[Jake Fisher] The word surrounding OG Anunoby’s trade candidacy

[PhilBlackson]

I am having a weird feeling that Rudy Gobert is going to be traded for OG....Idk why but i just feel thats the move Masai wants...I think Masai is thinking about the defense a frontcourt of Barnes/Siakam/Gobert will look like...

I personally do not want Gobert and if we did make a deal with OG i would much rather grab a top pick in this draft along with bench depth but i just have a feeling Gobert is Masais target this offseason.

100% with you on this, the thought of trading OG + $20M more (so another starter) to match Rudy's salary makes me sick to my stomach.

if dyson is available at 7 and becomes SGA type (20,6,5) and portland gives a future pick, do you do it?

I would

Our fan base gets so defensive about rumors or people breaking stories and attack that persons credibility or his sources or w/e .....Alot of these reporters speak to people that are alot more closer to situations then we are on RealGm or people on twitter are....

They might have access to conversations around the front offices we as fans are unaware of....Does it mean every report is 100 percent fact no....But where there is smoke there is fire.....I remember countless times Raps fans attacking reporters over things that at the end of the day became facts...

Hell Raps fans even attacked Woj for saying Kawhi was headed for the Clippers months before it happened lol....When WOJ has legit sources behind the scenes not many people have....

So everyone needs to relax about this Jake guy....Hes prolly a good reporter and is getting his news from somewhere even if its not all the truth there is prolly some truth in it...

If OG goes i just hope Masai doesn't live to regret it in a few years.

Raps fans are nutty about this Jake guy, lol. Like why are they so offended when someone says they heard something about the raps? Or Its like Jakes access to info attacks their manhood or somthing, lol.

I remember listening to Jake on a Raps Twitter Space... rap fans were just pestering the guy, and he was constantly defending himself in a 'hey guys, I have no horse in this race.. I;m just telling you what I heard, and I heard that the Raps really really like Scottie Barnes at 4'. When he was off the space, he was laughed at... well, rest is history.

Slightly OT - but another tidbit I got from Jake at that time which seems to be under reported, especially now given his 6MOY status, was that Masai could have had Herro in the Lowry deal, but Masai chose Precious. Jakes exact line, which made me laugh at the time "Masai was offered Herro instead of Precious, and replied, "no, you are not my Hero" '. lol.

I remember listening to those twitter spaces. The cringe was off the charts. Toronto's bottom of the barrel people with a platform to talk about sports. They made Stephan A Smith look like a modern day mastermind in comparison. Who were those guys again? Need to listen for some laughs but laugh at them of course.

It's hard to make a Gobert trade work though. You'd have to include Siakam or 2 of VV+GTJ+OG just to make salary work - and the Raptors aren't trading that much for Gobert.

This comment is pretty ridiculous from Fischer. No GM is going to slam the phone down when an opposing team calls. It's their job to listen, to improve the team. But that's much different than saying the Raps are making OG available and actively looking to deal him which he's trying to peddle.

if dyson is available at 7 and becomes SGA type (20,6,5) and portland gives a future pick, do you do it?

I would

That would be the guy available since Sharp, Ivey and Bennedict would go before 7. If they believe he can have that upside you def would do that. OG is a solid role player but the upside of the deal makes sense for us

I think Portland will only beef up their offer from now until draft night. They need to add lotsmore than just 7. Maybe another team can get involved. Even if we think Dyson can become like a SGA, Masai will look to squeeze way more than just 7

If Dyson is there at 7 and we get a future pick, then the OG trade makes a lot of sense. Dyson has the potential to be a top 3 player in this draft (especially when his shooting comes along). That future pick could easily be another lottery pick if Portland has another down year.

I have a lot less of a problem in paying Rudy than I do in the fact that the $20m would actually need to consist of a good player like Gary or Fred, and suddenly our roster doesn't look that great.

sure if that's what Dyson turns into.

I would be surprised if they go in that direction. they would give up a combo of either OG/Gary/Fred and that's a lot of shooting going out the door. Yes the defense would be great, but can they score?

he just turned 19 and already has the skills that some guys can't get at 25. His creation and defensive ability are very good already. HE just needs to get his shot going.

Curious to see how draft night goes and how much POR bumps their offer, because they will

Dyson has such a mature game to him. I see Brandon Roy 2.0. His shot mechanics aren't broken by any means so there's no reason he can't become a knockdown shooter.

For the Bulls, there's believed to be mutual interest with Lonzo Ball on a four-year deal worth over $80 million. If the Pelicans do not renounce Ball, that agreement would have to come via an offer sheet, which New Orleans would have the option to match.

If a strong enough deal for Simmons never comes Philadelphia's way this season, there have been ongoing whispers about a free-agency sign-and-trade for Simmons that would allow Harden to join forces with Embiid, and rejoin Daryl Morey.

For now, Brooklyn stands atop the Eastern Conference, and moving Harden for Simmons makes little sense for Sean Marks’ braintrust, especially as Kyrie Irving remains inactive.

It’s so indicative of a sign-and-trade incoming,” one Western Conference executive told Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer. “Dragic appears likely to head to Toronto in such an agreement, which sources around the league expect to include Precious Achiuwa,” Fischer reported. “There is a belief among rival executives that both Dragic and Achiuwa could be rerouted elsewhere in subsequent trades.

Yes. There have been mistakes but he’s going by what he’s told which is obviously fluid and can change.

If Dragic was expected to be bought out - a trade could have come and changed that expectations.

I won’t comment on the OG post but to say he is just some one hit wonder with Barnes is simply false.

He’s not Woj or Shams but he definitely isn’t someone who has zero sources or credibility. He put his reputation on the line with Barnes and clearly isn’t just a one hit wonder.

I look forward to the vacuum cleaner references when he grabs a rebound...

Let’s say Dyson does replicate what Giddey did in his 1st year. Would you trade OG for that player?

[Jadoogar]

lol yea obviously if you can guarantee he becomes an SGA type. What if he becomes Derrick White or Evan Turner?

[Godaddycurse]

I dont understand this infatuation with dyson daniels. He works best with the ball in his hands. How is that a good fit with scottie and siakam?
