But even trading those three at the deadline, you are still a playoff team in the East. This is what I keep hammering home, the bench mob's underlying numbers last year were incredible. Now I get a lot of those minutes came against backups, but they were still one of the very best five man units in the NBA. You basically have to start doing stupid #### like renouncing FVV and trading Delon for draft picks, waiving Poeltl and trying to trade good NBA players for guys like Luol Deng.

We all hate the Raps current predicament, but there isn't much realistically to do except hope they hit a draft pick out of the park, or maybe LeBron wants to become PM and we do that in exchange for coming to Toronto. It sucks, but the alternative is literally making yourself appear to be the worst run franchise in the history of sports.

Also Cousins literally has zero playoff wins. He's a very good player, but I view him as in the same class as DeRozan in that he needs to be the #2/#3 option if you wanna win a ring. He'd be the #1 option on the Raptors.
