Thanks for your messages. I've read them all and appreciate the support and trust as always. It's why I do what I do.

Now I know y'all have been asking: "B, what's the scoop? What are you hearing?"

Well. A lot. I can't say much but expect a massive update within 12 hours. Is it a sure thing? Nope. Nothing is in this crazy world. But I feel good about this and my track record, to be frank, speaks for itself.

I'll just leave with this: It's Dame Time.


Your track record:

Tweet is almost 12 hours old... you know we already laughed at that saying the scout is probably from Miami lol.

Undervaluing Herro when the Heat made the finals without him. Got great production from undrafted guys to replace him. If we learned anything this past playoffs, its that undersized guards that can't play defense are not worth that much. Examples being D-Lo from the Lakers and Poole now on the Wizards. The teams best lineups were them on the bench in big games. Definitely a Miami guy lol.

From Toronto’s perspective, Pascal for Dame makes the most sense, because it puts Scottie in a better position surrounding him with a number of shooters, and moving out one large salary for another.

But if not Pascal, then OG and GTJ being the pieces moved makes sense, as players with long term salary need to be moved, and the team has potential fill in options for both: Precious for OG, and Dick for GTJ.

If the team is paying Dame supermax money, and Pascal at least max money, Yak $20M, Precious RFA this upcoming offseason and Barnes the following summer, they cannot afford to let a player on a rookie deal (Dick) go in that trade. Especially one the fills a glaring need on the team.

Ayton, OG and Thad to Portland
Nurkic and GTJ to Suns
Dame to Raps

And probably a pick from the Raps to the Blazers.


Trade the only all star and all nba player, easily the best player right now so Dame can play with younger guys? I don’t understand how that makes the most sense. Pairing him with another all nba player makes the most sense.


Too much overlap in Pascal and Barnes games. And a front court of Yak, Pascal and Scottie would be horrible for spacing. If this was the teams front court, Pascal’s 3pt shooting will need to improve.


Yes, I agree., it’s not a perfect roster construction. It’s just Siakam is a much better player now and fits Dames timeline more. I can’t imagine Lillard coming over to play with no all stars. I’d trade Scottie before trading Siakam.

The funny thing is we won a championship when OG was sidelined, so what does that say?

Goddamn it’s happening. Finally have a star on the team

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

It is makes no logical sense to take Miami completely off the board even if Miami claimed to have pulled out completely they should still list a price. That is bizarre unless the actually know he's going to Miami and want to keep collecting free money from people betting on the teams not getting him.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

It says we had a sophomore player who was unable to play, and fortunately we had a guy by the name of Kawhi who was eating up a lot of those SF minutes in the playoffs.
