Another disappointing morning.

I hope you wake up tomorrow to a Dragic less Toronto Raptors franchise.

You think they are going after PJ Washington? They can trade a 1st in 2022 or 2023 now.

I would take that and run.

Maybe Dragic, Flynn + 1 or 2 SRP.

I know everyone's down on Ross but would be a great off the bench player if paired with OG or Barnes.

And Bamba I'm just super high on.

I’d like to see what Bamba can do in a winning situation. Would prefer Harris to Ross but I know that changes the money and tax implications.

Maybe we can do a Top 20 protected 1st that becomes two 2nd round picks if not conveyed.

I gotta admit. This might be the first deadline where i'll be perfectly happy if nothing goes down.

Another thing we arent talking about....maybe we hace a great febuary and dragic is persuaded to become a bench piece. That might be better than any deadline move. That dude always plays well in the playoffs.

We're in a season fresh off being a lottery team and people want win now moves that will put us nearly 10M over the luxury tax and cost us immediate and future draft capital.

This isn't even the cart pulling the horse. This is selling the cart and the horse for 10 bags of grain that you'll carry on your shoulders 150km to the next town and not being worried because now you won't go hungry.

Banton and Achiuwa are growing and not there yet and cant be counted on in playoffs

We need bench help ... priority number 1 should be a scoring 1/2 guard ... lets see if we can get it with Dragic

Come the playoffs, Nurse only goes down to a 7-8 man rotation

FVV
OG
Trent
Siakam
Barnes
Boucher
New Guard
New 4/5

I'd love to take a Prime John Salmons on this Raps team :lol:

The best way to use Dragic is to take a guy with 2 years left, that helps us now, and also is a Dragic 2.0 expiring next year. And we get an asset as well for taking that off the trade partner.

That way we get help now, get an asset as well, and also get the salary ballast for an all-in move next year.

Gallo + Huerter.
Bledsoe + Hart.
KCP + something.
Beasley + Naz Reid.
Holmes + Holiday + Pick.
Olynyk + Cojo + Pick.

You can find this on almost every team in the NBA. The only prerequisite is that they're motivated to create cap space, which they usually are.

Could see Dragic for Okpala and a 2nd. Would help OKC reach the salary floor.

I realized the signs at the back after I stopped staring at the chick's outfit lol.

Oh how I remember that was us during the Babcock era. Tough times lol.

I keep coming back to Josh Hart and Winslow. Just seems like a fit and should be free (e.g. Dragic only ) for Portland to shed cap.

Raptors blockbuster trade tomorrow is going to be Svi for a 2nd round pick
