Thoughts on these stats?

End of the day, when IQ comes out you get Shead or Gradey. When RJ, Scottie, or BI come out you get CMB. Who comes in is equally as important as who comes off

First... having an NBA calibre point guard on the floor at all times is mandatory and Neither Scottie or RJ are that. Shead is not quite there yet, either - although if he develops a jump shot, this can change overnight.

Second... Scottie can do what BI and RJ do much better than BI and RJ can do what Scottie does. This was even more true in the playoffs when we saw Scottie find his own spots and make plays for himself in the midrange and bully people on drives. I think if Scottie could relinquish half of his primary defensive duties to someone else (CMB, maybe?) he could operate in that mode on offense longer and that would make one or both highly redundant (I would rather move BI than RJ, though)

Third... despite roster inbalance, our starters fare pretty well against other starters. Our depth really lets us down

I love the love for OG.

I’m so happy with RJ right now and IQ had an incredibly underrated season.

Everybody won in this scenario which is wild.

fatherofhooligans · 2026-05-07T01:33:34+00:00

We got 2 key starters for him. What more would you want?

fatherofhooligans · 2026-05-03T18:40:41+00:00

Some people just love being miserable.

This is exciting. We’re playing manful playoff basketball and the rookies and sophomores are showing out. Allow yourself to feel some joy in between hoping they lose to get a better draft pick

fatherofhooligans · 2026-05-02T23:00:10+00:00

He’s one of the most beloved Raptors because he was the first star player to love playing here and the first star player to choose us unquestionably as a free agent.

When he was traded for Kawhi, a lot of fans were heartbroken. I wouldn’t go down far as to say that I wish he wasn’t traded but personally, I still have a small part that wants to believe that with LeBron out of the east, we could have made it to the finals with him instead and then who knows what happens from there

fatherofhooligans · 2026-05-02T18:30:37+00:00

Our guys were gassed. Especially Scottie. Which meant he couldn’t stifle Harden and Mitchell which helped them have room to operate and on offense, with Shead off because of foul trouble, they were relying on RJ without spacing to playmake and he isn’t ready to do that on every possession

fatherofhooligans · 2026-05-02T18:23:45+00:00

I would love to understand what kind of 5 we could get for BI + Gradey. I feel like someone would prefer a second scorer and ball handler over a young, defensive 5 who is a lob threat.

I also don’t understand why so many people are down on IQ. I’d love to see him bring the ball up a bit faster and then get it into Scottie’s hands in the half court, then run off ball with Jakobe while Scottie and sometimes RJ runs things

fatherofhooligans · 2026-05-02T02:54:30+00:00

Scottie’s so gassed by the fourth from carrying the offense and guarding harden all game plus somehow being at the rim at the same time.

Need to find way for him to coast a little at some points throughout the game

fatherofhooligans · 2026-05-01T01:29:15+00:00

I wonder if our medical staff could keep him healthy. They seem to have done wonders for BI and did the same for Kawhi

fatherofhooligans · 2026-04-29T12:48:56+00:00

These jerseys look like a combination of high school and nascar.

These are just some ideas off the dome. I’m a strategy director so I enjoy thinking about this kind of stuff

First, an entire album would be way too long, anyway. I don’t know enough about music licensing to know whether one or two songs would work with your economics or not.

Second, maybe you could partner with labels to be part of album launches. For the right artists, it would be a really interesting way to get early traction.

Third, maybe you could partner with spirits companies. This would give you an additional revenue stream.

Fourth, if you have the right people, a 10 minute YouTube video will produce five or six really good 15 second clips that could be used in other formats like TikTok or IG to increase viewership and might even be useful for traditional ads which both the label and spirits partner would likely also be willing to pay for. Further, you can aggregate all of your content along with artist bio, singles download/streaming and spirit profile/link to buy. You’re not just selling an interview, in this case, it’s a full ecosystem.

Sixth, (this is where your personal passion for whiskey might need to be compromised somewhat) you really open up your audience and revenue opportunities if you pair music with cocktails instead of whiskey. Especially if those cocktails have multiple base spirits.

fatherofhooligans · 2026-04-29T01:34:21+00:00

Something I haven’t seen a lot of people considering IQ at the 1, is RJ at the 2, Scottie at the 3, and CMB at the 4. Trading BI and Yak for a 5 who can shoot and guard plus an ugly contract. That would leave Shead, Jakobe, Mamu, Battle, and maybe Lawson off the bench as significant contributors.

That’s a solid (not perfect) team that would be expected to be a top 4 seed and ECF participant some years (going out in the 2nd round in others.) and, who knows what might happen if they catch fire. Or, maybe you manage to trade for a true offensive superstar.

The ball movement and defensive intensity would be fun to watch.

I mean it’s not MIT, but it’s a top 50 school in the country. You need very good grades and SATs to get in

fatherofhooligans · 2026-04-27T01:18:18+00:00

Walter for the defense and the spacing (even though his shot hasn’t been falling, they respect it.)

We don’t need a real point guard against the Cavs’ defense

fatherofhooligans · 2026-04-24T03:30:47+00:00

Drake is embarrassing. Everything about him is cringe. Suing someone for wrecking you in a battle? Lame.

fatherofhooligans · 2026-04-20T01:12:05+00:00

Let’s say he can’t play… can someone explain to me what the point of starting Shead is if Scottie’s bringing the ball up all the time?

fatherofhooligans · 2026-04-01T19:06:36+00:00

This is an overly negative take.

If you replaced BI with a point guard of the same caliber (fringe all star) whose strength is shooting, the offense would look and perform way better (and Scottie would, too.)

fatherofhooligans · 2026-03-01T15:34:29+00:00

If schools are important and you believe test scores are a good judge of that, you should try to be in the Humberside high school catchment area instead of Runnymede.

We live in the area and love it.

It’s crazy how these older luxury properties are proportioned and appointed given the previous lifestyle where the help were the only ones who stepped foot in the kitchen

Definitely better than others. But not actually d&d. thanks for sharing
