OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

Nope

Phoenix trying to create a market through the media. There is no deal for KD that makes sense for us. We just don't have enough bad money.

Yeah, RJ and the 9 for Cam & the 19 makes a lot of sense for both. RJ fits with their timeline better and is signed for 2 more years. They'll get a decent prospect at the 9. Though there's no one I love there, there are always 1-2 weirdo all stars somewhere in the late lottery of back half of the 1st round, just have to find them. For us, Cam is a big efficiency upgrade offensively, add shooting we need as well. Listed as a PF but plays more like a classic SF. He and Scottie would be pretty interchangeable at the 3-4. Also probably the right type of veteran to put around our young guys. Listening to him on JJ's old podcast gives a pretty good idea of what he is. Intelligent, mature pro.
 
So, its fucking bleacher report, but this is a proposed 4 way that lands Giannis in Toronto


Toronto Raptors get:
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (from Bucks)
  • Jalen Smith (from Bulls)
  • Jevon Carter (from Bulls)
Milwaukee Bucks get:
  • RJ Barrett (from Raptors)
  • Gradey Dick (from Raptors)
  • Chris Boucher (sign-and-trade from Raptors)
  • Ja'Kobe Walter (from Raptors)
  • Gabe Vincent (from Lakers)
  • 2025 No. 9 (this and the following picks are all from Raptors)
  • 2026 first-round swap rights
  • 2026 Lakers second-rounder
  • 2027 first-round pick
  • 2028 first-round swap rights
  • 2029 first-round pick
  • 2030 first-round swap rights
  • 2031 first-round pick
  • 2032 first-round swap rights (top-five protected for the Raptors)
Los Angeles Lakers get:
  • Jakob Poeltl (from Raptors)
  • Lonzo Ball (from Bulls)
Chicago Bulls get:
  • Dalton Knecht (from Lakers)
  • Jarred Vanderbilt (from Lakers)
  • Shake Milton (from Lakers)
  • AJ Lawson (from Raptors)
  • $10 million trade exception (Ball)
  • $9 million trade exception (Smith)
  • $1.5 million trade exception (Carter)

    That feels super lite and a pick salad for Milwaukee, and kind of simultaniously expensive for LAL and meh for Chicago, but i'll defer to Mindz and Zeke
 
I mean everyone but 1 person (1.5 if we count Jonas) knew that this has always been a lock so it's hard to be surprised to see that the raps are favorites here. Will be exciting when it's finally official.

The pooh pooh platter

Imagine trading a perennial MVP candidate and the best player you get back is Jake Puddle...and the best pick a 9th overall in an okay but just okay draft.

Yes, if we can get Giannis for the pooh pooh platter, of course I'm in.
