MODERATORS
I think my Raptors can do better than .500 (41 wins) this year - I like what I see from new head coach Darko Rajakovic. The East is deep though
I think the whole league is uncertain whether they keep the stars or send away Siakam and OG to gain FRP and rebuild, they already have some good pieces
I think the reason that's unlikely is that they'll have to finish in the bottom 2 to maintain control of the top 6 protected draft pick that was sent to the spurs. They'd have to tank from very early in the season and the team is too good to be that bad. The contract situations of OG, Trent and Pascal will keep them motivated to win. Playing team first ball is another question after seeing the bag Fred got.
They can't be bottom 2 if they keep the three you mentioned and they let Barnes play
