Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours - Raptors and NBA

[Asif16]

People acting like we've already acquired Turner. How about we leave that for when that actuall happens.

I'm still not sold we're getting Turner.

[Rodrickle]

Dont' love his 32% from 3, but yeah... Josh Hart is a workhorse, great defender, awesome on the boards, 4 assists a game?

Far from awful. He's immediately be our best bench player (not saying much I know)

Wouldn't waste a FRP on him. If we're going the route of adding another wing at that price, I'd be far more interested in Bogi (first) or maybe even HBarnes but Hart is so meh. I'd only really look at him if it costs a SRP or two.

Why do people think bogi is getting traded? Does atlanta need capspace?

Atlanta doesn't need to save money atm. I don't think some realize that Gallinari isn't fully guaranteed next year.

Can someone pull up the defensive metrics of Poeltl vs Turner

That will be a telling sign of who the Raptors will go after

[Asif16]

If Jalen Smith goes to the Spurs....Poetl expendable?

[ForeverTFC]

We should be on the phone with Portland offering that for Josh Hart.

Hart is pretty awful.

Lol no he's not

His shooting numbers have always been pretty awful. If we’re adding to the bench, wouldn’t we want a shot maker?

Young and Huerter extension kicks in next season. Then they have Hunter and Okongwu coming up for extensions soon. They'll be pushing the tax I believe. They have redundant pieces on their bench in Bogdanovic and Gallinari (or Capela) that would make sense for them to dump to be able to keep everything together.

FWIW.

That would make them fairly tough.

FWIW.

Why does Charlotte draft all these guys just to glue them to the bench?

They drafted Kai Jones, JT Thor and James Bouknight...and none of them figure into the rotation.

Their center position has a been a revolving door for years.

Just a badly managed/coached situation.

They're over the cap by basically Gallo's contract. Bogdanovic clears $18 mil more so if they clear both, they'd have that $18mil to work with for the offseason.
Actually nvmd. Forgot Huerter's extension kicks in, as well as others, which basically eats up that $18 mil. I dno, maybe they want to operate below the cap? Haha no clue.

Spurs should be all over that... Kinda disappointing for us cause Smith is one of the guys I was hoping we'd target on the cheap.

[DatHomieYouHaTe]

ahhhh I wanted us to get Jalen Smith...

Poeltl is a better defender but Turner can actually shoot free throws. My issue with Purtle is his terrible free throw %. Turner has been a great defender in the past hes been in DPOY conversations so he definitely has the ability. I think because of Sabonis taking rebounds it has taken a hit on what Turner has been doing defensively.

atl is the the simmons market/were in cj mccullum market.

they aren't looking to rebuild, tear down, they are looking to change the structure of the team around trey young. a consolidation trade.

I'm sure if the Raps cared enough they'd find a way to get in on it for a 2nd or something.

Get him the off-seeason when SAS can't offer him more than $4.6M.

Last year Turner was ranked # 2 for DPOY in March

All this talk about Turner not being a defender is complete BS!
