We need Scottie Pippen Jr and Harrison Barnes so Scottie Barnes never has to leave the court

It is obvious Scottie needs to be on the court the entire game so I find these two acquisitions the best we can make this off season.

This is The Draft Where We Complete The Young Core

Yes we only have the 19th pick but there is some legitimate talent that will most likely get picked right before us and we cant let that happen. OKC picks 2 before us at 12 and 17 and they will absolutely get the bpa. We need to try and get one of those picks from them and giving up a future 1st will be the price. I think if we offer up our 27 1st with little to no protection(and maybe a sweetener) we could land 12, its been rumored theyd be willing to deal

Okorie/Johnson/Graves/Cenec/Stirtz all look like they can be legit players, coming away with 2 of them could set us up for years. Next years draft isnt supposed to be anything like this, i feel like the stars are aligning for this to happen, I would like to see our FO under Bobby be more decisive, cmon Bobby, be a man!

How would you feel about scottie if his offence doesn’t improve next season?

in the playoffs scottie looked like the player we’ve all been hoping he’d become and i felt much stronger in my belief that he’s capable of being a great scorer if he just asserts himself more rather than playing passive.

now some of scottie’s playoff performance was definitely an outlier, like i don’t expect him to shoot 38% from 3, but the main things i expect/want to see from him is again asserting himself into the offence, more driving with aggression, an average/slightly below average 3pt shot, better ball handling, and the ball in his hands more in general.

scottie reaching a new level offensively is important in terms of raising the ceiling of this team and giving us more to build off of, it’s not just a matter of 20+ ppg being a nice number. whether he improves or not he’s still a top 15 player in this league, if it really was just a fluke and next season he’s still the same player he won’t be in the hot seat for me but it’ll definitely be disappointing. thoughts?

TORONTO ROTATION 2027

I'm a Brazilian fan and I've created a lineup projection focused on maximizing the team's potential and building a culture. The player swaps are just suggestions to fill gaps I've identified in the team.

  1. Sharpe is a player who can contribute a lot in scoring and athleticism.
  2. Wiggins would be the team's veteran, and his defense would help create an option for Scottie.
  3. Sabonis serves as a player capable of contributing to playmaking and rebounding, which has been a problem.
  4. I imagine Sexton more as a mentor for Shead, as I see them both with similar archetypes.
  5. Risacher is a gamble, and I believe a market like Toronto is all he needs. I don't project him as a star, but as a solid player.
  6. Quaintance is a player to fill the minutes Sabonis is out of and, especially, to play in more physical games, with reduced minutes to address his injuries and avoid demanding the same starting role in his first season.

This is all just for fun. I want to open up discussions, nothing more than that. Thank you.

NBA awards will be handed out over the next week per NBAPR (all-rookie/all-defense/all-nba)

All rookie is tonight, all-defense friday and all-nba on sunday.

I expect cmb to be on one of the two teams, Scottie is a lock for all-defense and all-nba is a coin flip.

If you haven't given the Tempo a shot yet - do yourself a favour! This team is awesome

They play aggressive defence and force a lot of turnovers, like the Raptors. Really fast pace and entertaining games. Brittney Sykes and Marina Mabrey are playing like superstars.

Raptors seeing how easy a path they had to the Conference Finals if they were healthy

You cannot convince me this Cavaliers team beats us if Ingram and Quickley are healthy.

Any playoff series that made you hate a player or team after they beat us. Or made you root for them?

I've never watched Donovan Mitchell so consistently, he seems like a genuinely good guy. Twice I've seen him fall into the crowd and take the time to check on the people he fell on this post season. I was really mad at harden during the series because it seemed like he was trying to pick fights with scottie and rj but I'm over it now. I've always liked mobley and Allen so I'm rooting for the cavs.

Very rarely do I hate on a team after they beat us but I remember how I felt about one of my favorite players in KG after Paul Pierce blocked lowry in game 7 and KG stood over him talking shit while he laid on the floor defeated. I couldn't wait for lebron to send those guys home.
