Take your own medicine. Don't respond if you can't get into it

I explained myself already. Do you really think New York and Toronto swapped records with that trade, or where there other contributing factors?

RJ would still be drafted ahead of OG in a re-draft, and that's why you don't look at 3&D players in the top 10.

You keep digging yourself lol and still confused.

I said one of the reasons why NY and Toronto went the other way was swapping OG for RJ - they have opposite records which I showed you. OG impacts winning - RJ does not. Again, I am comparing value of players, I don't know why you keep using RJ in a re-draft statement - I am talking about players today. OG is more valuable than RJ in every way. There's not one team that would take RJ over him. Why do you think TOR targeted IQ in that trade?

Raptors were the 3rd most injured team this past season behind only the 76er's and the Pels......yes I'm sure it's the RJ and OG swap. Making OG #1 option for 1/4 of the season would have won us more games.....lol

I’d be cool with that for sure. Getting two 6’8/9 3D guys is just as valuable as one 7’2” raw center in Maluach. Not that high on Rasheer though he seems pretty tunnel vision but hope he reigns it in at nba level.

Maluach on Houston would be flipping scary FFS. I have no doubts Masai takes him tho, that's his young boy

If its between Maluach and Queen its very possible we take Queen....Masai scouted him 3 times and one of the games Masai scouted Queen did this...

Watch on YouTube

Plus he shares the same agency as multiple players on our team and prolly will have Barnes vouching for him....While also fitting Darkos style of play to a T i would not be shocked if Masai goes that direction.

Well my case for Maluach would be that Masai has been aware of him since 15 in BAL and the African academy and he also drafted chomche who they played together in the past over in Africa as well. Ingram is a klutch client like Khaman as well

I like Queen tho, I'd be happy with either big. With Maluach our team can learn defense which I think is better for us than taking Queen and leaning more offense.

Philon and either Bryant or Yaxel would be two additions that could help shape our team.

Why do you like Bryant over Maluach?

I think Bryant could be an immediate fit on our bench but Mogbo, Dick, Walter, Barnes, Ingram, Barrett, and Agbaji all need minutes at the 3 and 4.

Maluach would be an immediate fit that can be a lob threat and has a decently high floor. We could have 48 minutes of great C play for years to come. That's something we badly need on the Raptors.

Unless the team trades down for multiple picks not sure how we would have Bryant on the board.

Adding 3 rookies this year..not sure where the minutes are coming from.

Agbaji is expiring, we have a ton of salary tied up in our starting 5, and we need cheap depth.

Getting a Brooklyn pick should be easy.

Maluach/Queen, Bryant/Traore, and Thiero/Byrd.

Why would Brooklyn trade draft picks when they are neck deep in a rebuild.

Exactly! Ochai is to be sacrificed.

They might want a win now player to build culture and Ochai is very good

Always trying to trade our best 3+D guy. Makes no sense to me.

Post #659 » by **Duffman100** » Wed May 7, 2025 2:51 pm

Weird, why did I believe Fleming was 22? In my head that was the reason we weren't seeing him in the lottery.

Feels like a no brainer lottery pick to me.

I'll just going to say that some very interesting shelton logic and leave it at that..

Trading draft picks for a possible starter level player when you don't have a player to build around it...
