(Matt Moore of Locked On NBA Via NBACentral) The Raptors have shown interest in Damian Lillard. “That’s the thing nobody’s really saying, but everyone around the league kinda knows that the Raptors are amongst the teams.”

But I was told by Miami fans that cronin is a war criminal for being patient because only Miami wants him and we shouldn’t wait for other teams to get interested because no other teams get interested.
I trusted those Miami fans, I can’t believe they may have just been acting in their own self interest 🙁
The Raptors are a team that have made sense to me for months as a landing spot for Dame. How many of us had dreamed of landing OG and Pascal to pair up with Dame when we were wanting to build a contender? The Raptors could actually do it. I think theyd have a real shot at a championship too.
If they arent willing to give up Scottie though, i dont think a deal is there – I believe they could give up to 3 first round picks if they drop protections with San Antonio, and then it would be centered around OG (if it isnt Scottie). OG+salary filler+3 picks isnt much of a difference from what Miami can give.
I’d actually root for the Raptors if this happens ‘cuz fuck the Heat
I feel so bad for y’all sometimes.
These stories have been bouncing around all summer.
“Portland wants more assets.”
“Trade talks died down”
“Discussions gaining traction”
“Mystery team involved”
Repeat
I don’t know how y’all handled this entire summer. I’d have deleted twitter and Reddit by now. Y’all are stronger than I
So yeah, this has got to be for Scottie Barnes then, right?
Oh lord please let Toronto make a move for him
Toronto makes sense to me as Masai is the type of guy who doesn’t care about what a player’s preference is. He made the Kawhi trade before. No reason he wouldn’t do it again.
