This is the one I would stay furthest away from. Obviously he raises the ceiling the most out of the rumored players, but it doesn't mean anything when he's only available to raise the ceiling a third of the season. It's not like he's going to become more durable as he gets older, and it's not a small sample size - it's been his entire career that he's constantly injured. I will gladly pay Jak's full contract over paying double that for Day2Davis.

The only way I'd make the move for AD is simply to let him expire and free up the money. After that I'd only be offering him extensions on a 1 year basis.

has $58.5 contract for 26-27
player option $63 for 27-28

so essentially has 2 year 121 mil.
what if we give him 2 year 80 on top of that, basically 4 year 200 mil

rip up the player option year, new 3 year $141 contract

break down
26/27, $58.5
27/28, $50
28/29, $47
29/30, $44

difference between Jacob and davis contracts for those 4 years

26/27, $40
27/28, $22
28/29, $18
29/30, $16

Keep RJ, I'd rather give the Mavs this year's pick (lottery protected) or next years.

Moving off of Quickley and Poeltl's contact for AD is a win. I'm good with giving up a pick to be off those contracts. You pray AD is healthy for a playoff run and suddenly we have a chance to come out of the east this year.

If people hated the Hakeem trade they are going to absolutely hate a trade for AD and him grabbing his ankle every game and being injured 3 out of every 4 games they play. No medical staff can fix this issue which will be worse with age

I've mentioned this before but wouldn't surprise me if Bobby gets a lead guard and someone like AD. How will we pay them all? That's their problem lol

I hope this is just the Raptors doing Rich Paul a favor and driving up the price for Atlanta, although I can deal with IQ, Poeltl and a pick

You are a legend for chronically updating us on AD's Injury history :lol:. A healthy AD is worth the trade, but an unhealthy AD may set this franchise back a bit, especially if they offer him an extension.

Dallas and Kings not showing much interest, yes!

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Shams is just Rich Paul's mouthpiece, trying to make a deal happen, where Paul can pressure a team to re-up AD.

AD looking for that extension is feeling like Embiid's latest extension.

Probably. Pressure tactics to trying and get the Mavs and Raps/Hawks to buckle.

I really hope if Bobby does get AS its without promising an extension. I also hope all these reports are just trying to pressure Dallas to trade AD to Atlanta who has expiring contracts that are better than our contracts.

Any team acquiring AD has to have tacitly agreed to an extension.

Yeah, I wholeheartedly believe one of AD or Ja will be a part of the Raptors soon.



I’m hoping that these are all smokescreens and the real target is JJJ. He has his limitations but with the roster we have, he’s an excellent fit.
