What cap situation?

Sullinger , Patterson are free agents

True, but if you're essentially deciding between an improved roster but one that is still going to get bounced by Bron in the playoffs or hoarding your picks and potentially getting a nugget out of them, which one are you picking? Logistically it makes sense to make moves to win now with 2 players in their primes but as the Raps are currently constructed they don't have the firepower to see the Cavs and fully justify trading picks/assets away for pieces. Let's also not forget the cap situation this puts the Raptors in

Zach lowe speaks about this on his podcast all the time. Apparently there's executives around the league that think this way too and he always stresses you can't think like that unless you're really stuck in mediocrity. Anything can happen, he always cites the Blazers/Clippers series last year.......In reality the Clippers are probably a Warriors injury, bad shooting series or a slip up away from going to the Finals. You can't just assume the Warriors/Cavs have the next 3 years locked.

I don't blame the teams who won't accept anything less than a title. The teams who think that way who have no business thinking they way are delusional.

:dead:

The Raptors are so far from your bum ass Knicks it's not even funny, stop getting your feelings involved and realize the Knicks have been in no man's land for years. All your posts are just thin ways of crying about how the Knicks are perceived, and yes, your team should have blown it the fukk up years ago. The Raptors with all their faults are a younger team than the Knicks without any contracts half as bad as Noah.

You are literally the first person I've seen who doesn't feel he will be a really good player
