You all tripping siakam Is going no where is our best player scottie sill not there yet
Also they can wait and see if more teams are interested in Pascal at all-star break.
It’s business.
I wish OG understood that 'he's not that guy' at least not yet. His ball handling is marginal at best, his posture when dribbling is too awkward and he simply doesn't have the floor sense or play making acumen to be a player to handle the ball more. I love OG but he needs to accept his limitations and play to his strengths, he's better at catch and shoot, he's a really good defender, but that's about it. Enjoy your role OG and be a part of a winning future!
We need to stop trading players that want to be here. It's a reputation we don't want to be known for especially if it's over money to play our loyal stars. Demar PR nightmare 2.0 all over again.
Guaranteed we get a good package back
Make the move
Trading Pascal for 2nd tier role players isn't worth it.
This franchise & fanbase is seriously overvaluing OG. He has no handle, & u can’t run the offense through him. He’ll never be a first or second option. He’s the perfect 3 & D player. He needs to learn to accept that role
Huge gamble if they get rid of Siakam. What if OG doesn't re-sign.
Trade PS! The culture needs a Reset! He needs to go after all the reports about him being unhappy with "younger" players. Optically it doesn't look good his buddy FVV left, his coach NN and trainer Hines both got canned by the management, it only makes sense PS leaves too. I love what PS has become from nowhere to an NBA Champion, ALL NBA dude, dominant numbers and so forth but his time maybe up in 6.
If pascal wants to stay, he'd take the nice deal for 3 years but not the max.
It's hard to speculate without knowing the offer. I would be very happy signing pascal, but if we can get a really nice return, that's obviously the way to go. I feel like OG, Pascal, and Scottie can co-exist. It's everything thing else that needs to be tweaked and developed. Excited for the shooting we got in the draft.
You guys need to realize what you got. A Siakam/Butler comparison would be a great example. No one can tell us that Butler is better than Siakam. Siakam has had better numbers overall than Butler for the last 4 years yet they see Butler as this “Superstar”. Y’all need to wake up before it’s too late and stop with all that trade talk seriously. Underrated as Pascal is as a Raptor (our players has always been underrated no matter who yet others teams always try to steal em’)wait till he leaves Toronto, then his true value will show.
Not every team with a superstar wins a championship. Y’all are playing for real.
Losing FVV left enough cap space to be able to sign both Pascal and O.G
OG falls too much to be honest…he always stumbles or charges…thats my only issue with the ball in his hands more.
Please get rid of Masai and Bobby. Their god like status is unwarranted….
Front office should be a step ahead and be able to predict what could potentially happen if they don’t trade players at the trading deadline after the all star break especially earlier this year, otherwise give them bags and move on. It sure was a total missed opportunity 5 months ago with the FVV situation going wrong and now PS & OG head scratching scenario. This front office needs to get this timing right and decide, at minimum we should receive 6 future first round picks plus some added young talented players if traded at the right moment. They should be aware, they’re the ones in touch with the players, their agent plus they understand the business side of these players. Sure hope we do get a better return if they decide to leave. Go Raptors!!!
So we didn’t make playoffs with Pascal so let’s keep him give him the max 😂
Siakam is a choke master…no show in the 4th.
Siakam is just better than og and scotty straight up. You dont know if scotty will even blossom and og has weak handles
Why does everyone worry about next years draft pick? Masai said we can always get picks back in a trade. Trade Pascal to Kings or Okc get back Keegan Murray or Chet and other players plus 2frps.
OG cannot dribble. Scottie Barnes is not a point guard especially on defence.
What a disaster… were getting bag of chhips for 2 all-nba players in one off season. 😅
What are we even talking about? Trade OG today!!
Getting rid of Siakam is not necessary for giving OG more touches. We have FVV's usage to slot to him and allow Scottie to run point or point forward.
Give him the bag
Lou Dort is nice though.
Imagine pascal with a supermax contract he will very hard to trade 50 million of salaries to match. Just trade him already fuck
Ben is having a mental breakdown 🤣🤣🤣
FVBrick… too bad he didn't leave the Raptors last year.
Dont trade Pascal!!!!
If Pascal did go. I'd like to see him play with someone like, The Greek Freak or In Philly with Embiid! I'd take Maxey if we had to move O.G or Siakam.
Or if Portland wants to move Dame, I know they are very interested in O.G
@P-DAPS We agree
Yeah that's 70/30 report sounds about right. I mean look at who's at the helm on the coach's bench and those who are there right beside them. This is a different ship moving in a different direction. All Darko has been doing is talking up Scottie.
But Like I said, I'm okay with Pascal sticking around as long as it's clear that this is Scottie's team now. And if it is time to sail on from Pascal being the guy, then sign him for the max and trade him if it don't work out. Ey at least he on that new four to five year contract.
Cuz he destroyed his trade value by saying he won't sign any extention with any other team.
I love Pascal but can't bear another asset management failure like the same thing that happened with Freddy.
Keep killing It Mixtape Ben loving the updates!

I’m so down for Nembhard and some other young players and picks he’s a rlly solid point guard which is something r lack and is on Scottie timeline
If this trade pushes thru, we got finessed again. This is really bad decision making.
To ensure the top 6 pick we should trade yak
Masai want pascal to give home town discount to stay
OG should take ballet 🩰 lesson to improve
his balance/👍
Keep both ,pay the luxury , contend till barnes gets his payday. Give siakam 40-45M.
60%WL backcourt Barnes & trent w siakam at 4 OG and C .
Biggest q? Is does OG want more shots or more handles?. Handles then can see trading him…if shots , u have Barnes wanting to pass…OG will benefit.
Wish fans eould recognize FVs allstar nod was G-league lineups
Why is pascal being trade instead of OG? OH wants to leave if he doesn’t get the ball more… this is stupid
This isn’t a question it’s a stupid take.
Toronto has to keep PS. Scottie is not ready to lead this team. OG does not have the overall offensive skills to make a difference on this team. His defence will suffer next year if given more offensive responsibility.. Pascal has to stay. MLSE will see their ticket sale plummet for years. The Raptors have to remain relevant.. tanking is for losers.
Bens my Michael Jackson
Honestly, I'm just shocked at how are front office has completely mismanaged this team. It is mindboggling. Pascal is only 29 years old and still improving. Scottie and OG in three years could be outstanding and Pascal will be what 32, 33 years of age. This is insane. The trade speculation if true is equally insane. To get so little in return for Pascal is a fireable offence.
Damn if the case with og is that he wants to have the ball more, id see how team looks during the season then we should look to deal og and extend pascal. Though i like the look of an og barnes future, rather deal og then a tankeď value deal for pascal
If he goes to atl before we can get bufkin il be disappointed with the deal
Man what’s up with this clickbait kid making mountains out of the smallest sound bites. SMH
