Samson makes a really good point with the Quickley deal and summarizes my hesitancy. Part of the successful identity the Raptors had was the bet on yourself/everyone "helping each other to get paid". Their was an expectation of "sweat equity" that went into our players earning their next big contract (Lowry was all about this). Quickley hasnt put in alot of time for the Raptors yet and there might be trepidation about that and our past success
Summer league is going to be so interesting to watch this year. I wonder if Gradey will join them, he should. Lots of interesting times considering the Brown, Boucher, GTJ clean up moves yet to come.
Scottie’s extension is whatever, deserved but that IQ contract has a potential to be a bad signing. giving this money after 38 starts is giant leap of faith bordering on stupidity
The key is there is very little upside.. IQ once he inks the contract goes from being a talented and promising young player to a 35MM star that will get picked apart daily for his play. He is getting paid more than Jalen Brunson and Dejounte Murray and even if he performs like an all-star, he will only be earning his contract instead of exceeding it. Raps tendency to overpay players puts unnecessary pressure on them and needs to stop.
The trash pick up was @alabama in a controversial no call on a goaltending as buzzer went off. It’s a non reviewable play. Coach and player kicked the trash. Jamal as sophomore I believe then and stopped while getting yelled at by fans and picked up the trash. Only got better as leader from there. The offense at Houston is terrible. No movement just a random one on one more often than not. Shead turnt up during big 12 play cuz they needed his playmaking ability.
I'm just very surprised, that someone is just learning that orca or any whale was a land animal. Them being a mammal and swimming like a mammal (moving spine vertically rather horizontally what fish does) and having to breath air, seems very self explanatory. I mean this is grade 4 stuff..
If you think Davion addresses a need that's all the proof I need to stop listening. The Kings dumped him for a reason and that reason is out there for any person to see. The 2nd round draft pick is the primary reason they made this trade not Davion.
IDK. All these moves are exciting for fans, but the end result is a long-term committment to a team that last season wasn’t good enough to make the play-in. I’m not gonna get excited for a late first pick in a historically weak draft until he shows me something at an NBA level. All the other young players are just re-stocking their farm pool, since nothing seems to be working out with the bubble guys they already have.
Eh? I dont see it that bad. For one, the team that didnt make the play-in had very different circumstances. Injury decimation down the stretch, and a completely different roster that didnt fit together early in the year For two, the core 4 blew through teams when they shared the court, from the eye test but the numbers back it up as well. (scottie, barrett, iq, jak). And the first 3 of those only being primed to break out more
They missed the play in cuz Scottie was hurt. They were decent with Jak RJ Scott IQ all playing and each of them missed games for different reasons. They've made some good moves so far, and I don't see anything wrong with restocking the "farm" when the 905 was so bad and devoid of talent last year. I think all their draft picks this draft were pretty good.
Equating the decision of 30+ stars on the backend of their careers versus overpaying a 22-24 year olds for their prime as the cap goes up? Your arguments are so disingenuous. Not serious analysts and terrible content.
this is a real avengers of niche raptors commentators right here
So that's it huh, we some kind of Raptors Republic?
I don't know if Es qualifies as 'niche'.
I want to thank you for taking the time to always tag the time stamps. It is always appreciated.

I understand but we are in a new NBA. Looks at guys who are still on FA market?
Hey Sam just a correction on the Pronunciation of "Mogbo" the "G" is silent :)
thank you! noted

The WCC the last two years was the best mid major conference. Mogbo played well in that tough conference with little experience. He has skills.
Samson spoils us like crazy ❤
I think Chomche will be 2 way and will develop all year 905 so really just 3 on big team but we still have BBQ core needs developing.
Great work y'all
Shout out to Sacramento Kings! Appreciate the trade 💪💯
Thank you for your IQ discussion it may give some clarity to fan base.
Mogbo is a beast. Him and Scottie are going to be 1a and 1b. I completely agree with that take that he’ll be a star.
Love the crazy optimism on all the picks hahaha
IQ got the bag. Pressure on him play to that level.
The Raptors need to get back to becoming at a top three to top five defensive team eventually like in their championship season.
Maasai is playing high level chess with y'all.
Samson called the Mogbo pick.

It's A Great Deal & Is Within Top 15-20 PG Contracts "Allegedly"
In The Upcoming Years, This Deal Will Be Aiight

@@egosofpara6092He makes more than Brunson and Dearon Fox
@@jj47k. They are underpaid

@@capitalgainz9434😂 They dont pay no one would stay in Toronto, Toronto is like a small town compared to American cities
All of our Rooks need shot diet B’ball I Q. I think less pressure to score will improve them and effectiveness.

Great content. Louis needs to retire that top from ever appearing in public again.

Being able to call him IQ is worth a couple mill at least.
louis too respected to get a goofy title. tre's secretary, take this down; need a goofy name for louis next time
This is not a great roster... one centre and half a team of SG's.
