I can't see Lavine mixing with the group of guys we have.

It's more than style of play and numbers.

No to Lavine. What position is he going to play for us? SF? We have Franz. SG? Suggs and Harris are just fine

If I were making a trade, i'd take a look at Mikal Bridges or DeMar DeRozen

Is Jingles really our only real Backup 3? Blacl and Jett might have the height bit they arent ready yet.

I think we need to trade for a 6'7 wing defender xuz Jingles hasnt shown much yet.

Isn't Okeke supposed to be a 3&D guy? I know he's not really good at 3's or defending but maybe this is his year.

I am waiting to see how this season goes for Milwaukee Bucks. I am waiting to see if Damian Lillard experiment plus a lower used Middleton can win MIL a Championship. Also what I am waiting to see is Giannis' patience with the team. Lots could happen. Even winning cures all, but losing hurts the most!

Another team I am looking at is LA Lakers. What if this season fails another chance of winning an NBA Championship. LeBron is 38 this year. Will they start a rebuild if they failed? Could we trade for Anthony Davis? Lots of possibilities. Kinda wild but worth waiting to see

So Toronto might be terrible!

Do they have anything we might want?

Siakam isn't really a fit since he can't reasonably play center and we already have a 3 and a 4, but maybe Anunoby?

So is there any more steam on the Trade Suggs bandwagon?

What a flawed player. His low IQ lead to another chaotic zero-not-a-hero moment. Should've never been in the game.

There couldn’t be any less steam.

This is an idiotic take. He was the whole reason we had the last possession.

I'm gonna choose not to be offended but let me know if that was an intentional personal attack or not so I can really know how you feel.

Suggs is such a let down and full of fake hopes.

If OGs shots aremt falling in, he is useless. We put him in th bench as a backup 3? If so... yeah im ok with that

Complaining about Low IQ but making what feels like 20 trade suggestions for Kelly Oubre over the years somehow doesn't add up.
With Suggs it is usually not even low iq plays but simply hyperactivity or just playing too fast.

OG is a defensive beast and hits 3’s…just not sure where he’d fit here. Not sure he’s a 2 and a little pause about his alleged complaining about his role in the offense- which wouldn’t change here.

I’m not a fan of TOR’s roster (for us)

i hope Suggs turns around before the end of the year. But i agree, he doesnt look like the player I expected, even with a slow start to his career.

He's hyper because he doesn't understand how to play. Not understanding what the defense is doing, what his teammates are doing and what he needs to do. So it ends up chaotic and out of control. He wanted a hero moment but he lost us the game. He's one of the last players on the team that should be taking game winners. Mobley shouldn't have even had him in the game.

...and Oubre is still better than Fournier, Hezonja, Elfrid, and cap filler players. Been about 5 years since I brought him up. Nice recollection!

This team needs a high volume, high efficiency 3 point shooter in the worst way.

Horrendous take for so many reasons. First if he isn’t in the game we likely don’t get the rebound and extra shot. But more importantly, how could any fan of this team over the past 10 years look at the effort he gave all game and emotions afterwards and not absolutely be in love.

This is the problem. The "Good game, nice effort" mentality wreaks and gets adored way too often. Bottom line he shot 4-12 and while Gary Harris shot 6-6 and 5-5 from 3. I blame Mosley more than Suggs tbh. I would NEVER have the ball in Suggs hand in the end of the game. He's a chaotic, poor ball handling, out of control type of player who will wing it and try his luck. His chaos normally works on defense, but yesterday he had 1 steal. Big whoop. He hurt the team more than he helped.
