RJ has shot 41% from the corners and 35% overall (with TOR). Williams shoots 43% from the corners and 39% overall.

Williams highest volume area is the right side ATB 3 and he shoots 39.2% for his career there. AKA; the exact same as his overall percentage.


Williams has taken 30% or more of his shots from the corners in every season but 2025. Took 39%+ for his first three seasons. He shot 34.6% from above the break this season.

Last year, he did well, 38% on 2.0 per game. 43.8% on 1.1 from the corner (primarily the right corner). The year before, similar: 38% from ATB on 2 per game, 46% from the corner (over 54% from the left corner).

He's decent ATB but his greatest value is still corner 3pt shooting. And RJ has shot 40.9% and 40.0% from the corner over the past two seasons, taking them on 35 and 23% of his total volume. With Toronto in particular, 41.3% on 25.6% of his 3s.

Nothing I said was wrong.

If Sidery is listing 5 teams still at this stage of the game, he has ZERO insight.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

sidery never has insight, he just regurgitates information from other places.

After hearing him mention the Raptors were offering all of IQ + RJ + Poeltl + 9th pick, this guy is dead to me. Knowing the basics if a trade is even possible should be tbe minimum required for your job lol.

He's a radio host. He's just as bad as any radio host in Toronto. Maybe he hears things but 99% clueless.

The rumour of KD to Houston is coming from a few different accounts.

In his defence, he called that trade absurd and said the raptors would be crazy to do that.

Gambo has been leaking stuff since Ishbia got on board. He's their Grange (but if Grange had an inside track to Masai regularly)

My guess is Grange is used by our front office and sometimes our front office will lead him astray

Since theyre employed by the same people, it would make sense to strategically give Grange the information you want out there.

So a team trading 3 of their starters + a top 10 lottery pick for a 37 year old with 1 year left on his contract requires someone to say its an absurd idea eh.

My point was that if you cover/tweet about trades so often, just know whats even legal lol.

That one random twitter account that has been cited a lot this year is saying Minny is getting him today or tomorrow

So Rudy/Donte/Rob/17 for KD and 29 maybe

I think it’s always been Houston’s to lose. They’ll reroute Gerald Green to a 3rd team.

As long as it's not us deluding ourselves into signing a free agent in 2026 after renting KD, I'm good with whoever else trades for Durant.

Suns waited all this time for this junk of an offer.

LOL

Rockets got rid of Green’s contract. Only had to give up a role player in Brooks + #10 for KD.

I’m curious how serious our interest was given that even a package of RJ IQ and 9th is better than that
