From the basement of the AL East last year to Game 7 of the World Series. A supposedly weak farm system became our foundation. Character unmatchedβ€”teams will try to imitate what Toronto built. Couldn’t be prouder of this group. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
I like Darko this team needs a hardass coach now, way too much knucklehead stuff from your starters (Scottie especially). #Raptors
It was stupidly obvious that Kalkbrenner could be a starting quality center in the NBA, and the draft community obsessed with youth and 'upside' looked right past him. #NBA #nbadraft
We *need* a second shotblocking center.

And match up Scottie's minutes with Giannis!
Raptors defense still a work in progress but the defence is legit.
Raptors bringing Summer League to the preseason tonight.
Raptors bench is gonna be really good. Starters just need some more flow, Poeltl will help with that.
Are we sure Mikka Muurinen's not the #1 prospect in the 2027 draft class? How many other players in his class could be doing this in #Eurobasket right now?

The baby Raptors are 2-0 in Vegas! Through 2 games, they've:
- forced opponents into 63 turnovers
- scored 84 points off those turnovers
- combined for 51 points on the break

I wonder if they could interview a team representative without it requiring 1/3 of the screen? Does the technology exist?
Without CMB as a playmaking hub SL Raps gotta lean on 48 minutes of hell to grind these out.
Didn't say anyone else didn't - just that the 'two timelines' notion their owner insisted on was never going to work, has been an objective disaster results-wise, and if they played those cards differently, Curry would be much better positioned to compete for titles while he's still a top 10 player.

We don't have to wait until media day. Ja'Kobe Walter has added 12 pounds of muscle since the end of the season, according to Darko. #MuscleWatch
The what if of the Warriors just trading the Wiseman, Kuminga and Moody picks for productive players - and how many titles Curry might have won - is really haunting. He deserved better.
I don't know why people convinced themselves Carter Bryant has star upside. I'm sure he'll be a great role player for 10-15 years, maybe a good starter, but he's nearly 20 and can't really dribble - he's the prototype 3&D but I don't see anything beyond that. #SummerLeague
Keeping Thibs' staff while hiring a worse coach - quite the strategy...

Veteran extension rules in the new CBA make this possible, giving team a bit more flexibility in what they can offer / how they can structure.

Based on Shams' #, something like this for next 5 years for Poeltl now:

19.5
19.5
26.4
28.5
30.6
FROM SHAMS:

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl has agreed on a four-year, $104 million contract extension with the franchise through 2029-30, sources tell ESPN. Poeltl will pick up his 2026-27 player option at $19.5M and add three additional years to his deal.

Working to confirm, but Poeltl opting in to 19.5 for 26-27 is a big deal. Starting him at his max raise next year β€” north of 27 β€” would have created real headache for Raps, cap/tax wise. Would work out to a 3/84.5 extension after that.

Poeltl is even more important to the Raptors' success than Turner was for the Pacers, so the number makes sense. They just need to become a playoff contender to justify it now.
Raptors with Poeltl in the lineup over the last 2 seasons: 42-65 (.393)
Without: 13-44 (.228)

Raptors with Poeltl on the court over the last 2 seasons: -54
Without: -826
I really like this for the #Raptors. Not massive but was my ideal realistic backup center move for them.
FROM SHAMS:

Free agent F/C Sandro Mamukelashvili has agreed to a two-year, $5.5 million deal with the Toronto Raptors, plus a second year player option, sources tell ESPN. George Roussakis and Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports negotiated the new deal with the Raptors.
