The defense is so bad that he gets hunted every moment he's out there. Fournier is not the move to make.

There is no way I do that trade without draft compensation.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Also he's just so bad in the playoffs with a TS of 49%. He's not a playoff rotation player in this league.

Mostly agree with this but he was being asked to be much more on the Magic than he would be with us. Still don’t want.

He'll be 24 when that happens, elite 3&D wing still with room to improve. I can already see that bidding war. (Lakers only have Davis and THT on the contract for that summer). Lucky for us, this Raptors group is now rolling, I think there is a chance that he decides to stay. If we move him to the bench, we can basically kiss that chance goodbye.


Extend him this summer for $100 million over 4 years with a player option 4th year?


You can't extend a contract until the 2nd anniversary it was signed (at the earliest). I think we see how he plays next year and then offer him a fair deal. Based on what Gary Trent Sr. said on that Sportsnet interview it sounds like GTJ would probably stay in Toronto if the money is fair - just like Fred did.


I agree with that thinking too, while it is a big chance to take. If he leaves for nothing, that would be very tough.

Why Can't OG play SG? I think if we grabbed Turner the Lineup would be

FVV
OG
Barnes
Siakam
Turner

6th Man Trent Jr

Thats how i would run it anyways...OG is a good enough 3 point shooter and a defender to play the SG position

Taking Trent out of the starting 5 is a terrible idea.

Trent spaces the floor way more than OG. OG's 3pt% is solid but he's by no means a shooter that defenses fear and will scramble heavily to close out at the 3pt line.

He's also too slow laterally to defend the 2 spot effectively. He'd get picked apart by the top tier SGs in the league both on and off the ball

If we added a legit 5 and put him into the starting lineup, the only option is benching Barnes to create that space.

OG is not too slow to guard SG’s. And on the offensive end he would destroy SG’s in the post.

I don't think we need to add any more bigs, need 1 good perimeter scorer off the bench.

My list would be either Eric Gordon, Gary Harris, Josh Hart, or Dinwiddie (kind of having an off year and a bit too expensive). Package Dragic and Flynn and at most a 2nd round pick and try to get anyone of them.

Addition by subtraction? There's a reason why Washington has cratered and I can wonder why they're moving on from Dinwiddie.

Yeah, trying to get us to take Porzingis in return. I guess sometimes you just have to throw up a hail mary and see if it works.

You just know there will be a report tomorrow that Harden is interested in playing for the Pistons, Thunder or Spurs next season.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

My dream.

Dragic for Dinwiddie straight up. Wizards commit to tank and buyout Dragic

Boucher and a second rounder for Dante Divincenzo. Promising young guy and we can resign for team friendly deal.

Lotto protected future first for Jalen Smith

Three small trades adds huge amount of real depth without losing any of the core. Jalen was literally a lottery pick like 2 years ago and played well. That first also impowers the Suns to make a bigger trade

We keep our 22 first to add depth through the draft this year.

Edit: actually Jalen is an UFA this year right? Idk about the FRP now…
