    Kyle Lowry returns for an already hot Raptors team tonight. The way Van Fleet has played for them, I'd be looking to unload Lowry's brutal contract about now.

    They just extended his contract a month and a half ago so they obviously feel differently about it being brutal.

    In my opinion if they knew VanFleet could run the team the way he has since Lowry has been out, they wouldn’t have given him $31M for the season.

    I didn't say anything about their losses to Toronto or Milwaukee. I said we'll finish with a better record than Utah. Which we will.

    Utah started last season like us this year. Road-heavy schedule and played poorly in few home games.

    That graph means Luka is really good. At both ends of the floor.

    They knew exactly what they had in VanVleet. On top of that they extended Lowry for next season.

    You are always so VERY VERY sure of your opinion. There is nothing wrong with that, but , “they knew exactly”? Really. As an outsider who doesn’t know anything about their situation, sure seems like they WAY overspent when VanFleet has been killing it. 31 MILLION for Lowry?

    Yep. Heck, Hubie Brown voted for VanVleet for Finals MVP. No joke.

    Oh. I have such fond memories of the THE phase. Those were good times on this board weren’t they?

    Lowry/VanVleet is better than just VanVleet.
