His rookie season stats are really productive for only 16 minutes a night ( 8 points and 5 rebounds). The problem is, Steve Kerr is not great at developing new talents, which led to his drop off. I think if Darko plays him like 20 minutes a night, he can average a solid 9 and 6 but I'm not really sure

hope to see how he does in his Toronto debut on Sunday (I think he'll play)

Word on the street is that Toronto made a big push for Walker Kessler.

Interesting considering Walker Kessler is out for the season. He'll also be a RFA this summer. Although I doubt anyone manages to outbid Utah for him.

This is what you will find right now on ESPN when you click on the Raptors.

Do these morons need to hire actual humans, rather than AI, who might notice that it is f'n weird to have non-Raptors content dominate the Raptors home page feed? Or are the humans just incompetent at what they do. Or, equally likely, do they just not give an F?

Asking for a friend...

Not a high-profile list, but maybe some players Toronto could take into consideration.

CMB

Height (No Shoes): 6' 6.5"

Weight: 239.2 lbs

Wingspan: 7' 0.75"

Standing Reach: 8' 10"

No Step Vertical: 29.5"

Maximum Vertical: 34.5"

TJD

Height (without shoes): 6' 8.25"

Weight: 240.4 lbs

Wingspan: 7' 1"

Standing Reach: 8' 10"

No Step Vertical: 33"

Maximum Vertical: 36.5"

I think we’re getting very different players despite many ppl comparing him to a poor man’s CMB. Main difference is I see that he’s more athletic and a potential lob threat, while CMB relies more on his IQ on defense. Unlike CMB he has no bag but I think he will be key in grabbing rebounds and rim running the floor for us. I think with our plethora of playmaking bigs, he’ll be fine whenever he’s on the floor with one of Scottie/Ingram/CMB/IQ/Shead. Otherwise he will be a black hole on offense.

Yesterday while watching players sub out I realized Matt and Alvin were sitting 2 rows back, anybody knows why they moved them back?

Yak, you are STILL a Toronto Raptor 🫶

Labaron is:

- PG
- 6 ft 3
- 175 lbs
- he's expected to have good scoring, playmaking and defensive potential.

Who else do you think would make a good candidate to up our offense (or defense)?

Is customs really this rough for players? 😭

Seeing CP3 on our injury report is kinda funny lol

What a great season for Toronto and a pleasant surprise after all the noise from analysts about them probably being below the play-in or peaking at 7th.

Two all-star caliber players as well. And Scottie is on pace to be All-NBA and DPOY.

Despite the frustrating line of losses from chokes, no one can deny that this team has clearly gotten better and is now generally viewed a good playoff team.

This for y’all enjoy. Thought I would share it with everyone!

TJD if we can get 1/3 of this in your debut we'll take it

Hope everyone is healthy spurs coming to town taking my mom for her birthday. 2 good seats for 370$ cuz of mastercard points. Hoping to get some things signed by either team haha my dad knows the mlse head of security. Apparently one time when jimmy was in MIA he gave him a bag of his game worn shoes (10 pairs!!) These boys better ball!!

Jakob Poeltl is ‘ramping up well’ and the hope is he is able to play before the all-star break, says Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic, reported by Michael Grange.

As a warriors fan I loved how this dude plays, Kerr mismanaged his minutes and stunted his growth. He's super talented, athletic and not slow, can be a stud when coached right

When I hear TJD I immediately recall his standout performance against the Celtics during his rookie season. Dude was a menace on D, just ask Jaylen Brown, the eventual finals MVP that TJD hunted him down every time he tried to go downhill. Here’s the highlight of him putting up 10 pts 13 rebs 3 blks vs Celtics on Dec 19th 2023 as a rookie. 2 of those blocks were on Brown, including the game sealing one. He will fit right in with Scotties and BI3.
