Aaron Gordon is the guy I want out there with Pascal somehow, but on the wings. Both of them could play the 3/4 spot. Ino neither of them are the knock down shooters but that can be addressed at the 1,2 and 5 spots.
I just wanna see Pascal and AG running the breaks and on the wings

The guy I would love Toronto to target is Nickeil Alexander-Walker. New Orleans has Jrue ahead of him, but this guy is going to be special. Still remember his SL performance.
Trading one of our amazing vets for contracts and NAW would be a good get.
Maybe they dump Favors and NAW for Ibaka and a second.

That'd be great, AG has alot of untapped potential imo.

Sign Joakim Noah already. We need another veteran big who can rebound and hussle on defense. He would be a big plus if one of our bigs go down.

Agree. We really need a back up C (especially if we are going with a potential Gasol, Ibaka, Pascal front court). Dewan is not ready yet, and Boucher is more of a forward IMO. Noah is still serviceable.

I agree, but he was probably the most impressive Magic player in the first round. He looked really good - I don’t see them trading him any time soon unless the package is amazing.

Yeah I think Noah just to warm the bench and play a few minutes here or there would be a useful pick up for us.

na, no point in signing Noah. Raptors all about contribution and development of their young players.
Raptors already have their starting 5 (whoever the SG is) + a coach who will play his young players.
we already complain that Boucher doesn't get enough PT (for whatever reason - and plus I still don't know if he's ready to be a full time player in the L)

Well that just it right? No one knows if Boucher is a ready to be a full time player. Sign Noah if he's willing to come in and play a very reduced role. That way if Boucher pans out, we play him and Noah knows what he signed up for and if Boucher doesn't work out then we have Noah in case of injuries/trades to Gasol or Ibaka.

We also have Sagaba and Dewan + small ball bigs in Rondae + Devin Robinson in the camp as well.
Raps don't need Noah and Noah doesn't need us (to play a small role).
Raptors lived with Monroe and Moreland during the year. With Ibaka and JV/Gasol. Raptors are fine in the bigs department. Raptors play small ball for most of the year anyways.

I literally came on hair to write the same thing about Aaron Gordon.
I think I think we can get him too.

I can’t wait for the death lineup that has Gasol, Sagaba, Spicy, OG and McCaw. Mix in some Dewan, Boucher, Serge, TD, Powell. This team is full of lengthy defenders. If for example Boucher and OG improve slightly and everyone else plays the same, that would put us in the top 4 in the east. Raptors could try to mimic the bench mob when they were an x-factor.

Aaron Gordon: 0% @ SF / 66% @ PF / 0% @ C
Pascal Siakam: 0% @ SF / 58% @ PF / 5% @ C
Explain this.

FVV + OG should do it

I don’t think Orlando would take that, one year of Fred is probably not worth it and they already have an extremely similar player to OG in Isaac

I think itd have to be something like Lowry, OG and some 1sts.
They replace DJ with Lowry, have OG play the 3, and have a team that fits way better positionally.
Lowry
Fournier / Ross
OG
Isaac
Vuc / Bamba
If they flip Bamba/Vuc for assets, that's a team I'd take notice.

No disrespect, but there's no way we trade Gordon for anyone not named Siakam. Vuc is the guy that could be had, because he doesn't mesh very well with the Gordon-Isaac tandem.
I wouldn't be surprised to see y'all go for young guys that are more likely to be traded, like Jaylen Brown

Pels are very high on NAW. I'm pretty certain they'd rather trade Jrue than NAW.

Favors and Ibaka are both expiring I believe. That's a wash IMO. You're trippin.
