I'm guessing Thad is going to push Banton out of the rotation and we will roll with these big lineups entirely except Fred.
Thad takes 10 minutes from Banton, cuts down 7-10 overall down from the starters and that's our rotation.
Siakam, Barnes and VanVleet will handle the rock.
FVV 36 / Siakam 12
GTJ 36 / Thad 12
OG 36 / Thad 12
Siakam 24 / Boucher 18
Barnes 36 /Achiwua 18
Is my best guess

Masai is all hot air...Since the Gasol trade, it has been a mastercraft of snakeoilsalesmanship. (outside of Barnes pick - which was probably Webster's handiwork)

Re: Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours (Thursday 3pm) - Raps and NBA
I'd give them a B on this deal. We got rid of Dragic and got another bench piece.
Didn't like giving up FRP but we did get back 31-33 pick. If its same talent from 20-35, then this is fine.
They clearly like Young and feel hes going to be productive. Drew is another unknown piece. We shall see on both guys on how they perform as we go on a run here.

Trade deadline edging. One minor release.

Than to prove it can't be done

How do you know Bobby's not the one full of hot air outside of the Barnes pick, which was probably Masai's handiwork?

Re: Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours (Thursday 3pm) - Raps and NBA
Raptors: Raptors B+
Since they acquired Goran Dragic as part of the sign-and-trade that sent franchise icon Kyle Lowry down to the Heat, the Raptors have looked to move the 35-year-old Slovenian. What they got back is a 33-year-old Thaddeus Young who’s about nine months removed from a dark-horse Sixth Man of the Year campaign on the Bulls.
If that’s the player Toronto gets, Young makes a lot of sense there. He’s a smart, unselfish, versatile veteran who can play some backup five and even start against teams when the matchup calls for it or the Raptors feel the need to rest one of their 19 forwards. Ideally, Young’s passing will loosen up an offense that ranks 29th in assist rate, and his knowledge/experience should be embraced by someone like Scottie Barnes.
But Young has also barely played in San Antonio, and voiced frustration with his limited role back in early December. “Right now, this situation is not ideal for me,” he said. “I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve had to settle for four and six minutes a game. … It’s super tough. It’s very tough and frustrating at times. It’s just a matter of trusting in my faith and trusting in my craft, and trusting in the time that I put into the game each and every day. I’m a 15-year veteran, and I’m still one of the last to leave the gym, and I’m still showing up early, putting in a lot of time and a lot of work.”

Guys acting like this is 2K and you can just force through trades.. Its a development year and we are still in the playoff race, how can you be so upset about that.

Re: Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours (Thursday 3pm) - Raps and NBA
Deal is even more head scratching worthy since there was no follow up.
We didn't address either of our two main roster issues despite trading arguably our two biggest realistic trade assets at the deadline.
