Mazulla was the scapegoat for Smart. Smart made it impossible for Mazulla to coach the way he wanted to and he was in the way of the Jays taking over as the leaders. Smart was playing crunch time minutes over Derick White, if Mazulla wanted to play Dwhite then Smart would have had a melt down. I was tough on Mazulla at times but in my opinion the most important part of being an NBA coach is getting your players to buy in and play both sides of the court and Mazulla did that, going 16-3 in a playoff run.

The reason RJ and Quickley only played half a season for them was because they gave up a better player for them, and Scottie still played 60 games. This team is awful and it's absurd how Toronto fans don't seem to realize it.

Quickley's contract is flat, which means it doesn't get increasingly more expensive. In 5 years, he might be one of the cheapest starting point guards in the NBA. The Raptors believe he can still develop more. The only way his contract will be bad is if he literally forgets how to shoot 3s and refuses to play a lick of defense. By all accounts, he worked really hard this summer and I'd bet he'll take a jump this season. As for Scottie Barnes, have you bothered to watch him at all recently? His trainer, Brian Macon, is a handles coach and Scottie has been in the lab since February working on his skills bag. You could see it in the most recent Raptors/Celtics game. He was creating off the dribble and pulling up from midrange and nailing beautiful looking jumpers. Improvement and hard work is real, and to ignore it is showing a serious lack of foresight.

You cannot compare Paolo Banchero with anyone else in the league because there's no other star in the NBA playing with so many offensively limited players.

The first two are plausible but a 6.5 BPM is essentially saying he’ll be a top 10 player. For reference Kevin Durant was 4 last year. This will likely be an adjustment year for him. He’s never been a #1 option. Even in high school. It’s extremely unlikely he just slides right into that role with no problems. That’s not how this works.

They were 12-19 when they traded OG, then went 11-20 or so until they shut their guys down. Yes, they tanked at the end, but before tanking, they were basically on pace for a 30 win season. And that's with getting games from OG and Siakam, who are better than any Raptor player on the roster now (expect for Barnes, maybe). They are going to be awful.

@daryl_s

Not only did the Raptors deliberately tank, Scottie Barnes was injured, IQ was injured, Jakob Poeltl was injured, Barrett tragically lost his younger brother, Siakam and OG were traded mid-season, Jontay Porter was tanking his own play, it was Darko's first year as a head coach, Gradey Dick really struggled out of the gate, Bruce Brown thought he was going be traded again and was playing hurt, Jalen McDaniels was a rotation player and Malachi Flynn was their backup point guard. Last season was about a culture reset. This off-season has been monumental in the development of Scottie Barnes, Gradey Dick and Immanuel Quickley. Even guys like Ochai Agbaji are looking way different. There's an influx of shooting and smart players that fit around Scottie Barnes, who looks like he's going to be a regular triple-double threat with a high box-plus-minus and VORP this season. I'll take the over on 29.5 ten times out of ten. Barring injuries, gambling scandals, tragic deaths, asteroid strikes or another global pandemic, the Raptors are definitely better than a 30 win team.

Has Russillo ever done a podcast before? Of course he has, I listen to his 2-3 times a week. Even on his own pod, he'll sometimes start a statement at a whisper and slowly increase his volume. He was just perposterous with his volume on this podcast. SPEAK UP. Some of us do dishes or take showers when we listen to podcast. We cant stop every 3-5 minutes to increase the volume to be able to hear the first 15 seconds of your statement and then turned it down again so Bill doesnt blow our ear drum out.
