Ex-Raptors Discussion

Jonas Valanciunas (Last Year rank 76) (Projection 40) -9cat roto
The Grizzlies have good younger bigs in Jaren Jackson Jr. & rookie Brandon Clarke.
** Do you believe in Valanciunas to finally hold down starters minutes for the first time in his career? (Okay 2nd time if we include his sophomore season)

Delon Wright (Last year rank 142) (Projection 80)
2 his 3 triple-doubles came against the Mavs last year.
The Mavs don’t really have a lot of competition at guard. Luka has to start beside someone. They got Jalen Brunson, Seth Curry & JJ Barea.
** Do you have confidence in Delon to be a legit playmaker, league-average shooter, and a plus switchable defender?

Danny Green (Last year Rank 83) (Projection 110)
Danny Green shot a career-best 45.5% from 3 last year. However, the previous 4 years he shot under 40%.
** Will we see good Danny or the Danny we saw in the playoffs this year show up for the Lakers?

Kawhi Leonard (Last year rank 7) (Projection 6)
Kawhi only played 60 regular season games for the Raptors due to load management.
** Will the Clippers have the luxury of doing the same?


Truth or Slander
Cam Payne will have more pre-game dances than points. Truth or Slander?
Terence Davis will play more minutes than Dewan Hernandez. Truth or Slander?
Stanley Johnson is real competition for OG Anunoby. Truth or Slander?
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will exclusively play PF. Truth or Slander?
The Raptors 3rd leading scorer will be Fred VanVleet Sr. Truth or Slander?
Chris Boucher’s only path to playing time is if Gasol or Ibaka get injured or get traded.
The Raptors will fail to extend Siakam by October and he will enter restricted free agency next summer. T or S?
The Toronto Raptors will sweep the Boston Celtics in the regular season. T or S?


Scenarios

You are Masai

1) You have the opportunity to trade Kyle Lowry, Serge Ibaka, & Marc Gasol at the deadline or keep everyone and win 1 playoff series this year. Which path do you take?

2) The Raptors can trade either Marc Gasol or Serge Ibaka, but not both. Who are you trading and why?
