How are the Raptors Losers? They could nt use all of there MLE. They fired a washed up coach and got a new coach who will be good and was behind the great defense of the pistons. They got Bosh the 4th pick and kept him. They got Moiso and Palacio two solid role players. Yah they signed soem scrubs but every team has to have some scrubs. And The health should improve over the off season.

Brunson and palacio are players that cant do anything other than play defence. both of them r horrible shooters and journeymen for reasons. Bateer was a useless signing. even on a bad tema like toronto i doubt he would get many minutes. George williams is a player with a career full of injuries. do we need any more? this is a player that is so unknown that vince carter even said he has "never heard of him (Williams)". with our low cap space we should have just signed a few free agents and focused more on trades. instead we just made our roster more loaded with sh!tty players.
If your team is full of old players with horrible contracts, how can you trade them then? No team wants old players with horrible contracts. So either Toronto is full of old, horrible contracts, like you said, AND AS A RESULT COULDN'T MAKE A TRADE. Or They could make a trade, but decided against it, bec. it wasn't worth it to them. Sometimes the best move is not to make one at all, especially if the deal is questionable. Toronto probably had a few offers on the table, but decided against making them bec. it wasn't in their best interests. The latter is more likely. Trading just to trade is dumb. This is the NBA, not a sim league. Somehow I think GG knows more than you about being a good GM.
