Trade Deadline Rumours & Discussion Thread

I'd love to add Quickley +picks for Trent. Easy yes from me.

I like it for both teams. Quickley can play and has another year of control before extension

Need another 1-2 picks to sweeten it

Trent is an expiring and will make atleast 18M. Quickly will make 2M next year and then be an RFA.
Why the Knicks adding picks in this situation?

There needs to be fillers to match. Dont see why they wouldn't add 1 since Trent is the better player. they got Dallas 2023 pick as well.

Grimes is the real prize on the Knicks. 6'5, 6'9 wingspan, already a quality defender, shooting splits of 46/37/79.

He’s your typical unathletic 3 and D guard. Quickley on the other hand is a guy who can create his own shot which is something we are desperately missing.

I'd rather have an efficient 3 and D guard than an inefficient shot creator.

When your entire roster is full of those guys, where are the easy buckets coming from? Our offence is a struggle for the entire 48 minutes (unless we’re in the fast break) because we’re loaded with guys who can’t beat their man off the dribble.

what is difference between Grimes and GTJR?

Shooting.

Shot creation.

Size.

No particular order.

Best landing spots for O.G. Anunoby

https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/nba/news/og-anunoby-raptors-trade-destinations-knicks-suns/y4d164ssn43cmmu56gdomr8n

Memphis Grizzlies
Best offer: Dillon Brooks, Ziaire Williams, draft picks
Why the Raptors do it: With the Grizzlies ready to take a leap, Toronto ships Anunoby to Memphis and snags a Canada native in Brooks as well as a former first-round pick in Williams. The Raptors also get multiple first-rounders.
Why the Raptors don't do it: Brooks would provide a perimeter scoring punch, but he's not a franchise cornerstone. Additionally, betting on Williams to reach his potential is a big gamble.

New York Knicks
Best offer: Evan Fournier, Miles McBride, draft picks
Why the Raptors do it: New York showed interest in Mitchell during the 2022 offseason, but the Knicks never pulled the trigger on a deal. The Raptors take the picks that the Jazz turned down, and they add a veteran and youngster to the roster.
Why the Raptors don't do it: Similar to the Utah situation, the big question is whether New York would be willing to include the picks that the Raptors want.

Dallas Mavericks
Best offer: Josh Green, Christian Wood, draft picks
Why the Raptors do it: Green is a young player on the rise and fills a need as a 44.4 percent 3-pointer shooter. The same goes for Wood, who has fit well in his offensive role next to Luka Doncic.
Why the Raptors don't do it: Green still has a long way to go in his development, and Wood will be a free agent this summer.

Phoenix Suns
Best offer: Jae Crowder, Cameron Johnson, draft picks
Why the Raptors do it: Crowder and Johnson have both shown that they can be part of a great rotation not only in the regular season, but also the playoffs. And if the Suns' season keeps going downhill, those picks may be more valuable than expected.
Why the Raptors don't do it: Crowder and Johnson are fine talents at forward, but they aren't elite. They will also be expecting new contracts soon.

The Phonix one is the only one I'd even consider. I think the Suns feel like they can get more for Crowder so let them make a diff deal for him. Add Saric instead who played well last game.

My heart cannot take another Thad type trade where we drop down or lose the FRP this year.

My heart cannot take another Thad type trade where we drop down or lose the FRP this year.

but think of the kind of veteran experience we'll be able to get! And remember, it's just trading down a few spots if we get a 2nd rounder in return.

Could have just signed Serge Ibaka this past summer as FA for 1.8M to be our Haslem

You tell me Scottie would talk back to Serge? Thad is soft

I wouldnt do any of these. OG too valuable for those kind of packages. If people want to get desperate and pay close to what Mitchell got, different story.

Especially that Knicks deal. Real gross.

Trent is an expiring and will make atleast 18M. Quickly will make 2M next year and then be an RFA.
Why the Knicks adding picks in this situation?

Because Fournier is terrible and he makes 20M for the next couple years.

I wonder if the Knicks played Fournier a bit against us last game to showcase him to us. He doesn't usually play

Showcasing is definitely going on across the league. Less than a month till deadline.

Same reason we are playing Flynn right now

Nah he started getting minutes cause RJ's been out and Brunson was out for a game or 2. I think he's played himself back into the rotation since then.

Yea those OG trades are horrible
