When going over his background, I mention in the video that Bob McCown worked for TSN. While this is true, he is best known for being a host on the “Prime Time Sports” talk show that was under the Sportsnet umbrella for a long period. Probably would have been more relevant to mention that than his stint on TSN, my bad there.
I'm surprised that Maple Leafs execs from the 90's have such solid raptors info to slip Bob.
Fred can gtfo as far as I'm concerned. Get rid of that ball hog shot bricker asap. It seems like the whole team is pissed off at him.
I don't trust Bob as a source
Unfortunately, If there’s one source I trust, it’s Bob McGowan.
Not trying to undermine your sentiments about him, but he’s oldschool. He’s not the type to do stuff for clicks. Even if hes not in the ‘scene’ as much these days, there’s very few media people in Canada who have the connections and respect that BobCat does. I guess we won’t know until we see what happens at the deadline, but McGowan is about as credible as anyone in the business
False Rumors!!
Trade Freddy and pascal keep og and built around sccotie , og and Tren since they all close to the age og has more to give still to young
Can we trade someone for some picks we need another 1st round pick in this year's draft
OG for Shaedon Sharpe Josh Hart and some picks lets get it done Masai ujiri!
I don’t blame him for wanting to leave this team .
He prolly wants out because he feels he’s underpaid and under appreciated and can’t take another step because pascal and Fred are just gatekeeping him. I’ve been saying this time and time again. It’s time to trade pascal and Fred. OG Scottie and Trent new core and add Peices around them.
I remember Bob and those dark colored glasses. Not surprising to hear that OG wants out, heck he could be the #1 option on a lot of average teams, that's if hes just looking for a 💰 and who can blame the kid, he's got a ring already. He needs to be involved in the offence more if Toronto wants to keep him.
I'd believe it. If this was mid-October I'd have called bullshit, because we fans were sold on the idea that this team was going to be a contender (by players & media). With how well we played in the later part of last season, and our player development had worked it's magic over the summer, it looked like the table was set to have one of our best years yet. With how this team has shown itself to be the opposite of all that this season, I wouldn't be surprised if all the players wanted to be traded from this bottom-feeder team. Stagnate offence, lack of consistent shooting from deep, lack of a descent big body Center, lack of consistent defense… this team just has too many holes to plug and not enough time or willingness to spend the money to fix all these problems. Not to mention NN's schemes are just not working with this bunch this year, or he may have simply lost the confidence of his players. I don't know… but something is seriously broken with this team and one or two trades isn't going to move the needle for us to even make the playoffs. It's a bad year to be a Raptors fan. Could be worse…Detroit, Orlando, Houston fans have been experiencing this type of season for many years. I won't miss any of their games and will continue to root for them because this is my team, but it's time to face it folks…this year is a lost season.
Im not buying in to these reports.
Ben doesn’t want anyone traded but wants the roster improved, smh.
Naaaaaa
Guy got PAID big $$ by Clippers owner
Tank. OG is better player than Barnes
Keep OG, Trade Fred at the deadline and Siakiam in the summer, I would fire Nurse and the Australian offensive coach and hire Earl Watson as interim coach and then hire Udoka in the off-season. Nurse and Vanvleet have both become so Toxic it’s getting ridiculous.
Bob McCowen, is a very credible source. He was the reporter, that most often got interviews with Masai, and Bobby. Bob, seemed very disappointed with the news himself. The Raps were shopping OG around in the summer, with rumors that he was not happy with his role. The OG rumors started up again, as people are talking during the trade deadline. Where there is smoke their is fire.
In Nick Nurses book, he wrote about OG complaining about Fred, and his selfish ball hogging ways twice. I think OG complained about it again this summer. Management approached Fred, and told him he will have to play off the ball. Maybe they thought that would solve the problem. However, since Spicy got injured, Fred went back to his ball hogging ways. I am assuming OG just has had enough, and asked for a trade. I think that may of triggered management, regarding the Fred problem. I would not be surprised if Masai, told Fred, they are looking to trade him. That could be why Fred just fired his agent. Fred, has just become toxic to the teams morale. He can't go soon enough.
Sorry Ben, but you don't know McCowen. He is in a different league than a Grange, and always verifies his sources. Bob, covers all sports, and NBA is not where he is the most knowledgeable. However Raps fans respect him because he has great sources, and verifies them. Some may call him controversial, because he is not afraid to directly ask the questions, that suck ups like Grange won't ask.
I want a promising young player for pascal or anunoby like for example anfernee simmons or Benedict
Masai get selfish Fred outta here keep OG
Fred missing & taking to many shots is the part of the problem, sign & trade fred for Ben Simmons, sign OG for 24 million now
If this is true Scottie is not going to be happy
been saying this trade sisksm and Fred… they r gonna hurt our caps… so we can pay og and others
Bob mckown was the most popular sports broadcaster in toronto from 1978-2015. Yhen he got into with woke rogers. Not friggen tsn as this guys says lol. Bob has more connections then anyone in toronto . So what if he wants to leave. Get your draft picks and top prospects and move on.
If we do move og I want no less than a big a hot young prospect , a lottery pick and a second
At this point I'm up for trading everyone but Scottie
Fred definitely needs to go…
Keep OG!!
FVVs ball dominance causing all sorts of issues it would seem.
You really have to appreciate how talented Ben is. He keeps the discussion going non-stop for 20-30 minutes without a break. Just try and do that in front of a mirror for even 5 minutes. He does it everyday as well. Great job Ben R.
The two guys to sell high on are Pascal and FVV. OG and Barnes is the team to build around.
Why r wicked people bent on spreading fake news
Hmm what does Gary Trent and O.G. have in common, LeGM or Rich Paul which is Klutch Sports and Fred just fired🔥 his agent 🤔 connections… every thing coming full circle, is it a coup d'etat or is out-side machinery forcing a premature Raptors rebuild before the trade deadline 🤔
Oh .. what a surprise.. Another podcast comes up with news to generate traffic to their channel. I'll sit back and wait till real news breaks
Bob is a legend.. I would take his info somewhat serious – OG also looks like he wants out the way he is playing recently – He wants more touches – can’t feed everybody
send him –
The raps need to unleash OG, and he will dominate.
I can beleive you guys fall for people trying to get under our skin. These are an attempt to make sure that there is dysfunction in the organization.
Is FVV the cancer on this team? Scottie stopped following him on IG, there's the clip of GTJ walking back in disgust on defense as FVV hoists the logo 3, FVV himself saying how he was cursing everyone in training camp for lack of effort….
