If raps included OG they might have been able to get to it but yeah without OG this is not good as raptors return at all.

Well done by Portland. They are starting to remind me of Memphis when they got Ja.
mMounirM
with OG they could have. depends which 1sts you get though.
are our picks more or less valuable than current contenders in 2029+?

Nooo stop making sense. It’s totally Mesai’s incompetence and his ego and over-valuing his own players. There’s literally no reason at all raps couldn’t have done what a bunch of Redditors told them to do /s
jeffcrafff
That is an excellent return. On paper it definitely beats GTJ, Dick, filler and picks. Masterclass by Cronin in handling a franchise player’s difficult trade request.

Unlikely? Maria’s likelihood of inaction was 100%
uncledooey
Yeah they did well – can still flip brogdon too
ImmaFunGuy
Lets run it back so we can watch the other teams that overpaid compete in the playoffs

Wish we were rebuilding too

This is rapidly becoming one of the angries, most bitter and negative subs on Reddit. This should be a relief – Masai didn’t mishandle a goddamn thing, the Raptors could not have matched this and remained competitive. Move on people.

What a FO. They seem to know what they’re doing.

That package is really good. They have Ayton at his lowest value (he still had 18&10 with 60% fg) who they can flip later if they want. They can probably trade Williams for a pick later in the season.

Portland also gave up a few other guys to get this haul back though

An insane haul. This is how a GM gets it done.

Dame also came out really well in this. He goes to the favorite in the east

People criticising the Raptors front office for this situation clearly know absolutely nothing about how trades and negotiations work, and think it’s like NBA 2k where you can override deals to suit your teams needs.

It’s slightly misleading to say this. They also sent out Nurkic, Nassir and Keon.
Still though, they really won the Jrue trade

Portland is going to win more games than raptors this season book it
Artohn08
Yeah looking at this you can see why the blazers chose the bucks package. Never realised how valuable of an asset jrue is
tsn101
Ayton was going in some form. It’s incorrect to add him here and suggest he wasn’t going to be included in other potential trades.

And now we go for brogdan? A great shooter is really just what we need one that can play the 1 or 2
