Love the content output !
If we are not going to blow it up. Trade pascal and Otto / thad / whatever else. I strongly believe Scottie / OG / koloko / gradey are a good young core in a couple of years. Adding Zach Levine with these players fits WAY better than pascal. So I wouldn’t be against a 3 way deal trading pascal and bringing in Levine + a pick or a young player and a pick.
I think grabbing Zach would seriously improve this offense as we need a consistent shot maker so that way it takes defensive pressure off our other scorers like Siakam and Barnes, so long as we don't give up too much. I'd just hope we're able to keep O.G. but I'm sure Chicago won't give up LaVine without a sweet deal.
I'll watch anybody new.
Automatic playoff spot if we get zach over siakam
Offensively we're missing a SG like Zach. It's just his defense is not that good.
Anyway to get Zach without giving up pascal? Trade gtj, boucher, koloko, 2nd round? Bulls are rebuilding anyway… why would they want pascal or OG?
Not sure why the Raptors fans are so high on trading for someone who is mid. He has lost more playoff games than he has won, his team has been stagnant in the regular season for years and he's paid like he's top 5 in the league. The Raptors are basically making a trade to get themselves back to the the same position that they were with Demar and Kyle when they'd be dominated by Lebron.
Dude, 3 games changed from losses to wins and the story becomes completely different. Considering we were playing some tougher teams early, ppl need to relax themselves.
How convenient right after Masia looked like a dumbass during his ingame interview
Damn Ben I'm still catching up on your last videos!
Wasn't there another guy doing this podcast with you? What happened, did you break up?
Zach to the raptors is a bandaid solution, he’s a short term fix.
Unless they can trade him for some bums ie: Malachi, GTJ, Precious, Otto, maybe Boucher
Need pure three 3️⃣ point shooters ! Not Zach
Zach is not the guy to fix our overall problem.. we can get guys like cedi osman..Osman… guys like those that can shoot.. shooting around Barnes would be a match made ..get us even slight better shooting than we have now would turn our season completely around
Ujiri is a pretty smart guy. I don’t think he’ll bite on that contract. Lavine might work on the Raptors, but I view Trent Jr as a similar player as Lavine. He’d almost certainly be part of that trade. If I’m the bulls, I’d want Trent and Anunoby. Forget Otto and Thad, the Bulls have already been there
Who’s Bobby Webster?? lol
The word evaluate and masai go hand and hand.
Why are people infatuated with Zach….you guys do realize he's 29 in March and going to run the team 40+m a year….btw he's currently shooting below league average from 3 at 33%.
