One more half left in Dwane Casey Raptors Career Appreciation Thread

[Miggs]

For yall that would be a disaster, for the Sixers it'll be the time for whoever they draft to start at PG.


What is the plan, to hand the keys to Wright then?

Disaster is exaggerating...they getting blown out and the fan base is low key turning away....it's slowly declining now anyway....I don't think they're ready to give Delon the keys as a starter I do think he's the backup next year...

 

[Miggs]

Exactly. I agree with you bro. The issue is they can sniff out wins on pure talent during the regular season but without a game plan you can't beat a good team that's seeing you every night and gearing up to stop you if there is no real offensive framework or strategy.

Anyway, what were they saying on TSN Radio?

They were saying probably Casey or Lowry is gonna go....and that the case for not resigning Kyle is getting stronger...he's becoming injury prone and locking in a 31 yr old to a supermax may not be the best idea for the team going forward when he maybe be a year away from not being a good PG anymore....Armstrong made the point he may not be the lead guard you want in the new NBA and mentioned his defense has fallen off cuz he can't keep the younger faster guards in front of him and it causes a lot of problems...

I agree on all of those points. And Derozan simply isn't smart enough or aggressive enough to be a franchise player.

Sounds like it's time to blow it up.

Nah, being locked into an aging PG is a disaster for a market that doesn't get star FAs like that.

What you think of bringing back IBaka?

I'm against re signing him if it's close to max money...

If the Suns get #1 or #2 and draft one of Fultz or Ball, could you see the Raps offering JV for Bledsoe as a stop-gap solution? I remember there were rumors about a DeMar for Bledsoe deal when Masai first got hired, before Bledsoe was dealt to the Suns.

That's what I said

Resigning him at 200 mil is the disaster.

Does that mean you resign Ibaka or roll with Poeltl

You said disaster was exaggerating, my bad

I really have no clue what the Suns are thinking, they seem to view Bledsoe as a core piece. They already have Chandler, Len and Bender so I don't think you'd be able to pull off that trade.

If they get rid of Lowry and Casey and trade JV, then I'd go full rebuild and roll with Poeltl to see what they have with him. I don't think highly of him, but he can't be worse than JV on the defensive end.

I forgot about Len and Bender. I've watched a few Suns games and sometimes you don't even notice they're on the court, their whiteness just dissolves into the hardwood. Chandler's aging. But man, the Raptors have invested a lot of money in guys who aren't fits for a lot of teams. It's going to be incredibly hard for Masai to get rid of Carroll, Joseph and JV

I'd look at JV for Drummond again, if they actually want to do that, maybe try and get Stanley Johnson from them since SVG seems to hate him. You might be able to get Bledsoe if they draft Ball, but the question is for what?

Bledsoe for Carroll straight up would be ideal, but that's a pipe dream. I'm guessing they'd ask for Powell and this year's first. If that's what they're asking for, fukk that.

Yeah, I'd do JV for Drummond too. But I don't think it's gonna happen. Masai shytted on Drummond on national TV and told JV he was way better than Drummond on Open Gym

Coli called this what... 4 years ago?

 

[CrimsonTider]

People in here defending Casey WTF!!!!

@Malta

This team is at the bottom of the league in Team assist every single year.

That is coaching and the biggest thing Kerr did that took GS to the next level was make them pass the ball.

 

[Dirty D]

Dwane has done a lot for this franchise but it's time for him to go. He's taken this team as far as he can. He is a good driller and motivator but the Raptors need a tactician.
