Primer replied to a thread Blowing it Up in Everything Raptors

I just really don't think Fields has NBA starter talent. His stats are terrible on basketball reference and watching him all season backs that up in...

If our new GM can come in and do something creative that sends out DD and brings in a comparable SG who complements Gay better, I'm all for it. I'd...

Seems like our main sticking point is over Fields, and what he will contribute. You think he's going to get back to his rookie year form, or close to...

Nice counters, this is the kind of discussion I'm looking for. I'll address your points one by one. 1.) I'd put a lot more faith in DD getting his...

You know Wiggins is playing a year of college ball first right? So, in 3 years he will be only 2 years into his rookie deal.

Top 5 pick. Weird how people call draft picks assets, yet forget that Kyle Lowry is a great asset. Expiring and on a high value deal. I'm thinking...

Ross plays behind DD and Gay, arguably our best 2 players. He was brought in for bench depth with an eye to being a future starter. That's why his...
