wouldn't trade anyone. You have FVV who can run the point effectively and get really hot from 3, even though he is streaky, then you have a wing/PF combo of OG/Barnes/Siakam. Siakam just had to take on too much the year after Kawhi left and Lowry was out a lot. Now that OG is taking on more and the addition of Barnes, Siakam will draw less attention. It wasn't long ago on this board that the vast majority would not trade Siakam for Beal.

Then at C, Achiuwa and Boucher are solid young guys..not great but decent and Barnes or Siakam can play small ball C if needed.

Boucher is 28 lmao. People just think he's young because he sucks.

It's just an age thing, by the time both OG and Barnes are in their prime, FVV and Siakam will be over 30 years old and on the decline most likely.

They are both super cool. Would take them on my team any day.

The only better was Tracy McGrady, but he buggered off. Bosh made no one better. He didn't pass like Barnes.
Carter was candy. He was correct though. Dunking is overrated.
