Raptors Baited by Shams Once Again…

We have some news that is currently breaking as Shamy athletic just came out and said that the Raptors are quote ramping up their trade talks for Pascal cakam and today has honestly been one of the crazier days in terms of reports and rumors surrounding Pascal obviously

We’ve been covering all of the sort of trade speculation the reports the rumors and stuff over the past year and a half and we’ve had stuff drop from Chris Haynes Jake fiser all pockets of sort of the NBA media dropped today regarding Pascal seak the Pistons involved the

Warriors the kaminga stuff all of that but frankly I didn’t really want to believe too much about what’s going on with Pascal because I’ve been of the stance that I’ve wanted to extend this man give him his contract see how it shakes out with this current group this

Current roster but no this uh quote from Shams sort of gives a lot more validity to all of the other reports that are going on given he’s one of the tightest insiders in the NBA as he’s basically indicated that you know talks are currently heating up at this very moment

The kings are our main Suitor so we’re going to dive into that entire report what the Kings can offer us and probably will have to make a whole other video on all the other Pascal cakam news that has come out but folks before we dive into

That over 56% of our viewers are not subscribed to the channel so would mean the world to me if you guys want to stay up to date on all the latest Toronto Raptors news especially with sort of everything that’s been going out down over the past week or so it’s been

Coming at a very fast pace definitely subscribe to Raptor die just we’ll keep you up to date with everything but let’s dive into this report cuz basically Shams came out with a video I’ll just show the text here now on this one saying the Raptors are ramping up try

Talk surrounding star forward Pascal cakam with the Western Conference playoff team Contender emerging as a serious Suitor now he ended up going on saying directly in a video link below this tweet that basically the Sacramento Kings are a main Suitor that has come out and their team again looking to sort

Of improve their roster compete in the west and all those types of things so what does that mean because the Sacramento Kings again have been linked to the Toronto Raptors for it feels like the past two years with interest in OG as well as Pascal cakam and now with the

Raptors sort of giving indications that they are willing to make moves willing to make deals following that OG and anobi trade things are starting to heat up and you know we heard the reports specifically from WJ and regarding timelines for this Raptor team when we

Can expect a deal and it felt like Messi Jerry from all the reports that were coming out he was uh waiting to see how this Toronto Raptors team looked with their entire roster with their entire Core Group in place and I guess that might not be the case I don’t know what

Ramping up directly means but what ramping up means to me at least in my sense is that messou Jerry’s on the phones right now taking calls left right and Center because betting odds have dropped I don’t have all those screenshots I would rush to sort of get

Onto this video here right now but apparently the Mavs are the favorites Haynes has linked the Golden State Warriors Jake Fisher has talked about the Pistons being a legitimate Suitor trying to cover everything I can on Twitter here now at this point is where officially backed on Twitter I’m I’m

Back hooked onto that platform so we’ll see what happens there but uh yeah things are kind of getting mad but what can the Sacramento Kings offer the Toronto Raptors if a deal were to potentially go down because again the Raptors we are not going to trade these

Guys for nothing and we saw it in the New York Knicks deal OG an anobi again was on potentially a potential trade last year the Knicks were just offering Evan for 3 trashy first round picks and Messi jury waited and he got Emanuel quickley he got RJ Barrett as well as a

Very valuable second so M Jerry doesn’t feel like he’s going to get swindled going to get B you know cheesed by a certain team and Jake fiser came out and indicated who the players that the Sacramento Kings are actually willing to give up as you know you can see the

Report here Sacramento have made Harrison Barnes as well as Kevin herder and Davon Mitchell all available for a trade so what’s the deal with these three guys what’s the deal with these players because Davon Mitchell is a player that I think NE Raptor fans we’re not watching every single Sacramento

Kings game by any means but you know so you think oh Davon Mitchell he’s a guy that can in theory shoot is a really good Defender really solid well he has not had the greatest season at least statistically speaking as he’s a guy that’s older than I kind of expected

Before diving into he’s 25 years old despite being sort of uh you know early in his NBA career shooting 36% from the field 25% from behind the three-point line only averaging four points per game one rebound two assists so again he’s not super young he’s a good Defender for

Sure but the rest of it isn’t really there not interested in Davon Mitchell whatsoever so another guy in Kevin herder a guy I am more interested in certainly but this season is having a really down year especially for my fantasy team averaging 10 points per game four rebounds two assists but the

Number that’s pretty concerning for herder here and something that I imagine will adjust back is his three-point shooting because this season shooting 34% from behind the three-point line that’s his bread and butter that’s what he’s supposed to do the torona Raptors want some more three-point shooters that

Can’t shoot will call up Grady dick from the G league and that’s a little bit of a mean shot there Grady dick I believe in him he’s only 19 years old he will be fine but basically Kevin herder again not a player his contract is pretty

Expensive as well you know look at the type of money he’s making 15 million 16 million 17 million for a guy that’s currently shooting 34% from the three-point line not a lot of value for an all-nba player in Pascal seak or at least all-nba caliber has been an

All-nba player and then the next guy we can take a look at is Harrison Barnes who is 31 years old right now 11 points three rebounds one assist again 40% from three which is solid but again is 31 years old he’s older than Pascal cakam he’s another guy that’s sort of making

Serious money over the next couple Seasons I mean 17 1819 million respectively so what are we doing here what are we doing if those are the three players that are thrown out there in terms of potential deals for Pascal cakam this trade cannot happen it would be you know Messi Jerry’s one over

Pretty well all the fan base following that OG and anobi trade but this would be malpractice if you were to sort of make a trade centered around these three players unless we’re getting ridiculous insane just lucrative amounts of draft Capital but you know I don’t want to

Dive into draft picks and stuff along those lines because the Raptors are worried about players we want guys that can potentially you know come into this current group build around Scotty if we’re making a trade for Pascal seak out fits well with RJ Barrett Emanuel quickley you know whoever the hell’s

Whoever the heck else Messiah you jury thinks should be a part of this core so looking at the rest of this little roster right we’re not getting Fox we’re not getting Sab bonis it wouldn’t make sense for the Kings to trade for seak if they’re giving up one of those two guys

But Barnes I’m not that interested in herder Malik monk is a good basketball player but again another problem is he’s a free agent come this off season so you know is there crazy value there Duarte at the bottom of the roster there’s not a lot of pieces on this team that really

Gets you excited that really gets you amped up except for one player and frankly if he is not a part of a deal from the Sacramento Kings this trade cannot happen happen and that is Keegan Murray who you look at his salary again is locked in for the next three seasons

On pretty reasonable money and has been putting up some pretty has taking a leap this season and uh you know he’s 68 only 23 years old so basically the age of Scotty Barnes averaging 16 points per game six rebounds 1.6 assists so he’s not a great facilitator by any means but

The real big part of Keegan Murray’s game is he’s shooting 36% from the three-point line this year 83% from the free throw and that number has been increasing he had a very cold start to this NBA season but he has gotten a lot better as The Season’s gone along go

Back to his career average I mean last year or you over his career is close to a 40% three-point shooter he puts up buckets fast in a hurry and this season he’s been taking a lot of tougher shots as well again looking at the shot distribution for Keegan Murray here now

At this point I mean he’s a guy that uh shoots 52% from his uh shouts from behind the three-point line so getting the paint a little bit more this season has adjusted his game as a bit more of a score for the Sacramento Kings but uh again you know you know the the

Three-point percentage has dipped he’s makes a lot of those kind of close to the close to the basket mides you know those start to go down from he shoots a high percentage but and again he doesn’t take a lot of corner threes only 23% of his three-point attempts are from

The corner and uh you know he’s only making weirdly enough 32% of them but hit 44% of them last year so with the Toronto raps especially playing alongside RJ Barrett Scotty Barnes and this would sort of I’d imagine our starting lineup would adjust depending other players we got and what other

Shakeups ended up happening but our starting lit would adjust to Manuel quickley RJ Barrett Keegan Murray Scotty Barnes of the four and purle at the five so that’s how things would sort of shake out again you’re getting a bit more floor spacing there even though Pascal has been a better three-point shooter

Here now at this point ke Murray’s good he’s young you have him under contract for three seasons again he’d be a nice piece to acquire in a pascal cakam trade am I that interested in trading Pascal seak I mean and Keegan Murray is a significant downgrade over Pascal as of

Right now again the future you can project things out you could do whatever but the Toronto Raptors are giving up probably a top three power forward top five power forward in the NBA at the minimum and you know I guess if we think Scotty Barnes is a power forward then he

Could slide into that position but again we’re losing some size we’re at we’re recouping it with shooting I guess you know I’m not sure what draft Capital could potentially get involved in this we’d have to get some other pieces as well in order to make the salary work I

Mean if Messiah can I’m not going to be call Messiah a disgrace of a trade or this is a horrible loss or anything like that if we make a trade with the kings that involves Keegan Murray but I don’t know man I I like Pascal cakam I think

We extend him he’s I’m a big fan of his game I’m a big fan of what he can do especially around this team maybe we’re over reading into a bunch of these games we’ll get to see Keegan Murray tonight I’m sure this uh this video is going up

At 99 new FL time we play the Kings in a couple hours so you know we’ll see what ends up going down but let me know what you guys think in the comments section down below you guys the best to makeing this far subscribe to the channel if you
