Good for him. Hard to say he didn't earn it.

Still kind of crazy to think that the Raps still have a pretty good young group in place with VanVleet, Siakam, Powell and Anunoby. Even if Ibaka, Lowry and Gasol are done, and I don't think they are, that's a starting point for a decent team in the East that could have a lot of cap space.
I wish to hell I'd never said "Winning isn't everything it's the only thing". What I believe is, if you go out on a football field, or any endeavour in life, and you leave every fibre of what you have on the field, then you've won.

Thats true until we get them to the Greek.

Unfortuatley, Ibaka is going to the Clippers.

Yeah, that's unfortunate. Still, good young core and all that.

Ibaka gone is disappointing from a fan's perspective for sure, but at least it should mean more time for my boy Boucher. This is what a Gasol/Ibaka-less Raptors looked like against eventual champion Lakers last year:

Yeah I mean maybe it's time to give younger players a look? No idea though, I don't really know aging curves in the NBA

Good preseason game on Saturday, the starting rotation got shitkicked for a good amount of time in the first half but our backups looked very good.  Flynn looks like a draft steal, he is a player.  Also Thomas looked great, rounding into a full player, not just a shooter.  Should be a fun team to watch this year.

250 Million, never got the Greek. Now we can work on getting Leonard back.  ;)

A big part of it is James Harden being a tool but the NBA already had to postpone a game for COVID ineligibility
