Raptors lost no doubt.
OG's availability has to be factored into his value
I was the only one who said RJ was going to be just as important as IQ in the trade. Masai knows how to respark players
Raptors won that trade

RJ has been amazing. IQ has so much potential. dick looks solid, even though he had a soft start. jak fills his role very well. scottie is gonna be on an all nba team next year. and we got some solid bench guys. idk about gary, i still believe in him but lets get his trade value up.
Let's talk again next year when the Knicks sign OG for 37MIL per year on a multi year deal and see how things pan out for both sides
I thought it was mutually beneficial. The Siakam trade is why they seem so bad. Because not only did they lose a really good player. But it was a position they weren't deep at. Especially when Jakob was hurt for a while. Which is why I think they went after Kelly Olynyk and a young guard in Ochai. It also seems like Precious is playing the best ball of his career in NY.
A pretty even trade, both teams won the trade, in my opinion….
Always had faith RJ would improve under the Raptors. Unfortunately, Quickley will always have a poor shooting % until he slows down his release. Dude thinks he's Steph
The Raptors did in 20 games what the Knicks refused to do in 4 years and that’s let RJ play to his strengths…smh
You say we have fallen into obscurity like we arnt in a rebuild and didnt have injuries and family tragedy . Im so sick of the negativity around this team . We also made choices to clear cap space so lets wait to see what masai can put together . Gradey is now a legit nba player and is only going to get better scotty was an allstar .
Where are we going lol
Raps won the trade easy, the going Raptors haven't been "outstanding" rj and iq are clearly going to end yo head and shoulders above the package sent to the Knicks. I will laugh if OG signs in Indy lol if they can afford him.
the Siakam trade was the one that let us down. Should have gotten way more than a few picks and B Brown. Masai dropped the ball again on that one
No one won this trade. Og was my favorite Raptors from the last few years. And imo he had more value than Siakim and Vanvleet cuz he's a DPOY candidate when he's healthy… but that's the thing. He's never healthy. Idk how the Knicks are going to justify paying him 30mil annually this offseason to play 55 games a season. As for the raptors, Quickley is not as good as we thought. RJ is better than advertised but neither move the needle. They are kind of good stats, bad team guys at the moment.
What if Masai knew that core was shit prior to the start of the season. He couldn’t bet on Scottie’s improvement. Hell NYK only offered us Fournier and 3 picks ! The fact that he rode this out and got the most out of OG is great!
Didn’t get the most out of Siakam, but once we trade Bruce brown, we can talk about that trade more often.. We better accept his option as he’s the only available trade asset (even tho I hate him here)
Trading OG first got the best for this team and ultimately lowered Siakam’s value cuz everyone knew there was a fire sale about to happen
Its a massive W for the raps when OG doesn't last through the playoffs.
Knicks trade is fine for Raptors. The Siakam trade was not a good look a long time championship player. This downturn is just sickening to watch.
We won the trade … og is a waking injury, precious is inconsistent… rj is already better than Barnes and IQ is doing well
Keep building around gradey instead of Barnes and we will be in great shape
Don't pretend that the "fans" knew better they want to trade everyone after a single bad game …except Barnes…they don't want to loose the money they spent on his only fans
