    Not in this case. That logic doesn't apply here. That's what they thought by making no significant moves and they still are going home early once again. You're ceiling does not change by doing nothing. That's just delusional. This team won't even make it to 5 years. They may be in the lottery then once the rebuild starts soon

    Not a 4-0 sweep kind of bad matchup. The Raptors were deeper, more rested, and had homecourt. To not win a single game in this series and get demolished twice is inexcusable.

    Toronto very disappointing, season an absolute failure. Only takeaway is that you have a decent bench and some guys to trade potentially, but Lowry and or DeRozan along with Valancunis or Ibaka. I’m sure there are some takers.

    I’d go with Casey for one more year since he deserves credit for changing their style a bit and getting most of such a mediocre roster, but maybe his lack of adjustments in the playoffs hurt them too much. Not sure.

    Raps in 4, who would’ve thought.

    The games were closer than the sweep indicates.

    I mean, thats not really telling me much, I get it, but like.....none of this really makes any sense to me, they have Kyle Korver and Kevin Love out there, how is no one exploiting those match ups.

    If they trade anyone i think it will be front court
    Right now they are a better version of the Wizards

    I dunno who they could get to get better

    With who? Toronto doesn't exactly have a list of guys that are fully capable. Role players aren't doing it for sure

    Check all the raptors threads. I'm at not surprised at all about toronto. Fools gold. They're not doing anything. Never took them seriously. Never will With that core

    Learning experiences are for teams like Boston and philly. What Toronto got is a reality check

    That's embarrassing. I expected better result from the Raptors.

    Somehow they seem to have a mental block with the Cavs. I wonder if Pacers had beaten Cavs in the first round, how the Raptors would have played.
