New Raptors GM Contemplating Path



Hello, Bulldog here! I will be the new GM overseeing management of the Toronto Raptors! First, a little about myself, I live in eastern US and am an IRL hornets fan, but this is my first real sim experience. The Spurs job was very tantalizing with having Lamelo ball on it, as a hornets fan, but ultimately the 3rd overall pick was too much for me to pass up. 

As for the franchise, we actually are in quite a pickle: We have 2 amazing assets in the 3rd overall pick and Bradley Beal. The problem is...these don't exactly mesh well. Beal is a win-now type of player, a true all star, but even the 3rd overall pick will take a year or two to make an impact most likely. The Raptors simply don't have enough around beal as it is for a strong rookie to make an impact. Therefore, we have a decision to make: Shop Beal for strong returns now, while people have cap space, and commit to a full rebuild, or shop the 3rd pick for another superstar to put next to him? It's quite a quandary.

Adding to this is the fact that the raps don't have many players under contract next season, and as a result will have a lot of cap space. So that would lend itself well to being able to shop beal; the return would be even better if we took on a bad contract or two in exchange. Either way, with the draft on the 2nd, we have about a week to decide, so keep your eyes peeled for a trade block post once we have decided!
