Big fan of Lowry and Ibaka signings. This has been the most successful era of Raptors basketball and I'd rather watch a 50+ win team then the pre-lowry Raptors.

That's basically how I feel about it. The simultaneous 3 year signing means there's a clear time limit on this core and Masai can blow it up without losing anything.

Spurs should trade for Jonas Valanciunas. All it will cost is the low price of taking Demarre Carroll too

On one hand I appreciate other GMs not giving in and actually pulling off trades and signings to try and compete with the warriors.

On the other hand lol the league is so hosed KD is willing to perform bitch move after bitch move to ensure the team he joined stays intact so he can cruise to easy titles.

What happened to Carroll? Odd to see FG % plummet like that in his age 28 year, is it possible it was just a bad fit for him?

Constant injuries. Even when he was cleared to play he was allegedly fighting foot/back problems.

also yeah going from a well coached Jazz/Hawks team to Dwayne "high PnR and throw up a dumb shot" Casey didn't help.

Was Ujiri not their GM when they signed Joseph and Carroll? Signing Spurs players to huge contracts seems like the fundamental example of "not a great GM" move to me

Like a year a go people were saying CoJo was on a great contract for one of the best back up pgs in the league. Now it's an overpay? Cory was an integral part of the Raptors bench that had like one of the best net ratings for the last two years.

This was kind of inevitable though with how Delon has been playing when he got minutes.

Noah put up 1 more win share than Turner in 600 fewer minutes.


People really, really, really underestimate how bad Evan Turner is. I think because he just looks like he should be better at basketball than he is, but gently caress he's remarkably bad at everything. The only thing he can do remotely well is shoot free throws and he barely gets to the line at all.

Yeah but at least he can shoot free throws

I don't think he dragged the Raptors anywhere. He was nice and a good anchor but the teams gonna keep on Raptoring. Who's ready for another year of near unwatchable iso ball, 45-50 wins and a second round exit? Let's go!

'dragging' is a bit of hyperbole, but his rim protection, illegal screens and general self confidence were exactly what the team needed to advance in the playoffs. Biz actually tried to hold people accountable for loving up defensively
