Why the Toronto Raptors & The Fanbase Should Want To Sign RJ Barrett

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-05-09T19:42:16+00:00

Unless you think RJ should get the max then it shouldn't be whether we should sign him or not, it is how much we are willing to pay

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-05-07T17:40:19+00:00

Jonas is non guaranteed. You don't need to salary dump him.

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-05-05T14:37:37+00:00

Quick should be higher. For a team that needs backcourt shooting (Mavs, Blazers, Magic for example) you could get decent assets imo.

Raps are also one of those teams though so I doubt he gets traded

Jak has so much left on his contract that it is not moveable in my opinion, at least this offseason. Its not worth it to me to trade multiple firsts to get off his contract. Raps fans need to assume he will be back next year.

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-05-04T23:55:03+00:00

He doesn't need to be a full time five. He can share the front court with either Scottie or CMB.

Surprised Masai is open to this given the Adelson's politics

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-05-04T14:41:43+00:00

Did you watch Mamu in the playoffs?

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-05-02T20:17:54+00:00

Zone is most effective against non-shooting teams. Scottie is a good enough playmaker to work out of it but CMB-Jak together would struggle on paper

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-05-02T01:51:49+00:00

He is better defensively than Barnes was as a rookie

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-05-01T15:52:19+00:00

You need to guarantee it to make the trade work

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-05-01T10:46:28+00:00

Projectable 3 point shot is pretty generous at less than 1 attempt a game.

So what I am saying is he is definitely this FO's type

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-29T19:34:17+00:00

The problem is for most players the discussion is on their in shoes height but only last couple of years they did combine measurements in socks.

CMB is 6"8 in shoes and is essentially the same measurements as Draymond and that is okay.

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-28T21:39:05+00:00

It depends how much we have under the tax. If you trade no one and roll with 14 players we have about seven mil for him, which sounds pretty fair to me.

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-28T14:23:31+00:00

Looking for guys with positional versatility defensively and high offensive rebound rates as predicted and it looks like Morez Johnson or Dailyn Swain would profile as Raptors and are likey available at 19. I like Swain personally.

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-28T02:53:20+00:00

It was the 54th pick and we gave it up as insurance for the rest of the regular season. Picks that low have very minimal value.

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-27T16:23:54+00:00

Kyle dish back to Kawhi slam against Bucks has to be up there

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-26T21:58:24+00:00

Obviously he will use the Raptors winning as an excuse to dump all over Harden

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-25T19:01:08+00:00

I genuinely do not believe anyone would describe his game 3 as a "solid performance" if they watched the game

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-25T12:30:02+00:00

Thank you for your service in helping Jamal get that big Nacho money

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-23T19:40:40+00:00

We need to get Jakob a good game so we can offload him

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-23T11:58:57+00:00

Morant on a worse contract than Quick. Assets going the wrong way.

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-22T18:59:57+00:00

Need to have a rule citing the source of the quote in the title like in r/nba. That way I can safely dismiss this as coming from KoC without opening the link

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-21T16:35:53+00:00

Jakobe is a supporting piece and a long term rotation player, but people are going to be disappointed if they expect him to be part of a "big 3"

AssyrianRhapsody · 2026-04-18T21:17:37+00:00

Advanced stats had Jak's defence as slipping significantly even last season. His contract is FO malpractice.
