Trade Deadline Rumours & Discussion Thread III (Thurs Feb 9 3pm)

Second youngest player EVER aside from Lebron to go 40+ 2 games in a row

Are any of yall even watching the game rn?

So... third youngest player ever. Just say that. He ain't LeBron.

What is his ppg avg this season?

He probably watched the last 2 games. Cam Thomas is Jordan now Lmao.

Let’s forget all the other games he played or all the Dnps he’s collected because he doesn’t pass at all.

[Yallbecrazy]

OT question yall,

if a potential And-1 shot is blocked, does it count as a block?

no

[Bruin]

Well I guess Cam Thomas is playing himself out of being involved in trades

[Kingsway_fan]

Ben in freezing cold toronto... lol he'll no.. don't trade for him... even for Birch

[bboyskinnylegs]

I love the part where the league is worried about the return in the Royce O'Neale trade

If he can make 'em...he doesn't need to pass.

No one thinks he is jordan

But I, for one am tired of watchin the garbage offence the Raptors been putting out.

A potential young scorer like him as a throw in to Claxton is very very intruiging

It'd be hard for him to leave the tropical paradise that is NYC.

[Tha Cynic]

One of our biggest problems is that we can't score.

Dude is putting up 40 a game and you don't want?

Ross got 51 once, Thomas isn't that good and trading for him now is buying high on a guy that's an underdog to ever be an average SG in this league.

You do realize...this is Cam's 2ND 40+ point game IN A ROW, right? Stop with the Terence Ross comparisons until you have seen him play.

Terence Ross would have gone 0-15 the game after scoring 51. LOL

He's basically Dion Waiters lol. Let's not get carried away.

O.G. (Aside from Scottie) is the last person I’d want to trade.
- He’s still young at 25. Can fit almost championship timeline for the next 8 years. Great fit with a young team.
- Has a very cheap contract. Heck, it was considered cheap when he first signed the deal before the crazy recent salary inflation in the NBA.
-Amazing defensive versatility, especially on the wing, which is the most dynamic and difficult to guard.
-Ridiculous offensive versatility in terms of slotting into any position aside from C. Very valuable for a coach to have a guy who can mesh with any unit.

His youth is my biggest reason. A young growing core of -
PG: Trent
SG: Anunoby
SF: Barnes
PF: Achiuwa
C: Koloko
- seems so interesting to me.

All these guys want to be happy is to get the minutes, get the touches, get the opportunity to shine and show their worth. This can’t be done when Fred and Pascal are running on fumes playing 48 minutes/night.

Make everyone happy and trade both Pascal/Fred instead of O.G./Trent.

I don’t want to make this about trade ideas. More so to put out there in the ether that I am vehemently against trading O.G., and would prefer we went with a youth movement.

Mind you we could probably get a young star if we package Fred+Pascal in a deal. But just imagine if both guys were simply gone from the team, and were replaced by serviceable role players. This young core could probably win just as many games this season. And it would have been so much more fun to watch.

Use Trent as more of an off ball combo guard, while Scottie becomes the primary facilitator.
Because of Precious’ size I’d prefer him to be an agile, explosive PF who can shoot the occasional 3.
And O.G. can be O.G.

Obviously not a contender, but that’s a core that could win a playoff round in 2-3 years.
Not to mention if we add a top 10 player via FA or trade when the time is right.

Just a few months ago this board didn’t even want to trade O.G. For Durant, and now they want him gone for 3 1st round picks that probably won’t even amount to what he brings. I don’t get it..

Drummond would be another decent buy-low guy that's out there. Good game tonight for the Bulls

Dion Waiters only ever scored 33 at most. Get your comps straight.

Hes 21 years old and can use some ....guidance and offensive discipline

He's fine as a potential bench scorer. Anyone who can drop back to back 40 pt games at 21 years old is interesting.

The answer isn’t cam Thomas man. He also doesn’t play defence. I’m happy he’s making shots but he will never play a meaningful game in this league until he defends or passes the ball.

This guy refused to pass the ball to Kevin durant earlier this season and got benched.

Look...if he ain't 6'8 with a 7 foot wingspan...they ain't interested.

Once again...next to last in half-court offence and fg%...and all people talk about are getting guys who can't shoot and score.

I'd rather watch Cam getting buckets than Dalano Banton bricking 3s

This era's version of Dion Waiters. Guys like this have flashy games but end up hurting the team in the long run. There are tons of these guys around the league now that everyone can shoot except the Raptors.

I can't believe we're even having this conversation lol

I think Cam's just a little bit better than Dion. But hey...agree to disagree, right?

I hope these convos die down when he drops 15 on 5/17 next game lol

[C_Money]

Yeah all of our positive defenders are doing such a great job. We’re 20th in defence lol.

Give me scorers like Cam Thomas.

Waiters came into the league in 2012. If he came into the league now, he'd put up some 40 point games now too.
