All things considered(knowing we are tanking), it seems like there is an excessive amount of complaining and critiques coming from Will. We’re 10 games into a tanking season, pods gonna be a rough listen when we are 15-40 at the all star break.

I was watching the highlights and saw the Fanduel broadcast had the Raps logo in the score banner to match the jerseys…

I personally love this combo and think they should use it taken they move on from their current white/red/black colour scheme.

What are your thoughts?

I think its obvious with Cooper and Ace as the top two prospects the raptors need to do everything they can to have the highest % chance to get one but how do they do it?

Main problem is with a fully healthy top 6-7 i dont think the raptors are bad enough and might fall into the disaster range of 10-13 seed

You also dont really want to create a losing culture for the young core of scottie gradey iq and rj. Its a really tough spot to be in.

My general ideas.

1. Have tough converstions starting with scottie and focus on showing him the importance of somehow getting a top 2 pick in this years draft. Scottie would be my #1 priority and him understanding the franchises outlook and goals would be important to me

.

2. Trade Jakob, Brown , Boucher and Kelly. These 4 I think need to go to teams looking to win and see what we can get back for them. And possibly explore RJ and Quickley deals as crazy as that sounds. If you can sell very high on either I wouldnt ignore that conversation.

3. Focus on Gradeys development he has shown me enough at 20 where with Scottie you really need to explore his potential. He could be a franchise changer if his ceiling keeps raising.

4. Second half of the season management and coaching need to utilize resting/ fake injuries and extra time off to recover along with minute allocation to the younger players at all times.

In conclusion, Yes i know the odds arent in ur favour even if you tank ( look at DET) but for me it doesnt matter I would give this franchise the highest possible chance at Cooper or Ace the upside is just way too valueble. This franchise is going no where close to contention with this core but that changes very very fast if we get one of the top two guys.

Would love to hear any feedback and ideas on what you guys think.

2-8, I know it doesn’t look good but anyone watching the games sees how well our rookies and bench play. Players like Ochai, Gradey, Mogbo, Peoltl, and the hustle of shead and Mitchell. Despite not having 2 of our starters this team can play well. I know it’s only been 1 full season but I really think a new coach is the move here. I don’t know who exactly, although rajakovics development of certain players has been amazing and we are in a rebuild I really feel like we just need a coach who is going to help these guys late in the 4th when they seem to lose their cool a bit, obviously we’re only 10 in and a lot of these guys haven’t seen NBA minutes like this. But what are your thoughts

Just had 21pts 7reb, 3assts in tonight's game

He's been a totally different player from when he played in summer league and it's been great to see the development from him can't wait to see his continued progress this year

Whatever workout plan he had in summer league sure is flipping working right now

In your opinion, what are the raptors currently lacking and what do the raptors need to be playoff contenders?

Im curious to see what yall think

Everyone associates the behind the back fadeaway as mcgrady's signature move, but which raptors player was using this move before mcgrady? Mcgrady probably picked it up as a rookie from this guy.

If these are the rights, how much would it be to renew it?

How can I join the waitlist and what’s the wait time. Currently ticketmaster won’t work.

Been wanting this jersey for a while. Sport Chek is running a 25% discount so I placed an order. Does anyone know if the price will usually be lower on Black Friday?

I remember being too young to fully comprehend the complexities of basketball back then. I basically don’t remember anything about Alvin with regard to playing style or impact on the team. Just that he was there to initiate the offense.

It’s weird that I remember a lot more about watching Mo Pete and JYD and them standing out to me more than Alvin.

So was he a good player for that era? Would other teams have rather had him over their own starting PG? Is there a modern day (past 10 years or so) comparison to better put his talents into perspective?

Cheers!

This would be a very interesting landing spot for Bruce Brown and what trade packages would make sense in this scenario?

The "Will my boyfriend like this jersey" thread got me to thinking about a service r/torontoraptors could provide this holiday season... a thread for girlfriends to post vague descriptions of their boyfriends/husbands/partners/etc and we as a community recommend a jersey. Who is their favourite band? Do they have a beard and glasses? And so on.

A service that could brighten the holiday season of many of our comrades here. Think about praying for the Dick and getting stuck with a FVV from the XXL winners rack.

Give it some thought.

The Jalen McDaniels trade net is Davion, Shead, and a Portland 2nd round pick for 2025 draft.

If you are going to feel down with seeing Bruno Fernando getting 10 seconds of playing time, keep an eye on all Portland games. We could get another Mogbo-level player for this 2025 quality draft.
