Also the 44 games with Toronto were critical to rehabbing his career. Dude was a throw in to us. He was not wanted after the Kings did whatever they do to players. 

In a vacuum I think sure but looking at an expiring vs a similar type of player to be the backup who’s on a 2nd round rookie contract for years it’s a no brainer especially when the team was really young. Shead also made major leaps as a defender this past year compared to rookie year

Nah not really

No he’s not

It’s not crazy to say he’s good enough to be a Davion Mitchell equivalent.

But yes, Jamal is my favourite current Raptor. Just a dude who makes you want to cheer for him.

my guy clippers were asking for shead in the kawhi trade. It’s not crazy to see that he’s a valuable player relative to what he is paid

We are proud Shead-heads, deal with it

“Why do fans praise the guy who stepped up in the playoffs in lieu of their starting PG being hurt and was critical to a late game comeback to tie the Cavs series? Are they stupid?”

They had comparable season last year and Shead is 3 years younger + coming off the bench

I watch him play all the time and you’re right lol

I agree. He is a mini PG who can’t shoot. He probably won’t last too long in the league. Dude shot 36% from the field last year lol.

So weird how we were basically missing 3 functioning starters in a series against the most expensive team ITL we were “supposed” to get swept by and somehow, mysteriously took it 7 games with Scottie+RJ and a literal summer league roster. Wonder what that was about.

Couldn’t be that Raptors fans actually have agency or anything, and that people who don’t watch us but talk about our players are actually just as stupid as we’ve said they’ve been for the last half a decade…

Not like we ever said OG and Pascal are drastically better than people wish they are, and turned out to be ‘surprisingly’ worth more than whatever shitty offers Masai was “washed” for not biting on…not like they were both top-2 players on finals teams with superstar-level impact 2 years in a row or anything…

Damn. Raptors fans are mad as hell at you.

It’s crazy how they talk about their team.

Kawhi is still good. Did you not watch him last season? Clown take brother.

And I never said Shead is different than Davion. I agree that he’s probably even a little worse. But he was still on a rookie deal for 3 years and Davion was a pending free agent who wasn’t going to re-sign. Easy decision who to keep when they say Shead could be a decent replacement for Davion.

Y’all headed for dark ages with Masai

Masai is gone but I understand how you feel. We can be hopeful to the point of delusion. But that’s sports

i mean…kawhi was objectively elite last season lol

Kawhi was like a top 5 most impactful player per 60 in the league last year, on both sides of the court, what the hell are you talking about?

team with a great young player in Barnes on the cusp of being elite, who just had a great rookie performance with CMB, and who finally put it together after years of sucking ass to get the 5 seed, then fought like hell in a 7 game series against a great cavs team should just “blow it up” and start over again lmao you people are absolutely insane

Your franchise player is pbnoj the magic will never win shit lmao

Lmfao wth

Who thought Ingram was good? I hated that trade from the second it was rumoured

Kawhi was objectively one of the best players on earth this past season

one of those does not belong lol

Where’s that gif of Lebron being like “ANYBODY BUT YOU* to Sengun cause that’s how I feel reading this comment lmaoooo

What is Fox doing on this list lol

Thats kinda their thing.

Fox 😂

Yes. Has been for years. It used to be a three headed race with Spo-Pop-Kerr. But Pop no longer coaches and Kerr has shown not to be on the level of when curry and co were in their prime, plus throwing Poole under the bus for draymond punching him not a great coach look

nah not consensus, but he’s definitely one of the best, and has been for a really long time

I think he is top 3 right now. All time? Probably top 20.

You know what’s not on that list? Winning games. Rest wasn’t an issue so that point is moot

That sounds like what any coach would want in a PG lol

what other starting point guard would you take Davion Mitchell over?

Not gonna age well.

I don’t think they’re eager to move him at all.

y do ppl act like davion just had a bad season or is on a bad contract lol? wat is this comment?

They’d move him to the bench sooner than they’d get rid of him

Shead is 3 years younger

I like the hate. Set the remind for 8 months

We talking bout KD like he ain’t just slander his own teammates on a burner when they were a 2 seed without him

“Off-night” isnt your typical undersized guard though. Built like an NFL player and plays defense like its last day on earth, he isnt exactly your typical undersized guard.

Heat made it pretty far with Lowry doing just that lol. If it wasn’t for injuries prob could’ve won it all
