Blow it up - Raptors 2018 OFFSEASON THREAD

[richtree]

Kyle is probably my favourite raptor ever to keep it real with y’all

I’ve watched so many seemingly lost games where this fat midget just somehow decided we weren’t going out like that. The man is the king of going all out in a blaze of glory. When the Raptors are down 6-7 in a close game you know this guy is gonna come up with a steal or a three or a charge or something, anything.

The last few years with this guy during the regular season just being an overall beast and making this team relevant makes him my favourite ever.






All that considered I think Masai should dump him because I don’t think he’s going to get over us trading Demar. He’s too emotionally attached to dude. He and JV need to be removed from the team. We need to get rid of the Casey Demar era for good if we wanna keep Kawhi, develop our young guns, and attract new FAs

I'm just wondering what kind of return we could get for Lowry?
Gotta start the season and see what he does coming out the gates and then go from there ..

The amount of times I've seen Casey benched Derozan..... and then Lowry and the bench unit just takes over the game has been astounding to me


This February 15th game from 2017 always stands out to me. It was the game before the all star break

Raptors down 17 going into the 4th. Casey has Lowry and 4 bench guys playing.....Raptors go on a 32-10 run in the 4th to win by 5.

"You might get Kemba Walker, for example, from Charlotte, but you would have to take Nicolas Batum and the three years, $56 million left on his contract. Or if Eric Bledsoe of the Bucks became a target, the Raptors would have to take back Matthew Dellavedova (two years, $19 million) and/or Tony Snell (three years, $34 million). Miami’s Goran Dragic (two years, $37 million)? OK, but you also get James Johnson (two years, $30 million). "

If we trade Kyle it’s for Jimmy butler.

Nah it's usually Lowry + bench. Lowry hasn't been benched too often. DeRozan should have gotten benched more.

What sucks is that Lowry is often grouped with DeRozan as playoff failures when it's mostly DeRozan. Lowry has had his struggles but even with his shooting being off, he contributed in different ways.

I forgot to place a comma after Derozan so what I said was misinterpreted. I'm aware.....Lowry has been the driving force of the Raptors success.

Curious to know if Kyle was offered up first for Kawhi

Beautiful example dude. Also if you can remember a couple seasons ago a game against Utah he took over like a muthafukka.

All this credit for Derozan when Kyle has been better than him every fukking year. He’s a product of the team consistently defer to him.

San antonio didnt want him last year, they sure as hell ain't going to want him this year.

pretty sure it was always demar even last year masai tried to move demar for wiggins

lowry market value is slim, teams dont want to pay 30 mill to a 32 year old pg with weight issues.

That game against Utah was incredible.

I remember betting that game. It was a December game right before Christmas if I remember correctly.

The game against Cleveland from February of 2016 was probably his best game too @Broke Wave
