Long-winded and slightly rambling comment below on my thoughts surrounding this Raptors team, you’ve been warned.

Earlier on in the season, I remember thinking that if this roster didn’t show something promising soon they should probably get blown to kingdom come by the trade deadline.

I’m starting to think that time is actually going to come much sooner than the deadline.

Neutral fans can and probably will see this and say that the time for us to blow it up was a long time ago; and to be honest I don’t really disagree with that assessment.

More succinctly; I just feel like this roster has lost the benefit of the doubt and our FO’s refusal to change their approach with our future is delaying the inevitable at best, and actively hurting it at worst.

We’ve traded away 2 FRP’s in the last two seasons; just to get the corpse of Thad Young, and the return of Jakob Poeltl, who has been… underwhelming so far this season.

This isn’t even the worst I’ve seen this team in recent memory, but we’re however many years into a rebuild and aside from Scottie playing well, the results just aren’t there.

I’m not out on Darko as a coach yet, simply because this roster construction has proven itself to be terrible time and time again and blaming our issues on him would be idiotic.

At any rate, lots of basketball to still play this year but fuck me if it isn’t frustrating to watch this team lately.

Idk, maybe I’m being too negative ¯_(ツ)_/¯

TL;DR: This team kinda stinks and I’d really prefer for them to fix that.
