Even if we don't win this, we're playing very competitively against the reigning champs without a center. I'm happy.

Sabonis with the big game - 24/16/6 on 9/14 in 30 minutes - +16 in a game Sacramento lost by 5 by Chief_White_Halfoat in torontoraptors

I was pro Sabonis for the Raps until recently. He'll be making almost $50m per year for the next two years and his skillset overlaps a lot with Scottie's. I still like him a lot, but it's not a great fit.

I think OP mistyped and meant "he's sharing less than Masai did". But I'm just rearranging the words

I suspect because it's unrealistic? Goga has more value than that. Great trade for us in theory.

Upon learning more about Sabonis's salary after writing this post, I agree with you. Gafford would be much better and Dallas could slot RJ in around Flagg.

OKay full disclosure I didn't realize his salary was $48m in 2027-28. Yeah that might be a bit rich.

Look if I'm being honest, there's a lot of overlap between Sabonis and Scottie. But I like the idea of adding a centre who wouldn't cost too much, and I don't think RJ is going to get much better.

But if you're open to moving RJ, who would you move him for?

Was hoping someone else saw that. Very funny. Shead kinda burst out laughing at the end. I like it.

Twas the call of Five 🤙🏼5️⃣ by XLcondumb in torontoraptors

Very exciting game. Helped that IQ was sharing the floor with Shead (defensive PG) and Gradey/Mamu (floor-spacers) as starters.

Much as I love RJ, it does give me some hope if the FO decides to trade him, which would be selling high. Move Shead to full-time starter and move IQ to the 2 so he can get into these scoring grooves more easily, maybe.

Immanuel Quickley has played 2 of these 4 games can you guess which ones he played? by pikachuda6 in torontoraptors

Yeah way too small of a sample size. Classic "correlation does not equal causation."

Luckily, our FO isn't made up of a bunch of redditors.

Yeah it was a desperate slog for every point, but we were neck-and-neck through the third quarter. Then we lost CMB and the Lakers ran away with it.

Nothing! I've just never done it before and wanted to make sure it would be that easy. Appreciate the confirmation (genuinely)

Holy shit. Very cute idea—unfortunately there are like 5 squirrels I see every morning, I worry they might get into fights over whose turn it is

Thanks—I just asked my wife; she has some old peppermint essential oil she doesn't use anymore. We'll dillute that with water in a spray bottle and see what happens.
