I will be discussing the latest rumors surrounding the Toronto Raptors and there are rumors coming out reported by Jake WeinBach that the Raptors are a team to keep an eye on regarding the Damian Lillard Sweepstakes. I will be discussing if the Raptors should trade for Damian, what they may have to give up and whether this make sense for the Raptors.

What are your thoughts on the Raptors, potentially trading for Damian? Make sure to check out the Trivia question at the end of the video!
Interesting The Raptors could sure use someone like Lillard but I don't want the Raptors to give up too much for him
For trivia, the answer is D. Koloko
As far as Dame is concerned, not sure if Raps wanna get involved in the drama. Getting a shooter/playmaker in a 3-team deal is a different story though
Iām sorry, but I donāt agree with you because I think that youāre not looking at the big picture if itās just great to get rid of Pascal even if we have to let him walk because he is one of the cancers that we had along with Freddie Vanvleet, who is the biggest cancer on the team Keep 0G he is your future and a better player on defence. Oh geez, one of the best defenders in the league right now better than what youāve ever given thought.
Koloko
it doesn't matter he doesn't want to play for any other team it would be a nightmare you need to do more research next time
Blazers in a difficult position and it sounds like you have the Raptors negotiating against themselves. Not looking to steal Dame but nobody else has the assets to make a deal work. Patience grasshoppers. Patience.
it's loco Koloko
Thanks for the great info have a good day my friend
Do it!!!!!! I love OG and Chris but you have to give up a stud to get a stud, this would be a win win
What about that Monster contract he hasā¦.
Why would we trade for anybody? It wonāt get us a championship and Lillianās wonāt get one on the team that heās onā¦ weāll end up trading for another one year rental who we canāt pay
Comes down to math re salaries. Lillard has a high paying annual contract so the players traded away have to total the same or higher amount. Toronto is very close to being taxed re team total so there must be a balance currently.
OG also though an excellent defender and rebounder has one problem. For every 2 good plays he makes he also does a bad one. Example like tripping of the lines on the court when he back into the paint, so frustrating to watch at times.

It may not happen as DL will not want to pay >50% income tax on $45M. May be perfect time to deal oft injured OJ. Great analysis Prab
the management of salary is a major issue for this front office, they have to make a decision now, rather than later and a Dame trade is not going magically fix uneven roster Masai constructed, and Portland will want half this team and multiple years picks(which this team doesn't have)…if Pascal doesn't want to sign an extension offer which is cheaper 305 million if he make all NBA and you can trade him later or move him for what you can get now, because you don't want another Vanvleet situation to deal with, f**K his threats of not wanting to resign with another team, hats their problem at that point, it's business.
Make that trade asap
I am ok with Daiman trade as long as we don't ytafw Scottie. And we should all try one more time for next 2 seasons.
OG and Gary for Dame Time
Liked š Thanks
Great show
Pascal is the definition of an iso scorer.
OG, Boucher, Thad and Dick for Lillard… Starters: Lillard, GTJ, Barnes, Siakam, Poeltl. Bench Mob: Flynn, Schroder, McDaniels, Porter Jr, Achiuwa, Koloko, Temple. Plus, Raps could sign some free agents like Terrence Ross, Jaylen Nowell, Bismack Biyombo, Kelly Oubre, Terrence Davis, Serge Ibaka to fill out roster for the vet minimum.
No donāt trade for him. Heās not Kawhi and he doesnāt have championship experience. Raptors should do a three way trade with a Miami and Portland thatās all. Do not trade our draft picks too. Iām not giving up dick and Barnes.
