Listening to the Athletic nba podcast he says very briefly that the Raptors have called regarding the number 4 pick.

No doubt but it being the offseason and how desperate people appear to be for changes, I thought I’d throw this out there.

Gotta wonder if Dick is on their mind if they’re thinking of a four play here?

Masai probably offering 13 + Young to move up. It’s only 9 spots.

Cam Whitmore or Amen Thompson would be the guy there. Both not the best fits. We have wings out the ass already and a nonshooting guard would be the last thing we need. Only other guard I'd want is Kobe but that's a bit high for him. You don't have to trade to 4 for him.

You're reaching if you're going off the board there. I would only trade up for Scoot and Miller. If both are gone I wouldn't bother. The player crop from 4-13 is pretty much in the same tier imo. All decent but flawed prospects.

But who knows with this front office anymore.

Scoot at #4??

Is Amen Thompson an actual PG? I struggle to see him as PG as opposed to just a wing creator.

I mean, a call is just a call, and the FO should be doing whatever they can in the present regardless of what happened in the past, but...

if there's someone we like that much at 4, it kind of makes the win-now move at the trade deadline even worse.

can't imagine Scoot lasting till #4. Possibly Miller, likely Amen, maybe Black/Ausar/Whitmore?

Eventually, he will call about the 13th pick

If Houston is adding Jalen Green into the mix, I'd definitely be listening. But yeah, I don't think it's worth giving up Siakam just for the 4th pick and their lesser young talent.

OG for the 4th pick and a future 1st that someone linked from a tweet in another thread? sure.

He will call about the 20th pick + some veteran leadership

Alperen Shengooon is the one to go for. Forget about Jalen Green.

Maybe Masai is trying to replicate the Sedins draft and get both the Thompsons to pair with Scottie

I'd be really surprised if Scoot made it to #4

Maybe them calling about #4 signals to Portland at #3 that they aren't willing to accept a lesser offer. Who the heck knows with the FO

I wouldn't mind him either, but that would make the Poeltl trade deadline deal even more short-sighted and dumber than ever.
