10 Pascal Siakam Trades – The Art of the DEAL
Welcome to the pensari basketball Pascal zakum trade show this is going to be pretty structured we tried this once before and it wasn’t nearly as successful as I would have liked it to be because I don’t feel that the trades were necessarily very fair so first let
Me lay out the rules the rules are as follows I will act as a rival general manager any of the other 29 rival general managers and whoever calls in will be mide juring Bobby Webster and you will make me a pascal seum trade that I can’t
Refuse I want to stress this is not limited to cakam trades you could trade me Gary sh Jr you can trade me auto porter just let’s try to get something that makes a little bit of sense and have some fun with it made a jonte porter live earlier which I
Think was pretty good but I was very tired and thankfully I had a little bit of sleep since then so now I up I got my coffee I’m all fired up let’s let’s do this first let’s check out where the Raptors are right now the Raptors
Are really not as bad as their record suggests okay in terms of their upcoming schedule they have the Boston Celtics on Monday and they have the Miami Heat on Wednesday those are two pretty good teams they have the Chicago Bulls on Thursday so on a second night of a back
Toback they take on the Bulls which kind of sucks for the Raptors because that’s a really winnable game and unfortunately the Raptor have to do it on a back to back on the road then they get two days off and they’re at New York against a very tough
Team then Monday two days later they are facing off against the Memphis Grizzlies and then they have four days off for they take on the LA Clippers this is going to get very messy very fast for the Raptors because the worse they get the worse their negotiation position is how I would look
At it right um in terms of the standings hang on one second let me just pull this up here team standings team standings has anyone noticed that nba.com is just a real big nightmare to deal with okay so in terms of the standings okay we already got our first
Caller it’s going to make me a trade all right hang tight Chad you’re the one who wanted to make this because basically earlier when we doing the jante porter video I was noticing that there was a a growing tension in the chat of people who wanted to talk about zakum trades
Which seems to be what everyone in Raptor land wants to talk about right now we did do a poll earlier on X Twitter if you’re not following West pensar bball on Twitter and the overwhelming result was that signing him to a five-year Max was everyone’s least desired option and trading for pcks
Andor youth is everyone’s primary uh objective right now I think the Raptors are going to do neither personally and I’ll definitely share with you what I think they’re going to do but in terms of the standings the Raptors currently find themselves not in a good place they are
12th they’re 15 and 24 the Hawks lost tonight they’re 15 and 23 they’re 12 and the Raptors are in the worst possible position because they are currently seventh from the bottom per tank ofon and and they have a top six protected pick outbound to the Spurs the Raptors cannot afford to tread water
Because the teams beneath them are the eight and 28 Charlotte Hornets you’re not catching them they’re about to get rid of uh Gordon Hayward the seven and 31 Washington Wizards you’re not about to catch them they have Jordan p and Kyle kosma the Detroit Pistons who are 3
And 36 and who are on the precipice of potentially trying to break their own losing streak they have lost seven straights since beating the Raptors on the Western in the Western Conference you have the 14 and 25 Memphis Grizzlies who I would say would definitely be better than us if not for
Their plethora of injuries including John Morant being out for the season you have the totally helpless 7 and 31 San Antonio Spurs who are not trying to make more than I don’t think these I don’t think some of these teams are going to have 15 wins on the season so the
Raptors have already kind of stamped themselves into a corner you’re not shutting down Scotty Barnes and RJ Barett and Emanuel quickle Emanual quickle you kind of being into a bet on yourself contract year Scotty Barnes you know potentially chasing all MBA Allstar whatever you’re not shutting these guys down so at
Best you’re ending up with the sixth worst record that is not a good place to be for a team that has a top six protected pick so let’s do this Wade Wilson saying I’m here nice okay let’s get to the first caller that’s Chad Chad what’s going on man hey
Brother are you hear me okay yes sir I was literally just about to pass out for the night my phone rang got a little ding notification Perfect all right so this is as mentioned previously in the last chat a last minute trade deadline other teams weren’t giving up the guys we want
And this is basically would you rather do this than do a no trade and get stuck to the contract for a Max or have him walk okay so instead of having him walk we’re gonna contact the Nets okay so I am the Nets perfect yeah that’s nice that’s nice I live I lived
In Brooklyn for a while oh that’s yeah there you go so Claxton is coming up on contract renewal and I believe I saw somewhere they were worried about how much they might have to pay we come off of siakam’s contract I think that might be something that we
Willing to put into a center the thing is they’d be losing a center and they probably have to play claxon more than 20 so they would be willing to take on peral because it would also give more reason for Pascal to resign there with his friend so we’re
Trading away both purle and cakam and just to make the salary caps match McDaniels we’re taking back in Nick Claxton because that’s who we’re going to resign as our Center Ben Simmons because Nets want to come off his contract and if anyone’s gonna turn around a player in a different system
And with positivity it’s Darko and if if it doesn’t work out you let him go when his contract’s done uh we take on Looney Walker for a little bit extra shooting in a low contract uh we take on Roose Royce an Neil we can resign him to a Team
Friendly or let him walk this year um after The Season’s done because he’s also at a end of contract and we also take on Dron sharp for Center backup as or just another big um so that’s five out to the Nets three out to us at 61 mil Each okay um I do like okay so as as I am Sean marks right now you have three expiring contracts going out in Royce O’Neal Lonnie Walker Nick Claxton and a bad contract in Ben Simmons so we’re taking on three contracts that you might be losing anyways and we’re taking Ben Ben
Off your books giving you a cent locked in and Pascal to resign to go along with you get to still keep uh we’re not we’re not trying to go at cam Johnson mcale Spencer Dorian finy Smith cam Thomas you you get to keep all those guys while locking in the center and
Pascal okay um I’m currently 16 and 22 mhm I would argue that I’m getting rid of the best asset in this deal and Nick Clon are you sure you’re even resigning him anyways I’m positive I’m resigning him I’m not excited about how much I have to pay to resign him given that Ben
Simmons is on my book however Ben is also a massive expiring this off season and I don’t believe that anything you’re giving me back so here’s here’s I’ll see the situation and I’ll raise you a situation Jaylen McDaniels is pretty much a waste of a roster spot for me
Okay so if you want swap him for dick and you guys can have a future in dick you want to give me Grady dick as well instead of McDaniels because I knew that I knew you’re G to get rid of that one first okay um
Yep okay I see some potential in him all right um the second objection I have to this deal is Deon sharp I don’t want to give up on dayon Sharp I feel I need him Pascal seak has been slipping a lot defensively I don’t believe Pascal seak
Is my Center so where am I playing Pascal seak is kind of my question at this point I’m not playing cam Johnson Off the Bench he’s very good for my spacing so if I do end up playing SE yakum as a small ball Center occasionally because as you
Notice if you looked at my R you are getting purle in this no I understand that okay um but who is my backup center in this situation oh backup center I think you have another Center as well you have uh Harry Giles Harry Giles is not a good
Player yeah fair enough so um I’m I’m inclined to say I don’t want to give up on day round sharp but I could give you something but I can’t give you day round sharp okay so obviously I’ll give you Harry GS okay swap Harry for dayon yep um
And I’d like your uh Detroit second I tell you why I don’t like yakob Curt’s contract and I don’t think you guys do either and honestly if I’m getting rid of Nick Claxton who is 24 years old I’m getting back uh you know this non-shooting Center I want your
Pick you got greedy dick you got her you got her pick this year he’s not very good man he he he he might be like one of the worst players in the g-league this year so I’m not really seeing and I mean like I’m not really thirsty for I’m
Not really thirsty for to take on this guy I have DQ Whitehead DQ Whitehead is in my opinion a better Prospect than Grady dick this pensar basketball guy he had him over Grady dick on his draft board he pretty smart guy it’s good guy should subscribe to P basketball I just
That’s not even true uh I I H uh that guy had a Grady at 19 DQ at 20 but DQ is like he’s serious he’s a serious Prospect just has injury histories plus I have canc Thomas I have like I have a butload of guys who do what he does um
So the only reason I make this deal is because I think that combined this could work and Grady gives me a little bit of future that I’m losing with Nick Clon and maybe I can rehab his value so yeah I would want your uh wait
What the hell is this here yeah I would want this pick and I’ll give you like um I’ll give you a future pick in exchange okay so I give You a 2029 second round pick unprotected sure okay it’s a bad draft year anyways hang on nope I screwed that up here we go um no I just took two picks from you um let me give you 2029 via Dallas no protection second round pick boom okay uh yeah uh this
Deal I I am willing to I am willing to shake on this it does not work because yako brle can Trad on the 15th but as of the 15th this would work do you agree to this deal I’d take it as of the 15th as
Long as this is like like I said on the wire of no other teams are bringing in the the potential options that we have I would take on this contract just to get claxon if we can lock him up I’d take this cool um hang on one Second Agy so I believe Nick Claxton is okay amazing all right uh uh all right how do you feel about this deal for yourself for the Raptors we would have a young Center to grow along with the BBQ lineup okay Looney Walker with a little it’s Lon Lonnie yeah sorry put some
Respect on your future Raptor’s name okay hilarious uh as a bench uh shooter um Ben’s Simmons can maybe put in some minutes under Darko and if anyone in the league can make him do something it might be Darko uh plus good rebounding and you know in a 5-second
Offense Ben might be doing something with some cutting and some passing um Roy like I said probably if you can get Team friendly whatever if you gota you can keep him good and then Harry is is there it’s a backup center if you know uh uh our our guys come into any
Issues with health um we don’t can can I give you my perspective on why uh what what what this trade actually like can I can I give you object can I give you feedback hell yeah okay great so you make this trade on January 15th can I tell you the
Newspaper headline on January 16 it’s made on the last day of the trade leadline because it’s it’s either you’re resigning Pascal for five at Max or having them walk or this you already know you’re not signing for Max five you already knew that walking into the situation you know that right now the
Reports are not even close so exactly so then he’s gonna walk so this is basically is he walking or are we taking this okay sure um because we we can’t have as an organization we can’t have a pascal walks sure okay so great so February 8th right sure February 9th tra
Uh the newspaper headline Toronto Star breaking news Doug Smith MSI jury and Bobby Webster fired for uh criminal negligence and uh basically uh like everyone is jumping off a cliff because mlc stock is tanking this is the worst trade since the vce Carter trade let me
Tell you why number one you took on a very toxic asset literally the worst contract in the NBA and Ben Simmons there is no contract worse than this guy right now it’s bad even as an expiring no one wants to bring him in basically right in time for Scotty to get signed
It doesn’t though because Scotty’s first year would run concurrently to Ben’s Scotty kicks in so that’s that’s that’s your first mistake your second mistake is you don’t realize that Nick Claxton is an unrestricted free agent which means he can literally walk for nothing you’re the same you’re in the same
Position as Pascal number three Royce O’Neil is also an unrestricted free agent he can also Walk For Nothing number four Harry JS is trash number five Lonnie Walker is also kind of trash you basically dumped you basically dumped Grady dick and a much more valuable pick and yaka purle if you
Value him at all and Pascal kakum for possibly the worst Hall in the history of the world if you’re going to make a trade with the Nets I suggest you get back cam uh cam Johnson in any future trade you ever make with him so that’s just this just my objective opinion
People are free to agree or disagree um but as of right now apparently apparently ly 36% of people think you won this trade which I think is crazy I I don’t know how I love nickon don’t get me wrong committed you know it’s not as bad like let’s say he committed to
It yeah I mean yeah I don’t know you would have to be positive that you can get Nick Clon back for 25 man and and I mean 25 to 30ish right like this is it’s bad I I think it’s bad anyways um on to the next
Caller thanks a lot for calling in Chad have a good one see you man okay next next caller Lil John what’s up uh that trade was terrible I don’t think it was very good for Chad I don’t think it’s good for Chad I I respectfully respectfully respectfully was not good for Chad it
Was not a good day um but you know what um I’m happy to do it this way I’m not uh because the last time we did it we had me acting as um the Raptors and then the other team the other players were call in as the other team and it was
Like both Raptor fans so I’m just trying to be very fully objective and trying to fleece whoever calls in so you’re my next fleece let’s see if let’s see if I fleece you or you fleece me all right let’s go all right so just for context does the team that trades for
Seak do they have his bird rights um yes all right so I got a Pistons Raptor trade all right so so the so the issue are you a Pistons fan or a raptor fan I’m a Raptor’s fan all right so the issue with this is would Messi trade one of his
Favorite guys to Detroit this is kind of the biggest issue with this yeah I wonder if by the end of this um yeah do they situation is he still going to be one of his favorite guys because that relationship has yeah so I’m kind of playing on that
Okay well I mean we’re not GNA we’re not going to worry too much about who would or wouldn’t um I’m I’m not Messiah jury you’re Messiah jury so so I don’t know what you’re willing to do if you’re willing to do that that’s cool I’m just
The other team so I’m the Pistons right now oh my God you made me Troy weager man I hate Troy Weaver all right [ __ ] all right I’m gonna be I’m gonna be the most competent version of Troy Weaver in the history of the world all right let’s
Do this okay so Pascal seak to Detroit four Joe Harris y assar Thompson and Isaiah Stewart tell me that’s not a great trade it’s not a great trade you don’t think it’s realistic no I’m giving you the best asset in the deal and assar Thompson if
I wanted to trade assar right now i’ probably get multiple first round picks for him like decent first round picks for him you’re not getting first round picks so Messi would be telling Troy Weaver right now do you still want to be a laughing stock will you going to be laughing
Stock whether we get this guy or not getting Pascal is not making is not making me it’s gonna make me a little bit better you Max him out with Cade with Duren with Ivy a couple other guys you could be in a playe in a year or two
No I I feel that I get you um you could sell it look my fan my fan base is desperate but I am paid to not be desperate and I don’t want to trade you Asar Thompson for anything less than you know a lot more than him I would have tra I would
Have done this deal for OG maybe if I knew OG would resign which I wouldn’t I don’t know this guy’s gonna resign and I’m pretty sure he’s not going to resign so I’m not convinced now unless you can get me on the dotted line saying he’s
GNA come back and be a piston and he’s going to be happy to be here and he’s going to be happy to be coached by Monty I’m not really sure I’m giving up assar Thompson will engage with you in a trade framework that does not include USR you
Know all so I’ll pivot to Harris Stewart Ivy okay thoughts on that we’re getting a little bit closer to something I could stomach all right um by the way uh pensar you’re not Troy Weaver what what what’s your thought thoughts on Isaiah Stewart he’s all right stretch big a little realize
People don’t real realize he’s Scotty’s age he’s pretty young no I get that I get that and he’s really tough he’s in a losing situation right um MJ saying pistons not too high on assar um yeah they’re not even playing him I’m telling you he’s getable that guy should be playing 40
Minutes a night that’s I mean that’s that’s that’s that’s that’s wild stret first of all in two months nobody two three months nobody sours that much on a player they just invested a top five pick in it’s just not it doesn’t happen very often when it does happen
It’s usually when the team that drafted that player didn’t actually want to draft that player and drafted that player just because that they were the best player available um that’s not the case with assar um so while assar may not be playing largely due to the
Pressures to win games right now um it doesn’t mean that longterm value him any less as a as a as a foundational piece of this team for me the foundation of this team is Cade Jaylen and assar now I see Jaden as a part of it I don’t
Necessarily know if I see Killian as a part of it but I am more likely to be comfortable moving Jaden Ivy than I am assar Thompson because I think that while both could be very good I’m more comfortable saying that based on what I’ve seen from assar in my gym that he’s
The type of guy who’s going to work hard enough to become like an Allstar or an all defense guy so I understand why you’d want him but you don’t have anything on your roster other than Scotty Barnes that I would ever trade for assar Thompson right now but uh I
Could engage in this Jaden iy thing uh but I would want my I would want my pick back I would want my second round pick back in that deal also like I mean I’m a little bit let’s expand this deal a little bit so like I’m not sure what Pascal yakum
Does for me right now like just to be completely clear like he makes me a little bit better but that just kind of worsens my pick this year it does give my fan base a little bit of Hope but then do we really think we can resign
Him is this very shortsighted on my part I have a lot of concerns about this so and I’m giving up Jaden Ivy who I just invested a top four a top five pick in last year he hasn’t really been great for us but he’s not bad and there’s
Still plenty of general managers around the league that value him a little bit more like if I’m losing Pascal if I lose Pascal this offseason I’m fired like this this is this might break my fan base um so I’m I’m not even sure I want
To give you Jen iy I might be more comfortable giving you heavily protected picks instead of Jaden iy bro sorry um or or something else like I know you want something of value and I like them but like man how do you feel about Isaiah livers stop it okay how do you feel
About killing ha bro I can’t even say that with a straight face come on okay how about James wisman you need a center you need a center I mean he’s got he’s got Biondo hands bro I’m giving you a 22y old stretch big what what do you want from me you you
Want a former top five pick for your Pascal seak like I like him if I could keep him I would give you at 100% if I knew I could keep him I would 100% give you Jaden Ivy eyes closed can I make one more point on the assar front you know
You you kind of convinced me that they probably wouldn’t uh move them but if you’re trying to run a competent offense in 2024 you can’t have two complete on Shooters and he’s not gonna be on shooter he’s not invested in Duren if if you’re invested in Duren and assar they
Can’t share the court at the same time not yet but assar is gonna shoot he’s in the gym every day he works two three hours a day he has like he has a repeatable dude I’m seeing him every day he’s making shots he’s just not making
Them in the game so have the Scotty leap he could he works just as he works just as hard as Scotty Barnes man he’s an intense kid I don’t know about that uh Raptor Nation saying assar is overrated as Prospect legitimately herb Jones Okay herb Jones Awesome number one
And assar is 20 years old so if assar who is three years younger than herb Jones was as a rookie is is projecting you herb Jones right now that’s a very valuable player type anyways um yeah so I mean I’m more inclined to like like would you be interested in
Picks I’m more likely to give up like I’m more inclined to give you like a future protected first than something of this nature like like what about a lottery what about a lottery protected 2028 pick or even top 10 protected it’s an asset you’re you’re not like I mean you’re you’re staring
Down the barrel of signing a guy for five years you don’t want to sign I can give you a top 10 protected um we don’t want to sign him because he plays the same position as our future superar I mean does he because your feature Superstars Instagram profile
Says he’s a point guard so they can play together I know they can play together the real reason you don’t want to sign him is because he wants five years and we kind of like we would pay him five years 100% come to Detroit I get it I’d be happy to pay
Him he’s not he’s not bringing us to the playoffs he’s not bringing us to the playoffs bro I don’t know come on come on don’t cap don’t cap like what he’s he’s gonna rally off 30 straight wins come on man we we are from SP move is really good
Nah okay so I I’ll make you a final offer like I’m not I don’t I don’t feel comfortable including Jaden Ivy and assar Thompson my job is kind of on the line right now I’m not including Kade I understand that this might be very distressing for you but I will include
I’ll include a very I’ll include a very good player okay and he is very young yeah I’m including uh Marcus Sasser and Isaiah Stewart I will give you both those young players and a future pick okay protected H top five 2028 uh no I can’t give you top five man
Like that’s that’s tough you guys should be good by then though okay but I I’ll I’ll I’ll do you one more okay like Joe not having the greatest season I will trade you also bonovich do you want to get off of yako purles long-term contract ah now now now we’re cooking
Right so so I mean look I can do this for you I can I can take that contract off your books do you want to clear your cap sheet all right uh let me hear the off okay so Pascal yakum yako purle for Joe Harris Isaiah Stewart Marcus Sasser boan
Bogdanovich and a pick yep I I I can live with this um I think having yakob there will make it a little more likely that I can instill some of those winning habits and potentially even convince Pascal to sign let’s try the trade it failed because yaku can’t be traded but otherwise it
Works okay deal gonna be traded elig in two days right yeah all right okay hang on uh the last one the last poll which was uh the previous caller 71% said the Nets one okay let’s let’s check out how how you did okay you actually think they would they
They wouldn’t put uh Ivy in because I feel like they would doesn’t matter what I think this is a trade show I’m not an analyst when I’m talking to you I’m I’m Troy Weaver I’m role playing 100% I’m not giving you any of my real thoughts hold on one sec
I’ll give you real thoughts in one second hold on yeah I need real thoughts my real thoughts are um honestly I don’t think that they they are ideal trade candidates but if they are trade candidates I don’t think assar is on the table I think that’s a really
Heavy Prospect if you’re hearing talks about kaminga not being available jarus Walker not being available bened ma not being available I think all those players would be available for isar Thompson so just reading the the tea leaves on that I think it’s I think it’s
Hard um to to make a case that assar would be available I do think Jaden Ivy was available and I think you could have gotten him if you drove a harder bargain all right yeah you got me yeah um but but I do think like I mean this
This deal is not terrible it depends on how you feel about yakob pto’s contract um if you value him this is this is almost worse than the last deal uh but you do get two young players that I do feel fit into your system and you do get
A player on a shorter term deal than yakob in Bo in bogdanovich that really does kind of fit I probably think like if I’m the Raptors like if I was the Raptors on this side I probably would have pushed for a second first round pick as well so I been like okay you
Don’t want to you don’t want to ever give up you know like I would have read the room like okay you don’t want to give me a top five pick give me two top 10 protected picks and then I I think this could work so if I’m the Raptors
Like legit I think they if this is the hall and and that’s what you’re giving up I think you need like two to three first round picks to make this deal but yeah thanks for calling in Lil John appreciate it all right man see you bye
Okay we got is Jace and then we got Lane is this fun I think this is fun I mean I think it’s pretty fun okay is Jace what’s up hey what’s up what’s going on uh so I had like a couple pull because I don’t want to make like this stream kind
Of boring if it’s like the same teams so I’m going to see which ones we to Detroit and but was the other one before this that we did um we did um I for the other team was the first one oh it was um [ __ ] I lit forgot like I completely
Forgot I was so like in depth thinking about this I think someone the chat knows right I don’t know okay I still want to repeat anything it it was it was okay um so okay so I’m going to do this one actually uh I’m just I have like a bunch P let me
Just see which one’s probably the best one uh rank scrub with the Super Chat thanks so much what would you be willing to trade to get cat I mean I like cat uh Pascal I mean straight up like I mean yeah I think I think I would make that
Deal okay so I have it here uh it’s going to be the Miami Heat okay all right I like the sounds of those it’s gonna be um so from our side it’s GNA be Pascal Dennis and Chris bue okay okay all right side it will be
Kyle Lowry um Tyler hero uh Nica jovic and Heywood High Smith yic oh y sorry um okay say that again Kyle L expiring contract yep Tyler hero okay Nicola yic okay and Haywood Heith uh no pick it’s just just straight up so if I if I was to sell this to you it’d be um basically this helps you guys extend kind of like your Championship uh you know considerations because Kyle low getting really he’s not like super washed right now but he’s 37 he’s
Pushing you know like he’s getting uh pretty old what if he like breaks down the playoffs or something you know his a age and stuff so uh you get like a way younger kind of point guard that’s like that sa like seven years on that that
Could start um and then uh we have uh Tyler hero I know he has like a I’m pretty sure he’s assuming like he doesn’t have like the best contract rate he has like it’s ascending it’s like 30 mil 30 something so I mean so basically
Like a normal contract yeah but I mean I feel like he he’s not as coveted around the league because um I mean like he has he has a lot of his defensive liabilities this wingspan it’s not uh ideal for two-way players to only have like that one-way impact um and then we
Also get the other two young players that are not like I I purposely kept out the the new guy in this that was the jackz J you say you say Hae HZ I say hang up so good good good for you that you kept okay okay I’m gonna I’m gon I’m
Gonna use Pat Riley voice keep my high ma name out of your [ __ ] mouth yeah that’s what I said I’m not yeah Jamie okay Jamie we I purpos didn’t include him I know Hae HZ no no I’m talking about the other guy that’s not the trade H Jamie
It’s haime yeah no I’m talking about the other guy that did not include in the trade Jamie there’s no Jamie yeah Hae I’m saying Hae that’s his name Hae he’s Mexican it’s Jay is ha oh hey okay okay okay my bad my bad yeah okay sorry this
Is hilarious all right uh Mex Mexican fans give this video a like standing up for the pronunciations bro okay um maroon Maron saying troll trust me he’s not a troll long I’m not troll no he’s not trolling okay um okay okay so I’ll I’ll I’ll let’s talk through this uh KY
Probably not in my long-term cards but if he were I could definitely bring him back if if I really wanted to I can bring him back he’s expiring on how much money you think you get it for a v veteran contract you’d stay there I don’t know about a veteran
Minimum obviously I’m I’m acting as a heat here by the way so I don’t know what you what you want but like I I think if I really really want Kyle back as Pat Riley and Eric spoler I could probably what would he do for you
At 38 years old he’s still a good player man I mean you may not believe this but he’s a better player today than than probably Dennis Schroeder is for you you’re getting an upgrade that’s that’s just projecting though that’s that’s like no it’s not projecting those are
Literally his stats I mean if I if I if I put any value into the LeBron metric Kari is a 0.9 value positive LeBron you’re tra I’m trading you Dennis you’re trading me Dennis schroer who’s a negative 1.77 LeBron now I understand Dennis rer has you know some upside over
Kari and that he’s younger he’s probably a little bit less injury-prone he’s on a longer term contract he’s a lot cheaper so I can stomach it but don’t try to tell me that Dennis RTO right now is a much better player than Kyle lry he’s not um Pascal yakum of course is the
Best player in this trade and I believe I believe that I can resign him I’m one of the few teams that that actually I believe I can resign him I feel like with this like recent um like because I know everyone was saying that oh he’s
Not shooting the ball well but with like a lot of space creation he’s been shooting the ball pretty well yeah I’ve noticing you know close to 40% also because in the Heat team there’s a lot of Shooters right so there’s going be a lot of open space and then uh he usually
Does well with the really open threes yeah so I think he’s gonna benefit from that as well okay um the only part of this trade like I’m I’m giving you a very you also get you also get a bench piece in Chris buet for like um I value
I value everything you’re giving back to me but I I I have one problem with this trade which is that I’m giving you the two young prospects and I do believe in niic I believe he is a rotational player in the NBA he’s nearly seven feet tall
And he shoots threes that’s a very valuable archetype I don’t feel comfortable including him in this deal and Tyler herro I feel like I’m giving you too much for an expiring contract who could walk now I think I can resign him but what if I can’t so I would like
To take yic out of this trade and I will add something else back so I can see myself adding you guys are down a center I’ll give you Thomas Bryant you’re losing a lot of Si in this deal and you’re not getting any back I don’t think you realize I mean you got
Yaka purle out Thomas Bryant’s a really serviceable Center I can give you Thomas Bryant he’s also 26 years old maybe you can redeem something of him he’s been a serviceable starting big in the NBA at times okay serviceable after he just got kicked off the Lakers just being bad
Yeah but I mean I I can also I can also t on a second round pick for this I I can give you um the 2026 la second round pick no protections this is the deal I can give you okay well okay this is my counter
Offer K take out the second round pick and Thomas Bryant I would want a first round pick them back a first round because if we’re not getting jovic then um yic sorry yic then uh that’s something that’s definitely um okay I’ll give you a 2026 top top 10 protected top eight top
Eight no no I could be really bad Jimmy Butler bam atab bio Pascal SE yakum they’re all aging out at that time okay Pascal seak be 33 uh bamat bio is going to be my best player I’m giving you one of I’m giving you my best young player
In Tyler hero right now I I’m not planning to be bad this could be my rebuilding year I can’t I can’t risk a top eight protected I can give you top 10 protected okay and I would want your Detroit pick back for this year in a in
A week draft no way I can also give you a second round pick a second round pick I’m basically swapping second round picks with you and I give you the first round pick I feel like I am now losing this TR okay um because I’m making you better
Right now I mean I think I’m making you borderline equal right now you may not you may not see that but Tyler hero is like you’re pairing Tyler herro with RJ Barett Emanuel quickley and Scotty warrn I’m giving you one of the best young
Cors in the NBA and you are giving me a chance to resign Pascal I don’t know why I’m including a first- round pick in this like what am I doing here no no I’m I don’t feel comfortable adding this first round pick man I I’ll give you a
Different first round pick I will give you a different first round pick I will give you then I want I want less protection than like way less I’ll give you 2028 top eight no top five top five then if it’s later top five okay then
Then I walk I I I really you have to you have to understand you’re getting Tyler hero back bro he’s a good player like he’s but he doesn’t play defense and he’s a short weeks fan and we need Defenders we have no Defenders on this team that’s the reason why Scotty is
You’re staring down the barrel of losing this guy for nothing I’m giving you a 23y old futureal allar we got mark huban on other line like got to empty out his entire roster for shakum because he wants to win so we got War if he’s
Giving you is he giving you Luca no he’s giving us is he giv is he giving you Kyrie he’s giving us a bunch of first round picks giving us um the Maxwell Prosper guy he G us Josh Green he’s giv us other players let me just get Mark ke
On the other line hold on one second yo Mark I’m I’m I’m talking I’m talking you don’t know Mark like that bro come on I know Mark like that Mark’s my boy Mark um I’m talking to to the Raptors they’re trying to sell me this pipe dream that
You’re you’re trying to empty out all your draft coffers for for oh that’s cap okay my bad my badul with other like JS like talking no no talk behind each other’s back while like trying to like play I keep you on the phone okay I I kept you on the phone
So that you could hear Mark call you a [ __ ] liar you’re a liar bro no they’re not giving you they’re not giving you multiple first round picks and [ __ ] you you’d be lucky to get omx Prosper you’re talking omx Prosper versus Tyler hero did you not did you
Not watch the B come on man do you understand how upset Luca is because they shut him down that one just because they wanted that that lottery pick Derek live they got they they got he got so annoyed I I think I think hit an Mass
Like I mean you you think Chris bu is some valuable player I think he’s all right I mean he’s okay Off the Bench with that with that system he’s going to be like 10 minutes like pure energy like pure like energy congratulations you’re giving me off the bench cu the bench
Just you’re giving me three 30y olds and I’m giving you the best young player this deal and I’m giving you got pick a timeline because you got like half young players half I have look understand that you get give something to get something I’m giving you Tyler Hero on a very very
Good deal by the way we are very very close to 20 million or 18 million being an average salary you’re paying a future potential Allstar you know who who can dribble pass and shoot which by the way you don’t have a lot of those guys on
Your team okay you I’m giving you a 23y old who is ascending who is a hardworker who is Swaggy as hell and I’m giving you to a coach that has basically developed this exact player typee into an All-Star many times Devin Booker um Desmond Bane my God like okay so I understand what
I’m doing here I’m I’m basically pushing my chips in now because I want to win with Jimmy and this team is going to give me a bit of a chance to do that I like Pascal okay but okay okay but I can’t I can’t be giving you my picks top
Five protected when I’m supposed to be rebuilding because I will be rebuilding the top the top eight protect 296 then that you added first in the beginning uh I said top 10 not top top top eight okay top 10 fine top 10 trying to bamboozle me okay yeah top 10
Okay yeah I I think that’s the furthest I think real talks would go honestly I think this is like probably the I don’t know if I’m going roasted now if I didn’t um oh it doesn’t even does it work oh because it’s 2026 me see okay I guess you have to
Give a later second round then maybe like a different it’s not about the second round it’s about the first round uh so I need to remove that do like 20 to give you okay so I have my 2026 2027 2028 2029 let me see if I can give you my
2028 top 10 protected um uh okay let’s try this there we go yeah it works okay so all right let’s let’s have people grade the trade okay the last the last trade who won Detroit 78% all right Rob’s general manager hat doing well so far I think I did okay I
Don’t know if I I think I think you did okay too yeah I I I don’t think you did I think you did about as well as anyone has so far okay in my opinion I don’t know what what would you realistically think I should have pushed for
Though because I mean yic oh you think I actually could have got yic if I kept pushing yeah you could have damn a [ __ ] see that’s why I I mean it’s not even it’s not even like if you if you get pushing it’s like what would you do
To sweeten the pot and I think that’s why these deals have to these deals have to be like done from position of strength and not desperation because typically when you call up a team and say I need to get rid of this guy you get Eric Williams Aaron Williams I just
Really want off this team bro like Dennis sh to Kyle Lowry even if it’s like not playing it’s just gonna give that entire like young player so much of morale boost I completely understand anyways sjay thanks a lot for calling in man call in any time thanks a lot cheers
Thank you see y all right next up Lane all right now now it’s my turn to get fleed all right what’s going on Lane what’s up what’s up what’s up okay which which of the trades have you liked so far have you liked any of them so far
I honestly just got here when the heat one started well the end of the Detroit one but uh the heat one I heard the whole way through um I’m not mad at either honestly uh wow okay I don’t know I honestly don’t know if I could be mad
At anything we’re gonna get at this point because our backs are up against the wall like extremely up against the wall your back is um that up against the wall thanks a lot for telling me the Rival general manager tell me who Who Am I who am I right
Now put on your negotiation hat because you don’t want to be negotiating for position of my back is against the wall okay well I’m just talking from the Raptor fan perspective okay but don’t be a raptor fan right now be a Raptor’s executive all right so I really wanted
To do the magic I can’t make it work so let’s do the Thunder oh boy you don’t want to do the Thunder yeah I do let’s have some fun please okay sure so I know you want Lori Markin in I know you’re playing hard to get
Right now so I’m gonna do you a favor I don’t want Josh giddy in return I understand that is the piece you’re gonna have to use to go get Lori marinin I completely understand that however are you trying to are you trying to Pur this from the perspective where you think
Josh giddy is some vital part of my future my future is basically anchored on Shay chat and frankly Jaylen Williams and everything beyond that is movable including Josh no I I got you I’m just saying that’s your main chip piece to go get Lori yeah but also he might fit in a
Little bit better in Utah than a market like Toronto which you might want to think about too because if this dude goes to Toronto your team is going to have boycotts you might want to be careful about sending a guy like Josh giddy to a socially conscious City oh
Yeah trust me he he he’s not coming here in this deal um okay because because I I understand that that you’re going to have to do what you have to do so here here’s what I’m going to do I’m GNA give you Pascal seum okay I’m G give you Thaddius
Young o I’m so excited you should be that’s veteran leadership you don’t have veteran leadership you’ve blown a lot of leads this year like 20 point leads I mean I I know you’re you’re you’re in Canada you must know who Shay gilders Alexander is right he’s got more matur
He’s got more maturity at 25 than pretty much everyone on do but that young team man you guys have blown like two or three 20 point leads in the past month alone we also happen to be second in the East y’all are seventh from the bottom you need you
Need to you need to chill and recognize who you’re talking to I got 37 draft picks bro 37 y’all have six just chill okay get that all right this is what you’re gonna do for me or what I’m gonna do for you actually you’ve already done enough you’ve already done enough I’m gonna
Take the dois bton contract oh you’re gonna take okay cool all right he’s avering 3.4 points a game how important is he to you um he’s not that important to me he just he’s important in the sense that he is salary filler all right then then we move um I’m gonna take kenri
Williams okay I’m gonna take Osmani dang because as you yeah yeah yeah my fault as you know I got to get back a young player in this deal because if I don’t like even if maybe I don’t believe in his potential if I don’t get back a
Young player in this deal fans are going to come from my head I gotta give you you should believe in his potential he fits very very well in your system and fortunately we have a lot of players who do a lot of stuff that he does but I
Think he is a prime candidate to pop somewhere else and next to a guy like Scotty Barnes and RJ Barrett Emanuel quickley like you got yourself a really good one here he’s 20 years old by the way I really good young player do have the time to wait around until he grows
Into the player that he can’t be probably fair enough for you know at some point we have to extend him and you know if he pops for me that that’ll be really difficult but yeah okay and then last but not least lud Dort think about it think about it you got that Treasure Trove of draft picks you’re going to be able to go out there and get an actual true small forward instead of playing this guy out of position right now right you’re paying him $15 million Over a four-year period
Where you can go out there and get somebody so much better at so many things like you can go out there and get a three and D guy that’s going to be better and not demand the ball as much as look I mean I’ll be
Fair I think K kasan Wallace is a guy who can replace a lot of what Lou does quite frankly I get that but having two of those guys makes me much more comfortable about Championship odds I’ll tell you what I I’ll tell you what I don’t exactly love about this Pas gal
Yakum you know fit on my Roster number one is I have very much trouble believing that he’s going to resign long term in Oklahoma City we’re not a big market and we prefer the long-term contract I’m already giving you Usman Jang who’s a former Lottery Pick and is
20 years old I’m going to give you one of the best assets in the league in Lou Dort as well I don’t think so so I mean if you really want Lou Dort I’ll need a lot back from you in exchange for for that cuz I think that
That is a very valuable contract he’s 24 years old locked into mid-level exception money and he is absolutely a starter and one of the five best defenders in the NBA in my opinion in terms of defense like in terms of perimeter defense I think he makes you
Like a much better team I think he’s close to OG and anobi as a Defender so I’m giving you a guy who is way cheaper than OG way younger than OG but just not as hyped and marketed as OG I’m giving you OG and anobi back in a lot of ways
He hits threes so at 33% Pascal’s hitting threes from 46% the past month yeah I don’t know how much I buy that but but I’m starting to uh look I I I I gotta say this way your treasure Trove of draft Capital right you’re gonna be able
To go get a guy for cheaper that’s gonna fit your system better and not demand the ball as much um right now is taking 13 shots a game that’s taking shots away from Shay that’s taking shots away from Chad that’s taking shots away from jayd duub that’s taking development away from kase
Wallace who if you think he’s that good why would you take development away from him why you taking sh look I don’t mind this like this is comfortable for me in exchange for this this is comfortable the minute you start adding ludor and stuff to it I think you end into you you
Go into territory that I don’t necessarily want to touch uh so what I can do for you is instead of adding lud Dort I can give you I can take off dadus young just because and I can probably give You I’ll give you poku so I can give you poku usan Jen kenish Williams and Davis Berton for Pascal cakam I know that this probably doesn’t appeal to you long term but you’re getting two young players I can’t give you Cas on I can’t give you case on Wallace I’m not
Giving you K on Wallace I’m not giving you Josh giddy I’m not giving you Jaylen Williams I’m not giving you Chad and I’m not giving you shay that seems like a lie what I can do in order to ease the pr hit for you is I can give you a
Heavily protected first round pick uh which will convey in let’s see I will give you I’ll give you Denver’s 2027 first round pick boom see if I’m not gonna get back L door I’m gonna need need more than that pick wise um because you’re getting a guy who frankly not going to
Resign dude I have a very it’s very long shot number one there’s two there’s two two competing factors here number one I don’t know if he will resign number two I don’t know if I can resign this guy I mean the most space we’re small Market team number one
Number two we have we we are a small Market team let’s let’s be real okay our ownership is bloody cheap and also we have Shay on 33 million with the cap exploding I understand that there’ll be a little bit more value here but I will eventually have to resign guys like
Jaylen Williams at which point I will have to trade Pascal probably with picks to get off that contract if he regresses which I suspect he might so this pushes me into a title window for this year by the way a window I don’t even know if
I want to be in like we’re the number two team in the west right now we have a lot going for us boatload of draft picks having to tie myself to potentially $50 million of Pascal seak next year is not exactly as appetizing as you might think
It is you know who you like you know who you sound like who the Memphis Grizzlies really young team exciting top of the West what’s happened to them in the playoffs the past few years okay well injuries can happen to anybody injuries Could Happen literally to anybody but
Getting their asses kicked by experience come on you need a guy who’s been a number two on a championship team before won an NBA championship multiple time all NBA multiple time Allstar we’re not talking about LaMarcus Aldridge here you know in the Twilight of his career we’re talking about Pascal seak we’re talking
About a guy who’s two three years removed from possibly being a top 15 player in the NBA and was not built around properly here’s the thing you know it’s really funny I was reading an article today from 2019 in the ringer that said Pascal sakam is not an MVP yet
He’s not even close he’s not even close 2.74 LeBron he’s not even close he would come in and he would be my third best player that may be uncomfortable for you to realize but he would also be one of my oldest players I’m not sure that he
Is as good as you think he is I’m not sure if I resign him I’m not necessarily sure that I want to even make a trade right now at all I think that the trade that I would make is for a very reasonable long-term piece that I can
Trade next season and he might not be on my team next season and if he is on my team that means I paid him five years 250 million and that scares me because as much as I like the guy which I do I’m not sure I like him $50 million a year
Enough okay so that’s where I’m at right now in this trade so if that means that I’m getting rid of Usman Jen kenri Williams Davis berans and Alexi poachy maybe this is something I’m willing to roll on maybe I’m willing to just bring them into my system boost my odds for
This year fine but if I’m giving you real assets back I have trouble with that all right can can I pitch my picks that I would want picks multiple picks yes geez okay so you have you already got one yeah well I’m you got you got a 2027 first
Round pick yeah I’m gonna counter that okay let’s take it off what so I I completely understand that you’re not going to be able to draft all these guys right um so I mean that’s not necessarily true everyone says that but I I have a plan for this do you want to
Know my plan do you want to know my master plan what’s your master plan my master plan is international players can play overseas for a couple years okay they can yes I definitely I can definitely bring on guys you know especially with these late first round
Picks I can guys are draft in stash and I don’t have to keep paying them right away I can develop them in Europe I can have that element of it I can always move off of contracts people think that I have some major problem the major problem is actually that there will be
Drafts where four six seven teams don’t have a first round pick and I will so I’m I’m basically like basically at this point I’m not necessarily even holding these picks as some sort of um you know that I really like them I’m holding them because you don’t have them if I have
Them that means you don’t have them that’s my master plan all right let’s let’s figure this out so I want your 2024 Houston second round pick oh no not the Houston second round pick okay I’m taking very invaluable picks here right I’m not taking and maybe one is of value right okay um
Depending on how good you think the heat are next year I think they’re going to be very good I think next year’s they’re all in type of year so I want Miami’s 2025 first round pick and you could even add a top eight protection on it if you
Don’t it’s already protected 1 through 14 oh beautiful think give it to me it’s a I mean you at worst what are you g to be getting like the 25th best player in the draft you want to deal with that give it to me well no I don’t
Want to give you that pick the the reason the reasoning is as follows I really like a player in the 2026 draft I love this player no I know that but if it doesn’t convey in 2025 it continues to convey forward and the projects to get a little
Bit lighter and a little bit lighter that’s true but what’s there’s a player I really like in 2026 and I’m not going to tell you who it is and there’s a player that I really like in 2027 and if you think that I’m kidding please understand I’m Sam presy I like players
In the 2038 draft right now they were just born okay are are we gonna Bank on that they heat are not a playoff team next year though oh I’m not banking on anything I’m just telling you that if they are a playoff team then that pick
Becomes more valuable to me in 2020 all right let’s Circle back let’s Circle back to that and then the last one I want your 2029 first Lottery protected my 2029 first Lottery protected okay well unless I’m dead this team is not going to be bad okay I’ll give you Lottery protected and that
Lottery protection uh goes until 2031 and 2032 it becomes two second round picks okay cool done all right it will and then I’m going to go back because I’m gonna need another first out of this one way or another and you could put whatever protection on it you want um I
Just need another first you’re not getting another first I’m gonna need another first uh what if I did you already got Alexi povi and Usman Jang I’m already way way way too far this let’s be serious Ali put the J back in Europe next year come on let’s be real
No he’s not yes no he’s not he’s better than half your roster okay let’s be real he not better than roster um can I get that Denver 2027 it’s top five protected come on Denver is not gonna suck he’s better than Jaylen McDaniels he’s better than Garrett Temple come on man I got
He’s better than he’s better than quite a few players on your team okay just stop I gotta get another first out of this okay then you have no deal I don’t have to even make this deal I don’t even know why I’m making this deal I don’t
Have to do anything I’m the second best team in the in the west and I’m ascending what if we what if we did two seconds no we can’t do we can’t do two second round picks you’re getting a lottery pick in Usman Jen that I know by
The way that you really liked him in the draft okay so that to me is like enough you get Alexi poesy who is a player from the freaking continent and this and the same country as your f as your head coach you get Davis bton who’s going to become a boatload awesome expiring
Contract this offseason I’m giving you already way too much value and kenri Williams is not a bad player so I’m sorry like this is the best I can do for a rental on Pascal yakum who I don’t me in the middle can I at least give one
More second no I get two seconds I gotta get two seconds in a first for this deal if this call extends one more second you’re about to lose that first round pick like I don’t need to make this deal like I’m just I’m just I’m not driving a
Hard bargain I’m just telling you I don’t need to make this deal and you’re getting Usman Jen who I think is you know like he’s my least I’m being honest like he’s my least valuable player but like I know that this guy is 20 he’s so
Young he’s a good young player bro he has potential he has a wingspan he’s 610 he’s very coordinated and inem with Darko rakovich he’s gonna develop he’s gonna get some minutes with Toronto that’s why I’m gonna need him back for a two-time all-nba player you thought it was
Free no okay I mean because at the end of the day listen okay if you’re a small Market anyway why not get this guy inhouse you know he wants to win he’s said many times this year I’m set I’m setting a timer of 20 seconds for you to
Say yes if you say if you don’t say yes and that 20 seconds you’re losing the first round pick hold on okay Kai just G give me 30 seconds to convince you sure all right you’re getting a two-time all NBA player who’s already been the second option on a championship team right
You’re bringing five years ago you’re you’re bringing him he’s not that player anymore you know that and he’s head’s he’s about to be he said multile times this year that what he wants to do is win winning makes people happy winning makes him happy right so even if you all are a small
Market team what is your chances of bringing this guy in if you don’t already have him in house what’s your chances of resigning him if you don’t already have him in house if you have him in house and you show him assume that I view pasak as my missing Beast
Which I don’t I don’t he’s one of your two I I told you you still got to go out there and get Lori I’m letting you do that still I’m not I value Lori marinin way more and also how am how am I supposed to play Lori marinin Pascal
Yakum and Chad homr together what kind of a weirdo basketball construction you think I’m trying to create the Twilight Zone you let Pascal lead your bench well not come off the bench but you start him and let him lead the bench this guy got benched in one fourth quarter and threw
A fit and stormed off the court you think he’s going to take coming off the bench Lorie marinin and and Chad hren you must you must be kidding you start him and you let him because Lor Lori really like likes to play the three right so you pasal at the four and then
When um you let you stagger the minute so Pascal starts the first five six you take him out then he runs the whole second quarter pretty much so Lor’s coming off the bench no no no Lor’s starting at at the three Pascal’s coming off the bench no Pascal’s starting at
The four Chad starting at the five oh my God and and you think I’m gonna bring oh my goodness you gotta be Kidd Shay starts at Point jdubb starts at two and you have Lou Dort coming off the [ __ ] congratulations you one of the best six
Men in the NBA I literally just solved every single issue that you have you created a lot of issues with this lineup as well number one there’s one basketball and now I have five guys who need it number two um I actually don’t think my actions work with Pascal seak
The same thing that you you might see Pascal seak you see an All-Star and whatever I see him as a redundancy I have Shay and Chad and dub and jdubb he’s replicating you you don’t understand necessarily what you’re doing here because you’re trying to trade me
The best player which no doubt you are what you are actually trading to me is a redundancy that I already have on my roster which is so what’s the trade so so what’s the trade well I mean this is the trade I I mean I’m giving you an expiring contract
I’m giving you two young players and I’m giving you two picks like that’s that’s it and and honestly I I make this trade with my mind on if I resign him I’m probably trading him like I’m not keeping this guy long term on my books I’m I’m taking a gamble that once I
Resign him if he if I rehab his value like this is a rehab deal like I’m just trying to explain it from my side here this is a rehab deal for me if I can rehab his value and convince him to resign because I trust that he might
Want the five-year contract then I believe that I can get much more from him this off season than what you’re offering me or what I’m offering you I can recoup some of this value back from a desperate team but if he doesn’t resign I lose him for nothing so my only
Thing is I’m hedging three bats like option number one he’s fantastic on my team I resign him and he stays this is not going to happen it’s just not happening Cap building team building it’s not happening he’s not on our timeline number two I res you
Know he comes into the team he does really well we rehab his value and this off season we extend him to five years and then six months later we trade him for a very valuable pick hav pick heavy and Prospect heavy package probably from some team that sees the value and we
Keep them happy until then option number three I lose them for nothing and he does terribly on my team in which case I have compromised all of these assets that I’m sending you right now which I’m not going to die over like it’s it’s a worthwhile gamble but this is the this
Is the biggest gamble I’m willing to put on the table so that’s this is take it or leave it moving on to the next caller take it or leave it so the two picks just just so I’m just so I’m hearing you right it’s the 2024 second right and it’s the 2029
First yep can we do the 2026 the uh Dallas or Philly no there’s literally no more this is the best that can be we can’t do a second round Dallas or Philly pick G give me three picks for this deal you know that pick’s not worth anything that could be that could be
Pick number 54 55 I’m adding the picks for your own sanity and for your own you know press I don’t care about these picks as much as I care about the fact I’m giving you two young players that are actually playing for me occasionally and two players that actually believe in
In Oman Jang and and Alexi povi who frankly I don’t need to give up these players to get who’s playing five minutes a game why doesn’t he play more because we have a really good team we have a really good team that’s the thing we have a really good team and he’s a
Really young player he is a 20-y old player he’s not playing because he’s 20 that is very common in functional organizations okay how about Alexi dude you’re basically in Alex in Alexi and and Usman you’re talking about two guys who are just physically underdeveloped once they become physically
Overdeveloped and I’m able to resign them and extend them beyond their rookie contract they’ll become valuable role players for me I know that so I’m giving you two very good valuable role players going forward who still have some flashing upside of starters okay take it
Or leave it I’m I’m done with this trade yes or no no we’ll do it I’m count yeah okay cool all right I I feel I feel like you drove a very hard bargain and I don’t necessarily feel great about this trade to be honest I’m I’m taking my hat off
I’m taking my prey hat off right now I don’t feel great about this trade at all um like I feel like you probably like I I don’t feel bad about it either though I didn’t really give you anything no I don’t believe in I don’t believe in poku
That much I I think I think usan Jang is definitely a redundancy on my roster as well Pascal gives me a little bit of a window here that those picks are not very valuable to me I’m fine with what I gave up I just you know I don’t know I
Almost feel like if I was the real Sam pry I would take this deal and I would bring in a third team and I would ship Pascal off to that third team and get back a ton more value than this yeah I mean it’s rough it’s really rough
Because the Raptors have pretty much already said like Hey we’re not interested on bringing this guy back and Pascal’s pretty much said yeah I’m not interested in signing pretty much anywhere I go and you’re going to need my blessing that for me to resign there
I think it’s a bit of I think it’s a bit of um a bluff on his part he wants that fifth year I can offer him the fifth year I’m not too worried about losing him to be honest I I just I just said that to drive the bargain price up but
Yeah okay Lane thanks a lot for calling in man appreciate it let’s see let’s see how um let’s see how you do in the in the poll I’m just try honestly I’m just trying to win every trade and I I know last year drove people crazy um because
I I I would do these trades and people would be like it’s so mean why are you doing this I’m like bro like I’m I’m trying to give the reality of situation and the reality situation is this is exactly what this looks like you know
What I mean like if you really listen to Old general managers talk about deals that were on the table how you know deals worked this is exactly how it works teams drive a hard bargain teams are going to try to devalue your your asset they’re going to tell you why it’s
Not as valuable as you think it is it’s you know no one is just being like yes let’s give you every pick in the world for pasc no one’s doing that [ __ ] yeah anyways thanks go ahead I was gonna say other than I kind of
Thought the same for OG and anobi and so that trade really surprised me when we got all the value we got out of that so maybe I’m hoping Messiah has another so basically the deal that was initially on the table for OG anovi was RJ Barrett
And two first round picks yes and the reason that deal was on the table is because Mitchell Robinson got injured and our defense was falling off so we decided to save our season we feel like we have a really good young player OG wanted to be here so okay like we made
This deal and those two first round picks are not as valuable to us as putting a competent roster around jayen Brunson difference here is we know OG’s resigning with us despite my videos suggesting he might not resign with them but we believe with 90% confidence that
He will resign if a team out there believed with 90% confidence that Pascal seak would resign like if he could just get over that part of the hurdle and say Atlanta if you trade for me I I I give you a handshake deal I’m resigning your
Offer go way up that’s the whole problem right now everything team that’s trading for him is trading for him with the knowledge that he has put it out there that he’s not coming back that is difficult I hear you that’s why next time I go in I have a I have a question
I want to ask for sure but I’m gonna let this flow tonight man all right cool man thanks night all right next up we have the Golden State Warriors Mike dun Ley what’s up what up brother what’s going on you’re not going to be pushing me
Around like that I I I wasn’t pushing anyone around I’m Sam presty guy that that deal would never ever happen either either way either if either way like they don’t need Pascal like you said and uh and and in no Universe are they gonna take in pushki and [ __ ] who mang like
This it’s just not that’s that that would just never happen I don’t think you’re you’re necessar wrong or right on that because number one povi is a stretch big um he’s a transition player and I think that you know Darko would know him better than most I’m not just making
That claim because he’s Serbian but I also know that he knows him pretty well sure sure number one number two uh Usman Jang is exactly the type of prospect that the Raptors tend to value and if it’s a take it or nothing you know take
It or leave it type of deal this isn’t the worst deal in the world you’re giving Davis Bon’s contract which is very viable you actually would be surprised I think the deal that comes back for Pascal seak will be relatively close in value to that the only the only
Point you’re right about is that the Thunder don’t need Pascal and this is the point when you negotiate with me and you make me a general manager that doesn’t need him like obviously I’m gonna lowball the [ __ ] out of you because I don’t need it but if you if
You if you make me you know a team that might might actually need him well now now I I’ll be a little bit more desperate sure sure yeah well that’s and and enter Mike dun leevy Jr enter the Golden State Warriors okay they need they need this they need it
Bad you think I need this okay cool I won’t disagree with you yeah um you know I’m three games under 500 I could use some help yeah what are you offering me I’m offering you Pascal cakam who would be immediately your SEC the second best player on your
Team would he be the second best player on my team yes no debate yes he would be the second best player on my team yeah there you go that’s all you need so Pascal cakam and okay so here’s my here’s my conundrum with with golden like when I’m I’m thinking of both sides
Here right and I think the easy thing is to is to package together M uh sorry kaminga and uh and Wiggins for the contract but I but I feel like they’d want to keep one of those two no matter what sure I feel like one of those guys
Needs to so I don’t think you could package those two in a trade so that’s why I was thinking I’ll give you wi so Wiggins instead of kaminga yep okay so then I want Wiggins Moody and and pods you can’t have moody and pods I I
Can give you moody no I I I hang up Moody okay I’m I’m not just giving you moody I I’ll make it worth a little bit more your wow but I’m not giving you psky I mean TJ d i I’ll take Trace Jackson Davis or like
I want two of the four young guys that’s that’s how that’s that’s what I need and in in return you’re getting the second best player on your team and you can you can give it one more final run you still have way more than enough in the tank right Gary pton
Comes back you’ve got GP you’ve got Draymond you’ve got Chris Paul waiting in the wi I I can give you I can give you a heavily protected pick to make this deal happen um I I can give you I can give you multiple picks to make this
Happen around this framework but I will not give you Pinsky yeah I’m not doing it for moody moody is not enough there gotta be moody it’s got to be moody and like like even if I’m giving you multiple picks I can give you multiple picks two firsts two first no protection I’m I’m
Heading no protection are you insane no no no no no no no this will be heavily protected um and protected till till till I die um no look I I can give you let’s see here let’s see here let’s see here let’s see here here’s the thing Wiggins has a
Bunch of years still left on his contract so that’s that alone in order to take that contract I’ll actually make this I’ll sweeten this pot for you I’ll give you Chris Paul you give me yaka purle how does that sound so so moody Wiggins and Paul yeah so I’ll give you Chris
Paul right you give me yaka purle and Dennis schroer I’m taking off H how does that help us it helps you tremendously Chris Paul is expiring his contract’s not guaranteed for next year you get boatloads of draft pick you get boatloads of cap space well you don’t
Get cap space but you get you get off of a negative contract in yaka purle uh you don’t have to pay Dennis Schroeder next year uh you don’t have to risk going into free agency with Pascal SE yakum and I will give you a first round pick
For this like I will give you a very lightly protected first for this n I’ll give you 2025 top eight protected we we need we need players we need players here and and if you’re only giving me one I’m serviceable player what how what okay first of all
Andrew Wiggins like two years ago held about as much value as Pascal zakum when he was dominating and and being the second best player in a finals run and yeah he’s been going through some stuff but he’s younger than Pascal and he could Thrive with you guys and he’s on a
He’s on a long-term deal you just took a swing on RJ and it’s paying off don’t underestimate I can’t do this I can’t do this I you’re I’m giving you the three best players in this trade and only getting one pick and a and a middling young player in return Moses’s highend upside
Like who’s a good comp for Moses Moody reaching his maximum potential okay what if I gave you Jonathan Kingo along with moody in place of Moody in of so in L of Moody um see that’s where I think that it doesn’t it doesn’t work why I feel
Like we I need to keep either with Wiggins or kaminga right but you’re you’re but you’re not me I’m me so don’t worry about what I’m doing I I know I know I’m trying to play Both Sides here don’t don’t do that okay so here’s okay what if I traded you
Jonathan what if I added kaminga to this okay took out Moody and Moody becomes my kaminga replacement at the small forward like he becomes my deao forward and you guys can roll with Jonathan Kingo how’s that so you get a long forward you know you get to put them in your development
System unlock them these are all transition offense players man you were getting so much better you were actually getting better because you have athletes and decision makers and guys who actually thrive in transition um that’s 60 60 million going one way and then we’ve got 37 47 56 56 60 68
Going in in Golden State’s way I don’t think that’s going to work like functionally I don’t think it would work um yeah sorry it’s 6 69 versus 61 so we’re $8 million off um regardless what uh do I take this Jonathan kaminga I mean I need need to replace
Yob you got to throw in Trace Jackson Davis nope well you want you want Trace Jackson Davis or you want an established veteran give I’ll give you I’ll give you kabon Looney give me Grady dick n no I want a real Center I don’t want Kavon Looney he is a real Center
He’s a starting center on a championship team and he’s 27 years old are you kidding me right now m I need guys that can shoot if anything what’s the pick coming back to me um honestly now that I’m giving you kaminga I don’t feel so comfortable
Giving you picks I’ll give you a 2029 Lottery protected what have you got 2025 round one 26 round one yeah I’m going to be rebuilding during that time dude this is actually pretty pretty fair do you want to see it here yeah see it played out it fails because yaka purle
Blah blah blah okay I can’t give you 2029 pick hold on I need to change the pick do I need to give it 2028 I think maybe let’s see do I even have 2028 yes I do okay okay I would I would probably take that let’s see now what I would really
Want and and if I got the yeah works so if I got the impression that that they were desperate I would I would insist on pods I would insist on pods instead of Looney no they don’t do it you don’t think they no starting him they’re starting him he’s 21 years old and
They’re starting him and he’s a really good player like unless they knew for sure that seak is definitely coming back I I don’t think so and I I think I I make this deal only because it allows me to keep Draymond on the team brings Pascal in I think I think Pascal and
Draymond make a really interesting fun Court Duo plus I hope that with seaka Minto and Moody kind of like the spacing big sorry the spacing forward psky coming off the bench like I have something here like I think I could I could make something work yakob and psky
Coming off the bench I like this for myself Dennis Schroeder coming off the bench in place of what is often a very injured um I’m actually surprised that an ask for auto porter back in this deal I probably should have taken him but whatever I actually I I changed my mind
I want to scrub scrub this I don’t want that what do you not like about this so I’m giving you schroer you just said it yourself I’m giving you schroer I want podast like schroer dude I don’t like schroer H for for all his warts he’s got
A chip he’s got a chip with WIP schroer give me give me auto yeah you can take Auto great this this actually works out even better no no no no but sorry in addition to Sher so so you get schroer and auto oh you’re very and and you can keep you keep
Kaminga you give me Moody and pods back that’s that’s what I want so want it to be cavon okay Chris when I say a guy is Untouchable he’s Untouchable Pinsky and Curry for me are Untouchable and Kingo is borderline Untouchable I’m giving you a player that are borderline Untouchable
So so theoretically look man my owner loves the guy I don’t I don’t I don’t know my owner loves him I didn’t draft him theoretically let’s say I offer you let’s say a u a trade worked where it was pods and Sally refiller so no one
Else it was just pods and salary filler for Pascal and pieces you wouldn’t take that you you are you’re that much in love with him yep look at your team right now I get it we love him we like him we have look man we have yaking skills on the team you’re essentially
You’ve got yaking skills you got Steph Cur where are these guys gonna be when Steph Curry retires in three years where are these guys going to be three to four years is what I have with Steph and declining fast by the way he’s no top five player in the NBA so he has
Exited the top five he will next year exit top 10 next year he’ll exit top 30 and by the end of it he’s going to be like Reggie Miller at the end of his career he’s already defensively compromised he wasn’t two years ago now he is I need Defenders I’m giving you
Defenders and that’s the problem right Steph at is Steph left on one leg is still the best shooter that’s ever played the game that’s not true that’s always that’s always going to be that’s that’s always going to be valuable to okay well he’s not exactly the biggest
Athlete and we know that we know that we need a lot around him to unlock him as evidenced by his abysmal performance against the Raptors we know that we can’t just throw stuff out there and be like okay go do [ __ ] he’s not Michael Jordan he needs a lot around him okay he
Needs spacing around him he needs transition players and he needs Defenders around him which is why we’re keeping Draymond despite him being a headache and I’m giving you four of the best players on my team in my opinion for you know I mean okay good some players coming back but I’m sorry like
Chris Paul Chris Paul is just a contract at this point to he’s still one of the best players on this team and he’s still one of the best players in the NBA that’s fine that’s fine but he’s still one of the top 70 players in the NBA you
You know why the raps are doing this they’re they’re doing this to bring in young talent and well you got you got a you got a young talent and you got a draft pick I’m sorry you’re not getting more than that I don’t know man I don’t
Know that I can do that okay cool let’s move on then Dam agree to disagree that’s too bad I think when I think if there’s okay GM caps off I think if this I think if this was to go down if it was just like kaminga coming back I think they
Probably do take that right I don’t know how crazy I would be about that as a fan yeah obviously but like kaminga he does some dumb [ __ ] like he’s she shows flashes for sure I do like him I do like him but he does some dumb [ __ ]
And like I like is he just a better version of precious right like I don’t know he’s number one he’s 21 years old number two he is much better than precious okay so like oh much better 100% he’s much better I I do realize that he’s just
More advanced he’s like a he projects to be a very different type of player but yes he does make some mistakes that feel AG just yeah yeah I guess I guess I still take that okay cool uh are there any no I gotta I gotta move on to the next caller
V all right peace man that was great man see y good good trade yeah or good non-trade okay so let’s let’s start a new poll so so the last one uh we have 63% said okc1 so it was a little bit closer so we’re getting a little bit closer to me losing a
Trade all right start a poll uh who was H okay the new poll is who should have caved so on the negotiation who should have caved Golden State Warriors or Toronto okay we got Sports opinion and then we got Muhammad Hassan Sports opinion what’s up hello your mic is off
Bro okay can you hear me yeah I can uh sorry this is my first time doing this I’m in the wheelchair no worries can’t really hold screen up that good but are we still doing the rappers or is another team Rapters plus another team I’m going
To be the other team okay I was thinking you want to you you want to do a trade that’s completely non-raptor related oh no I want to do Raptors and Bulls Raptors and Bulls okay so you’re gonna be the Raptors in this case I’m gonna be the Bulls
Okay are you a bulls fan or a raptor fan H neither one I’m a c fan I wanted to be the Bulls oh you want to be the Bulls I think I got a good trade for you okay for for one caller only because you’re not a raptor fan so you’re not
Going to be a homer about the Raptors I I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll put on my Raptor’s hat okay you can be the Bulls all right make me an offer man I’m thinking about I want to give you exactly okay and I want Pascal seag one for one and I’m thinking
Another guy that I would give you how about this I’ll take let me see I’m thinking Scotty Barnes nope not at all not even close if I give you Patrick Williams another player you wouldn’t take him we didn’t trade Scotty Barnes for Damen Lillard we didn’t trade Scotty Barnes for Kevin
Durant and he’s like a soft like he’s definitely soft borderline all-nba right now and he’s 22 years old you couldn’t trade like let me tell you what what you’d have to give me for for Scotty Barnes you would have to give me Kobe white Patrick Williams and 450 first round picks
For the rest of your life like literally till year 2900 you would still be giving me first round picks like there’s nothing on your roster that interests me for Scotty not happening so what what else you want to add to this deal hello I think Sports opinion is gone
Okay cool moving on uh Muhammad Hassan what’s up Hi how are you I’m good how are you um is there any noise problems like last time or is everything okay now no everything’s all right what’s your trade um I want to do Toronto and um I been looking at the Miami Heat
Because I think Miami would be a good place for Pascal not to say I want to resign back okay so we already did a Miami trade earlier just in FYI we did uh Tyler hero centered pick uh centered trade are you also about to do a pascal for hero trade no not really
Because um I’ll do sakam for Lowry yic and two first round picks okay well the thing with the first round picks is I want them both to be unprotected so I think that I don’t know if you do that nope not a chance in hell um but I will give you
2024 top five protected okay which is as good as I can do there and I’ll give you 2028 Lottery protected because I don’t know where Jimmy Butler is going to be at that point probably out of the league so so given how his bodies run into the ground
So those are the two picks I can give you now the framework of the Steal yeah um so I give myself a compete window now I’m losing ni yic who’s a young player that I really believe in I’m giving you two first round picks this feels like a
Lot and Kar is a really really valuable expiring contract probably more valuable to you given the fact that you know you’re Toronto and you probably sell a lot lot more tickets on him um [ __ ] how would you feel about okay so I would how about um the problem is I don’t have bad
Contracts have a lot of really good contracts on my team and that’s a problem so let’s see where we are contract wise we are close so so how would you feel about so Hae is off limits too right Hae is off limits for sure um how would you feel about Hayward
Heith who is a very good player but okay no I don’t want to give up py word we need to win okay this might be a tough pill to swallow but how about Duncan Robinson yeah I would take Duncan and um I’d probably give you I wouldn’t mind giving shuder
Honestly I don’t think shuder would be bad on my me okay we would want uh Dennis Schroeder we would want a little bit more than that so okay so um so we add Duncan Robinson and kovic and kyari okay Duncan’s 29 years old fits really well around Scotty he’s a fantastic
Rebounder um we take Dennis Schroeder kind of clear the way for Scotty to play a little bit more Point once kyau retires Etc and we would also like to take let’s see here want to win now um I need to replace some shooting though sh sh you know what I’d give you
Auto auto back cuz as you said you’re you’re not you’re you’re in a win now mode and those three guys I think would definitely helped Miami in in the playoffs dude I’m giving you three shooters for you know two non-shooters I mean it’s it’s I I need maybe I need to replace
Dennis schroer here hold on can can I get Gary Trent instead let me see if the let me see if the salaries even work try trade failed because need to cut $1.2 million from the trade so it’s real close um wait who needs to cut 1.2 million oh okay
Okay so you get your serviceable Center to replace yako purle as a freebie because I need to give you more contracts plus it fills your final roster spot and this deal would work do you do this deal I would um unless you can out like maybe like add
A maybe two second round picks would that work I’m get you two first for Pascal zakum could walk for nothing Gary Trent JR could walk for nothing these are expiring and I’m giving you a young player I actually believe in so yeah that’s that’s two first round picks and
Nicole yic is about as much Equity as I’m willing to give plus I’m giving you Duncan Robinson a shooter yeah I can’t give you more than this yeah like I like Pascal but yeah yeah if on Tonto actually actually would do this because I like yic yich um he’s
Actually been playing a lot lately he’s been I’ve been pretty impressed by him um Robinson’s a good um shooter we need Toronto definitely needs more Shooters low is a good Mentor Bryant I think is just a you know it’s just a big centerman in case something happen PTO down the
Road and then Miami you know they get they get Pascal and they get they get Auto a good veteran and they get great Gary um okay yeah actually I I wouldn’t mind that actually let’s ask the audience yeah I don’t think I personally would I would have mind it
Okay let’s let’s see if uh your your fan base agrees Toronto cool all right cool man Mohamed thanks a lot for calling in bro appreciate it all right thank you bye cheers okay steo what’s What’s your deal hello steo you gotta turn you gotta turn
Your mic on bro no worries you want to be the B I want to be the what do you want to be the Bulls no I’m the Raptors you want to be the Raptors I am the Raptors yes okay all right um as dear said I am Toronto okay that that’s
Exactly who I want to give you back I want to give that’s that’s interesting roosen you know men relationships a little bit okay and I want I want the Sumo okay cool I’ve heard that you’ve been very interested in him okay cool yeah um so I’ll give you all
So uh Pascal for jumu and uh J rozan okay um and a first round pick who’s given the first round pick uh the rap the Bulls are given a first round pick I’m adding a first round pick to those yeah no no no what about if I give you a young
Player uh what about um who’s the young player you’re gonna give me for me to add a pick like I really don’t I don’t have picks to add FYI like my you know like my my pick here like it’s gone wait why can’t even I can’t even trade it
What I technically already traded it sorry so yeah so it’s not protected yeah so 2024 is with San Antonio right now and you know I I the earliest I think I can trade is 2028 first round pick and you know that’s a that’s a really far away pick so it
Would be heavily protected but what Young player are you talking about giving me here I I know you have the thing for um s I’m just looking here uh I know you really like um young player that we’ve only played a couple games but uh Jonathan Jonathan Porter or joh Jon Porter
Sorry sorry I’m the Raptors you’re the Bulls okay um so you want me to give John Porter which I can’t because two-way contract I I don’t think two be traded I thought Norwell and um and uh oh because we got rid of Ron Harper okay you’re the
Bulls so you you gotta negotiate from the perspective of the Bulls sorry I’m yeah you’re the Bulls just you’re confusing me now okay sorry okay so I get I get Pascal you give me uh Demar D Ro uhhuh um yeah he’s 23 23 years old and a very
Good young player okay yeah and second round pick going to going to I’ll I’ll take that deal if you want to do that deal okay uh how about this deal no like I I give you aumu who you really liked you wanted to resign him dear R
And I get Pascal seak deal I’ll take that deal okay cool done all right sounds good thanks uh wait it failed I okay yeah it failed because it can’t be done until January 15th okay thanks a lot call and steo appreciate it cheers yeah okay um and I guess you can let me
Know if there are any more um wow what the hell is happening here I’m looking at the last who won this Miami is barely winning really okay that’s cool that’s cool you a lot of Kyle lry fans here cool I’m not really sure I think the
Last one was a bit of a fleece personally but okay um start a poll okay okay I didn’t lose my poll what are you talking about he said Miami won I was Miami I didn’t lose um or did I are you suggesting I lost this trade oh damn okay
My thoughts on this Bulls Raptors trade my thoughts are DeMar rosen probably not super thrilled to be coming back dear Rosen super redundant on this roster a roster which is stared for defense now just adds a small forward shoting guard so now basically I’m starting Demar as an isolation scorer who’s shooting a
Little bit better from three granted but is a bit of a defensive liability still to add to my rebounding and defensive woses I I now have demard D roen and RJ bar together on the same court as Scotty Barnes and yako purle like this is not a great basketball fit in my
Opinion I lost the Golden State pole no I didn’t because I oh right because I I should have been caved because I could have caved no it’s it’s a it’s a walkway deal um oh I I get what you mean you’re saying that I should have caved
In order to get Pascal yeah fair enough um but he was asking for PJ jimsky wasn’t he like I’m not giving him psky like you guys are crazy if you think so no um okay I don’t know if we have any more callers but this was interesting um I’m surprised okay so
Here’s here’s the thing the people who should have like the teams that I wish I could have negotiated as Indiana Atlanta I think golden state is desperate enough but not desperate enough to part with po pimi which is why I was willing to give up Jonathan
Kaminga in that deal um but Vince drove a hard bargain and he was very very much pushing for multiple young players and I just don’t see myself giving up Pinsky or kaminga plus Moody I don’t necessarily think Andrew Wiggins is some beautiful contract I naturally I understand that I’m selling him low
Right um Rob thoughts on this three team deal Raptors get jerus buddy Hawks get Pascal James Johnson jayen Smith Pacers get capella deante ad pick where you see fit um that’s pretty pretty even actually [Laughter] yo bro that was the craziest trade I think I ever seen in my life I value
Pascal yakum just a hair more than Zack LaVine um but to add Scotty Barnes to that like that’s crazy uh Market checks I’d hop on and negotiate Pacers with you do it call in absolutely um if you guys don’t mind I would like to take like a
Two to three minute break um Let me let me see what I can play in the meantime while we do that but yeah can I um can I share something exciting with you that’s happened to this channel over the last um day so if you remember my jonte video I mentioned
That we had our first video Hit 30,000 and I was really really happy we got 30,000 views on a video was the first time it’s ever happened for us previous high was the Joe Weis Camp video which I think hit 20,000 or something and I was very excited about that now there’s a
Lot of channels out there that got major major views and we just haven’t really ever been one of those channels I mean we get a lot of views by aggregate but I think that’s because we release a lot of videos and they get three 4,000 views
But we’ve never been like the you know like you guys see sometimes [ __ ] is like a 880,000 120,000 video view anyways long story short when I made that video we had our first video Hit 30,000 and our second video Hit 30,000 which was really cool but guess
What took a nap woke up the video that just hit 30,000 actually just crossed 40,000 how’s that for cool I don’t know if the analytics are going to show it but it did the Scotty and RJ Barrett Video cost 40,000 on my side I don’t know if front facing it shows that but
It’s kind of cool uh Market checks how do I call in bro the link is in the description you just need a phone or um a computer with a mic but yeah okay let me figure out what I need to play and then play it oh I have an idea for for three
Minutes oh we got Penny Hardway calling in okay y’all mind I just I really need to go to the washroom so like I I drank way too much coffee before this so I just got to go and I’m just going to put on a little bit of music it’s like waiting Music this is terrible terrible music is this better I don’t know man okay if y’all need to grab some popcorn grab some whatever do that I’ll be right back and I will put up the screen what screen uh yes okay I’ll be right back in two minutes What how it goes okay I’m back back right before we fell under 200 viewers I am back okay Market checks is on Market checks what’s up hey what’s going on man uh too much what’s going on nothing just seeing these interesting trades I actually like the Bas Ser thing
You brought up I’m surprised we did that with you yet okay so make me make me a trade that I can’t refuse all right um so and as you know the pac’s got a couple Canadian boys over there that I think MSI would be interested in it’s weird how the Pacers
And the and the Celtics like they just keep drafting these Canadians the caves too like what is up with this it’s very interesting there’s just like the cold Market teams are like hey you’re from Canada you can’t complain about the cold perfect yeah yeah I’ve been noticing that over the
Years okay so the Indiana Pacers we’re 22 and 15 all right what’s the deal all right so um I would definitely want to Center this trade around uh either merurin or nard you can Center it around nard okay and I would also like to take mil Turner off your
Hands nope not happening signed to a very reasonable contract for two more years um he is my rim protection seak is not going to replace him he’s stretch big I understand Pascal shooting a little bit better from three but he’s a younger player and in my opinion the better
Player he’s close to he’s not the better player but he’s close he’s really close in terms of Value Plus he he’s making like way less money no I’m not giving you assets plus mouse turner mouse turner is is off the table unless you’re give me like Scotty Barnes
Or something like that are you giving me Scotty barns oh definitely not that don’t even make any sense on yeah you you can take Buddy he h yeah I wouldn’t want buddy heeled unless it’s like we’re just trying to match salary I don’t really think he has
Well you’re on our timeline you’re going to have to you’re going to have to take take Buddy to make this deal work you’re have to take Buddy and TJ or buddy and somebody to make this work because otherwise like I can’t absorb your 37 million contract with you know a guy who
Makes $2 Million okay what B we okay what about okay so I’m still on miles but we put Yak in there for you no we we we W the fastest offense in the NBA what are we going to do with yaka purle bro okay okay fair enough all right
Um what about we need some another young asset what about uh Obie toppen or Dre Walker you guys feel about them uh sure Obi Obi can be included in this okay um I guess we have to take that back uh buddy to make the numbers work right all right and then
Um uh what do you guys pick situation looking like um we have a couple of first round picks in 2024 our own pick in 2025 our own pick in 2026 our own pick in 2027 our own pick in 2028 which is to say we’re in a pretty good position picks wise
We can we can give you we can give you one of those picks for sure which one would you like and I’ll tell you what the protections would be on them okay uh I’m looking more towards like the 20267 first round I can give you 2026 Lottery protected
Okay okay and one second around and I think we could call it day Um okay I can give you 2028 second round pick yeah I like the value on this deal for both sides okay you’re taking you’re taking three three players back at 27 $28 million for one player going out at 36 okay let’s just uh check one thing here
How would you feel about swapping Jordan noara for Grady dick Jordan Noir uh n what about oh you guys got isia Jackson there for you would do that for gry no um we do who do you like for yeah Emanuel quickly quickly no I can’t do that because quickly are starting guard
Um I can give you if you if you include Emanual quickly I can give you like multiple firsts I don’t think that would make sense I think quickly playing pretty well with Scotty what if you if you if you gave me quickly and Grady I can give you jarus Walker
And I don’t okay okay hold on what if you gave me quickly I can give you Benedict mathine no I still don’t think it would make any sense damn uh wo jayen Smith I like him a lot and I’m I’m losing Obby toppen I
Need I need I need him um well but if we swap Obie put jayen and we add Gary I mean Grady dick so so so take out Obie yeah we add jayen Smith yeah and you’ll add Grady dick yeah bet okay yeah I like that trade much better
Actually you may like it much better unfortunately it doesn’t work cap wise because now you you took back a cheaper player and added a player so you’re going to have to take another player back unfortunately I don’t know what I can give you back now to make the salary
Work I’m already giving you my backup point guard I can’t give you TJ McConnell I’m not giving you Bruce Brown he’s very valuable player not giv you n Smith not giving you jarus Walker here so I still have to give you Obi toppen okay um but maybe I take off the pick I
Take the first round pick off the 2026 first round pick they give me OB top in here so you get you know you get a bunch of young players you get three young players here um I’m getting Pascal seak and Grady dick I take the first round
Pickoff and I’ll give you a second in place of it I’ll give you a much more current second I’ll give you a 2024 second uh would you be interested in taking off both the second round picks and just making it one first round no no because because I mean I’m
Giving you OB Plus J Smith plus Andrew nard and I don’t know what Grady dick is y’all can’t seem to make it work with him maybe I’ll make something work with him and I gotta I mean okay sure you know what I’m feeling generous today I’ll give
You okay cool I will give you 2024 okay which is this coming year top 10 protected first round pick how’s that and I want an exchange I want your second round pick uh the Detroit second round pick how’s that uh yeah yeah we can do that okay
Cool uh let’s see if this works it failed because I gotta cut 600k from the Pacers incoming damn it I hate when these trades are so [ __ ] close they gota [ __ ] H up on less than a million bucks okay we got to we got to add like
We got to add something real small to the hang on so I got to send back like a veteran minimum guy pretty much geez I don’t know who to send back not give me Ben Shepard bro like okay I give you back James Johnson [ __ ]
We needed that guy but I gotta I gotta I gotta I gotta do that to make the deal work there we go Neil sounds good yeah okay I think this might be one of the fair deals done but sure okay man thanks a lot for calling in Mark Che
Appreciate it bro no problem see y okay let’s see let’s see how you guys feel um in terms of the last trade which I feel like there’s a conspiracy to try to make me lose one of these votes because I don’t understand how the hell CH who won Chicago
Got wow y’all really not feeling Pascal seaka Chicago only 54% people think that Chicago won the last deal um I’m shocked genuinely I’m I’m a little bit shocked shocked by that um okay I gotta I got to put the poll up no it’s not it’s obviously not fair of course okay start a
Poll One um I I’ll give you I’ll give it to you from both sides Um clearly okay like I I don’t want to taint the pole so I’ll just give you my thoughts on this deal I think Grady dick and Pascal can fit super well with what the Pacers want to do as a basketball team around Tyrese Alberton I do believe
If my Intel is correct that I will have a very good opportunity to resign Pascal SE yakum to pair him with tyes Salton and honestly I think this makes me a very good team a very good team um I’m not super high on my future with Buddy heeld
He’s a defensive liability Obi toppen defensive liability Jaylen Smith and Andrew neart are definitely going to sting in terms of players that I’m giving up I don’t think that my first round pick 2024 is going to be super valuable and I’m probably going to convey like 18th 19th pick and maybe if
I can go on a run with these guys maybe I’m conveying like the 22nd pick I can stomach that to take a flyer on Grady dick so basically that’s where I’m at right now plus I get the Detroit second back which is like I’m downgrading my
Pick by probably 10 spots so I think I’m good if I’m the Pacers with this deal very much I am taking a bit of a risk you know that Pascal seak is going to take a flight but what am I really losing here I’m losing Andrew neard and
Jaylen Smith I get to keep Ben mathan and jarus Walker out of this deal and I give my star tyres halberton a real vote of confidence that when he comes back from his injury that he’s goingon to have a roster he can compete with I’m going forward with a a roster which by
The way is very competitive suddenly um my starting lineup after this deal is going to be MOS Turner Bruce Brown Pascal cakam tyres halberton and somebody probably Benedict mathan maybe Aon n Smith plus you know like my bench is pretty decent I got TJ McConnell still
Um I got jarus Walker Grady dick you know um Isaiah Jackson Ben Shepard yeah I’m I’m I’m I’m I’m I’m Gucci with this I’m good all right interesting who won 54% are saying the Pacers won 56% are saying the Pacers won all right I don’t want to T I don’t
Want to taint your your perspectives anymore but yeah in terms of like okay so now I can give you I think like we’re done with the callers there’s been a lot lot of callers is great thank you all for everybody who called in and you know I’m not I’m not really easy to
Deal with on the trade machine so I appreciate y’all like giving me you know the space to do that now B any deal including Grady is dumb for the raps to proceed value ads for you is nowhere near his potential agreed and Grady is a huge huge sweetener at
This point for me as a rival general manager because I just feel like like maybe this guy needs to be somewhere else right now maybe you know quick change of P change of pace change of scenery change of system is going to unlock them I believe in this guy you
Know at least as one of the 15 to 16 best prospects in the past year’s draft he’s on a four-year contract if I can rehab his value a little bit from where y’all have dragged it in my opinion and that’s that’s good let me take off my rival general manager cap grd Dick’s
Going to be fantastic he’s going to be fine he’s going to be fine um B do you think the Pacers part ways with jars yes if they’re desperate Market checks I don’t think Grady is as good as everyone thinks fair enough but clearly Messiah and Bobby
Think that he is that good and while I understand why people are a little bit down on him I I did make a I did make an X post you know about chilling off on Grady dick I think he’s gonna be fine y’all like he was a great he was a
Gatorade player of the year I watched a lot a lot a lot of Kansas tape on him High School tape on him he’s a very like cerebral player and sometimes you know it takes a while to catch up there’s a lot of extenuating circumstances that can drastically impact a player you know
For three four games what I like about him is that he’s a really smart player who has an absolutely Elite you know profile to be a good player like he’s smart he got size he’s got good playmaking and he’s got a good jump shot it’s not coming off as clean as I would
Like it to which is probably a problem but in the game where he was successful which is really literally just one game where he’s been really successful which was against Philadelphia you saw a lot of transition shots you saw a lot of Above The Brak stuff you lot of saw a
Lot of pin Downs him coming off the screens otherwise you just seen him kind of stand on the corner and he doesn’t really have like that blow by speed so teams are just able to chase him off the line and Trust not going to be able to
Do anything because not be able to finish and againsts contact he’s not really tight enough with his handle right now to shift the defense anyway so he’s just kind of like PJ Tucker role right now right without the defense I like the fact that he’s moving his feet
A little bit better I like the fact he’s getting a little bit stronger it’s going to be very important for him I do think he’s a little bit more athletic than people give him credit for not like a bouncy athlete but like a coordinated fluid athlete it’s not quite Corey kispert level right
So anyways MJ saying who do you think is a better fit assar or Walker split and Harris man split and Harris um they both fit probably with what you desperately need right now probably jarus but I like assar as a as a player much better I
Don’t say much better but like if I had to do a redraft assar would go top six and jerus would go top 10 that’s that’s splitting hairs but yeah uh be crew saying the Mavs lost of H at home tonight who were missing their three best players does Dallas get
Desperate and offer Li for SE yakum I don’t think so they do have a new ownership group and new ownership groups do tend to do stupid [ __ ] so if they do then MSI jury you know is a very very you know smart dude um but I’m not I’m not necessarily sure that that’s
Going to happen um the poll results for the last trade are Pacers 55 I mean this is a lot better I think the last few callers did probably a lot better than the first few callers um maroon Prince saying Luca didn’t play fair enough I do expect a jump from his
Shooting like Scotty from Grady next year I think the conversation around Scotty and Grady should not exist um JB what’s up hey Rob can you hear me yes I Canad what’s up yeah actually okay small note I think it was darl from Taiwan right he he wanted to bring a lot of politics
Into it and he seemed like really on edge that um I said it was mainland China with technically I said it was mainland China because I didn’t know the difference oh okay yeah well I I think I said it as well because um you did you
Did yeah because you said I don’t think you’ve ever had anyone call from the mainland yeah yeah um the only reason I use mainland is the distinction between Hong Kong and maau which are part of China but they’re not the mainland China because they do have their own system
Own visas passports and things like that and currency right that’s all I I never brought in Taiwan nor would I so anyway it’s perfectly fine to use Mainland it’s not there’s no political um affiliation with that or or any stigma you know I
Had I had I had a tenant once I had a tenant once who whose wife was from Mainland and when it was explained to me 14 years ago um it was it was it was like it was being used as to be distinct from Hong Kong basically exactly that’s
How I use it I mean I’m actually that’s that’s how they used it too so yeah yeah that’s how I use it as well I’m 10 kilometers away from Hong Kong but uh on this side of that border um we got to use VPN we got to use like uh what’s
That called uh anyway uh ways to access YouTube no I get hey how’s how’s your dog how your dog doing any any updates with the uh the test he’s uh he’s got a disease uh that’s um it’s going to require further testing it’s it’s it’s been a really really tough couple of
Days for him yeah thanks a lot for asking is it neurolog is it neurological uh probably because you said the balance and things like that or not it’s in his ear um and we need we need to do imaging to to see if it’s a
Tumor so yeah it’s it’s gonna be yeah I mean yeah yeah yeah my prayers go out to thanks yourg I appreciate it what’s his name or her name his name is Sasha short for Alexander Sasha yeah oh okay okay wow this comment is amazing can we trade Pascal to the Shanghai sharks one
Second Celestial want to say hi I’ve got my own little guy here little girl so oh nice this is Celestial and uh she’s been with us since um I think since she was two and a half and she seven now and she also has um tumor on
Her uh it’s like a breast cancer kind of thing so we’re we’re uh preparing for her surgery probably next month because it’s uh it’s kind of grow it’s tripled in size so yeah um but she’s holding on she’s still eating really well and she’s a lot younger than your your dog like
She’s only seven almost eight but um yeah so yeah she has to deal with that too and uh she’s she’s a big part of our life and stuff so yeah uh thoughts and prayers go out for Sasha and you as well but don’t worry gotta be optimistic uh
I’m sure there G be yeah I’m Sil a good recovery path yeah I’m hoping he’ll be fine too um do you have a trade um I hope it’s not too late I wanted to jump in with a with a trade I do I do I was
Just about to bring that up I’m sorry I um I had I had your dog on my mind and I just wanted to know uh appreciate that Sasha’s a a boy yeah I’m still not sure because Alex yeah yeah Sasha Okay Okay Okay C Sasha also can be a a female name
But I thought it was a boy true um I’m gon to be representing well I guess I’m representing Raptors but um and you’re going to be Golden State okay you’re G be Golden State for this one this is not my uh favorite trade my favorite trade
Is Indiana but since we’ve had so many Indiana trades already um I was listening while driving back home I decided Let’s uh switch things up and go with a golden state offer we did have one Golden State trade that came in but we reject we we had to walk away from it
Unfortunately so yeah oh yeah yeah what was the sticking point um was it PA yes oh okay okay it’s fine I don’t I don’t want pause um I just don’t think he’s going to be the two-way that we need for guard position but I mean he’s got a
Promising future but he’s undersized and I think in the playoffs that’s going to be a problem just like with Fred benle with Chris Ball so don’t worry pause is not gonna be in here um so obviously you get Pascal I still need to finalize the numbers to make it match but most likely
It’s going to be Pascal Gary and uh your absolute favorite I mean he’s got a lot of defensive upside if he’s in the right situation you already know who you’re talking about okay so let show you can relax okay so um that’s how much is how much
Is that 62 I believe roughly no no no uh okay pretty close Okay 61 so on the way back now I’m going for I’m gonna do you a favor you’re uh Bob Myers am I right um no I’m Mike done Ley Bob Myers has been oh oh he already
He already resigned um okay Mike dun Ley you’ve got um you you know if if someone’s in a worse position than Raptors is definitely Golden State because at least we’ve got Scotty Barnes like we we have a future we got Steph Curry we got pod we got Trace Jackson we
Got we got Kingo we’re good we’re good we we need we need a tweak for sure though but but yeah we’re okay okay we’re both we’re both in situations where we can both improve sure sure let’s put it that way I I do like Raptor’s long-term projection more than
Uh Golden State but Golden State still in that window potentially for contention they’re they’re just a step away maybe maybe a move or two I don’t think Raptors is in that position but I think we have a more promising future so let’s help each other out um you’re
Already getting um you know very serviceable pieces you know what sakam can do him as a second option with Steph Curry that’s gonna ignite your offense like that’s gonna do stuff for uh I don’t think Curry has had any Dynamic um finisher or closer especially in that mid-range area except since uh Kevin
Durant I think since Kevin Durant okay right fair enough okay uh and you’re getting Gary Trent Jr who is a sniper from the for From the Bench he is so effective nailing shots a movement shooter he’s he’s what clay was when he before the injuries get out of minus the
Def minus the defense hey minus the defense minus the offense minus the efficiency minus everything minus the size minus this score yeah stop it okay okay and and McDaniels in the right system with the right coaching he we we saw what he was before he came to the
Raptors I don’t know happened I think it’s the Canadian food or the weather he’s he’s not lived up to his uh his potential okay but he definitely had he definitely showcased he shot 40% from three one season right so he has the ability I think I think Philly wanted
Him back they they’re they the the fan base for the minimum uh yeah okay okay fair enough fair enough four million is not that far from the minimum but the point is this is I’m not giving you scraps I’m giving you very serviceable players with
Potential so what do I want back what do I want back yeah uh I’m in marketing I’m in sales I got to make sure you understand what is the offer for you right so yeah yeah yeah exactly sparkling okay uh first things first um I’m gonna help you out so much by
Getting rid of your biggest headache send over Draymond Green I I’ll I’ll I’ll eat his a contract all right so far it’s all favors for you I’m not getting anything back yet that that I want however he’s one of the best defenders in the NBA and
He’s on a pretty reason no no he is analytically he is still the best switchable big in the NBA he and Evan Moy are the best two when he’s not suspended F being suspended so that’s half the game so I mean like if he’s only giving me 42
Games I’d rather get someone 70 games at 70% of his defensive impact fair enough sure okay so there’s that high risk right who knows he’s one suspension away from being completely out of the NBA at this point so we’ll take off Adam Adam Silver convinc him to not retire come on
We we like Draymond here okay we understand he’s a bit of a problem but he’s going through therapy he’s doing meditation he’s he’s doing meditation TW twice twice a day he’s doing a silent Retreat we’re gonna work with him okay but yes okay I’m open to this so far
What else you want Toronto’s got Toronto’s got pretty good mental health uh services available and I think I think we could help him a lot here too all right uh next we actually need something of value so uh let’s see um so you’ve got some young assets you’ve got
Moody You’ve Got kaminga You Gotta Give us one of those two at least at least and then um I may look at also uh Jackson Trace Jackson as something in the pipeline devel that’s that’s very much a young asset that I value in the same realm as I value Moses
Moody so you’re GNA pick one of those guys you pick your pick pick the one you want between those three because actually it was going to be two out of the four but I don’t want pause because I know you won’t give them up so you you you can keep PA and you
Can keep one more of the three and I’ll take the other two otherwise we’re going to be talking picks and quite a few I’m going to need at least two first with light protections I mean there’s a very good case to be made that I’m giving you
By far the best defender in the league by far one of the top 10 Defenders by far one of the top 10 defenders in the NBA right now for he plays 50% of the games okay he’s been suspended about half the games so far out of 30 out of
39 games he’s been suspended for how many 22 okay okay okay okay okay I’ll give you Mo I’ll give you Moses Moody and I will give you ge Santos no that wasn’t one of the four Davis or kaminga okay all right all right now now
I don’t need as many picks now just one pick probably you will not get any picks if you’re okay I’ll take Trace Jackson off and I’ll give you picks uh I will give you this second round pick whoa whoa whoa whoa we’re talking first if no Trace Jackson we’re talking first first
Rounders with Trace Jackson you can throw in a second but without Trace Jackson I need a first be a 2026 let let’s be clear Draymond Green is signed longterm and obviously if you’re trading for him you have a plan for him on your roster very high risk very mes Moody is
Finally a really good young player like he’s been flashing positive upside this year very good young player who fits your roster who knows your star has played with your star has chemistry with your star and really fits into the type of basketball you want to play plus it’s
Spacing for you okay Jay MC but he’s a little redundant in terms of our back court I mean depending on where 21 years old man so I will give you is he better than Emanuel quickly no he’s not is he better than RJ no so he’d be like at at
Best fourth option at best so he might have more value than RJ he might have more value than RJ it’s RJ defensive upside his bully ball his ability to get into the paint and and collapse the defense Moody can’t do that Moody’s more of a movement shooter like he he does
Well in okay in um Golden State because he’s surrounded by amazing talent like uh Stephen Clay and Draymond without that system you put him on Detroit Pistons he’s going to be like what 10 points a game at most maybe three turnovers like he’s it’s the system that’s making Moody look a lot better
Than just an FYI Moses Moody is a better Defender than RJ Barrett and it’s not even close not even close we’re basing this based on RJ in New York how about RJ in Toronto that’s not bad his in Toronto okay but Moody’s playing very limited minutes very limited minutes RJ
Stared minutes 30 something minutes is Moody starting on the golden state no Moody is Off the Bench 22 minutes a game is he not I need to double check but I don’t think Moody is that big a mover for them compared to kaminga like Moody’s the the Golden State fan base
Has been begging for Moody to play for like the whole season and only recently only recently did it get on the court and that was because of draymond’s suspension they they were forced to kind of bring him on and then uh pause is already um replaced him like golden said
You value pause way more than than Moody for sure you see a way brighter future with Paw and you’re giving him the minutes for it no so it’s like it’s a redundant Flash the analytics because I don’t think that you giv mes Moody the credit that he deserves and I think that
You need to so here’s in a nutshell okay you see this jump but keep in mind I am ujiri so I don’t want to be overvaluing your players I want to may be realistic in what they can offer me when they’re in my system as opposed to and I’m telling
You that as a 21-year-old former lottery pick with seven foot long wingspan this is a player who is flashing you excellent two-way potential at 21 years old this is in my opinion I mean 60% true shooting 63% shot quality this is a guy who honestly has a analytics profile
That is on par if not better than RJ Barrett and I would happily flash that for you so you can see is there a way to isolate RJ Barrett in Toronto I know it’s a small sample but I think it’s much more comparable then comparing it
To what he did in New York he wasn’t utilized properly in New York but it’s not because RJ is had four good games in Toronto and two bad games in Toronto and if you ask Nick fans okay they would tell you that that’s pretty much RJ Barrett in a nutshell he has abysmal
Games for weeks and then he has five really good games and then he has two more weeks of abysmal play the problem is you can’t have a starter who plays abysmally for two weeks every two months even if that’s the best case scenario with RJ RJ struggles with finishing in a
Way Moses does not RJ struggles with shooting historically in a way Moses does not um I think I think that mes Pro to be a much better Defender per okay interesting all right all right but I will bet you every F fine I’ll take Moody I’ll take Moody uhuh yeah yeah so
I think that Moses Moody is plenty to be to be giving up in this trade uh for a guy who could walk for nothing I understand the implications he’s not walking for nothing it he could that’s a 5% he’s not putting he’s not putting that fifth year
Uh he’s not giving up that fifth year if golden state offers that fifth year even if it’s not 50 million 48 47 million he’s taking that this is his last big contract there’s no way he’s giving up the fifth year and you’re the only team
That can offer it so I I it’s like a 95% do you think I want to offer Draymond punches him in the face do I want to offer it that’s the question because now I’m paying him 60 million dollar a year in the final year of his deal at the age
Of 35 and guess guess where Steph is he’s in the retirement home he’s on the golf course he’s not there anymore so now I’m screwed and I’m giving you I’m giving you one of the best young players pardon I mean Steph has been remarkable in how he’s keeping keep keep uh kept in
Very good health the last four or five he would be 40 years old when that contract is in the finals here he would be 40 years old he would be basically he’d be in geriatric territory Carter no Vince Carter played till 40 did he not he was a role player from age 35
Onward but very good one at his role and Vince Carter relied a lot more on athleticism C Curry’s never been never relied on athleticism he’s shooting towards Twilight also shooting is not gonna fall I mean it’s not about his shooting falling his shooting is always gonna be
Fine it’s about the movement and all that motion that he creates that’s G to fall off because he’s not going to be as quick to the spots he’s not going to be able to play as many minutes he’s had injury history I don’t think that I have
Five more years of Steph Curry I have two more years of Steph Curry which means I am basically signing on for two years of seak hopefully resigns I’m signing on for this year of seum if I bring him back on a massive overpay the first season that’s okay if he B based
On what Golden State can do to um boost his numbers yeah especially as a second option with Steph’s spacing and Clay spacing and then you also have Paw who spaces really well too and a great movement shooter and can find he’s going to be surrounded by by so many um
Spacers that siakam’s numbers should be very efficient should have high impact and he can actually Focus maybe more as a defensive stopper like he wasn’t really able to do that in Toronto partly because of effort but I think it’s also because we’ve been asking him to hold to
Shoulder so much of the offensive load in in uh Golden State he he can actually prioritize a little bit more on defense I think that one season maybe two seasons in Golden State can actually up his value and you can flip him for a lot
More assets so this is a this is a a kind of investment in helping um solidify Steph’s final two seasons of Championship contention and then flipping it so this you’re gonna get him for five years I know you don’t want to pay him for the five years and that’s
Fine you don’t have to you pay him for the first two years then you flip him as your asset and you’re gonna still you’re gonna have people desperate uh who knows Detroit might actually be able to make a play in in two season and they might see
Cakam as that piece and they’re gonna have some some some assets to move to flip to you so I mean it’s definely something Curry I have a feeling if Steph Curry has a son I have a feeling if Steph Curry has a son his son will be
In the NBA the next time the Detroit Pistons make the play in okay um I’m kidding of course sure okay so as in the overall framework I’m okay with this trade I’m not thrilled about losing Moses Mooney but I gotta lose something to get Pascal kakum what else do you
Want in this deal would you rather give kaminga no no no this is not it this is just like Draymond Green to me is not even a positive asset it’s more helping you out and me taking a huge gamble a huge gamble this could this could completely destroy our take then then
Take Draymond out and uh add Andrew wiins if he’s so negative take him out and add Andrew Andre they’re both they’re both negative for different reasons is Canadian and he’s good yeah but what happened to him his Soul’s gone okay it doesn’t matter his age change of scen I need a
Change of I need a time machine I need Wiggins back in in 2020 okay2 sorry I’m gonna have to mute you for a second you keep talking over me one sec so I I understand what you’re saying but also please understand that I know that you know that I know that you
Know that I know that you know that Draymond Green is much better than you’re giving on right now and that he is going to absolutely help your interior defense which is failing okay that now you’re unmuted okay I mean I mean we’re both playing essentially we’re playing poker uh we both know what
What each other’s holding and we’re trying to we’re trying to get a good deal obviously right so I would prefer Draymond Green even I do think there’s a lot of offc Court risk compared to Wiggins in the sense that even though Wiggins if he can Flash
80% of his Potential from before I think he would be more valuable because of his age but it’s such the chance of that I think is less than Draymond Green not potentially being suspended out of the league so it’s it’s both it’s both like a FanDuel kind of prop BET right now and
Both are not safe bets but the Draymond Green having a positive impact might be slightly safer bet that’s all I’m saying because yeah Andrew Wiggins if he can become even a shadow of what he was during that title run would be very valuable for sure he’d be the stopper
That we need the rebounder that we need but right now he’s he’s he has the worst plus minus on the on the warrior starters he’s been he’s potentially one of the top 20 worst starters in the entire league that’s the season he’s Vince plus plusus plus minus data is
Not plus minus okay how about his LeBron or his plus box minus I mean his Advanced analytics he’s I mean that’s CA he’s okay or or maybe not bottom 30 in the league because there are W there is Wizards there Detroit there’s Spurs so I I meant
Out of out of any teams that are potentially in the playoff picture he’s got to be one of the worst starters out of those teams and he’s a 6 61st percent percentile Defender and a 47th percentile offensive player according to he’s yeah he’s he’s just shooting terribly yeah wow okay
Um he’s not that bad let’s let’s make this bigger then let’s yeah he is very bad like he’d be out of all the players the only one that that’s comparable would be Jaylen McDaniels in terms of his on Court impact right now but let’s let’s get
This bigger um we we’ll take Chris Paul we’ll take Chris Ball he’s injured right now he’s not even gonna help you uh what’s his timeline to get back two weeks maybe three weeks we’re not even sure he’s gonna be reevaluated right you get Dennis schroer yeah I think you know that
So what else how how does this work for MoneyWise uh now we’re going to need picks and how much is kevon I don’t really want come on looting what would it take to getson nothing um hold on did you did you just say you just offered me Dennis
Schroeder and I’m giving you hold on whoa whoa whoa sorry I’ve lost I’ve lost I’ve lost track of who I am okay I I’m I’m I’m the Golden State Warriors here right yes okay so you just you just took Chris Paul gave me Dennis schroer and started asking for picks
Who do you think Dennis schroer is I didn’t ask for picks I asked what would it take to because I’m helping you with your cap situation right that way it’s easier for you to resign seum but now that the salaries are bigger I I’m I’m curious what would do you need for
Jackson Davis to be involved in this trade talks as I said nothing you don’t like I’m giving you Moses Moody I’m not it’s not Untouchable it’s just because you already got Moses Moody you got Moses how about for swap with Grady Davis uh Grady dick that could potentially be your
Future Klay Thompson replace come on come on come on he could that’s his that’s his ceiling that’s his ceiling that’s his projection size 68 with that kind of um defensive upside for that position not ceing that’s not heaven okay like like that’s that’s his Heaven ceiling I I don’t know what God what
Buddha what what Allah what what you have to pray to for him to Kay Thompson but like come on man are you resigning Klay Thompson are you resigning Klay Thompson for how much and for how many years that’s another huge headache on your on on your upcoming offseason no
Well you’re not taking Klay Thompson off my books okay so you’re you’re saying this I I want the Detroit second if I’m doing this like I’m giving you like I’m giving you the vastly better player and he’s also on four years thing is we still need kind of a stretch
Big I don’t know if Draymond Green it’s not the he’s not the long term for that for sure but okay you take the 22nd uh you take the uh Detroit pick this season um we want the 2026 2026 what second round pick 2026 can can we is it possible to
Do a first round and second round in the same year or no it’s just successive years came out right but the same year it’s okay I can give you 20 22nd no I can give you second round pick I’m not giving you first round pick bro nope I
Gave you I gave you trace Jackson and Moses Moody no but we’re not giving us a b but we’re doing we’re doing a 2026 first round swap potential so we’ll take the better of the two picks which most likely will still be our pick like 90% is gonna be
Still our pick but on the off chance that you guys get a better pick we want the 2026 better first round pick does that make sense it’s pretty much nothing to you like that’s the chance of you conveying that is less than 5% based on your trajectory you’re
Getting sakam for For That season that’s like two years from now plus you have um you still have your core you have paws going up kaminga with more like you’re you’re gonna get that so we’re gonna get the 2026 second and the 2026 first round
Swap no I I I I reject this uh I’ll tell you why cuz I’m possibly going to be rebuilding in 2026 and you’re going to be in the Scotty barns revolution in 2026 I trust that you’re going to be very good in 26 and I won’t be very bad
Nope I don’t do it I will give you no I I can’t 2026 Lottery protected and if we do swap that we’ll give you our 2026 I can give you 2026 Lottery protected okay and if it doesn’t convey that year this is just an added stipulation um it’ll be Lottery protected in
2027 and then if it doesn’t convey in 2027 top 10 2027 no because I that feels that feels very risky Lottery protected 2026 Lottery protected 2027 if it doesn’t convey 2026 2027 it turns into two seconds in 2028 2029 both of which I have or wait
Actually no I don’t have my 2028 second so it would turn into 2029 it turns into two seconds so it turns into 2029 n second cuz cuz like like I’m not I can’t protect this and then turn it into an unprotected pick or a softer protection because the longer I
Go I could be really bad for a long time that’s my point like I could be bad for three four years I don’t want to give you like a top three pick so I need to protect myself I’ll keep the protection I’ll keep the protection up to top six for
2029 that’s fair so 2020 so 2028 top six protected and then 2029 it’ll be two seconds if if you can’t convey because you can’t give me 2028 second round anyway so give me 2028 top six protected or um if the 2027 Lottery doesn’t and6 doesn’t not top six top 10 okay okay
Uh okay top 10 top 10 okay so this is basically the 2026 first round we’re gonna call it more favorable but you and I know what the actual protection is okay okay fine cuz doesn’t allow allow you to that’s fine that’s fine let me look this over cap wise how how are we
Are we even close to salaries because I know you’re sending me a ton of money that’s what I’m worried about how much uh 13 million uh from the Warriors incoming trade to make this successful okay well uh okay let’s figure it out then because in terms of
Um space you’re giving me four players I’m giving you one two three four five players and I’ve got so I’ve got two Extra Spaces you can send me two more players to make the 13 work I would of course prefer expir rings but we can take a look but the
Framework overall I think uh I’m so basically I mean I’m just taking back a lot of salary right and you’re not but most of it’s expiring um no I’m taking back a lot as well I got I got Chris Paul and Draymond Green it’s just that you also have hold on
Chris Chris Paul is an expiring next year I mean well it’s not expiring but his contract is not guaranteed through next year is it fully non- guaranteed I thought it’s partially guaranteed partially I still have to eat I still have to eat 8 million don’t I out of the
30 sure still okay I don’t have any more salaries to give you unfortunately I don’t want to get like kabon Looney is about GP no he’s very valuable to me um I can give you Wiggins whoa and you can give me bche that’s the only way this deal is going
To work otherwise you need to take we need to take players off off the books like Okay so let’s let’s swap Gary wi has four more years wiggin has four more years okay let’s let’s take Gary out of this taking Gary out of this and adding someone cheaper to the deal um that
Makes sense for me like aad wait you still need to add don’t I need to add to you I’m pretty sure I need to add now yeah okay let’s add million don’t okay because I don’t think I want Wiggins the problem is um The Warriors are taking back $20 million more or $19
Million more than the than the Raptors right now right so basically either someone like Gary Trent Jr if Gary Trent Jr is out of this trade it works right but if junor is out of this trade then I have a worse trade coming back so I need
To look at what I actually value so I want to take Dennis Schroeder off okay uh um and we we need to ship out Dennis in the sense that Chris Paul and um Moody are both gonna be eating into Dennis’s minutes so it no I understand that but
We might take Wiggins send us a second a much later second future like a 2029 second we we’ll do it we’ll figure that out say that again you want wig so keep keep Schroeder send us Wiggins we’ll give you bue but you give us a 2020 9 second unprotected
Obviously can’t okay sure um holy [ __ ] this is this is getting very convoluted okay trading half the team okay so five five for six this is crazy I don’t think any deal in the history of the world has ever been done like this has ever done 11 players yeah well we’re gonna set
Records right history so I need to send you a pick yeah you’re giving us Andrew Wiggins toxic contract that’s way worse than RJ barretts and bue can actually help you he’s he’s a high impact uh off thebench player like I’d rather keep bu than Andrew Wiggins for sure but to take
Andrew Wiggins to make the salary match you got to throw us a second in 2029 unprotected okay I need to look at my roster after this trade because this is is getting heavily weird okay I need to think so I have Stephen Clay starting obviously who’s my starting small
Forward my starting small forward would be kaminga I guess then I have Pascal right okay um okay and what am I losing I’m losing Moses and yeah I don’t like all the pcks going out in this man all the pcks you’re sending what two all the picks go on and all those
Protections you’re not sending me anything unprotected everything has ridiculous protections I might not see those p 2029 deal deal right okay okay um does it work I think so right yeah it does it does that’s the first one I saw with a green check mark everything else at the 20 to January
15 okay any way I can convince you to take purle as well to keep seak happy no um okay start before we let it go to the vote yeah can can I have like two minutes to explain to the Ws fan why I I’d be willing to do this trip this one
Okay okay so guys I know it looks crazy um I don’t really want to give up on dick but to be honest Moody is is able to replace a lot of what Dick’s potential could be they’re roughly around the same size I I know it’s a
6666 but I mean moody is a lot more developed he’s played with a Barnes that combination is gonna make is probably gonna unlock a lot of what Barnes can potentially do and it’s gonna make Moody so much better big impact um why I’m willing to take a flyer on Draymond
Green he’s super high risk but also really really high reward he is the epitome of someone that could revolutionize Raptor’s defense like to to to get even one or two seasons where our guys can learn the the IQ and take even 20% of what Draymond Green can do
On defense he would unlock the potential for I’m hoping purle I’m hoping um who’s the other guy uh RJ Barrett um Scotty Scotty’s interior defense is not where it could be his help defense is not bad but his like his low post defense he could learn everyone on the Raptors can
Benefit so much from having Draymond Green and Chris Paul as the best on court mentors like the stuff that Chris Paul can teach for vision like as as gifted and talented as Barnes is some of his passes are not on target all the time he’s he’s sometimes making I is it
A step too slow or maybe it’s this chemistry issue but Chris Paul could unlock the passing potential for both Scotty Barnes and Emanuel quickley so essentially they’re getting the best teachers in the league from Chris Paul and Draymond Green we have the future locked in with Moses Moody and Trace
Jackson Davis who could be that stretch big that we need and Moses Moody could be what Grady dick potential ceiling high-end upside could be and finally Andrew Wiggins is a flyer on again a new situation kind of like RJ Barrett he’s Canadian maybe some home good some home
Cooking can can Revitalize his career a lot of it I think is mental some some stuff he’s dealing with with family issues if that can be worked out in what better way than to be close to home close to his family and get all that support that he needs he might be able
To actually become even 70% of what he was during that championship run then we run away with this this is a huge potential steal because of the the future with Moses Moody trackon uh Trace Jackson Davis and then learning from Chris Paul and Draymond Green and then
We still have the upside of Andrew Wiggins yes we’re giving up on um Grady dick but as aside from that Gary Trent expiring Dennis Schroeder H he’s great he’s he’s good Off the Bench but really he’s he’s going to slow down um the potential for Moses
Moody to to make an impact in Emanuel and Emanuel quickly um Chris bue he’s expiring it’d be nice to get him back but we don’t really need him either jayen McDaniels is well he’s jayen McDaniels and uh the only thing I’m worried about is I guess Grady dick and
This uh Detroit second round pick I don’t think it’s moving the needle there’s no way we’re getting anyone in the second round that has the same impact as uh Trace Jackson Davis or Moses Moody so that’s that’s my piece there yeah okay that’s cool thanks a lot
For calling in J ter both sides yeah my pleasure yeah yes yeah man oh sorry I I pulled you off okay I I just want to say I’m looking forward to hearing what the what the fans think about the trade it’s it’s an epic trade never in history has
There been one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 11 players traded in a trade that was great it was great chatting with you that was really great uh mental exercise if you’re still up for a chess game later let me know I can
I can jump back on okay yeah have a good one see you man bye see y um sweater God saying unrealistic as [ __ ] but ENT in trade I agreed that was that was really interesting um I see a lot of what he’s saying right like I like Draymond probably a lot more
Than the average fan would right Andrew Wiggins yeah that’s a tough contract to eat man you got Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green for like four more years you better be really damn sure about these guys you do get Trace Jackson Davis and you do get Moses Moody and you
Do get Chris Paul yo Chris Paul decent right really good um Darko knows him going way back like really well um he is someone who can accelerate the collective IQ of your team um and you get back a first round pick that could be somewhat relevant but I
Don’t think picks are really the point here I think the points are you get it’s tough this this is very Rudy Gay trade right it’s very Rudy Gay trade and he’s right he’s a smart guy like he he saw the the value of grd dick in that
System and saying like Okay maybe maybe I’m wrong about grd dick right maybe grd dick does turn into a better version of Moses Moody but I think i’ be very very excited if Grady dick at 21 or 22 is as good as Moses Moody is today I’d be very
Excited by that I’m not I’m not necessarily as a raptor fan I’m not ready to give up and gry Dick at all but I do want to say that you are talking about the 14th pick versus the 13th pick here’s the cap implications of this though the Chris Paulo is interesting in
The sense that you know it is not guaranteed next year and you know he can be waved Etc so he might just be like a bit of a rental that is not really huge part of this deal going forward Andrew Wiggins plus Draymond Green together is basically what you’re paying for Pascal
Seaka next year um Draymond is still a hell of a Defender man if I flash you his defensive analytics like your eyes would pop out of your head like he’s a really good Defender I think my problem right now is that Draymond might need a fresh start somewhere else and he’s sort
Of pissing off my head coach and I’m not really excited about moving off of Draymond he’s a really big part of my culture and I’m losing Trace Jackson Davis in the same damn deal the guy that I was thinking of replacing him with so I’m very happy they get a pass get back
Pascal seak and Chris bue um Dennis schroer and Gary Trent help a little bit uh Shore up my depths but I’m probably going to be jettisoning them off I didn’t want to bring on this third team deal but I’m probably going to be moving those two guys in a third
I’m going to bring a third team in to make this work probably moving Gary and Dennis to a third team to get back some of the rim protection that I’m losing in this deal um obviously I have a lot of faith in Trace Jackson Davis I do um I
Value him I think he’s a rotational big I do worry that maybe his upside is not nearly as high as someone like a kaminga but he’s a better player right now than Jonathan kaminga he’s not much older so yeah I think there’s a weird world in which the Raptors get better longterm
And shortterm with this deal I I do uh it would all completely this entire deal hinges on who is the real Andrew Wiggins and who is you know Draymond Green for your locker room right now like you could you’re infusing some very strong personalities into a locker room that is
Very young without Pascal seak Etc um this is a deal that has a potential to backfire massively for both sides for both sides right um I don’t really see a star in Moses Moody nor do I see a star in tra Jackson Davis I don’t see I don’t
Think either one of these guys are GNA pop off and become Superstars or anything like that so it’s not quite you’re not trading like a prospect like Shay gild Alexander when the Thunder traded Shay um sorry when the when the Clippers traded Shay to the Thunder
Where it’s like oh my God in 10 years are we going to look like we traded one of the best players in the league for you know a win now move I don’t think either one of the guys project to be that but I do think Moses Moody could
Project to be a really serviceable role playing starter like a forth starter type of guy um going forward I do think that and I and I feel the same way about try Jackson Davids and I think both of them fit really well with what Darko wants to do you get five
Players who fit really really well with what Darko wants to do defensively and offensively and they on the other hand get damn they get all five guys who have struggled to fit in plus Grady dick I’m sure I’m sure he’s going to lose the poll but this deal makes a lot
Of sense in a in a way as well so who won this trade the pole and 61% warriors I get it um I get it you know obviously someone’s going to look at this and say no CP no no pods no this no that you get a whole
Bunch of older guys what the hell um I think really you would have to really really believe in mosy the only downside of this deal I’ll tell you the downside number one not enough pick pick Equity number two MOS is eligible for a contract extension so that’s that’s the tough one
So it’s a pretty lose lose win-win trade depending on how it works out it’s it’s pretty even though um I don’t think the rappers should giving up something of significant value obviously you do give up the best player in the trade by a country mount in Pascal yakum but if
Really you are up to the deadline and he’s not resigning and he’s told you that he’s going to explore free agency and you have a belief that enough Bridges have been burned that you’re going to lose him for nothing yeah this is favorable to losing him for nothing
Because if you do end up rehabbing Andrew wigan’s contract and value he’s an asset and if you do end up you know figuring out like a positive momentum and start building a win streak around Draymond and he is as good at Center for you as he has been for the Golden State
Warriors I mean you’re already seeing the impact of having a guy like John Porter a guy who can just sort of make quick decisions to the middle of the floor recover a little bit you know laterally to block some shots Draymond is still a hell of a Defender man so it’s
A yeah this is exactly it it’s a really highrisk with super high reward if CP and Draymond Green can be mentors and Andrew Wiggins becomes what he was before oh man we are contenders I don’t know about contenders but man like you are a very very scary team in the
Playoffs if this works out for you if it doesn’t work out for you you traded one young player for two young players and some picks you know what I mean so yeah this this was interesting this was really interesting um I happy bear saying I can see msai
Doing a three or four team trade with Atlanta Lakers and Warriors but not a huge one to one I agree the reason that onet to1 deals don’t work is most teams don’t usually want to trade like five six players into one organization you prefer to do three three whatever but
Yeah I mean in either case I mean if you’re trading these five players you’re getting five or six back anyway right if you’re the Raptors anyways it is 3:45 in the morning and how the hell do we still have 220 people in here I don’t know this community is awesome continues to
Surprise me thank you so much I hope that I wake up tomorrow and we’ve crossed 7,500 Subs like it’s happening it’s actually happening hold on let me just show you um show you what’s happening which is is really cool too I don’t know if I can show you the channel

Screen if you’re not subscribed and you want to see something really cool subscribe right now would’ be really cool okay so this is kind of cool I mean you can see the growth over the last 28 days has been really awesome if you want to look at our lifetime growth this been
Kind of cool um as well so obviously we grew right around here in 2022 but really this is when we started making videos and it’s been really fun but this Spike since December 29th and we were at 6 6,857 subscribers and to grow like this much in just two weeks has been super
Cool right um to the to the other part of it which is really exciting so somebody somebody gave me this stat the other day saying um that the what the hell was it um that pensari basketball had more views than like this channel this channel this channel whatever combined I thought it
Was cool but look at this 70,000 views in the last 48 hours dude that’s [ __ ] crazy PT like that’s awesome I I know I’m not supposed to get excited about small numbers right now and I’m supposed to keep my keep my eye on the bigger bigger picture or whatever
But I just want to say thank you to everyone who’s making this possible it’s super cool to me uh to see all of the work uh paying off in a way too like it’s it’s pretty cool I think you will hit 10 10K Subs by trade deadline let’s hope so man that
That would be absolutely do that’d be cool we just hit uh we just hit 40K Subs on Scotty and RJ video sweet man Muhammad Hassan saying got a trade for you tomorrow I mean I don’t think we’re doing a daily trade show bro that’ be crazy oh still taking calls I’ll take a

Your channel pretty much every day so you’re doing something right thank you that’s awesome uh Christopher deato saying the trade deadline is going to be crazy for you I wonder if your spikes line up with moments like that keep it going um no so the first Spike really lined up with
Just being this new channel on YouTube uh which was June July August 2022 I think August 2022 um sparkling saying I subscribed at the early stage of the channel it’s awesome to see the growth that’s awesome man thank you so much there there have been people who’ve been here since like 12
Subs right which is crazy Um thanks a lot um Mr T-Rex 4 a.m gang awesome man yeah it’s it’s I mean you don’t want to be repetive competitive and redundant you do want to keep it entertaining you do want to keep your channel ethos going so there’s there’s a lot of things
To balance out I guess but I do I do think one thing like in terms of the CH the content creators that I found myself really supporting and then some of them like I supported them for like two years and then I kind of started to walk away
From them a little bit I started be like uh this guy changed up on me a little bit you know now he’s offering his coaching and everything’s about his coaching and now he seems kind of a douche so that’s always been the the the bigger goal of like would you still be
You if you got to like 300 Subs 300K subs or 500k subs or a million Subs like would you still keep the same kind of humility about like okay I can still learn I can still get better I still owe it to everybody Etc so yeah thanks a lot man will you ever
Get Darko on this channel for an interview yeah I think so head on fire discovers you through Raptor digest with Ben Rogers H I’ve been following you ever since that’s really cool man I remember that debate very fondly about Gary Trent Jr and his defense I remember that okay uh we don’t
See any more callers so we are going to Vinos and get out of here but I do want to say that since I’ve been talking uh there have been one there’s been one more subscriber growth like it’s awesome it’s just it’s great like growth is great I I I can’t say enough about
Growth growth is like the most fascinating thing whether it’s whatever it’s growing good habits growing your wealth growing your subscribers it’s awesome so um your channel is more educational other Raptor Channel thanks man um yeah I I think there’s there’s plenty of content in this space for people to
Choose from and I’m very happy that you know whether it’s postgame lives or trade reactions Etc that you guys are hanging with us that’s really cool man all right 4: a.m. gang 35 one gang I think it’s time to call it it’s been three hours um yeah Adam Lou saying when
Did banon Rob collab um it was due to a mutual friend kind of hooking it up uh I think it was about a year and a half ago so yeah please hit the like button thanks a lot Carvin yes hit the like button and once this trade goes once
This video goes live if you have like two minutes just comment down below and let me know what was your favorite trade that would be super super helpful as well so I’d love to know like is there a trade that you kind of liked in this or
Were they all terrible is there like one that’s like H that was really interesting I I do believe like sometimes these trade shows can be interesting as well because I think they start a different discussion so for instance like Golden State Dallas like having the conversation and and consistently orienting the conversations
Around Grant Williams I’m not necessarily expecting that to change how messou Jerry and Bobby Webster function but who knows like who knows how much the constant murmur of like we need to get Grant Williams back we need to get Grant Williams back makes it more of a pressurized situation where the
Reporting around it changes a little bit believe it or not I have seen this happen where you know you start pushing for certain players to certain teams and then the entire fan base starts putting those players in trades and then somehow there’s like some sort of weird bleed
Over effect on that player being more valued in that fan base so does that ever make a difference to how J Bobby Webster operate probably not much but I do think it makes a difference with the fan base so yeah um what time did you talk about Miami Heat trades well early
Yeah uh Luke ding gonna rewatch this live from the start piece absolutely I I’ll try to add some time stamps I’m gonna go take my dog out for a bit it’s snowing um hopefully keep them up upright and balanced and then I’m gonna start I’m going to start doing some time
Stamps and some cutting uh because there’s obviously a lot of dead space in that jante video that I I would like to cut out so yeah anyways talk to you guys see you Alex have you met Messiah or Bobby before I’ve never met Bobby before but I
I did meet Messiah a long long time ago yes you could put together the best parts of each live as a highlight and post since lives are pretty long for the Casual VI to catch up now I get that um a lot of people suggest chopping lives
Into to like smaller videos and I know a lot of channels that do that the problem is that I would much rather put time stamps if that Mak sense in the video itself so I can like put time stamps like you know Golden State Warriors trade one starts at this moment that
Moment whatever I’d much rather do that than chop it up into smaller videos because I feel like the people who watch the lives are the core audience like for me and and like there’s like 200 300 people that like if they’re up they’re watching and I don’t want to insult
Those people by flooding their timeline with a whole bunch of Snippets of shows that they already watched you know what I mean like I understand it might get you some views maybe one of the videos pops off add some graphics to it maybe gets 20 30,000 it’s a great Channel
Growth thing but I don’t necessarily think it’s it’s great for our community so that’s why anyways take care guys see you bye it’s kind of crazy how all last season you were saying seak was selfish and Messi said the same in his press conference um so I don’t think that Messiah
Necessarily said that Pascal was selfish and I don’t necessarily even think that I was going outright and saying Pascal is selfish I think the style of basketball that the Raptors were playing overall was selfish and a lot of players were responsible for that Pascal was
Part of it I think there are things that Pascal did last year that were selfish is you know but I wouldn’t necessarily accuse him of being a selfish player and I don’t think Messiah did that either anyways take care guys see you
Pascal Siakam has been in talks to be traded for 3 years, with teams like Sacramento, Indiana, Golden State, Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta among others being heavily rumoured to be interested in his services. Reports are that Siakam wants to stay in Toronto but the Raptors have refused to sign him to his desired contract length. As the trade deadline looms large, the Raptors, according to Chris Haynes are on the verge of pulling the deal off.
So I’ll be a rival GM of your choosing. Make me a Pascal Siakam trade I can’t refuse and let’s see who gets closest in a few weeks to the best haul, and what the trade talks with rival GMs actually might feel like for Masai and Bobby Webster.

I don't want to trade Pascal. Trading PS would be a very big mistake unless an All Star/All NBA caliber player is coming back in return. Trading PS for prospects and bench fodder is a ridiculous idea for a team that can't attract top level free agents. Now that the Raptors have an elite NBA player some people want him traded away in favor of a youth movement. The trade to make is GTJ, OPJ for Wiggins. Buy low on AW thinking that Toronto's positive environment will turn his season around. He is still a top level wing defender, has championship pedigree and is from Toronto. Poeltl, PS, SB, AW, RJ, IQ, Schroder is a very talented top 7 with JPorter, Boucher, McD in support. Masai needs to turn Young into something positive. The Spicy BBQW era!
Everyone Is Sleeping on a Mavs Trade
Trading Siakam is stupid cause He is a better player than Barnes right now.. Raptors get worse without him. 😂 Ben Simmons lol 🤣🤣🤣 no one wants Ben
Pascal Siakam for Scoot Hendersen right guys?
I think we should respect pascal, this is not fair what we doing to him, having a trade show for him? When he sees all of these around how do you want the man to put in any effort to play the game. Look at the way OG is playing in NY 100 effort because he’s not in a toxic environment of hear say. And even with all this pascal is still playing amazing, to the point of wanting Scoot for pascal remember? Imagine that happened what would you say now? We have something that is basically home grown and wants to play here I think we should give him the money so Scottie and the others can learn from and we trade when the time is right. Imagine someone having a trade show like this for Scottie B the boy is not stupid he sees all this and is saying to himself this can happen to me too. You think the raptors can’t beat 95% of the teams ? Yes we can we’re playing at 60% because of trade talks here and there. I’m a fan of you Rob, a fan of everyone on the raptors let’s cheer for the team and whatever happens happens. It hurts my heart so much just looking at pascal you can see he’s hurting so much.
Lol that one call asking Scottie to Chicago is dumb
Just do it and focus on getting a big man.
Some of these callers man are just… ya.
New career high for Jordan Hawkins last night 34 and 6 😭
Your explanation to not make these trades always included Pascal won't resign with me. Which teams do you think would be able to resign and afford him? I'd start there and pitch you a trade taking away your major pass reason
The 2nd Heat Trade was glorious
Max money 100
“Im the other team cause y’all homers” … want to be the Bulls? “I am Toronto!”
I think the Hawks are the team most likely to max him.
Might need a big multi team trade to get the best value for him and then move that package to a team willing to move the asset you want.
A multi team deal that netted Green from the warriors and Mitchell Robinson from the Knicks would top my list assuming there are no star options.
Green, CP3 and Kuminga for Siakam and Poeltl gets you a potential long term piece, an elite PG who could play with Quickley and teach him a lot and a player who would push RJ hard on playing defense and be super fun to watch with Barnes.
Still need a real center.
I wouldn't worry about competing this year but I wouldn't be disappointed with wins either.
Ben Simmons has another year at 40 million. F%%% Ben Simmons, his Trash.
I appreciate the ‘time stamps’
Naz Reid we need him. Not for Siakam.
Tor: Pascal and Detroits 2nd
GS: Wiggins, Kuminga, Podziemski and
Looney
That would free up Gary for Naz Reid trade😂
Just my terrible take
dead topic. wait till trade happens then discuss. this is pointless.
Wish we could deal with Pistons and get Ausar.
Surprised with the Vegas odds and rumours nobody thought of how a Pascal trade to Dallas could be possible here’s my offer.
Dallas Receives (37.8m in contracts):
Pascal Siakam
2024 second round pick via Detroit
2027 1st round pick top 8 protected
2029 1st round pick unprotected
Toronto Receives (35m in contracts)
Grant Williams
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Derek Lively II
I’d sell Dallas on they are looking to win now with Luka and Kyrie and Lively is going to take a bit before he’s ready for that. Also Dallas would have the ability to offer Pascal less than a max as they could sell him on minimal state taxes and his best friend is playing only a 3 hour drive away. Siakam spent time in Lewisville Texas when he attended Gods Academy which is approximately a 27min drive to your stadium, so he has familiarity with the community and the area. He also went to New Mexico State so the dry weather really isn’t an issue for him.
I also heard Danny Ainge likes picks and that Olynyk might be on the trade block.
This guy is the most unrealistic gm saying whatever to make him sound like he is losing out giving up Lowry and Herro lol.
Second Heat trade looks cool
Really enjoyed this one!! Thank you!
