Raptors fans predicted Scottie to average 6ppg as a rookie, saw him exceed those expectations and then assumed he peaked as a rookie when he didn't become a star in year 2
They now think Gradey is a bust based on an 18-game sample...
y'all r hilarious
My mind keeps coming back to something along these lines:
▫️ TOR: gets Kuminga, Griffin, and Bufkin to add to their young core + a 2024 1st + shooting/GTJ insurance
▫️ ATL: gets Siakam + clears the way for Okungwu to be their starting five moving forward while retaining their
I’m sorry but I haven’t read a single valid reason for why this team is better without Fred VanVleet.
The results show they’re not. Having Jakob and no point guard isn’t working.
It’s clear they were bad without a centre last year and it’s clear they’re bad without a PG now
it's the same 4-5 people that are crying about things that age terribly every single time
these guys wanted to:
- compete and not trade KL in tampa
- trade scottie for KD and then Dame
- be buyers at last year's deadline
and they now want Siakam on a max extension lol

nothing surprises me with TS anymore, these guys banned my account 2 months back, seized all my moments and to this day have not given me an update on anything... lost over $15,000 in the process
this season: *Pascal has an underwhelming night*
"WTF is Darko doing"!!!

This makes no sense to me. You gotta acquire talent and put that talent in the right position to flourish. Not acquire talent for the sake of acquiring talent.
And if you don't get the pieces you want back for Siakam, just extend him.
