What's the highest you would go on the average annual salary of Gary Trent Jr's next contract?
Gary Trent is the only one that has Put the team first by cooperating .. Dude been quiet and calm even thought the coach kept him back hell they even tanked. But media keep asking about getting rid of Jr for 3 years now. This is a witch hunt. Dude every thing you say about him will come back on Gradey who cant play defense or do anything other than shoot corner 3s
For 3 years now you guys have been guessing Trent's contract and you have always been wrong all the other peer in your podcast groups have always been wrong.
This is a dumb show Ur not smart for this this is a tank season
your willing to screw up team to clear way for 6 pt a game rookie.
When everyone was hurt who was scoring 30 a game
who was playing with the worst bench in the league, Who on the Raptors did well playing with the worst bench in the league…. No one and that's a fact. Thats why Trent didn't do well be cause no one else even Scottie didn't. Check the plus minus FACTS
Trent's contract is reasonable especially when the cap keeps going up. We need diversity in the media to hear truthfulness and not favoritism
You add to. These are way to many year of talking subtraction. Good teams add to, Raptors keep subtracting as If no one here ever went to school/
Who would you prefer to pay 20+mill Gary or Bruce? Me personally I’d rather have a player like Gary on our team than Bruce. Mind you Toronto doesn’t attract many players
Shooters like Duncan Robinson, Davis Bertans, and Joe Harris all got paid and look what happened. Even though Trent is a better defender than all of them, it does not make up for his streaky shooting. He's a Terrence Ross with average athleticism at best.
We always got the same thoughts. Didnt even watch the video and had the same opinion. Spot on analysis
To me ujiri and Webster should be traded and gtj should stay. After all gtj is a real baller ujiri and Webster are NOT. Matter of fact they are two LOSERS.
Take a pass on Gary. He is what he is, a streaky shooter. Put that money into a wing.
First of all this s a inconsistent no defense shot chucker league. You cannot empty out Europe on that while dissing American player on a tanking team where player was charge with cheating and gambling . Knowing this team also threw games and bench players. Why not asked if they told some players to miss.
If I was tanking I would miss too. to be upset at a guy helping us receive top pick in the draft
The first 15 years of the Raptors existence was Karma don't go there again
Masai i found the ultimate 2024 free agents 3 point shnipers off the bench
#1 6 foot 9 Jalen Smith 42.5% 3pt 5 million
#2 6 foot 9 Obi Toppin 40.3% 3pt 5 million
#3 6 foot 7 Sam Hauser 42% 3pt 1.9 million
#4 24 Yo Isaiah Joe 41% 3pt 1.9 million 4:56
In my opinion only way to do a sign with trent is a sign in trade for a starting pf . Raptors can try to find a player they can use as a rotation player in the draft. Start olynyk barnes barrett dick quickley
You outlined all his flaws and then pay him $20 mil max? For Gary?!?! That would be an insane overpay. I don't want him back but if he did return…. $12 mil a year for 2 yrs, team option for a 3rd year
Damn I already miss raptors ball.
Wiggins not necessarily a good fit unless we can get him on a team friendly deal 😅
Gary should be offered 4 years 60 M with team option in last year
Not paying over 20 mil for Trent, sign LeBron 3 years 25 million and draft Bronny
GARY TRENT JR choose the right team for you who will appreciate you and you
have our support ❤🔥🥵🌠💞
He’s worth the mid level exception.
no more than jak is getting paid (per year). 2 years max.
$45 million over 3 years with a player option.
$0. Why would you resign Gary when u already paying RJ and Gradey and need to resign Quickley. Doesn't make sense. Let him walk, it is what it is.
