Maybe they are clearing the way for Loyd. Not a trad. PG, but maybe he has improved with the 905.

I just noticed the Raptors 905 has Myck Kabongo.


lol I was LITERALLY just thinking what happened to Myck Kabongo.


Lloyd has a 126% TS and has NEVER MISSED in the NBA. His CAREER shooting splits are.... wait for it.....

100/100/100

Max him out.

Why didn't they trade him to the bulls for a conditional second rounder? Smh

Too bad Felder had his issues. He'd be a solid third stringer.

Lorenzo Brown: Masai did me and Demar dirty. Good luck trying to recruit free agents if this is how you treat your star players.

bc the Rockets sent cash. What the rockets did was a big market move..acquire a future 2nd for cash and a player they were going to waive anyway .

What we did was a small market move...cut a player to save money...unless we make a trade to acquire more salary, this is just Toronto being cheap as usual.

Losing a first to get rid of carroll
giving Cojo away to get under the cap

We act like a small market in a big market

Miles for Cory made sense at the time. We needed shooting and had a glut of guards with Delon and FVV's emergence.

CJ hasn't panned out, but hindsight is 20/20.

I agree it made sense, but both moves were made to stay under the tax. That was the main reason for the trade. Trade Cojo to get under the tax and sign Miles to the middle level exception

We move like a small market. I'm not even mad if MU signs Boucher to a long term cheap contract. I think that's what they'll do

You don't know ****. The rockets are getting one of those fake 2nd rounders. A top 55 protected pick.

The two teams did the exact same thing, different mechanics. I think the rockets actually saved more tax through the trade, thus they we're the cheaper team here. Nothing beats the cheapness of the bulls though.

Rockets under new owners are very cheap, see off-season, and they haven't released melo yet becausr they are hoping some team takes him to save another few mil in the tax. Raps at 34$ is mil in tax Houston 14ish mil in tax.

Checking his 2018 stats or watching any of his performances this year except for that one good game should answer that question.

It just goes to show how terrible the g-league is. Numbers down there mean nothing, it's just a place to send rookies or scrubs so they can stay in shape and get their confidence up.

Brown needs to make his way to China ASAP if he wants to set up his retirement. It's not going to happen for him in the NBA.

So much disrespect. This man single-handedly won us the December 19th game vs Indiana, had 3 big rebounds and was +8 in a 3 point win.

He also played 16 minutes in the B2B wins @ Clippers and Warriors, the Raptors' greatest achievement in franchise history.

His GLeague championship and MVP brought legitimacy to the 905, now all the biggest GLeague names will want to play in Mississauga.
