[Perkins] - "Don't Sleep On Toronto For Giannis"

[Tor_Raps]

Perkins just said on First Take that he knows for a fact Giannis wants to stay in the East and don't sleep on Toronto. I hate Perkins except when he says something nice about my team lol.

ScoopB is rarely ever right UNTIL NOW lol

He's always wrong and hard to take, except for today where he is so obviously right.

If there was any hope before, it's now completely dead smh

#9, Dick, Poeltl, Barrett, Agbaji and 2027 1st pick

PG IQ - Shead
SG Ja'Kobe - Lawson/Rhoden
SF Ingram - Battle
PF Scottie - Mogbo - Chomche
C Giannis - #39 / Chomche

[ATLTimekeeper]

It feels good to be leverage again.

[TravisScott55]

Toronto is not much of a better situation for Giannis

[TheRealDeal]

When has Perkins ever been wrong? Start printing the jerseys

It starts with Scottie + #9 +++…

Spurs can easily beat any offer we put out tho.

The only way he comes here is if Giannis himself says to come here.

[Yeezus_]

Toronto is not much of a better situation for Giannis

Every situation is lightyears better than Milwaukee man.

I think depends how much we give.

If it's Barnes, the 9th pick and a couple future 1sts, it's not too bad because at least Giannis will have some good young players around him with upside.

Giannis has come out and said he'd prefer not to play C anymore. If a deal happens it'll be for Scottie + #9 + future picks

Spurs can offer up Castle, #2, #14, ATL's unprotected first in 2027 +++

Giannis has never played Center in the first place lol

Based on the criteria he's looking for from legit sources (Superstar teammate to ease burden and no state income tax), I would be surprised if he doesn't go to the Spurs especially when they have the ammo along with contracts (some combo of Vassell, Johnson, Barnes) to easily trade for him without affecting the team's chances of winning.

Spurs really just jumped the line right to the top imo. I always said they were a dark horse in terms of assets, but on-court, they were the ideal location for him. Now they have the prime assets too.

With our lotto fall, imo the only way we're in play for Giannis is if we work a 3 way trade with NO to return their picks back to MIL.

With Giannis name-dropping Scottie the other day, he likely only agrees to Toronto with Barnes still there (assuming he would ever agree to Toronto). He is not going to the Raptors to play with IQ and BI. He just went through many years of "good-when-actually-healthy-but-never-is" with Middleton, he's not hitching his wagon to that again (and I love the BI trade).

So it's entirely valid to propose non-Scottie trades, however light they may be. I also don't say that to avoid trading him, I would move him in a second for Giannis.

Scottie is a terrible match for Giannis.

Giannis wants to be on a contender at this point in his career, Giannis, Ingram and Quickley is not a contender

Ya and the Pelicans need a Center like Poeltl so it could easily work there.

The Bucks would have to take less to accommodate Giannis and that's the only way he'd come to Toronto tbh.

It doesn't make sense for the Spurs to offer this much for Giannis. They could be set for the next decade by just keeping Castle and Harper next to Wemby.
