There are so many dysfunctional and directionless franchises.

I'm glad we're no longer one of them.

Goran and a first for Brogdon? Coming back from injury soon. Expires next year

I wonder if the Raptors ever considered a Fred plus Goran for Simmons swap (general framework anyway). I know the front office loves Fred but hey we traded Demar.

Thoughts on Eric Gordon as a combo guard to bolster the bench?

smh

The league is clearly divided into haves and have-not's, and we're talking about Front Office Savvy, here.

Haves
Toronto
Miami
Indy
Cavs
Chicago
Phoenix
GS
Dallas
SA
Memphis
Denver

Have-Nots
Sac
Portland
Lakers
Philly
Brooklyn
Wash
Knicks

Jury's out on Clippers, Minny, NO, Bucks, Celtics, Charlotte, Atlanta, Detroit, Orlando, Utah, and OKC (I mean, how many picks you gonna accumulate?)

Ballmer probably paid the Blazer's owner under the table.....that trade makes no sense

The Blazers owner is Paul Allen's sister and she's worth about 20 Billion. I think she's good . Still a weird ass trade though.

There's still a connection between Ballmer and the Allen family.....maybe it wasn't money under the table but an IOU later down the road. You help me now and I help you later type of deal. It's just too good of a deal for the Clippers

Brogdon can't even be traded until the offseason.

that trade saved/earned the blazers 20 mil cash, nothing under the table, just understand the cba

Brogdon can't be traded this year because of the extension he signed.

Depends on how much more it would cost than Dragic.

We made 3 deadline trades last year

Wow lol.

Don't be surprised if we end up with Myles Turner guys...I think we going to give up Goran/Boucher/1st/2nd for him thats just a feeling i am getting

they could've gotten a better return while accomplishing the same goal of saving money .....it's like they didn't even field offers from other teams

Zach Lowe and Tim Botemps talk about the Raptors for a few minutes on the Lowe Post's latest episode.

Tldr; Zach thinks the Raptors wont trade their first but will trade their 2nd rounder + Dragic for bench help.

Dont see it

Think we keep our firsts, get rid of dragic for peanuts and maybe find a reliable bench player
