Disclaimer: Cleaning The Glass has DeMar DeRozan spending more possessions as the de facto 3, but he started at the 2 and his stans tend to get more bent out of shape by his designation than most. He logged enough of his time at shooting guard (42 percent) to make this exception.

Firing head coach Dwane Casey cheap new nike nfl jerseys could be the extent of the Raptors’ offseason overhaul. None of their best trade assets are guaranteed to yield an assortment of high-end spare parts, and they don’t have any cap space.

Five rotation players will also begin next season on the right side of 25: OG Anunoby, Norman Powell, Jakob Poeltl, Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet (restricted). Throw Delon Wright into this gaggle as well. He’s 26, but he has just three years of experience to his resume. Toronto’s depth chart is not without prospective in-house leaps.

Still, standing relatively pat without working the phones would indicate the Raptors believe their youth coupled with a new coach amounts to a stronger crusade against LeBron James. (Unless, of course, he leaves the East.) That doesn’t sit right.

Casey made some off-putting choices during the Raptors’ second-round implosion against the Cleveland Cavaliers: playing Lucas Nogueira to close the first half in Game 4, electing not to try pressuring James on his buzzer-beater in Game 3, keeping an Anunoby-Siakam 4-5 partnership under wraps, etc. cheap nfl jerseys nike china But getting rid of him alone doesn’t noticeably elevate their ceiling. They’re not the Milwaukee Bucks. They didn’t underachieve this year.

Jettisoning DeRozan might. He’s working off a career year, but he still isn’t the ideal guard for how the Raptors want to play. A willingness to launch more threes has not translated to league-average efficiency. nike jersey nfl cheap He canned 31.2 percent of his treys during the regular season and shot 21.4 percent on triples in which he wasn’t completely wide-open for the playoffs.

Tapping DeRozan for scapegoat duty is unfair. But Casey’s decision to bench him down the stretch of a pivotal Game 3 says a lot. Kyle Lowry can have an impact playing off the ball or when he’s not hitting shots. DeRozan is less likely to do so. cheap youth nfl jerseys

Moving him could be tough. Shelling out almost $83 million for him over the next three years is steep, and other teams will encounter the same problems with his offensive game. youth nfl jerseys cheap But he’ll work for a squad that’s more open to accentuating his one-on-one stylings. The Raptors have to least see what he’s worth.
