Ivey, sasser, Hayes, 2-3 firsts
I don’t think Detroit being interested hurts us or OGs value because no team would trade for OG without a commitment he signs with that team. At this point I like Siakam but it seems like he’s the logical guy to be traded. Build around Barnes and OG.
Good trade
Detroit has no comparable
Value, to what Toronto has.
Tornto, will come out short.
Only if the pistons break the 76ers losing record 😆
yes give us your scrubs for our superstar lockdown defender. This make sense. (Raptor fan base logic)
We ain’t gettin Ausur lmao
Pistons might have a number 1 pick to trade
OG wants to WIN you twit. We are taking him so shut up and keep losing….
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 6 Laughing Sixer faces. Thanks for Saint Nick by the way!
Pistons have so much talent and a former COTY…again. Would love to have Ivey and Duren as depth pieces. Cade looks untouchable with great upside, would trade OG for him to reunite him with Scottie though.
Nothing gonna happen go outside lol
I’m curious to see what’s going to be happening. Definitely trades incoming . Thompson is a really good young player.
Detroit is not giving up Ivey or Ausur
It's going to be very hard to get proper value back for pascal and og. Masai has really painted himself into a corner. Other GMs are no dummies, they know the Raps have little lverage in these trade discussions. I hope he can pull something off but I'm not optimistic. Then the discussion is going to be whether masai and bobby should be fired. Things have really changed in a few years for this front office.
Trading o.g would be one of the dumbest things they could do rn lol
pistons would not trade thompson and ivey for OG lol that would be a lost for pistons . thompson is real good defender stats dont really show
I know everyone wants OG that is why we want him too. If we move players PS and GTJ are the two we would move. Well Chris, Thad, Otto ect can be added too.
This isn’t NBA 2K. You’d be lucky to get any one of them two would be ridiculous even for the Pistons.
I bet you, Massi is dumb enough to do the trade for Isaiah Stewart, and fillers
I wont lie id do asur in a heartbeat for OG. I feel inlove with his game that first game he faced us in the summer league when he blocked a shot, ran down the court and caught the reverse ally op, damn that play was legendary, crazy af. Id love to get thompson. Anything else would be icing on the cake. Duren shouldnt be possible to get but if we do, we literally found our center of the future and can really trade portlte.
Ben your such a try hard dude. Chill the hell out. Everything is either the end of the world, or the best thing ever. There’s nothing in the middle. And no, it’s not bad for the pistons to be interested. It’s more options. More teams to up the price and bid against each other. IF pascal goes, Og would get a bigger slice of the pie. Stop being a little bitc h
You cant blame OG look at the usage stats on the Raptors. Pascal 25%, Barnes 23% , Achiuwa 21% ,Schroder 21% ,Trent 19% then OG at 19%… HOW THE FUCK has a player thats been offered 3 first round picks for and we are paying a very reasonable 18m getting less usage than Denis Schroder, achiuwa and trent. BENCH GUYS ARE GETTING MORE USAGE!! Its actually terrifying that Achiewa usage is that high. I cant blame OG if he leaves at this point, he took a really nice extension deal for us, 4 years 72mil we tell him he will get a bigger role, and he just stays a quite professional the entire time. Look at this team, HOW IS OG NOT OUR CLEAR CUT #3 OPTION.
Barnes also said in a interview just a day or two ago, that OG is his favorite person on the Raptors to play with. Something to think about when considering our priorities heading into the future. Who does Barnes want to play with.
Ausur is a black hole on offence. And he will be for years. He may never be an average 3 point shooter. But everything else looks pretty solid. I like Jaden Ivey. He will be good, may take some time. No way they trade Jalen Duran. That’s not happening.
Ben is also forgetting we have his bird rights. So we are the only team that can offer a fifth year at whatever money we choose.
I feel like a random like OKC is going to be the team that trade’s for pascal, or OG. It’s going to be similar to the Lillard trade when the Bucks came out of no where when body wasn’t even talking about them really being in the mix for him. I don’t think either OG, or Pascal will be traded to Atlanta, Sacramento, Golden State, or Indiana. Some of these reporters are just recycling old rumors because they know we were talking to these teams. There been lot’s of calls between these teams and the raptors and nothing is happening because these teams are offering us 💩 package’s. 💩 package’s like Harrison Barnes and some young player the kings aren’t even high on isn’t going to move Masai even in the situation he’s in. I think a team like Orlando, Detroit, or OKC are the teams to really watch. These are the teams that have a whole bunch of young players Masai might value.
If we had a good pg og would be happy
Rap Digest what do you think of this? PS + G Dick = Hawks: D Murray + B Bogdanovic. Straight up.
They get an AllStar PF to team with T Young and I still think G Dick will be a good to very good SF once he fills out.
The trade shows Hawks +2 games and we are neutral but I think it really helps 3 of our biggest issues. 1 PG depth 2 shooting 3 team depth by moving GTJ to starting SG and then you have DS and Bogdan off bench to help Chris B and PA. This also gives PA more mins per game for his development. You can play OG and SB anyway you want since they are so versatile. SB can be your point forward. Sign GTJ to say $20 mil flat 3-4 year deal if he will and then you only have to get OG to sign in Offseason.
JP SB OG GTJ DM PA CB BB DS off bench 9 player rotation MF JMac Otto more as needed. Long season everyone gets some time. Last prayers for CK as I really think he could be a good backup C if healthy!
It's a nice way for Pistons to say to OG, we want to sign you once you are a free agent. Masai needs to face the reality that no team is giving up their young upcoming players like Murray, Mathurin, Thompson and Ivey. They are just registered for their interest in signing the guy. Bad situation for Raptors as the situation is hurting the team until they accept the market value of siakam and og.
I think Ivey would be a nice fit for Scottie , but I think is better to give siakam instead of OG
Detroit has a lot of young assets and their picks are going to be juicy for years to come , I don’t mind this
Detroit could certainly sign him as a free agent, but I don't see a world where they trade futures for him. Makes as much sense as the Raptors trading futures for Poeltl last year. Oh wait…
You youtubers talk too much about trade scenarios you will never find time to enjoy the game
