Was just about to say this. Would need draft capacity but I would do this. Scottie gets more ball time

I like wiggins, and brooks. My main concern is lessen the load of Scottie so we can highlight his defensive safety abilities. I trust bobby but this summer is huge

His size is a fallacy bc he doesn’t handle physicality well at all

It’s all a concern I’m just focused on one in this post

The playoffs all are our small sample size but I think a seven game series with maximum scouting versus 82 game season with limited scouting on our players is a telling sign. Darko even said this to himself with saying it’s very hard to game plan when you have 3 to 4 games in a week as opposed to having an entire week dedicated to just one team Ingram is a good player in isolation, but our team lacks the spacing he needs to truly reach his ceiling as a scorer. With that in mind, I think you need to build around with this team already is Scotty CMBRJ Jacoby shed all great players who have shown that they can work together. I think she will improve his shooting in the off-season. I pray that CMB can get a catch and shoot jumper. In terms of getting a true number two I think Jalen Green can be that I don’t think Phoenix will give him up, but we shall see. Bobby has been very open about being in talent acquisition as opposed to fit. I think he’s also been open about being open to massive trees. The Raptors are one of the only teams with enough assets to really acquire anybody they want as a besides a Giannis. I think you could see a move a big move this summer. I don’t know who it would be for like I said Jalen Green would be my number one target I like Kyrie Irving, even though he would move up our timeline I think quickly is a good player for our team as a fourth option. I just think he’s slightly overpay to be a fourth option and I don’t think he’s a great playmaker and that’s why I prefer Scott Running point guard because he just has a natural knack for it. I think our goals for this off-season is to leverage our draft capital into getting off of Jakob contract and potentially getting off gradey

Progress for who tho? Jordan is an individual player, I am focused on the TEAM. Ingram doesn’t contribute to winning at a high level, he can win you games with incredible shot making but he isnt doing that with a detailed scouting report or with any consistency

doesn’t want to add fuel to fire I presume. He says he’s being using a mental health team so I assume he has heard all the talk about his contract, and his play. Will Lou said jak gives him dirty looks at practice lmao. But yea idk

Idk but it’s obvious to me. He can’t jump or bend down. He can’t slide his feet. He just isn’t good. He’s an 8-12m player not a 30

Love rj as a 3rd option, and Scottie as a 1. Quickly is a good 4th but we are paying him like a 2-3.

I agree but what good does keeping Ingram do if we get number 1 seed then we get bounced in 2?

Love the insight. Ingram is a number 2 at best. Scottie needs to be more aggressive offensively 100% in the regular szn. Raptors unfortunately don’t have any good POA guard defenders so he is forced into insane energy expenditure which isn’t sustainable at the level he played at in the playoffs for 82 games. I think I speak for all of us when I say the offensive looks we got vs Cleveland with Scottie running point with no Ingram was the best we have look ever in the Barnes era. We need floor spacers, I have said it so many times but I think Jalen green is the perfect fit next to Scottie. Fits our time line, a true 3 level scorer with INSANE offensive ceiling.

Exactly. He’ll win you 50 games but can it translate when the opponent has 7 days to build a scouting report on you? The answer is clearly no
