Mitchell is not a GTJ replacement he's a back up pg which the Raps were lacking post IQ trade. Tyus Jones doesn't want to play for a rebuilding team. Koloko will be notified by the NBA if he's can continue his career in about a week. The Raps may get involved in a few trades that are being discussed as they still want to move Brown and Boucher. The Raps current roster: CP: Poeltl/Olynyk PF: Barnes/Boucher/Mogbo SF: Barrett/Dick/Temple SG: Brown/Ogbaji/Walter PG: Quickley/Mitchell/Shead Two Way Contracts: G DJ Carton C Branden Carlson C Ulrich Chomche Exhibition 10 Contracts: F Quincy Guerrier F Jamison Battle G Tylor Perry
I think it's pretty obvious the Raps will use the last roster spot to bring back Christian Koloko. Question just remains what will happen with Bruce Brown.
Alright, the after math with Sasha: In Sacramento, he was making 6.6mil per year (which according to ChatGPT for that amount, paying taxes in California) is 2.2mil NET. At the same time Olympiacos offered him a 20mil/5 years deal NET, which means he is going to make 4mil NET per year, which is almost twice as much, as what he was making here. Of course he will do a $0 buyout and of course he was going to leave Toronto, so there is no reason for regrets. In Olympiacos, he will be a starter and important role and also making twice as much, while Raptors wouldn't offer him neither starter position, nor double the salary. So, I think both sides got what they wanted, except for the Kings.

Unfortunately this team is a work in progress. I’m not sure what to expect in the future. This will likely be a difficult season to watch.
