This is Crazy…



This is Crazy…

Today has been a wild day in the NBA and news regarding the Toronto Raptors has also been dropping like crazy as well so we’re going to dive into it all including the Miami Heat being interested in Bruce Brown the heat trading away the Toronto Raptors grot today which has some Toronto Raptors

Fans turn their heads about a potential reunion again speaking on those championship years Martian Gortat spoke out on an opportunity he had that really could have changed everything for the Toronto Raptors probably not for the better during that championship year run and a clip going around from a raptor

Supporter so lots of stuff to dive into today in this video but before we do folks again over 57% of our viewers are not subscribe to the channel means the world to me all you guys supporting the vid supporting the channel as we continue to deliver all the latest

Torono Raptor news so if you hit that subscribe button if you want to stay up to date with everything regarding the Toronto Raptors means the world to me but let’s dive into the news because the first thing we’re taking a look at the guy that has been at the center of a lot

Of Toronto Raptors discussions over the past few days and it’s Bruce Brown a specifically the Miami Heat are now interested in acquiring Bruce Brown according to a report now things have been shifting pretty crazy for the Miami Heat over the past sort of day or so so

You know following this KY lar ter rosair trade that we’re going to dive into in this video but Bruce Brown is a piece that definitely fits with sort of what the Miami Heat are sort of looking for we have a lot of updates just in general regarding Bruce Brown in this

Vid but basically the first report is uh coming from amiko hoop saying the Miami Heat are interested in Bruce Brown no crazy sort of insights but the Raptor’s current asking price as we’ve broken down on a previous video is a solid young player no one that’s crazy or

Anything along those lines but a solid young player as well as a future first round pick that according to Josh lomberg gra and all these folks they’re saying that they want it to be better than the three you know not three pick one pick better than three picks but you

Know a draft selection that is better sort of value than what the Raptors received for Pascal cakam so Bruce Brown the Raptors have leverage in this sense because he’s not a free agent come the end of this off season if the Raptor don’t want to make him one you know he’s

A player that a lot of contending teams he just won a championship would be interested in so the Raptors aren’t playing you know from a level below that they were with OG and Pascal given the fact that those two guys were unrestricted free agents come the end of

This year’s offseason so I mean Bruce Brown he’s a valuable piece teams are interesting and now add the Miami Heat to the long list of teams that have been reported for Bruce Brown it’s obviously broke down yesterday the nuggets the Lakers as well as the New York Knicks

Are all intrigued by the possibility of acquiring Brown so he’s a guy that again is going to net the Toronto Raptor some serious value and Chris Hayne sort of uh reported this as well saying that uh the Toronto Raptors won’t have any problem getting what they want in return Bruce

Brown is that hot of a trade candidate so what could we get you know whether it’s from the Miami Heat whether it’s from whatever teams I mean the people were sort of speculating and I threw out a proposed schroer package not a Bruce Brown package for Kyle Larry along with

Yic as well as a first round pick coming back to Toronto but I think that framework could potentially work but obviously the heat dealt away one of their first round picks in this sort of a heat trade I believe was the 2027 one where they dealt away this morning so

Maybe get 2029 against further into the future but again we’re just accumulating assets doing what MSU jury sort of proposed and sort of keeping flexibility so despite the fact that the heat made this trade and I should probably just dive into this one now anyways the heat

Do have some potential assets to fire our way they made Duncan Robinson Untouchable after sort of reemerged as a solid player on that team I mean Caleb Martin could be cool Nicole leovic would be cool we’re not getting hawz we’re not getting obviously Jimmy Butler b too not

Getting Terry Roser because they just acquired him but the the Miami Heat do have some pieces again I don’t think they’re going to be able to compete with the New York Knicks specifically who are reported to be very high specifically Tom Tibido on uh Bruce Brown so I mean

We’ll see what ends up happening especially following this trade the heat are looking to make some swings to push up higher and higher in the Eastern Conference after l losing streu and Gabe Vincent in the off season this year Rosier is going to help them with that

I’m sure they’re not going to be done making moves but let’s dive into this move that sort of happened today which I’ve been alluding to if you guys didn’t see a Raptor’s Legend has been traded and that is Kyle Lowry who obviously signed with Miami Heat or in a little

Sign and trade sort of deal you know when he left the Toronto Raptors and now they uh you know W bombs have been dropping left right and center today and this one made me sad made me a bit sick to my stomach cuz the Miami Heat Delta

Away Kyle Larry to the to the Charlotte Hornets for a 2027 Kyle Larry in 2027 first round pick for Terry Rosier and I get the value for this the Miami Heat frankly the Miami Heat finessed the Hornets here with this one again Terry Rosier is averaging close to 24 points

Per game this season you might say it’s empty stats I get that I’m not going to say t rir is one of the you know top five point guards in the league or something like that and Kyle Lowry’s really fallen off a cliff in recent weeks but a 2027 pick for Miami Miami

First round picks just never are that valuable they’re never that bad even though bam or at least bam isn’t super old but Jimmy Butler might be older you know that sort of timeline in group I mean I’m sure the Hornets could have probably got more but I guess they want

To do right by Terry Roser but the horn the Miami Heat did not do right by Kyle Lowry sending him to Charlotte and some people are projecting that the Hornets might end up waving Kyle Lowry so he comes back to the Toronto Raptors if we wanted to make that happen I don’t know

I think if Kyle Lowry gets waved he’s going to want to go to a contender be a bench piece on sort of a team that’s competing and it doesn’t seem like the torona Raptors are competing right now for a championship well definitely not for a championship probably not even for

A playoff spot so I mean it sucks to see kle ay gone it would have been cool to see him back into Toronto Raptor’s uniform maybe it could still happen but I don’t project that to be the case but the one thing that sort of discourages

Me a little bit about this is because the Toronto Raptors are potentially in a race at the bottom this will be all confirmed I made a video last night saying it’s official I think the Toronto Raptors how they handle the yaka peral injury which is a real injury they’re

Not faking something with Yak of purle that’s not what I was sort of saying in that video last night a lot of people don’t watch the videos beyond the first couple minutes so if you’re watching this far you’re probably probably not even talking to you but basically the Toronto Raptors

Without the sort of big man situation that they have I mean we’re going to lose games if we don’t have a center if we don’t have a proper for front Court in place no matter how good quickly RJ Scotty are this season so I think the

Raptors are going to see EAS the bring back yakap purle probably slowly push to the bottom we’re losing games left right and Center here now at this point I mean I would not be shooked and from how we played against the Memphis gz Le if this

Team is sort of going in that direction maybe rest y yakap purle for longer take his injury a bit more serious so I mean that’s sort of whatever the case but if that’s going to be the case we need to really push for the ball the Hornets are

Below us the we just passed the Grizzlies and sort of the tank ofon standings the Blazers are there the Hornets getting rid of Terry rosair is only going to make it more difficult for the the Toronto Raptors to sort of catch the Charlotte Hornets in the tanking

Standing Lelo ball has been injured for a lot of the season so he’s been a guy that has helped them win some games as of late so we’re rooting for the Charlotte horns to win games rooting for the Blazers to win games the Grizzlies the Hawks all the teams are kind of

Around us in the standings if the Raptors do end up tanking if we do go with that approach so that’s one other thing to keep an eye on with this trade but the next thing we’re taking a look at is this would have change everything for the Toronto Raptors and basically

Martian Gortat had a really wild interview you know breaking down NBA career and stuff that’s happening he was asked on a regret that he had over the course of his career and obviously Martian Gortat is a longtime rival with the Toronto Raptors him and yonas used

To go out at a bunch the Wizards we matched up with them in the playoffs multiple times while Gortat was a center for Washington and there was always a little bit of uh you know it’s not there anymore but a little bit of bad BL up between the Raptors Bradley Beal talking

Smack to Dear all those types of things well Martian Gortat actually had the opportunity to join the Toronto Raptors as he came out is there anything you wish you changed in your career Gortat said I wish that after I was waved by the Clippers I had gone to the Toronto

Raptors they called me six times and I didn’t go I had been I could have been an NBA champion today instead I decided to go to Golden State and they lied to me they said no no no we don’t need a big we are going to take this small guy

You got to you got to take an additional guard and two or three weeks later they signed Andrew bogot from the Australian League that hurts so I mean it is what it is martian Gortat messed up your rival with the Toronto Raptors he didn’t want to join us I

Remember those rumors he probably made videos on Martian Gortat joinan the Toronto Raptors back at that time and apparently it almost happened but he decided for it to not be the case and I love to see I because one apparently that day you know looking back at the timelines I was looking at

Sort of stuff you know that go Soul trade I’m not sure if that goes through if we get Gort to they believed in maybe the JV sort of uh Ibaka front court that was going on there they wanted more depth of front Court I guess it would have happened regardless that JV great

You know Gort toop back there for insurance but again we ended up going the direction of Eric Morland who was a player that didn’t do much didn’t do anything but Gortat especially where he does have a bit of a rival with the Tron Raptors probably wasn’t to get a lot of

Minutes may have stunk up the locker room a little bit and that season everything was so close right we were one shot away from beating the Philadelphia 76ers and that uh that or from losing to the Sixers we ended up beating them obviously I mean with

Gortat on the roster maybe we don’t win that Championship maybe things don’t really work out out there so I don’t know I’m uh I’m thankful the Toronto Raptors didn’t end up making this trade or didn’t make this or Gortat ended up not signing with this team because you

Know all worked out for the best for the Toronto Raptors group but let me know what you guys think about everyone speaking out there and all these types of stuff you guys best the St subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already anyways I’m signing out cheers

The Toronto Raptors have been at the center of trade rumours in recent weeks and now another team has risen as a potential trade partner as the Miami Heat are interested in Bruce Brown. Ben Rogers breaks down why this trade could happen following the Kyle Lowry trade as well as Gortat speaking out on almost joining Toronto.

  1. I would trade Poeltl!! 100 percent!! Not because I don't like him!! He is amazing with this team!! But I believe a contender will be able to use him and we can get some assets for him a young player(s) pick(s) try and find a young centre via trade that we can pair with our young core

  2. Gortart was a idiot. Look at the 2019 raptors roster and you don't choose that with the clippers. He could've been a big gettung little minutes of the bench and ring. Fool straight up.

  3. D'Angelo Russell and Rui for Bruce brown and schroeder and a 1st round pick 2026. Use one of the 2024 draft picks for Zack eddy 🙂

  4. It's crazy how we couldn't get anywhere near an even trade for Siakam, but we should be able to get a good return for Bruce Brown. It just doesn't make sense or seem fair to me. I would love to get Klow back, but I hate that he would be coming back to such a trash team at this time.

  5. I wouldn't say the Heat did Lowry dirty. He has been highly overpaid and disappointing for the most part in Miami. No contenders would want him at his current salary, so the Heat can't be blamed for dumping him anywhere that would take him. Also, if Brown is highly coveted, I would rather see the Raps add a pick to try acquire another top notch young piece. I am not sold whatsoever on Dick becoming a valued player, so adding another kid with high potential should be a no brainer

  6. Here is a current list of teams that won't be able to sign Kyle due to the rules of being over the first Luxury Tax Apron:

    Philadelphia 76ers (maybe under the tax apron after completed trades, they weren't at the beginning of the season though)
    Denver Nuggets
    Milwaukee Bucks
    Phoenix Suns
    Boston Celtics
    Los Angeles Clippers
    Golden State Warriors

    Also Miami Heat (can't resign him if waived – general rule)

    : No team above the first luxury tax apron can sign any player that is waived during the season that makes over the mid level exception. Mid Level exception is currently 12.2m, Kyle's current contract is 29.8m

    Kyles salary of 29.8m is going to be hard to trade especially as Charlotte will not be able to package any of their players with him. May require a 3rd team to get Kyle to a destination he would prefer, or Charlotte giving up picks which I highly doubt they would be willing to do.

    I expect Charlotte to buy him out as his contract is off the books in the off-season and see Kyle signing with either the Knicks, Pelicans, Thunder or Timberwolves. Pelicans may be the favourites as they could potentially offer him the most and already have roster spots available. Obviously Philly if Philly is under the tax apron…OG, JV, Pascal, and Nick might be giving him a call right now. lol

  7. Why would we want to get below those teams in losses this year? According to every draft expert, this years draft is pretty bad overall and if we keep our pick this year than next years pick might go to the Spurs and next year is a very deep draft where we would like to keep our pick more for.

  8. If the Raps are discussing trades with Miami involving Bruce Brown, then they should consider Nikola Jovic along with 1st rd picks

  9. Bro kyle wouldnt even come off the bench despite knowing he wasnt playing remotely good he rather hurt the team just to say he started than help us win he did miami dirty.
    Yall not getting jovic for bruce brown

  10. I like Kyle Lowry he's smart and has a championship ring unlike some alphagettis on the Heat roster that want to fight with the coach and probably many of them want to kick the coach out…that's my opinion.

  11. 😂keep dream you’re not getting jovic. The Miami heat will walk away from this trade if they think they will get jovic

  12. THE BUCK GM KNOWS HOW TO RUN A TEAM THEY JUST FIRED THEIR HEAD COACH NOT LIKE THE RAPTORS GM THE RAPTORS R WORSE THAT LAST YEAR THE RAPTORS NEED TO FIRE THE HEAD COACH ONLY THING THE RAPTORS COACH IS GOOD AT IS CALLING TIMEOUTS

  13. As much as us Toronto fans would live Kyle back in a Raps uniform.. doubt Kyle has much interest in coming back here. There is nothing left in the Raptors past that Kyle has any ties with.. new coach, new staff, new players, etc.. Aside from maybe Ujiri why would Kyle want to play for the Raps again when he can just come back for one day and retire as a Raptor?

  14. Wasn’t sure where to put this so I’ll put it here …

    If you take out the 4 pt game, in RJ’s last 8 games he’s averaging 25 PPG! Star J!
