Raptors Discussion: v94 | Raptors land 4th pick in NBA draft lottery. Draft set for July 29

No they wont

Compelling argument. Curious how Drummond, regardless of warts won't make an impact? If he doesn't score a point, his rebounding alone is a major bonus. Also gives you the option of Gasol or Drummond backing Davis when healthy.

Let the sixers choke again come playoff time. I’m glad we didn’t trade him there because he could’ve seriously put them over the top to finally get to the finals

 

[supermann_98]

This isn't how it works. Another team can straight up sign him without sign & trade

Exactly, and when was the last time a sign and trade happened just so the destination team can give him more than they could’ve thru and outright FA signing? ESPECIALLY for a player in his mid-30’s.

Yeah, he’s a tangible ‘winner’ who could have had that kind of impact on a playoff run.
Surprised no one offered good value.
I hope the team can land a big or two with their cap space (not sure what actual ‘max’ is).

Drummond may make an impact in limited usage, but he's not swinging the odds at all.

Whens the last time a buyout player was a significant part of a teams title run?

You can tell he really enjoyed his time as a Raptor and how much it meant to him. Its great to see since just 10 years ago, a player could care less if they were traded from Toronto. Now to see how players actually value their time here and want to be here is another mark of the culture Masai built here.

 

[trellaine201]

Lowry still hurt? I wonder if that’s why he wasn’t traded. Or partially. It sounds a bit serious.

 

[AllDay28]

The Drake effect actually. But people don’t wanna have that conversation

 

[Suntouchable13]

I can't believe they can't even win against OKC who has nobody tonight.

 

[Jozay]

Truly one of the best stealth tanks I can remember.

The fact that this team will win like 48 games next year is the best part.

 

[tmlfan98]

To me there's a significant drop off after 7 in this draft:
1. Cade Cunningham
2. Jalen Green
3. Jalen Suggs
4. Jonathan Kuminga
5. Tre Mann
6. Evan Mobley
7. Moses Moody

IMO Tre Mann is getting slept on big time, and I'm not sold on Mobley at all. Let another team take a secondary star big with no perimeter game whatsoever.

This team needs a #1 option who can create his own shot from anywhere on the floor. The guys in my top 5 are our best bets to get one in this draft if we can move up the board. I'm also not as sold on guys like Ziaire, Bouknight, Springer, Davion, etc as others are.

Checked the score online and thought it was a typo. Was when 119-59 when I checked.

I didn't know Vince was calling games now.

Nothing of value was lost.

Nice one Trent

 

[Habsfan18]

Trent Jr. buzzer beater!

 

[yvrtojfk]

What a shot by Trent. He had a pretty bad shooting night overall but god damn he shot that thang with confidence.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Why does it say in that article "NBA season is all but over"? Idiots over at TMZ or what?

 

[GoonieFace]

What a shot by Trent. He had a pretty bad shooting night overall but god damn he shot that thang with confidence.

yeah way to ruin the draft position. It should have been an offensive foul anyway. Like Trent though.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Trent looking like a damn good return for Norm.
