With Kawhi Leonard gone where do the Raptors go from here? - Sportsnet.ca

Raptors DaveZarum If you have a smart front office that does not mortgage the future (which Raps have), and ownership that is willing to spend (which Raps have) you are never a long long way from the NBA. We just witnessed what 1 star + a solid supporting cast can do.

Raptors DaveZarum UNLESS THEY CAN GET STEPH & SETH... EMPLODE THIS THING! ThanksKawhi had more belief in aging Paul George than this group, so time to move on right... ISN'T THAT WHAT KawhiLeonard was saying by leaving! YUPP! Raptors GET Steph &/Or Seth or Rebuild!

Raptors DaveZarum Stay the course, amazing team core and all they need is one or two more legit pieces. There is a Greek Freak who will be a free agent next year 😉

Raptors DaveZarum Vince carter watch starts now

Raptors DaveZarum We go back to remembering American players can't leave mommy americas boob Struggling to get players ,struggling to make the play offs I see management moving on and a team blow up

Raptors DaveZarum IMO if the Raptors want to keep their run going even without Leonard then Masai will need to make at least a cpl impactful moves, otherwise he should just blow it up! WeTheNorth

Raptors DaveZarum Who cares

Raptors DaveZarum Do nothing and crying every day

Raptors DaveZarum Our team doesn’t begin and end w Kawhi as long as Masai is here, we’ll be fine.

Raptors DaveZarum LA (Clippers/Lakers) will have a hold on the Larry OB trophy for the next 2 years, therefore, it's a great time to rebuild.

Raptors DaveZarum Find the next Kawhi Leonard?🤷🏻‍♂️ Toronto Raptors KawhiUpdate NBA

Raptors DaveZarum straight to the basement, from hero to zero : (

Raptors DaveZarum Same place we always go - to work

Raptors DaveZarum Go back to being mediocre like MiamiHEAT

FAN590 DaveZarum They should trade away some of there assets for youth and picks. Doesnt make sense to give up the near future for just this season. It will be a faster turn around if they do the rebuild right now.

DaveZarum Ouch. A big kick in the nuts for sure. Not all about Kawhi really. Yes it is. He is gone. So are our hopes and thoughts. What a bummer this is now.

DaveZarum 5 years minimum and all the stars have to line up

DaveZarum The structure of the NBA is the problem. There is no competitive balance and never will be. Especially given its ridiculous cap structure. NBA NBAPR

DaveZarum Ujiri will pull something out of no where. Legit, he’s a fucking magician.. I don’t follow basketball or raps, but I know for damn sure he ain’t done. He’s damn good, i know that.

DaveZarum Ya 20 plus more years

DaveZarum Sad but be lucky if they make playoffs next year. No big FA’s to sign and the current roster can not pull off a repeat. Back to square one.

DaveZarum Make a trade for RJ Barrett

DaveZarum Blow it stop delaying the inevitable

DaveZarum So are the Raptors gonna offer sheet Mitch Marner now? Leafs get the Raptors 4 first rounders!

DaveZarum Let’s get Russ Westbrook

DaveZarum Honestly guys it's not that bad. Nobody can ever take away the fact that the Toronto Raptors are the 2019 NBA Champs! Some players play their entire career without being able to say they won one...so remember 'In Masai we Trust!' *Black Panther Voice* Raptors Forever!

DaveZarum Don’t Kawhi Raptors... RJ Barrett will be coming home soon. Sorry NY Knicks, prepare yourselves... like they say, they eventually come home!

DaveZarum KAWHI do i feel depressed

DaveZarum Has a NBA champion ever gone on to miss the playoffs the next year ? I know it happens in hockey but wonder about basketball

DaveZarum But we should be happy right?

DaveZarum Team is still a playoff team

DaveZarum Get Russell Westbrook.

FAN590 DaveZarum Masai needs to reacquire Vince Carter and demar derozan....ha ha ha..thanks Khawi...

DaveZarum Hell the fuck no. Let Nurse build the offense properly already Gasol

DaveZarum Run it back for now but find some value on those expiring contracts in terms of draft picks at the trade deadline

michaelgrange DaveZarum Good question

DaveZarum Yes if you can find a taker for Lowry contract

DaveZarum They should go and try acquire Andrew Wiggins! And build around him! Bring him home!

DaveZarum Raps had an amazing record when KL sat. They have a great young core plus Siakum will get even better. They have tons of money to spend. I still see them top 4 in the East.

michaelgrange DaveZarum keep the momentum going and Take the WeTheNorth mantra to the next level by targeting Canadian players If the trend is to play at home I am optimistic about our outlook!

DaveZarum You actually think we have a shot a Free Agents? 🤣🤣Thats hilarious. We wont even be able to re-sign Pascal in Toronto. Back to being irrelevant in the NBA for another 24 years

FAN590 DaveZarum In my opinion trade Lowry, Gasol and Ibaka and get some draft picks and go from there

FAN590 DaveZarum If they bring in moon from the flint tropics I think the team will be just fine

DaveZarum The raptors played just as good with him as they did without him.. raptors had a winning record without him in the lineup.. The Toronto Raptors will do just fine. Go raptors go 😃

DaveZarum Not to worry!

DaveZarum Get the Greek guy!!😌

DaveZarum They don’t match up the team they are.

DaveZarum I trust Masai either way

michaelgrange DaveZarum No hard feelings - we have a Championship. I think we need to do what MU is doing and fish even more in Intl waters where there is a lot of talent that doesnt come with the biases of American players. Also Greek Freak available soon. Have faith in MU!!!

michaelgrange DaveZarum No. We can continue with Siakam on the rise

michaelgrange DaveZarum We still have a playoff team home to a few vets and several young up and comers and the MIP! Let the team take its course. Adjust as need be in the future. And let’s stop talking or speculating as if the DEFENDING CHAMPS have already blown the 2020 season. WeTheNorth

michaelgrange DaveZarum Don’t you just love bandwagon jumpers? “In Masai we trust” 17-5 without Kawhi.

michaelgrange DaveZarum Lowry to Philly. Stockpile draft picks

FAN590 DaveZarum Sign Joey jaws chestnut worlds greatest athlete

DaveZarum I wouldn't consider winning one championship actually ruling the nba. 3 or 4 maybe.

DaveZarum they are still a top 4 team in the east this year and maybe masai can work something to improve our chanes over the next few months..withcontracts up in the near future it jus gives masai more flexibility to build a new team InMasaiWeTrust

DaveZarum Should the NBA champs blow up their roster. Lol. We took Kawhi and Danny off the books and added Matt Thomas. We good

michaelgrange DaveZarum You just start again that's all. We're not a championship side anymore but we are still a playoff side. Start from the bottom

michaelgrange DaveZarum They need to ship Lowry out ASAP his value will never be as high as it is now

DaveZarum Maybe send drake to the clippers.

DaveZarum Wiggins LOL

DaveZarum Just fold or move the team

DaveZarum Nobody wanna go to Toronto.. carter mccgrady learnard all left

AnneBrazeau1 DaveZarum From now on we are in reconstruction mode that’s it that’s all 😐🤷‍♂️we start at the bottom once again

DaveZarum Rebuild

DaveZarum

FAN590 DaveZarum NO !!!! I believe in Masai .....

DaveZarum The raptors will finish in last place this year

FAN590 DaveZarum Leafs Nation

FAN590 DaveZarum But next year free agents is not that good. Have to wait for 2021

DaveZarum Blow it up

DaveZarum According to ESPN, Kwahi was willing to stay if the Raptors had gotten Paul George (apparently he would've agreed to come to Toronto as well), but OKC wanted Siakim in return. Wouldn't it have been worth it to make that trade to win more titles now? I think so..

DaveZarum No need to blow it up. Ride out this year. Several expiring contracts coming up and can be traded.

DaveZarum Giannis2021

DaveZarum MI built this team for this. All expiring contracts. All currency. Move them for picks this season and blrebuild your base next year.

DaveZarum Need to keep the cap sheet as clean as possible going forward..

DaveZarum Believe in Masai. There is nobody better. Raps will be fine.

DaveZarum Blow it up,keep Kyle Lowry let him retire a Raptor
