We should trade GTJ back to Portland for #7 pick and oft-injured Nurkic S&T

I have heard Lillard likes him and Portland needs a proven, promising young guard with upside to replace McCollum .

[Clutch0z24]

People trying to throw GTJR in any conversation for a top 10 pick in the draft do not understand how front offices value picks....
In the past to get into the top 5 or 10 you have to give up a player that at least is an all star or close to it...

Ray Allen/Elton Brand (2001)/Jrue Holiday Only a few names i can think of off the the top of my head but im sure most teams with top 7 picks if traded want a better player then GTJR in return...

GTJR might be able to get us in the 13-17 range but thats about it

OG is the Prize for teams that have Lotto picks in that range because he has alot more potential to grow into an All star sooner rather then later...

If i am Masai i am doing a deal if i get Ben Mathurin here....I like Dyson Daniels as well and Sharp intrigues me but i really feel Mathurin could end up being the best player in the draft and become a young all star type player...I love OG but with Barnes/Siakam here slotted in at the 3/4 Slot on our team for the future OG is falling out of place here...

I think with Ben Mathurin added to our team it will balance us out alot more with another Elite 3 point shooter to add to GTJR/FVV and a guy who can score at all 3 levels with great athletic ability....Also in the NCAA tourny he had huge moments on the brightest stage.

Barnes/Mathurin also complement eachother alot more then Barnes/OG just for the roles they will play its a no brainer.

Watch on YouTube

The more i watch of the Kid the more i want him and OG is fair value...

It is just speculation at this point but this trade proposal looks good.

Really? How? That’s not Orlando’s pick we are getting. It’s Chicago’s.

And Bamba and Okeke just aren’t good players at this point in their career and are just 1 year younger than OG.

I think it’s a terrible trade proposal.

If you trade a guy like OG you have to get value back. There is no value coming back in this deal.

Is Masai doing his old buddy Weltman a favor? This is an awful trade

[KenoP13]

I don't understand this at all... Everyone wants to trade our top wing defender with a developing offensive game at 24 years old. I think the ceiling is pretty high on OG.. And everyone wants to throw that away.. For Mo Bamba? Or the 7th pick in this shaky draft?

I think trading Siakam makes a lot more sense. His ceiling is already set it.. He is not a Lebron, Embiid, Curry type of talent. If you can get picks and promising players.. You do it.. Otherwise we are on a treadmill while Barnes patiently waits for more opportunities.

This rumor does not help his trade value either.. It looks like he is the odd man out.

[Kingsway_fan]

Raps aren't trading OG... these posts are laughable

[manjusaka]

1. I see Chicago as a lottery team going forward.

2. Bamba can shoot and is freaking long, and still not reach his ceiling just like OG. If he signed the s&t his contract will probably has a longer term hence longer control. If the front office really do this trade, it will mean they believe Bamba’s potential, just like Achiuwa.

But again, this article is an speculation from the writer.

Trading Pascal actually makes the least amount of sense because he’s our best player who is just entering his prime and plays such an important role on this team. We know at the very least he’s a 2nd option on a championship team. You don’t trade him for players that you hope to be as good as Pascal because the reality is it’s highly unlikely none of those picks or young prospects become as good as him.

It would also send the wrong message to players like Scottie and our other young players and could end up losing Scottie as a result. Players ultimately want to win and trading our best player would set this team back years.

I honestly can’t recall a time where trading an ALL-NBA talent entering his prime worked out for the teams that traded them.

Wagner or gtfo. They can keep their pick

Bamba to make the salaries work.

Bleacher Report should be jailed for 20 years for fraud.

Raps aren't trading OG... these posts are laughable

Tbh if it were up to me i would rather shop Siakam but i think Masai values Siakam>>OG.....I think OG has another level he can get too but i feel with the way our team is constructed its hard to find a way to keep Siakam/OG along with developing Barnes as our Number 1 for the future....

Barnes is clearly the Raptors "Guy" for the next decade and Siakam is just an all around better player then OG is atm...The problem is they all play the same position and have the exact same style of play as well and not enough 3 point shooting between the 3 of them to have them play together....All 3 are capable 3 point shooters but none of them are Knock down 3 point shooters and with a team already lacking in that area its hard to have 3 of the 5 starters being average 3 point shooters at best who all do the same thing on the court when we have other areas we could be better at if we are willing to trade OG...

All 3 are really good defenders so if you lose 1 of the 3 you will not give up much considering again all 3 guard pretty much the same positions as well....

Its obvious what the team is lacking and its 3 point shooting, proper big men who can be enforcers in the paint and rebound/Block shots, And bench depth..

If OG can bring us an elite draft prospect (Mathurin/Sharp/Daniels) and elite role players (Simons/Hart) Or a C like Ayton to the lesser extent Gobert id be fine with moving him cause you would be filling in one of the needs that we are lacking to balance the roster out more...

So yes OG being traded is a huge possibility this offseason and isnt as far fetched as some will say

They saw how much of a reaction their initial baseless speculation about OG got, so hey, let's throw out some more baseless speculation!

[brownbobcat]

People trying to throw GTJR in any conversation for a top 10 pick in the draft do not understand how front offices value picks....
In the past to get into the top 5 or 10 you have to give up a player that at least is an all star or close to it...

Ray Allen/Elton Brand (2001)/Jrue Holiday Only a few names i can think of off the the top of my head but im sure most teams with top 7 picks if traded want a better player then GTJR in return...

I think that both sentiments can be accurate. Teams highly value lotto picks AND Anunoby is more valuable than the #7.
Teams are generally overconfident about their drafting prowess and the allure of the lotto pick is that you can find the next superstar. But even if you look back at OG's draft year, he's arguably top-5 and unquestionably top-10.

It's a lottery. The #7 could be a superstar and OG isn't. The only way you usually get decent picks in a trade is by trading for future 1sts - like how GSW got Wiggins and the #7 for DLo. I just can't see Masai doing that unless there's someone they think is the next Giannis.

[UnbelievablyRAW]

If we can find a way to get 13, Oubre and Bouknight for Gary I’d consider. Charlotte might want to extend Gary and we can get another rotation player with the 13. Also allows them to package Rozier for something else with a Hayward

[ATLTimekeeper]

Depends what you consider a superstar, but from what I can tell 7 to end of lottery is typically 1-2 all-stars per draft. There have been a few superstars (Kawhi and Giannis) taken right outside the lottery. But, it's more likely a player in that range would be a bust and it's still unlikely for a player in that range to become as good as OG is right now. I think the Raptors will hold, unless they've been told specifically that he wants out and won't re-sign here.

[OakleyDokely]

I need to create a website that just spits out nonsensical Raptors rumours 365 days a year. It would be as big as google.
