Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours - Raptors and NBA

[StopitLeo]

The more I'm looking at it and thinking, I think Gallo will be a Raptor.

We desperately need scoring off the bench and he can pretty much score with anyone off the bench, he has a connection with Masai during his Denver tenure as well. Good vet to have, Italian and all, familiar with the city. Not sure how it'll be long term but I wouldn't mind him.

I'm sure there will be another move or two.

Gallinari is also a better team defender than many think. I’m pretty sure Avery Bradley once commented about it.

[DatHomieYouHaTe]

I'll say it again...

If he cant play D, we are not trading for him

nah, got to get something for dragic cause we're not gonna have a lick of cap room if anything we'll have gallo's expiring for next year so we can do this all over again.

Why would Turner want to stay with a rebuild?

I think they are waiting for him to get healthy and maybe deal him in the summer.

[RapsFanInOhio]

yall gonna call me crazy but i rather get THT instead of Gallo lol

I actually agree with you, but only because he’s young. That contract is risky if he doesn’t improve.

[_MidNight_]

This team winning could be a huge hit to filling out the roster.

The feel good last few games will make Bobby and Masai run these guys into the ground.
We're one VanVleet hamstring injury from being in the lottery again.

It was pretty obvious we weren’t getting an All-star at the deadline.. why would we? You’re not moving Barnes to the bench ever, so we were only adding a bench piece with an expiring deal and we likely don’t want to give up our first in case things go south.

It’s absolutely the right call, too.

Makes sense. Turner is still young enough to rebuild with just like how we're rebuilt with Fred/Siakam.

Doesn't leave too many guys for us to target. Nurkic is the best out of the bunch but only if we can re-sign him to a reasonable extension.

does not matter how we play lol.. it's asset management and there aint much you can get for dragic.. you aint getting no 2 way player without giving up a pick and that's just a waste.... you can't let him just walk... best deal you will get is gallo

We're one VanVleet hamstring injury from being in the lottery again.

BOS and Brooklyn can easily jump in front even with a mini skid. Thats why giving up your FRP is dumb and Bobby pretty much admitted we arent.

Lolll yeah I was thinking we could just do this again next year with gallos 20 mill. Not the worst thing to have some bigger contracts as long as we're not a tax team.

Other than the VanVleet comment, this doesn’t even make sense. We’re clearly making a trade before the deadline.

Of course it does...not sure how you can even say that. Our whole team is predicated on it. In what world are we going to trade for a guy with a $20M ticket and cant play D lol

There's others guys not just Gallo.

It's easy to find players who are worth Dragic + 2 2nds, but it's not as easy to find players who are worth Dragic + their first. Mentions not doing it for Ross/Harris/Gordon.

Poeltl I can see, that's worth his first, I don't think they'll get him for a first, I doubt it, Nurkic can't play that sort of defense on the Raptors.

Bontemps: The coach is pretty clear to me he'd like to see other players on the team to play, maybe you split Dragic into 2 players, I don't see them getting a guy like Eric Gordon, maybe a guy on the younger side, who they can put in their developmental system, I don't think it's clear on who they could get.

Lowe: I'm going to predict they trade Dragic and 2 2nds into something.

They’re not rebuilding. They added two pretty good pieces with Haliburton and Hield, and they’re going to get Warren back at some point. This gives Turner an opportunity to get more touches, too, which is exactly what he wants. He’s not going anywhere.

I agree it would be dumb to give up our pick this year.
The fact that Bobby made mentioned of the team not doing anything major is what concerns me.

You're right... you're crazy.. THT sucks man lol

Still super young, I'd rather have him over Flynn lol.
