Siegel: Toronto trade intel

[Merit]

Read on Twitter

Having lived this, I’m gonna take a huge step back in my critique of IQ.

Also, please Ms. Muhammad, take on the full role of parenting with tons of external support from other people/family that your hubby can provide for financially. Let him rest and enjoy baby around his schedule. I’m certain this is happening, but it’s especially necessary as an athlete.

Performance aside, IQ - even if his current issues can be clearly explained - is the most likely to be traded for max salary for contract reasons alone.

His focus is def on his family. Cant blame him. Hard to balance both lifestyles in beginning. Havent lived thru that yet but thats what ppl tell me lol

I don't see a major trade happening.

Toronto cant trade IQ. He leads the team in threes and in assists and its not even close for either of them. His decision making maybe questionable but if we lose him the teams gonna be in big trouble. They aren't gonna trade him for an equal value player like say Malik Monk because it could have a negative impact on the great locker room chemistry this team has.

Poeltl is untradable. Might be the worst contract in the league right now. In order to match contracts with the stars like Davis, Sabonios, Morant etc. we need two of Poeltl, Barrett and Quickley if I'm not mistaken.

IMO, you are objectively wrong about Poeltl. Bigs come at a significant premium in this league. Lest you forget, his current contract extension was exclusively a Bobby move. IMO, he’s not going anywhere unless we also upgrade the C position. That’s tough to do outside of, say, Giannis. You are also wrong about IQ, in my opinion. We don’t need to have more shots from our PG; we need a PG who can defend the point of attack and create spacing as a 3-point threat.

I respect your opinion and undersdtand your point. Bigs are defenitely at a premium and someone with Poeltl's skillset just does not exist in todays NBA landscape which makes him very valueable. But nobody is trading for a player that has not been able to suit jup with back problems and a full 5 year contract its just not happening. He's gotta get healthy and prove hes healthy before anyone even entertains him in traded ideas and at that point its best just to keep him.

That’s fair. All I’m saying is that he’s been snakebit with awkward injuries. I disagree that he’s a bad contract. He’s at worst a neutral contract. In my opinion he’s a great contract.

We’re really missing him in our lineup.

Iq in particular is missing him in the lineup. I still feel IQ’s the first to go in any trade.

I mean yeah hes a good connective peice for sure bit he hasnt exactly proved he can play at that level still. This might be it for him, Im not saying it is but Im defenitely worried for him. I dont think you should really even play him more than 20 minutes a game. Treat him like a 35 year old vet for a bit until your sure hes fine. Or just sit him out for season because whatever he is dealing with doesnt seem to just be going away. Back spasms suck.

He hasn’t been healthy this season. When he’s healthy he excellent and very consistent. I trust that the raps brain trust know what they’re doing.

Now Bobby, if you’re reading this, please get us someone who improves our team. I’m tired of calling 5.

Towns disappears at times, but his rebounding and interior scoring would help this team a lot. Scottie is almost the ideal front court mate for someone like him. Maybe we can get him cheap.
