David Griffin is not that dumb though.


He may have gone for it when they were the 3rd seed but definitely not now after a 9 game losing streak and down to fighting for the play-in.


I actually think it's the opposite. He's probably more desperate now than he was when they were the 3rd seed.

I have feeling that Murphy, Dyson plus a pick deal was never on the table and never will be though. That's too good to be true.


Tbh, I don't even need that extra first. I'd like it, of course but I'd pull the trigger on Daniels and Murphy + salary for OG.

Definitely, I don't even need a pick with that return. That would be unbelievable. Add a lottery pick this year and we'd be right back in the playoff mix next year. That's how good of a deal that would be for this franchise.

We have a top 10 pg in Fred
We have a top 15 player in siakam
We have a top 10 young player in Barnes.

We have good young assets in Trent, og and precious.

On paper this is an excellent foundation to build upon. One does not simply blow this up.

Sadist or not, the screaming fan boys have it coming :lol:

Fred isn’t a Top 10 pg though

Remember when you said SGA was overrated, right before he became one of the best players in the league?

Im not sure youve thought this Fred being top 10 thing all the way through.

You’re telling me he’s better than at least 4 of these guys?

Kyrie
Steph
Luka
Harden
Trae
Haliburton
Garland
Fox
Dame
Morant
Brunson
Jrue
Cp3
SGA

Yes I remember asking the board last season if sga was just another empty scorer on a crappy team like Collin sexton was as I don’t watch okc — what’s your point?

There are definitely 4-5 people on this board that think Fred is better than Kyrie.

You were wrong on that, and you are wrong on this.

Admitting you dont watch OKC after all of that makes it even worse. How can you rank top 10 point guards when you dont watch the biggest stars play?

He’s better at winning basketball games than Brunson, dame, garland, Trae.

Equal to jrue and probably better than cp3 and harden at this point.

He’s so much better at winning basketball games that he’s lead us to the 6th worst record :lol:

Better than CP3 and Harden :lol:

To be fair, no one watches OKC.

A 2nd round celling & no playoffs bottom (looking possible). Wasting a top 15 in his prime surrounding him with youth and hard working lunch bucket starters playing above their ceilings on offense,

This is no mans land, similar to the Colangelo kool-aid years. A complete waste of a season and will be like this until moves are made to take the team in one direction or the other.


Demar and Lowry were considered no man’s land by this board for years too.

Building the culture and talent base is the plan bro.

Harden is in his last chubby legs. Look closely, he’s already falling off a cliff.

Definitely a reach to say current Fred is better than current harden. But give it another year and factor in salary. not yet, but soon!

That’s going to be a very expensive “foundation” to build upon when you gotta pay Fred, Pascal (super max), and Gary. That ship has sailed.

You take this and run for the hills lol.

David Griffin is not that dumb though.


Any package from NO for OG would have to include Devonte Graham as salary filler, which should mean additional compensation beyond whatever is coming for OG alone. So, Dyson, Murphy and a 1st might be enough to cover that all off. And, of course, a second body, eg Flynn or Hernangomez, would have to go back to create the 3rd roster spot needed.

Raptors are building a lottery team but this team is it.

Demar and Kyle never missed the playoffs.

Return to Toronto Raptors
