None of those three are keeper players.

You need stars to win in this league. Anyone who wouldn’t trade any combo of those three players for a true star level guard is as usual valuing their own players to another degree.

It’s incredible post deflection to defend friends here.

Fred now is less valuable than OG despite Fred being the most important piece to many all season prior to his injury, now contract + age makes OG more valuable because of his D?

The lack of consistency in story just to defend narratives here is comical.

Go to the gen board, OKC, any non Raptor board and they would laugh at Fred/OG + Trent for Shai.

Everyone loves "potential" and I think highly of Shai too, but is he a "true star" level guard right now? Nope, no way. He's got flaws too and it's not a sure thing that he'll ever develop into a #1 option.

OG's just so valuable on that contract. He's back to being underrated. He's capable of being the best defender on the floor on any given night, who can guard 1-5, and he can chip in close to 20 points with a bunch of 3s. He's the prototypical modern NBA player and a key cog in the Raptors system. The Raps record without him in the lineup this year was pretty mediocre. Health has been an issue, but as soon as you deal him, you'd be looking to replace him and you won't be able to.

Fred's value isn't as high as OG because a) he's a free agent to be and b) he's a few years older. I cant believe these obvious factors need to be explained to you.

Hate to break it you but Shai isnt a star either. Maybe he gets there one day, but he isn't there now.
