Trade Deadline Discussion & Rumours (Thursday 3pm) - Raps and NBA

[StopitLeo]

The Lowry sign and trade is officially a disaster. We had to trade a friggin 1st round pick to get off Dragic and get a guy who hasn't played most of the year LOL

We got Precious and dropped about 10-12 spots in the draft, which could actually be better in terms of financial flexibility versus getting nothing.

Sure looks like a disaster.

What do you mean by financial flexibility? Do you just like to use terms without understand how it actually applies here? You realize we are over the cap and will have the MLE only regardless of this move lol.

Second round picks don’t have rookie scale contracts or guaranteed salary. Thanks though.

This is my thinking. With Eubanks and Precious, Birch seems redundant

I’d be surprised if Eubanks gets many minutes. He’s a 905 candidate if I’ve ever seen one.

If you deal Birch, he can easily slot into that spot.

TBH I haven’t seen him play but those starting numbers (I guess what Poeltl was out?) look decent.

If the Raptors are still interested in THT as Fischer says then I think a move for him could still happen with Boucher maybe?

I wonder if they will use Thad Young and his contract in a similar way to Dragic, in that they deal an expiring and get a player with a little more term back OR if they will be moving Birch for someone on a similar deal, but fits better on the roster.

deal involving Birch and Svi/Flynn makes sense here if we're trying to either bring in a C that has more years, or just clean up our books.

This is ban worthy.

NBA champion Jeremy Lin is available...just saying...

The trade is essentially: Half a season of Thad Young for a pick swap (late 1st for an early 2nd).

I can live with that. Goran was not an asset and anything Eubanks gives is gravy.

They're really going all in on the big lineups

[grimlock]

They're gonna waive Malachi
Use the trade exception to sign Bledsoe

Championship time baby

Lmao we are over the cap but have the full MLE. What financial flexibility does this add/change for the Raps?

Some of you homers are wild, finding new ways to justify a bad trade.

Based on the 20th pick, up to $2.7M in salary for year 1 and not needing to guarantee $2.8M in year 2. Any more questions?
