When Pascal was the leader of the team, he came out and said he wants to be a top 5 player in the league. The media asked Scottie about being a top guy, and he replied by saying he wants to take this team to the top of the east. Big difference in mindset.

[@keonfollett765]

Bingo

[@mitchelltessier9488]

True, but 1 was in a contract year and the other just signed a $270m contract.

[@tough3600]

he wanted to make all-nba so he could be eligible for the super max, it was always about the money

[@vegangrass6606]

You get it!

I like how this organization recognizes high character, talented, coachable guys. Holistic approach is a must. 🙌

[@jasprvs.theworld5836]

scottie has a much mature demeanor now, feel a whole nother energy about him

[@robojimtv]

I liked how he mentioned that it's hard to win in this league. Shows he realizes that it takes way more work than he ever imagined

To whoever is managing the official raptors account, please turn up the master volume when you upload your content. I already know whoever is editing the clips are using headphones and the volume is super low. This is why all interviews have low output sound quality on a PC, but it's ok via phone as most use earphones. OvO center is another story on poor audio equipment.

Love to see this new generation of reporters and journalists asking well-informed, insightful, and forward-thinking questions. It can get tiring hearing the old school way of formulaic storylines. I want to hear about the organizations direction; their decisions behind drafting for skill set 👏🏻

@@Desnond naw scottie my boy still. My West Indian massive but just asking . They had to pay him if they wanted to stay competitive but not because scottie achieve anything yet. …yet. The all star was a injury back up , I don’t know if that counts. Iq near 2oo mill I don’t know if they have any more money to get some quality players . But yeh man scottie getting paid is better that ujiri and Webster getting paid …two no ballers.

I can’t believe how much Scottie has matured! Awesome. I was a doubter when I first heard they were building the team around Scottie because he was so young - that’s a lot for a young guy. But, wow, he has grown so much and the leadership skills are becoming clear

[@maxcali863]

Scottie matured this summer, and IQ & RJ were already pretty mature but you can feel a sense of confidence and a calm before the storm. ☔️ We need the blue, purple, White classic colors back.

@@alexhsieh9228 I think some of these fans r too young to know what leadership is all about. That has to be a kid making that comment. Ujiri has failed on so many level after the ring run. I have to agree with u man .

These two players want to win. It is up to team to give them more useful tools. We need to move Bruce for a C or Bigger wing or both? They need that to take first steps toward winning.

I think they mostly just talked about signings and extensions and RJ is still under contract so there wasnt much to talk about.

[@louissehighlights6783]

RJ is right now busy with team Canada and is still under contract with the Raptors. But of course Masai knows that Scottie, IQ & RJ are the core of this team. This presser is not to discredit RJ. Please stop insinuating.

Go hide in a whole or go with the other players they lost

[@jimfaulkner4612]

Yes the players we had showed that they were good enough to possibly get us to play in. To resign Fred, OG, Pascal to be a middle if the road would have cost 400 million. Pascal refused 150 million. You don't pay that to finish 9th. Before injuries the new team was already as good as the old team. This was the only path forward.
