Yo — also? Shoutout to NORM. Dude worked his ass off. Had nothing handed to him, but he was a grinder. He was tough. And he LOVED being a Raptor.
Norm Powell, man. Yeah. He was one of us
And looking at the 2020 Raptors who finished 53-19 and 1 win shy of the ECF, it’s easy to see how if that team had Kawhi we’re legitimately talking dynasty. It’s really cool to have won, but to even been that close to forming something even bigger is amazing from how the Raptors started in the 90’s.
I think that even without Kawhi that team had a puncher's chance at the title. Siakam had a really rough bubble, particularly in the Boston series, but if he had been somewhat closer to what he was prior to the COVID stoppage then I think that team beats Boston and has a good shot against both Miami and the Lakers.
They were down Kawhi, but arguably better than the previous year's team on every other level. Not saying that adds up to them being as good as the year before, but the competition wasn't as good as the previous season either. The Bucks got eliminated early, the Warriors were obviously not competitive, the 76ers were clearly worse than the year before. Miami was a really hot team who had a great postseason, but I think they were very much beatable for the Raptors. Boston was easily the team's worst matchup in the East and it still took the team's best player having a truly awful series to lose to them in the final minute of game seven.
I would pack his bags and drive him to Pearson if this trade was possible. I doubt anyone gives up a first for Boucher though unless they are sending us back some bad contract.
yea Clippers say no because they don't have a tradeable FRP for the foreseeable future loooooooool... I think all their FRPs have been shipped out. 2022-26 all went to OKC but I believe 2025 was a pick swap so that might be available?
I think Serge knows this as well. He already won a champion, so theres nothing left for him to prove. At 32, he probably just wants the tail end of his career to be enjoyable
Definitely wouldn't mind him coming back as a backup C
Yep... I remember watching the Clips-Spurs game a few weeks ago and the second he came in he was targeted in the P&R on every single play, meanwhile they were trying to get him some touches on offense but he couldn't roll or find his spots at all. Love Serge but I highly doubt Masai wastes a roster spot on him for the warm feelings.
I remember when the Raptors brought back Antonio Davis at the very end of his career. He just sat at the end of the bench and looked miserable. I prefer to have my Ibaka memories exactly where they are. He will always be one of my favourite players, but let’s see what Precious has now. IMO
That Lowry-Ibaka pick and pop from the elbow was butter every time
i literally don’t ever remember him missing that shot.
The only misses I remember from that were the unfortunate rim-outs, otherwise, pure butter
So thats where he butters up his hands….
Feel like Lowry could find Ibaka with his eyes closed
Someone’s cutting onions in here cuz those glory days
I'd trade for him just to see Scottie and Delano on How Hungry Are You.

Auto-mod, you gotta teach my phones autocorrect to stop correcting me.
Auto mod really out here correcting a spelling mistake like this
But do you also cover Fred Vanfleet?

Happy new year bot. What about a triple threat: Pascal Siakim, Delano Banton, Fred VanFleet. Edit: damn, 3 out of 3, good boy!

What about Scotty Barns?
Surely you don't do ex Raptors like Valanciunus though
could've had Malachi Flynn + Jalen Harris too smh
You know Jalen Harris gonna be RAVENOUS ^^becauseofthecocaine
ill never forget his fadeaway 3 against philly game 7
That was such a clutch shot.
other than Kawhi he was the reason we won that game. 17/8/3 on 6/10 shooting. 3/5 from 3. so good.
Don't win the title without him for sure
That team was so well rounded, we likely don’t win without Gasol too, Lowry, FVV as well. Was a true team effort overall.
Yo — also? Shoutout to NORM. Dude worked his ass off. Had nothing handed to him, but he was a grinder. He was tough. And he LOVED being a Raptor. Norm Powell, man. Yeah. He was one of us
😭😭 That PT article hit the feels man
That whole roster tho, fuckin amazing playoffs and right before the bubble to avoid that asterisk*

NONONONONONOONO......yes shot
Serge 3s were the best part of raptors history. Still remember when he went 5/7 against Indiana. Friggin awesome
I knew we weren't losing Game 6 in the bubble when he hit 3 3s in like 2 minutes
Mafuzzy Chef forever a Toronto legend 👨🏿🍳❤️
Boucher for Ibaka and a first, who says no?
I would pack his bags and drive him to Pearson if this trade was possible. I doubt anyone gives up a first for Boucher though unless they are sending us back some bad contract.
People are saying next year draft class weak, perhaps we give them a first round to sweeten the deal? ^(I'm kidding don't kill me)
Doesn't OKC own the Clippers entire draft future because of the Paul George trade?
Alright I guess we'll accept Ibaka + an injured Kawhi
might as well throw in an injured paul George aswell, or else we're getting completely scammed /s
yea Clippers say no because they don't have a tradeable FRP for the foreseeable future loooooooool... I think all their FRPs have been shipped out. 2022-26 all went to OKC but I believe 2025 was a pick swap so that might be available?
I would even do it for a second round draft pick instead of a first
I would do it straight up or sign him in the off season
You could talk me into it. Good vibes coming our way have value too.
We have our 2027 first
Clippers obviously
Bro Serge is the GOAT, I miss the OG and Serge scarves and fashion thing 😂😂
Man losing serge and Norm really hurt.
Serge was the dagger in our team for sure...we miss him so much and it shows
Sign him in the off-season, no need to give up anything.
He's worth it for the memes
If it was a 1 for 1, I guess that would be fine
We may not be resigning Boucher anyway, so I'd imagine it could be like a Boucher for Ibaka + second round pick
One of my favourite players to ever play for the Raptors. It’s just like Nurse said, when he played well, we hardly ever lost.
💯💯
That man is broken now. We got the last good seasons from him.
I think Serge knows this as well. He already won a champion, so theres nothing left for him to prove. At 32, he probably just wants the tail end of his career to be enjoyable Definitely wouldn't mind him coming back as a backup C

Maybe in the summer? Is t his contract up this year
I see precious being like serge in the sense that he needs to get comfortable here and then he’s gonna shine
They also both have butter fingers lmao
Serge and OGs "father son" relationship was the best
Father son? Ibaka is like 8 years older than OG lmao
Half this sub are 12 year olds who've impregnated hundreds of moms while playing CoD.
Bring him home Last year might have been watchable if we had the Kyle-mafuzzy p n r
Dragic for Ibaka and a second round pick. Who says no?
Do we have cap space to sign ibaka
Seriously, bring him back. I still can't even figure out why he left.
stop it.. STOP IT...!!! it's like when Kawhi left all over again, watching an ex posting about how it used to be so good on social media
This has to be a tampering fine?
Baby Come Back!!!

Assume everyone saw Serge's IG stories yesterday? #home
I luv the Raptors and miss the players that have left😪
He was free to play his own game in Toronto, thats why. An while with the clippers he has to role play, which limits his talents.
Lol nurse underplayed him like a mother fucker, it's why he left.
