Why are you obsessed with the “2 timeline thing” the age gap between Siakam and Barnes is literally closer than Butler and Bam, so unless you think the FO are too incompetent to build around the 2 properly I wouldn’t think about trading Siakam for Bridges/Ayton or whatever else garbage you ppl want him gone for
Don’t worry Raptors are going to be dangerous we are going to pick it up next season or maybe this season This is a A Process. Road to Chip😂❤😊
3 firsts for OG sounds good but if they are late first round picks it's a gamble.
If you got one good young piece with 3 firsts might just be deal
Some fans have to realize that on last year playoffs “superstar” Siakam needed the help of a rookie to win some playoffs games.
don't save the season but also do not sell if the price does not include a young promising piece and picks
So they should trade out the core players of team that won a championship 🏆 with .nah no way it's just hype .if any NBA team what's our "Raptors" players , are getting a steal… LET'S GO RAPTORS 🦖🏀🍻🇨🇦🦫🍻
I think anything beyond a retool would be counterintuitive and would fail Scottie in the long run. Scottie thrives while playing with Pascal and OG and when in competitive games. Getting rid of those players will only hurt Scottie’s development. You could absolutely retool by trading away Fred and Gary for players like Myles Turner and Dyson Daniels, not necessarily win right away but give them the rest of the season to build chemistry and see where they go, then come in next year and dominate.
I have been posting this for a while as one way to transition to a new era of Raptors basketball that builds on a core of Scottie, OG, Precious and Koloko. In addition to the new young talent that comes in these trades, the Raptors could also potentially acquire more 2023 1st round picks with these bold moves. In addition to Victor and Scoot, the other talent is looking very good in this coming draft.

Lol yeah let’s do that! We can be like OKC! It’s working out great for them! 😂😂👊🏽
Everyone just forgets the 10 plus years raptors we’re absolute garbage! Oh & pascal & Freddy already got us a championship… just in case y’all forgot
Additionally, the Raptors NEED more consistent production from the bench whether by continuously improving current players (e.g: Boucher, Achiuwa) or by trading some players in order to acquire better talent in return. There is no point in competing in the playoffs if your starting lineup is consistently playing a high volume of minutes. Having more versatility and skillset is vital.
Masai and Webster need to go !!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
I don't think need to trade PS but FVV needs to go then other players will get more touches. Barnes worked well with PS and PS proved he worked well as a duo with another star. So if Barnes can turn to star player then u've 2 dynamic duo rite away. We can just wait and see how things go in trade deadline, how the new roster work out, what player we drafted and even see how well they perform nxt yr to decide as PS contract is not up yet.
I agree with you raptors should sell
I agree. Trade everyone over 25
I love Barnes but his offensive game needs alot of work
Raptors played awesome tonight. We need to understand that this is still team of good players that may be fundamentally flawed in some way, idk. They crushed Sacramento and dominated them from the second quarter on with stifling defense. Wouldn't any team gladly take anyone on their starting lineup? Scottie, Pascal, OG, gary, vanvleet. These guys would be starters on practically any team in the league. We don't need to blow this team up. We need to swap out a few guys but anyone on the starting lineup would be a player u need to go into the post season with and contend.
Basically we don’t want to become the wizards
Liked 👍 Thanks
FVV walking with back brace support on bench
Raptors going ranked 13th eastern might as well tank
Nurse needs to get the chemistry back and build the confidence of the bench and vanvleet being too old take a look at lebron and
Kylle lowery and are still stars i would like what make ypu such a know it all
Trade siakam keep fred
Trade pascal and keep Freddy. Freddy is a good shooter, defender and fear no one leader, also valuable in locker room.
Guys, it will be regret to trade Freddy.
For Pascal, he is a great player but his attitude towards defence is blocking his growth. It’s time to be apart and let this team become SB’s team
I completely disagree with you, Luca. You must know that they’re a better team than their record. Perhaps you’ll reconsider once you’ve watched their past 3 games.
I would just trade FVV. His health, age and need for big contract drive this. Let’s say it takes SB 4 years to hit contender prime. I still think PS will be very good and able to be a 2-3 option with some decent D. If you can keep OG happy, develop everyone including PA as C/big then you do that. Now if you can get younger or a pick for Chris or Thad to a contender now I would do that too. Even if Otto ops in I would trade next year at deadline to help contender. I think FVV will be a big extremely bad contract in less than 3 years and we need to avoid that.
SB, GTJ, OG, PS and PA look very good to me! CK can help with bigger Cs as he progresses. The next 6 guys we need to build from Draft and trade assets.
