That’s the main issue with the raptors, we didn’t fix our main issues with lack of Shooters not to mention the biggest issue # Picking a direction. I’ve watched the raptors since 2005 saw the years where we were a very good team but disappear come playoff team and rebuild . This season or the last 3 years the raptors have tried to build off that overachieving year where we made the playoffs vs the sixers in 2021 and lost. The gm didn’t fix the raptors biggest needs and instead ran it back the year before and guess what we lost fred( even though we could’ve unloaded him to the clips for something) and traded a top 6 protected pick for potel who although fixes our centre position we can’t play him Barnes and pascal together always because all 3 are liability shooters that can’t space the floor( Barnes been decent this season and shooting 38% from 3 and has made 35s out of 92 attempts). The raptors rn we are in no mans land just like the 2010 -11 to 2012-13 bucks where they had Jennings Ellis and we’re barely in or out of the playoffs. For us we are barely out of the play in but is this roster a playoff caliber team? No this team needs to rebuild, we aren’t going to get a kwahi lvl saviour and fix our shooting woes or lack of bench. I love Chris and porter and it’s insulting to see precious and mcdaniels play more minutes than both of them .

Also your post is trying to be positive but don’t try to hide the issues this team has and how we need to pick a path than rather “ omg let’s fall into the nostalgia days of winning a chip and remind our selves we were worse beforehand “.
