CMB is an absurdly good defender. Future DPOY,

@OwnedByToronto When has ujiri ever moved up in the draft… He didn’t even make this decision, he’s an owner, so not involved with front office decisions. He can just advocate for a direction but plays no role in decision making.

Wow Ujiri making trades in the draft. Could never be Bobby.

@TheoTenerife_ Problem now is who tf can we even trade for. Jak has one of the worst contracts in the league. RJ is expiring but I’m sure someone will want him. Quickley has been exposed for the fraud he is. Question is how many picks are the raptors willing to move to improve the roster

We need him to raise his trade value tbh.

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto Progressively gets worse is exactly the disingenuous bs you mention earlier. Every year you think he’s regressed was a year this team decided to tank. When a team is built around him to win you finally get Scottie in all nba talks + DPOY finalist.

@hmxadxe @KaiBOBOtto Dude Scottie is in year 5 and progressively gets worse at scoring or stays exactly the same. He is who he is at this point bro

Linsanity run over back to regular programming

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto only reason I bring up age is I know a jumpshot developing for Scottie is likely. Free throw shooting his a huge indicator of 3 point translation. Scottie’s been shooting close to 80% the last 2 years; give him a year or 2, the middy will be elite next year and the 3 will follow

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto Again your a Siakam fan. Despite any effort I make, I won’t be able to convince you otherwise—and that’s fine. P is an awesome player and his jersey will be retired here but Scottie’s ability to play-make and defend paired with his age and versatility render him a better player.

Get off 2 albatross contracts. Add a very early 2nd rounder in 2026 to land one of Krivas or Veesar Scottie gets his 6’10 movement shooter Barnes 6’8 RJ 6’6 BI 6’9 MPJ 6’10 CMB 6’8 Shead Walter Lawson Battle Mamu 2026 1st 2026 2nd rounder (30-35 range)

@Persevere21 @FT_Merchant05 @Raptors Oh this is dumb, takes like this is what makes raptor fans sound insane. Genuinely one of the worst takes I’ve heard all week, do raptor fans a disservice and delete this. There’s nobody in the league in the same stratosphere as Wemby defensively and you claim Scottie’s better…

@FT_Merchant05 He has more than Wemby's impact defrnsively for this team How many goid defenders does Wemby has had as team mates. Wemby went 3/12 vs @Raptors last month guarded mostly by CMB, the rookie and if wasn't for the refs he would have had 6pts. He flopped his way to fts.

“But he’s an elite defender, so he’s a top 15 player” If your don’t have Wemby type of defensive impact, u cannot be one of the better players itl if u have a below average offensive game. Scottie Barnes is awful

@BenchHighlights Collin Murray Boyles

Who do you want to see highlights of from tonight?

@WolstatSun Says a lot with Scottie in DPOY talks. I agree, I think he ends his career as the greatest defender to wear the jersey

This is a little premature, but Collin Murray-Boyles has a chance to become the best defensive Raptors player ever. For a rookie he's pretty special.

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto This is what I mean. You sound like a child, if I disagree with you its "retarded" or "stupidity". If you ask a raptor fan that has watch multiple iterations of the team and isn't skewed with the championship bias, they'd tell you Barnes>.

@hmxadxe @KaiBOBOtto If you did then you wouldn’t be saying the shit you just said. You have no rationale for your arguments. Just straight stupidity

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto Let me put it this way. I trust a Scottie-led roster (with 3&D and cerebral players) than I do with a Siakam-led roster. Maybe ptsd from the bubble, but I always felt P needed a superstar playmaker alongside him to thrive and now he does with Hali Scottie needs a Booker.

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto Well we're about to see Scottie this season. He's 24. Siakam was 26 in his first playoff series as a top option. He was awesome in 18-19 for us but Kawhi had huge gravity and that raptors team had multiple contributors Scottie has liabilities, but itll be his first run as #1

@hmxadxe @KaiBOBOtto Show me a Scottie playoff series win. You can’t point out a bad playoff series as an argument vs a player who’s never even won one or had a good playoff series. Makes no sense. And that was the bubble in the weirdest year ever. Every other year Siakam has been great lmao

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto Down for normal discourse, but you sound frustrated trying to make a point. Would love to hear you, I promise I'm not trying to come off as disingenuous, watched every single P game, but felt his game was capped. SB just has more dimensions to how he can develop and impact the gm

@hmxadxe @KaiBOBOtto No one’s crying. If that’s how you perceive my comments than you do you. I don’t care. I’m not spamming. I’m giving you my argument in multiple replies. You’re trying to come off as objective when you’re objectively the opposite of that.

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto You can believe what you do, I have my beliefs. Peace man

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto You dont want me to pull out the Celtics Eastern semi-finals files now do you😂😂😂 Pascal cost this team a 2nd finals trip but I'll let it slide. I loved P, but cmon. Ik I cant convince you but I think we should leave this convo peacefully

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto Someone's mad. If you cant objectively participate in discourse without crying, give it up. You're spamming me for no reason kiddo. You're a PS fan, I'm not even a Scottie fan, I'm a Raptors fan and have been for longer than you've likely been on the planet. You sound unhinged rn

@hmxadxe @KaiBOBOtto Scottie lands you Giannis yeah you guys are fucking retarded when it comes to Scottie. By far the most overrated player I’ve ever seen in my time watching the NBA

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto Siakam better????? end of argument bud, Siakam went for a bag of chips for a reason. Scottie lands you Giannis, but Toronto doesn't do it knowing they have garbage assets to surround Giannis. Siakam better than Scottie may be the most delusional thing I've heard all week lmaooo

@hmxadxe @KaiBOBOtto I definitely watched the Raptors and what I’m saying is objectively the facts. YOU are blinded by your bias for Scottie. Siakam started hooping at 17. No shit he was a later bloomer. You’re right Siakam and Scottie aren’t comparable because Siakam is hilariously better

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto Scottie can afford to be a 30% shooter because he anchors the defense while being able to play virtually any position on the floor. All I ask is he be surrounded with shooters. Not 1 movement shooter his whole career is laughable, cmon even Siakam had norm and Danny green.

@hmxadxe @KaiBOBOtto Also he was a 33% shooter in his time with Scottie. That definitely isn’t someone that “can’t shoot”. Scottie is the definition of someone that can’t shoot and isn’t remotely a threat from 3. 30% this year 27 last year

@threescorethor @KaiBOBOtto Swap pascal with Scottie now on the raptors and we are a 15 win team

@hmxadxe @KaiBOBOtto I guarantee that wouldn’t change anything. Scottie’s offensive scoring game is just embarrassingly bad for his contract and expectations. Scottie being a non shooter till this moment is the biggest reason for spacing issues. HE is the problem
