"Tank Job of the Year" to recognize the impressive work Toronto did this season.
Future is bright. Lots of cap space. Decent draft capital the next couple years. Solid young core.
My bold prediction is the Raptors will be a top 6 team in the Eastern Conference next year.
reply
Which of Klay, KAT, or Wiggins are they going to spend that cap money on?
reply
None of the above. KAT is not a FA is he?
reply
No, but the T-Wolves can't afford to keep him. The Raptors could probably get him in a trade for some used office equipment.
reply
I am not a huge KAT fan but I am not a detractor like some. I think he is a really good player. Depending on the trade and how they could work it into the their future cap situation. While they have a lot of space now they have to extend IQ and will eventually need to pay Barnes. If they could make it work I wouldn't be against it.
reply
I don't like KAT and would not like to see him in a Raptors jersey.

He makes some of the worst decisions in high pressure situations that I've ever seen.
However, if you're just looking for a guy to fill up the box score during the regular season while some young guys develop, he might be a good fit. Supposedly, he's well liked by his teammates.
He'll be a great good-stats-bad-team guy.

I mean, you can't blame them for wanting to keep that first round pick for themselves instead of handing it over to the Spurs. And they have some fierce competition in the Pistons, Wizards, Hornets, Trail Blazers, and Spurs. To tank just enough to keep that pick is a job well done IMO. I curious what @grayruby thinks about the Raptors season.
