Pretty happy if this actually stayed this way and we got McGowens. But they haven't really done much with their mock draft yet like most years.

so probably take a look at the next 10-15 names behind the Raptors draft spots. they'll probably pick someone there instead

Or 2 names behind. My point really was that most years that's late first round talent.

how much would you have pay to resign Thad?

[Saul Goodman]

Doubt we see any huge superstar trades unless Mitchell demands a trade. I think the Raptors will Stick to their core 6 guys starters plus Precious and look to re up Boucher or Thad. Who would we want most at the MLE?


To me Malik Monk is a great add at that cost. His lack of defence and size won’t be a huge factor and he can become a version of Lou Williams/Jamal Crawford.


Any other good guards for MLE?

Best Guess?
2/20 with some funny business on the second year like a PG or something like that.

I like Monk;
But if I could break the MLE into lets say Bruce Brown and/or Caleb Martin along with some secondary shooting I would be thrilled.

We’re definitely drafting a 6-9 jumbo wing because that’s what we seem to have an excess of and it will end up being the right pick.

I just sort the draft by 6' 8" or 6' 9" players and go from there.

I thought 6'6" was a big enough SG fwiw. Maybe he grows.

I still believe we need a starting level C. We need to somehow upgrade Birch through trade or signing an FA. There are a couple of decent Cs on the market this summer though some are RFAs. Nurkic will be nice. Scoring guards are one of the easier positions to fill. We may even pick one up with our 2nd rounder ( this draft is more guard heavy).

One.more year of long bois experiment.

Thad Young at 2 year 15 mill deal
Boucher at 2 year 18 mill deal with home town discount
Another 6'9 2nd round selection
Mle spent in some vet shooting depth or maybe take a chance and throw that money at Oladipo

Banton, Flynn and Champagnei improve for bench depth

Let's run it again with an improving scottie and stronger bench to preserve better health for the starters and maybe win more games.

yeah, I would think Thad and Chris return, BPA in the draft and MLE invested in a shooter with ball handling skills.

Then your bench can look solid

Banton/Flynn/Brooks
MLE
BPA/Champagnie/Johnson
Boucher/Thad
Precious/Birch

If you aren't ready to go all in on someone like SGA or Mitchell, the focus needs to be on a much deeper bench with 12 legit people you can throw into the rotation at any time.

[Saul Goodman]

If we arent able to go all in on a big fish we should just run it back and bolster the bench with some firepower. Resign Thad to a 5 mill per deal and Boucher to around what hes making now. Sign Malik Monk to a 4 year full MLE. then....

Wonder who Toronto is looking at with the second? Caleb Love a guy who had a very good March Madness and can be a good scorer off the bench who isn't scared to take a three. Has good range and size as well at tree point 6'4" with a 6'10" wingspan.

Do they go after one of the bigs like Kamgate or Koloko? Or a PF like Tshiebwe who gives you rebounding or Julian Champagnie who I think could be a good bench guy gives you size at the SF or a good PF who can hit a couple threes, disrupt the passing lanes and be a good energy guy.

Id say were going to pick a guy who we have never heard of lol

[Kingsway_fan]

Playoff performances will be a good test for Masai and Bobby, esp around decisions for fred, Gary, boucher, Thad, regarding extentions... signings, trades....

[DangerZone13]

This is just my personal feeling, but I get a sense that this will be one of those drafts where from mid 1st to early 2nd is a murky sea of talent, so it might not take as much as some years to move around and get someone not ranked around your pick. Maybe Flynn+31 for one of the Grizzlies picks (22, 29) if there's someone we want to secure.

Depending how the lotto shakes out, GTJ could be of interest to a team in need of a sure thing and he's still younger than Duarte last draft I believe. Not saying it should happen but there's options if the brass decides they want to.

I am not sold with Pascal being our starting C. I do feel like it is time to test the market on OG and see what he can net us. I am open to OG for a starting C like Myles Turner plus assets. Then you run with FVV, Trent, Barnes, Pascal, and Turner for 2 seasons or so and see where it takes us.

OG is a WAY better/more valuable player than Turner, and we've used him on bigs like Jokic. (That maybe a reason OG's always getting hurt.)

Anyway, the always-great Bobby Marks does a deep dive on the OKC and Magic cap situations today on the ESPN website. Well worth reading if you're interested in the availability of guys like SGA, Dort and Mo Bamba. To stay under the cap, Magic can only offer Bamba (a UFA) slightly over the MLE amount. Magic would also have to renounce Gary Harris to do that. Statistically (and according to common sense), Carter and Bamba are not a good fit. If JI actually recovers, then Bamba would come off the bench. Maybe he'd come here for the MLE. Or ... Harris.

Dipo is a guy I almost forgot existed;
He has looked fine in 20MPG in the seven games he has played off the bench.

I think as a bench piece he is someone who can toss up a few monster games a season and be passable the rest of the time so from my perspective I wouldn't mind.

The issue may be he somewhat owes Miami for essentially paying him to rehab this year and may already have a wink wink in place to re-sign this summer.
