My guess is Ujiri knows he's sort of on his last legs and is shooting the moon.

I think I am leaning towards utterly insane.
Ujiri's Hail Mary sort of like Beaston and Anthopoulos.Nik the Trik said:My guess is Ujiri knows he's sort of on his last legs and is shooting the moon.

Likewise, especially with a 1st and Poetl also included in the deal...

L K said:I am wary here for a few reasons. There was a report that came out that Masai Promised DeRozan that he wouldn?t trade him. if that?s the case that?s a poor way to handle the one superstar who?s actually re-signed with the team more than once. Toronto can?t attract anybody and having Kawhia for one year isn?t going to fix that.
I don?t love the idea of acquiring the team around him and I have concerns about how things played out in SAN Antonio.
That being said the raptors weren?t going to win with this Team as is. I don?t honestly think we are that much better with this move that it makes us a contender.
Didn't the Raps win 59 last year? Can't see them winning 67 this season.Coco-puffs said:This move makes us WAY better. Like, 8 expected wins on the season better (from 53 to 61). Nobody is touching the Warriors, but we aren't far off from the rest of the leagues "contenders".

I think how this looks now might be very different from how it looks if the Raptors flip Kawhi at some point.
But honestly, what's the other option? Bring everyone back to try and win an Eastern Conference where it already looks like they've been surpassed by the Celtics and the Sixers, the grand prize being a surefire sweeping in the finals?

And just saw deal is done.....time will tell
Thx for the info...from a pure loyalty side, this trade is bad. DD was told he wouldn't be traded and now he is. Looks bad and even worse by firing the coach of the year. Something had to give tho.Coco-puffs said:Guilt Trip said:Didn't the Raps win 59 last year? Can't see them winning 67 this season.Coco-puffs said:This move makes us WAY better.

Expected wins is different than win last season.

Edit:
Btw, by his model, the Raps are a close second to the Warriors. Expected ORtg: 2nd. Expected DRtg: 2nd. Boston and Philly are projected at 55 wins.
