Schultz: Raptors also shopping Jonas Valanciunas -- there is interest

[Sakkreth]

Does anybody even know what JV is doing now ? Is he even working out to get in shape for next season ? Or is back in his country just drinking beers with his friends.

Watch on YouTube

Runs his name basketball camp for kids.

Notable things that you might care about from the interview:

He will follow Raptor coaches training regime for the summer.
He had time to rest, up until recently, mentioned he likes to be in nature. During his rest days he still went to weight rooms and ran crosses.
Started working on his game this Monday(even tho it's still is his "free time" and not a part of Raptors summer plans for him).
So far working on his shooting and conditioning.

Other than that most of the interview was about the camp and trade rumors, which he said he doesn't know much about. Talks a little bit about being a father. Also declined all the rumors being involved in his former Lithuanian club Lietuvos Rytas.

I get he has his down time as most players do during the offseason and the coaches have a plan for him but show some initiative to get better. Look at Jaylen Brown.... The Celtics were knocked out of the ECF and the next day, he was back in the Celtics training facility grinding.

A front court of serge and gasol would make Carroll somewhat playable imo

Regarding the Memphis rumour, it seems like JaMychal Green may not be in their plans so potentially he could be had in a S&T for JV. I just don't get why they would have interest in JV though. They have limited options to fill out their roster and I can't imagine a back-up centre at that price would be of interest.

Grinding what??? So the guy says he's been working out on his time off and you say what now??? Comparing a kid that played half the minutes JV played, and you say what now??? Or did you quit reading at he will follow Raptor coaches training regime for the summer??? Say what now???

Alright, so the guy who mentioned the JV to Memphis rumor on the main board now says this. And i quote..

"Thanks, what I was told was indy wanted a first to take Joseph or for Toronto to take some salary back. Toronto didn't want salary unless perhaps they gained space by moving JV to Memphis which in turn could depend upon what ZBo did."

Still dont know what kind of deal we're talkin here. And whether or not the conversations have ended since the Pacers signed Collison instead of taking Joseph...

yeah that would be a crap deal if we did that
cojo is good enough to take on without a deal and under no circumstances should jv be dealt just to open up capspace. if no deals present themselves, it would be better to be buyout/waive carroll instead...otherwise pony up up the lux tax.

We should be dumping off the usual suspects for LMA. Pay the tax. We won't be in the tax forever. Far from it.
