The healthy and well rested Raptors just lost to the worst team in the league (Blazers) on a b2b, without Simons — why won’t Masai/MLSE decide to blow it up and give the keys to Barnes?

Barnes is fine, he’s developed a reliable scoring prowess while being able to defend 1-5, but everyone else is playing subpar. Why do they keep trying?

    why would anyone trust masai at this point to lead the rebuild? it’s pretty clear his vision for the team (prioritizing length at the expense of spacing/shooting) isn’t working.

    he’s had an inordinate amount of chances over the last 2 years to make moves to balance his team. but he lost FVV for nothing and might lose Siakam and/or OG for the same. even if he moves them this year, they’re worth much less than they were when he first could’ve gone to the market.

    It’s one of the clunkiest rosters. Siakam has not been great to start either.

    My personal head-cannon is that our ownership is desperate for any chance at postseason ticket revenues and won’t let Masai pull the plug and re-build properly.

    Not much evidence to support this thought process, beyond the fact that Ed Rogers is a cunt.

    It’s even funnier because Toronto has the incentive to tank this season. If they finish outside the top 6 in the lottery we get their pick.
