The league is in no way heading towards 5 out.

Offensively it is.
Not really. The importance of having a roller is bigger than it's ever been.
The only prominent 5 out team in the NBA is the Clippers (could be missing someone) and they havent won a ring yet.
And even the Clippers are still playing Zubac half the game in the regular season and about 1/3rd of the game in playoff matchups. 5 out isnt some future thing that is going to completely take over.
The Celtics and Warriors both played 5-out in the NBA Finals.
The Mavs played 5-out against the Jazz.
The Grizzlies played 5-out with JJJ.
The Bucks play 5-out with both Bropez and Portis.
Ayton spaces the floor to about 18 feet, just not all the way to the 3pt line.
The offensive side of the game seems to be to space the floor and attack off the dribble, then kicking out to the wing. Defensively, it's nice if your 5 can still guard the rim and the paint.
Zubac has been played off the floor in the postseason the last couple of years, but that's more about struggling to guard on the perimeter rather than what he does or doesn't do offensively.

every GM was mad at Ainge for the 2 trade hauls and started only offering crap trying to see if Ainge would give a contender Bogie for scraps, we couldnt keep Bogie so we traded him to a team that wouldnt hurt us. and said FU to the contending teams lowballing us

He’s a good player for somebody and anybody new is going to have a lot harder time sticking than a homey. He didn’t embarrass himself in his preseason debut the way Butler did. Too athletic anyway to wear Jazz colors.
Regarding the Bogey deal, I would have been fine with our haul had it contained a first or a couple seconds. Kelly O is instrumental in the five out and it’s our fault we didn’t have room for Lee. Truth is, the guy never stood a snowball’s chance.
I think Toronto qualifies as a 5 out team.
You must have more money than the queen you cheap bastard.
I'd agree. I guess it didn't really pop into my head because Siakim doesn't really take that many 3s or is he that good at them, but he's not really a roller either.
Overall I think the 5 out model is too expensive and hard to come by. You need a lot of 6'6 to 6'9 players who can all shoot. Those are the most coveted star and role players.
I'd also say Toronto's biggest weakness is going to be their lack of a big.
