Shams: Raps one of teams to pursue Anthony Davis

[ash_k]

Bobby aint breaking this team's chemistry that could have been 27-11 right now for Mr Glass, let's be honest.
All those trade rumors, a Jay Huff would be sufficient to share time with Yak.

Then let's see how we "playoffs" with this roster.
Though I would like IQ traded, team chemistry is too strong to trade him. However I fear his value might take a fatal hit during the playoffs

[SFour]

I'd rather just keep RJ....he's also only 25 years old while AD is 32

[LBJKB24MJ23]

If Dallas couldn't get a first round pick back when sending out Luka...don't be expecting any first round picks in exchange for AD.

Lewenberg is a door knob if he thinks that is start of trade talks.

Didn’t get they get like 2029 FRP for Luka?

Yea they did. People just enjoy talking out of their ass. And it’s widely agreed that Nico made a Bad trade so I don’t know why that would be the barometer for what AD would be traded for. A better example would be something like the Jimmy Butler or KD trade.

I’d be pretty amused to see the fallout of this forum like when Derozan got traded if this trade does go through.

The sad thing would be the RJ trade would only happen because they have handcuffed themselves financially, & couldn't get off other contracts. He would be the sacrificial lamb.......only to save money.

Zero benefit to the fans. Just Rogers not wanting to pay a good player because of bad roster management.

Trading for AD is not a move you make to save money...

No need to trade for AD for what it would cost. The problem is that teams will see Poeltl (and IQ) as a big negative and RJ as basically neutral filler, which means we have to give multiple 1sts for a player you dont want to give up that kind of future value for (AD/Ja/Lamelo..etc). That Poeltl extension is genuinely awful

I've warmed to the idea of it being a backdoor cap cleaning move if you think the FO wants to play it out this season and see how the experiment goes, then he's maybe traded in the offseason and you've got at least Jak off the books.

Either way, add the 2026th pick and the 2027 pick swap and I could live with it (don't mortgage the future down the line).

The Atlanta move signals that the Mavs would far rather have expirings, so the premium we pay with more picks plus a non-cmb prospect might be enough

[Sandman88]

Didn’t AD hurt his hand last game? I think the dream is dead guys

[Son Goku 25]

Lol damn well we may have dodged a bullet

[wayoftheroad]

Wondering if there is a way to be involved in a 3 way trade where we get Draymond as any Warrior trade for AD needs to have either Draymond or Jimmy.

[PushDaRock]

gg

[Son Goku 25]

This is a moment for Bobby to tell Yak he's better than AD.

[TheRaptor!]

GG, no trade for him for SURE

Shams just updating he is out for months with a thumb injury

At this point it just makes sense to keep Davis and semi tank rest of way
Come back next year with Davis Irving lively

Then flagg and lotto pick (high if lucky again)

[Garmfay]

[canada_dry]

Thats really what it is. Hes always and consistently grabbing at something. Multiple times a game. Damn near every game ive seen him play in his whole career.

[HumbleRen]

I know JLew has some connects at MLSE

Come on people. We do this every time. The Raptors beat reporters have no inside information. They only get spoon-fed stuff after the fact for damage control and rehabilitation articles (and those mainly go to Grange and Smith). Do you really think they're giving the "hot mic" reporter any insider info?

I mean that’s what I mean lmao, they get spoon fed stuff. I’m not saying they got a leak or rat in there, they just get used for PR reasons.

Neither do people like Siegel, but we have a 10 page thread going on with his rumors

[LoveMyRaps]

Lock this thread up!

We dodged a bullet
