Yeah. I would bet a lot of money on them just retaining Lowry and keeping roughly the same group.

Letting Lowry and Ibaka walk is automatically retooling, even is it's a giant step backwards.

Powell might actually be a Good Player. Delon and Poetl too, maybe, eventually.

They can maybe hang around the lower half of the playoffs starting Joseph and hope that those guys develop into something. It's not ideal, but I can't see why you'd commit to this team for four more years as-is.

It would be the same with Lowry. Maybe a bit closer but they'd still give up as many wide open 3s

My new dream is that they don't fire Casey until Stan Van gets fired and then we get a coach who isn't being blackmailed by Carrolll.

Bad News, that dream is going to turn into a nightmare when the raptors hire the wrong Van Gundy

Raptors are going to need to rebuild to ever compete for the finals anyways.

Barring several bus and plane crashes this team has no championship potential

That is blowing it the gently caress up, not retooling.

Also if they let Lowry, Ibaka, Tucker, and Patterson all walk they'd have about $22 million in cap space. To sign who? Masai isn't going to do that anyway and risk his job.

It is blowing it up I guess, I just meant that I don't think they would be a bottom-3 team if they did that. They would be a middling team with some upside.
