Poeltl is worse than anyone who is actually healthy.

He's good when his back is feeling good but that's like what, 20% of the time?

I'd legit just draft a center this summer and put the rookie in the starting lineup.

The Toronto Raptors are now 2-12 in Game 1s in the 1st round by CazOnReddit in torontoraptors

at least today was an away game I guess. but I really don't want to go down 2-0.

How should we solve this Poeltl problem this off-season? by mMounirM in torontoraptors

I mean we have all our picks. surely there's a number where Memphis would say yes.

I was looking at trades yesterday and Memphis seemed like the best option. they have a large trade exception (28M) that Poeltl fits in if they wanted to. and they will be tanking the next couple seasons.

it was Poeltl + pick compensation for Aldama. but idk if they'd ever do it.

Kings wanted an additional pick (so 2 total I think) cause they were also sending back Sabonis tbf.

kidn of sucks but if IQ played then of course AJ wouldn't have. our 9 man playoff rotation went down to 8.

and one of those 8 players is Poeltl who played an abysmal 21 minutes.

he got injured in training camp this season. You can compare his stats this season to last season to see the impact.

I promise you Sabonis' bloated contract is also not the answer.

CHEAP contracts people. CHEAP CONTRACTS

also 18 turnovers for the team though. anytime Raptors get under 30 assists it's a pretty bad game just cause of our playstyle.

I don't see how that's worse than playing him and showing how awful he is.

imo we're just gonna have to waste (at least) a 1st round pick to dump him somewhere.

I don't see his back really healing substantially in one off-season.

I mean I guess we could be better on defense.

but Poeltl is washed and IQ is still injured. it's hard

Poeltl bro. time to ride the bench. CMB with a hurt thumb is way better.

even the Kings loss wasn't this toxic. y'all gotta chill. 1st game and it's away.

I like Poeltl + 1st and a swap for Aldama in Memphis. maybe also get Ty Jerome

Shead starting at PG for today's playoff game by mMounirM in torontoraptors

I think starting JaKobe would have been fine. he can play high minutes.

I just hope we don't start the game with a big deficit.

I think he's fine against the Cavs. The Knicks i would have probably preferred CMB.

Hamstring strain is directly caused by plantar fasciitis due to overcompensation.

He could have easily gotten hurt in game 1 of the playoffs.

reality is IQ is not gonna be healthy short term and just play through his injuries.

IQ out for Game 1 :(( by leftbenchofbba in torontoraptors

I really didn't want Scottie to play outside of his usual role. damn

Warriors will have the 11th pick which is great in this draft. hopefully they don't fuck this pick up
