    not horrible I’m going to have to see the protection first.

    also I hope they still have plans to sell.

  2. SendThisGuyToMars

    If the pick is heavily protected, I like. If not, don’t really like. Assuming we re sign him of course

  3. GrimKaiker

    Trust in Masai

    Anyone freaking out needs to remember how sad this subreddit was when we took Barnes over Suggs

    EDIT: Yikes at the other comments here shitting on the FO. Yes, Masai is a moron all the redditors here are the real geniuses, just like on draft night

  4. Actually not bad at all. They really betting on themselves to be better next year

  5. keegsbrou

    I hope the protection on the 2024 pick is decent

  6. mykolasj

    Fuck it. If that’s the way then get some more

  7. Jaiveer17

    overall it’s not bad, khem was legit nothing for us, hopefully the protection conveys into seconds down the line or something that would be huge

  8. Honestly that’s fine. We’ve gotten shit from our seconds recently and a protected first …

  9. OfficialGreenkid

    Jak and Skills reunited, but at what cost???

  10. UjiriWatcher

    It’s not bad depending on the protection

  11. NBAPwns13

    how am i suppose to feel about this guys?

    edit: I have my Jak flare since his draft day. sheesh

  12. RichHomieAM

    If the 2024 pick is lottery protected then I’m not devastated over this tbh.

    #THIS IS WHY WE F5 ON TRADE DEADLINE DAY BOYS LFG!!!

  14. Organic_Tourist4749

    I like it. The seconds mean nothing. So a protected first for poeltl is not bad.

  15. tostilos

    That’s 3 player’s on expiring contracts now. There has to be another trade lined up right?

  16. AdvancedBasket_ND

    We turned a first rounder, and two second rounders into a player archetype weve needed for years and one that can turn us from a very bad defense to a very good one.

    The fuck u guys tripping about, we paid very little for this

  17. ogDarkShark

    This means a starter is gone most likely. He wouldn’t come off the bench

  18. NoCapNova99

    Poeltl travelling to San Antonio to pack his things then coming back here like

  19. KeyConscious9220

    I’ll wait for the other moves but getting a competent c isn’t a bad thing

  20. Dinobot2_

    Guys what if Poeltl was already on the bus out of Toronto?

  21. FolloMiSensi

    masai is giving pascal what he wants. rico, watson, and now jakob

  22. Responsible_Chain551

    depend on the protection,

    but it just mean we are going to play-in ….

    (Masai before 2023: play-in for what?)

  23. NinfthWonder

    Great trade. Khem was dead weight. I would love to know the protections on that ‘24 first rounder.
