[Shams] - Raptors Now Taking Calls for OG

[Tha Cynic]

If he can't handle Fred asking for the ball after a rebound wait until he hears how Chris Paul talks to his teammates.

Either way, no one's been traded yet. I assume if OG is the only one to go it was a careful decision made by management.

Huge difference between taking orders from a future hall of famer and the pointgod…..and Fred.

As the point I was making, if you don’t respect the pecking order you’re not going to be happy. Which with our pecking order is kinda fair.

If he thinks he deserves the ball more than Fred or Pascal or Scottie he had ample opportunity to show it.

Some of you keep saying this but all we have ever played is FVV/Siakam ball. Not sure we can say anyone has really "had ample opportunity" with that system. Essentially you have to turn into a selfish player to get anything in that style.

He is.

Kd rumours showed who he was. Even phx fans called him a clown. Guy is useless spinning nonsense narrative

Just like Josh said, we aren't shopping, we are taking calls. He says the opposite.

The truth is in the middle.

[dagger]

If this was just the strategy would you even need a GM? I feel like all the Gen Zs on here could manage the raptors if that was the case

Dw, we wont be tanking.

It is such a cowardly strategy. Masai won't go that low

Throwing the towel in on the season - yes. Prolonged sixers-type tank - no

You're right. Everything about Masai and how he does business, the ownership group and their needs, high ticket prices, etc. says this team is NOT going into that kind of prolonged tank from which some organization seem never to emerge intact. Besides, I don't think Scottie Barnes is going to hang around for 4-5 badly losing seasons after playing two seasons with a group of adults that knows how to win, even if this season has disappointed. People don't seem to remember that even in the Tampa season, Masai didn't take a bad offer for Kyle but was content to take the risk he would walk. But he had a pretty good idea Kyle would want a sign and trade to get top dollar. I don't see why Fred or Trent are any different. Fred in particular will want those bigger increases and extra year that either the Raptors give him, or that require a sign and trade. People should have some f@@king patience.

Are you sure about that ? We're the 12th seed right now lol.

“Cowardly” lol

So was Masai a coward in 2021?

That was just a confluence of COVID, Tampa, injury situation they took advantage of.

The Tampa team had a terrible record. This team has a terrible record, this team should have less excuses than the Tampa/Covid team. The current record is actually more embarrassing, they suck without even tanking. Masai should take advantage of their current lottery position as well. Only 30 games left in the season and they're not going anywhere.

Same people that were saying "Told you we should have traded Scottie for KD" in December.

+4 1sts for taking on Shamet and his uggo contract.



Still prefer Fred to LAC.

Not terrible. It would make more sense to trade Anunoby for Johnson/Crowder and 3 1st round picks though. No reason to include VanVleet for one addition 1st round pick and also take on Shamet.

This is how you get sources, tho. If I'm working with the suns, I want reporters saying this if I'm interested in trading for OG

Nwora makes this interesting, but you'll have to move 2 more guys from our roster as we only have 1 open spot. I can't see any readjustment that works if you're committed to that package from Milwaukee. However, if you replace Hill, Nwora and Serge with Grayson Allen, it works just fine. The Bucks could keep the 2nd in that scenario.

Marion Beauchamp is the only dude i want on the Bucks who isn't Greek/Nigerian.

He has none and this doesnt even help. He's not devaluing OG with these stupid tweets if thats his intent for a trade negatiation lol

i think we can just waive Grant Hill and Bo Cruz. I don't the Bucks give up Allen.

When was the last time the Raptors actually traded a guy who was rumoured to be traded at the deadline so much?

I almost feel like Masai gets annoyed by leaks and pulls back deals when they leak.
