#TorontoRaptors vs. Utah Jazz Summer League Preview! #OchaiAgbaji , #JakobeWalter , #JamalShead !!!!
good morning Raptor Freaks Like seats here it is uh Wednesday morning and we have a game today summer league game played today by the Toronto Raptor summer league team against the Utah Jazz summer league team 5:00 P PM uh Eastern Time start so hopefully people can be ready to be there for that time at 5:00 pm today I’ve looked at the Jazz summer league roster and it’s different than it was the beginning of the summer league Walker Kessler is not playing for them anymore in summer league at this point so is keonte George is not playing for them also so there’s a couple of players that are uh you know not going to be available for the Jazz that they had earlier in the summer league so no Kessler no keonte George and uh Trevor Jay went to a a Utah Jazz Summer League game in the last two days and he said he wasn’t that impressed with them that they’re not as dangerous as we think well I still think we need to be up for them they’re one and one in their summer league record um and the one game they did win they barely won just so you know they won by like two points or something like that so looking at the Utah Jazz’s summer league team we’ve got uh basically the guy who’s kind of been around the longest is Darius basley that’s a guy who’s been in the league for like five years he’s 24 years old and uh yeah he’s been in the league for quite a while and he is the the veteran on this team he’s not been the league leading score though the draft picks for this year have been the leaders for this team in particular uh the people that are leading this team are actually Cody Williams the brother of Jaylen Williams of Oklahoma City Thunder is their leading scorer in summer league right now followed by Kyle F filipowski filipowski has been playing very well for them in summer league so far and then the third player is Isaiah Collier the other uh draft pick that the Jazz had this uh this past draft also so those are their three main guys right now Cody Williams the brother of jayen Williams the good Jaylen Williams on Oklahoma City uh Phil filipowski and Isaiah Coler and those guys are all brand new of course guys from last year that are around are like Bryce sensah uh Kenny Lofton Jr are on this team also Kenny Lofton Jr dropping a lot of weight and looking a lot more uh agile uh that coming back that he heard the the grumblings and the criticisms about him last year and well he’s done some work on his body to be in better shape this year so Kenny Lofton Jr Darius basley Jason Preston Tyler Hendricks uh Tavon Kinsey Bryce sensah ma Max aams uh Armando bot Isaiah CER Kyle filipowski kishan Justice Josh Pierre Louie babacar s and Cody Williams that’s the team right there babacar was actually on the G League ignite last year also so yeah they’re one and one and uh like I said Cody Williams is averaging 17 and a half points in two games so far for them Philip palski 11 and a half points in two games for them so yeah I’m not as worried about them without Kessler Kessler is a big problem in some ways but not really I guess if we have Carlson now so yeah Kessler’s not playing and keontay George is not playing either and those are the two best players for summer league for them so there there you go there’s a little bit of a scout on the Utah Jazz team we’re going be playing today I feel real good I feel like we should do well there’s no real word on whether uh Grady or Jonathan will be playing today from their injuries in the last summer league game uh there was a question asked by ail Austine to Jama in the uh the practice interview yesterday and he couldn’t say he said that they want he wants them to come in and shoot around this morning and uh put up shots see how they feel and then we’ll see whether Grady and Jonathan play he said they it sounded like both of them were about the same place as far as probability for the game today so I would say don’t worry about playing Grady go ahead and let him sit and some ways I’ve seen enough a Grady in summer league you don’t have to play him for the rest of Summer League if he can be helpful to beat the Miami Heat on Friday okay then we’ll go ahead and play him then but maybe today let him take the day off against Utah mobo now if he’s ra able to play go ahead and put him out there he’s he’s a young guy and in some ways if he’s just kind of hurt go ahead and put him out there I I don’t think we should worry about uh him getting further injured knock on wood because I don’t think that’s what gonna be the case with this so yeah I’m excited about the game today I am very much needing a distraction looking forward to the 5:00 pm Eastern start for this summer league game today at uh uh in Los Vegas against the Utah Jazz for the Toronto Raptors yeah they’ve had some really good practices in the last couple days Jama saying that he’s watched a lot of tape with OSI abaji in the last couple days over the first two Summer League games and they’re trying to find a good spacing for him they’re going to try and put him in the small pocket they’re going to do some other stuff they uh him going on and on about osi’s great cutting ability and how it’s topnotch and how the Raptors need to figure out more ways to utilize aag’s great great cutting ability so it’s exciting they had a nice interview with aaji himself he said you know he actually admitted he has not played up to the level that he wanted to play at summer league so far that’s that’s fine man don’t worry about it don’t be too hard on yourself you’re doing fine summer league is a little chaotic and in some ways you trying to figure out what you’re going to do with some of the other guys that just showed up and they don’t know what the [ __ ] they’re doing well it’s understandable if you’re not marking every single thing in some ways the things you’re doing aaji in this summer league is to uh you know discover more about your offense now I can tell you’ve bulked up you’re even stronger than you were last season I can also tell that you know your commitment to being at summer league right now speaks a lot for itself right there so don’t be so hard on yourself is what I would say about that they had uh who was the other interview they had yesterday I believe it was Carlson again they’ve been having Carlson come out and talk a few times Carlson very thrilled about the things that have been happening for him and getting the chances of course Jama going on about how he’s been a real surprise on the defensive end you know they knew about the threes in fact that was part of the reason why they were interested in getting them but the the blocks have been Sensational and they’re really really happy about this sometimes when you get a player like uh Brendan Carlson you’re not sure if his slender frame will translate to being able to do that kind of stuff on the higher levels well it’s timing and in some ways Carlson said yesterday that he takes pride in being a shop blocker and that this is something he’s done for the last five years for the Utah youths that it matters to him he really takes a lot of pride in this so he has a lot of uh experience knowing when to go for it and when not to and when you get in that bad Zone you don’t need to be doing it so I really like that about Carlson he’s a he’s a confident shot blocker and in some ways he understands what it takes to get a clean block without getting the foul and he also understands when to just hedge and show length and not take the block shot block so yeah Carlson’s Advanced and in some ways Brendan Carlson is showing that you know the old way of going to college for five years or four years does actually really prepare you for the NBA better than just jumping in the NBA after one year or something like that so I I’m really really appreciative of Carlson and once again he said that the Raptors were the team that took the most interest in him and that’s why he’s with us so kudos to our scouting department and our front office for making Carlson feel important because that’s part of why he chose us and in some ways other teams they dropped the ball they didn’t come see him enough they didn’t make him feel special well MSI did and that’s why Carlson’s wearing a Raptor’s Jersey some people are confused because yesterday the Raptors signed Jameson battle yes yes because I was saying this I was like last year was mohammadu year before that was Jeffrey dton Jr well in summer league so far the star that has shown the brightest to be like we need to get this guy on the team has been Jameson battle an absolute bucket uh money three a very professional player making his free throws playing at a very professional way where he’s not making a lot of mistakes I love it well he got rewarded yesterday with an exhibit 10 to be invited to our training camp to try and make our full roster if not that he will be on 905 and playing for the Raptors 905 in Miss Saga regardless good job Ohio State’s Jameson battle in some ways people were confused and the comments is like well now do Carlson I’m like wait whoa y’all are not paying attention are you Carlson’s already done he’s on a two-way he’s going to be with us no matter what some people are worried like oh no battles why are you doing battle do Carlson what no Carlson’s already done pay attention watch the Raptor freak Channel that’s what I would say to those people all right let’s get into the chat and let’s do all the things we do on the Raptor freak live daily morning stream that’s right Monique is first in this morning we’ love to see the Super Fan the greatest Monique Lawrence let’s see what she’s saying good morning Raptor freak family Happy game day congratulations Jameson battle on signing an exhibit 10 95 be ready and thank you Gary Trent Jr for everything you did for the Raptors this finally happened Gary signed a contract with the Milwaukee Bucks yesterday for one year for only 2.9 Million yeah that’s a real huge pay cut from this last year’s 18 million that he made that’s crazy that’s just just how it is well Gary apparently turned down contracts from other teams for multi- years for more money he specifically chose the the bucks on purpose and he took way less money and for one year because he’s trying to fix his value and that’s smart he chose the Bucks partly because of Lillard apparently that uh he did really enjoy playing with Damen Lillard when he was in Portland with him and now he’s reunited with him there Bucks fans are very happy about this deal very very happy you got a really good three-point shooter for very cheap and it’s very lucky for y’all y’all have been losing a lot in the last year with your front office decisions and some of the dumbass things y’all been doing well this is a win for bucks Nation getting Gary Trent Jr on a very cheap contract for one year King Bolton very happy on Twitter saying now re’s only six hours away a six-h hour drive from Minnesota to Milwaukee to be able to watch Gary play yeah he’s happy about that I I gave my regards to King Bolton and saying I appreciated meeting you this past season in the arena and uh want you to tell Gary all the best and the best things for him going forward maybe when we play him he doesn’t have to play so good how about that Raptor Nation will always appreciate and honor and be very thankful for the legacy of the Trent family that senior and Jr came here and played for our team and who knows maybe one of the younger brothers of Gary Trent Jr will be on the Raptors at someday also who knows who knows those kids are coming up too Grayson and Garrison and and them but yes with in Gary Trent well it’s too bad it couldn’t be worked out with us but in some ways you know even if we had that money to do that in some ways this is this is what it was Gary needed the fit and the the Milwaukee fit is I hate in some ways that he’s a Eastern Conference rival but I also say this we’ve always beat the [ __ ] out of the Milwaukee Bucks so I’m not afraid of them I’m not afraid of them even in our state that we’re in at this point yeah yeah really really happy for Jameson battle he’s proof that if you do things the right way you work hard and you do good things in a good way you will get rewarded and Jameson battle hanging around and being around the Raptors and our organization is just smart he’s done so well in the first two Summer League games they didn’t even wait sometimes they’ll do this at the end of the summer league no you did so good we only need to see two Summer League games you get what you get that’s awesome uh Monique saying awesome practice interviews from Brandon Carlson osai and Jama of course Jamal shed justo dropped his Draft Day experience video yesterday Jama on TSN overdrive yesterday too that’s actually not what that clip is Mo you got to watch it it’s about his last year at Houston and getting uh hurt in the in the in the game there’s a lot of interviews with his father and his sister and some other family members and teammates talking about Jamal it’s a very well put together piece it’s on the level of open gym production and I think it’s awesome in some ways Jamal shed is introducing himself to Raptor Nation by putting out a very high quality production telling his story you know I went and looked more at Jamal’s college career and I found out the exact record he had at Houston he was 120 wins and 18 losses the whole time he was at Houston the four years he was there that’s a winner 120 wins only lost 18 times while he wore that Houston Cougars Jersey and more and more I’s see the parallels between him and our our point guards of the past van vet and Lowry and uh Jamal shed you are awesome your father is an amazing man I can tell he’s a cool dude and the way that your family supports you and looks out for you is awesome but you’re a real one I can tell there’s something different about Jamal shed and if you want to learn more about it check out his his his first episode of his own open gy series on his uh uh website I don’t know we’ll find the link if Tommy’s around maybe somebody could drop it in the the chat for people to find but yeah Jamal shed with open gym like stuff coming out but really Mo it wasn’t about draft day so much it was actually about his last year at at Houston and and playing the hurt and getting hurt in a very important game so yeah it was good stuff good stuff for sure uh most saying jonte Porter you’re a big idiot and the only thing you’re going to do go to Greece is to clean up dog [ __ ] I’m gonna give you a five-pointer for this because you have shot fir on the person I’m going to shoot some fire fire some shots at right now real quick now that you’ve given me the Q card yeah we had more Jon news yesterday and thankfully it didn’t get dragged out and it came to a conclusion very quickly yesterday yeah it’s really funny what we’re gonna say mo I’m giving you a five-pointer because what you’re saying right there is hilarious to me you’re exactly right and uh yeah I don’t understand this guy this guy has no remorse about what he’s done this guy is disconnected from reality call it gambling addiction call it oh he’s just an idiot he doesn’t know what he’s doing I don’t know he is a dumbass he very much is a dumb ass at this point I don’t think that he thinks that laws and rules in the world apply to him that’s the problem with some of these people in the 1% the rich people like Donald Trump don’t think rules and laws apply to them Jon Porter who the [ __ ] do you think you are that you could go to the judge yesterday with your lawyer and ask for the right to go play internationally in Greece before your trial in December seriously who the [ __ ] do you think you are seriously do you think you’re Bryant do you think you’re LeBron no you’re nobody you never established your NBA career because you [ __ ] it up right when it was stared they don’t have the bend over backwards for you that you could go to the judge and say oh my client wants to continue his professional career as a professional basketball he’s never been a professional basketball player and he’s exiled in dishonor so you can’t make the argument lawyer that he needs to have the ability to continue his job because his job never was professional basketball player it was masquerading as a g-league player and a degenerate Gambler in the background the audacity of jonte Porter to go to a courtroom yesterday and sit in there and ask them to let him play in Greece is disgusting this man does not understand what he did he’s [ __ ] with the whole entire league when he does [ __ ] like this he just wants a little slap on the wrist you go play in [ __ ] Greece you stupid ass dumbass jonte Porter piece of the [ __ ] who the [ __ ] do you think you are the judge told your ass judge Hall thank you ma’am you are not going anywhere young man you dumbass piece of [ __ ] you think you could go to [ __ ] Greece after you [ __ ] ruined the sanctity of [ __ ] the sport of the NBA you think you can [ __ ] go to Greece you piece of [ __ ] no you can’t the judge agrees with me who the [ __ ] do you think you are why would they let you go there you could have gone and just hide oh I’m Greece now I’m not coming back I know they’re going to throw me in federal prison oh my gosh he’s like he wants to go there and Unite with his wife who’s pregnant and live some sort of storybook life forget about his [ __ ] dumbass mistakes this year and [ __ ] just go off in the sunset you’re a [ __ ] idiot johnon you are so [ __ ] stupid you were one of the dumbest people I’ve ever [ __ ] ever known about in my life that you do not understand what you did I don’t believe jack [ __ ] when they tell me he’s rehabilitating that they’re saying he’s going in to get some help for his gambling addiction I don’t believe that [ __ ] I don’t think he has any remorse I don’t think he’s getting any help because if somebody was getting help they’d understand the gravity of how much they did damage and they wouldn’t be thinking that they’re owed a [ __ ] right to go play in [ __ ] Greece professionally this [ __ ] summer you [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] jonte Porter dumbass [ __ ] who the [ __ ] do you think you are you’re nobody you’re a [ __ ] footnote you’re a joke you’re a [ __ ] disgrace and it’s an insult to everybody in the world that you think you could just brush this off your shoulder and [ __ ] take off the Greece and play there nah what the [ __ ] you go over there okay maybe Greece is corrupt maybe they don’t give a [ __ ] maybe they’re just like yeah vov we gonna get them oh bante we don’t give a [ __ ] maybe they don’t give a [ __ ] and they be like yeah we don’t care if you’re a gambling degenerate piece of [ __ ] jonte Porter come on over seriously who the [ __ ] do you think you are jont and that judge you oh my god thank you judge for the [ __ ] sanity of this you need to go to prison for like four years seriously I’m not joking they want to make an example they need to because young players are going to do this [ __ ] that you did if they see you get a slap on the wrist and nothing they will continue to do this [ __ ] so you have to be the example jonte you dumb ass has stepped in it so [ __ ] cleanly and it’s all over your [ __ ] feet and it smells like [ __ ] and you can’t even deny that you’re not guilty because you’re [ __ ] guilty as [ __ ] there’s no weirdness about whether you’re guilty or not we all know you’re [ __ ] guilty and you think you can [ __ ] just get a slap on the wrist and go to [ __ ] Greece and play no dog N Dog N and the judge agrees with me the judge agrees with me all right I’m G turn down a ratchet to real quick I want to get that out and I’m going to say this also that wasn’t just because of jonte I have other things in my life I want to rage on right now and I took a little bit of it out on him just now just so you know yeah all right I think that may have been the most intense freakout I’ve ever done on this channel there you go thank you Monique for your comment I appreciate you very very very very very much yeah all right let’s see cream’s here let’s see what he’s saying full ass what are you saying today full ass yeah yeah yeah I watched 48 minutes of Jameson battle highlights last night I’m convinced that he absolutely belongs in rotations with the big Squad he’s the shooter we’ve always wanted how did he go undrafted I don’t know once again we see this guy Carlson we see this guy battle and we’re like wow Messi and Bobby are badasses yeah no battle’s awesome it’s weird too because he’s Ohio State it’s not like that’s a little school and nobody sees that school I don’t know what’s going on with NBA GMS I don’t get it I mean in some ways I get maybe that he’s under sized in some way I don’t think he is though what position is he he could be a two or a three six foot seven shoots threes I mean he’s working out there he doesn’t uh uh not try on defense so I don’t I don’t see problems with him so I’m with you when I watched his highlights from college I was like wow this guy actually is pretty good good I didn’t think it would translate so well to the summer league like it has maybe part of it is that uh Jameson has seen that Brass Ring in front of him and he said this is the time to go and I’m gonna make the best of my uh uh chance to make the Raptors and he is killing it it could be that it just happens to coincide with the hot streak that he’s on right now and that’s why he’s shooting so well for some I hope that’s not true I hope that he’s just this way and this is just a normal setting for Jameson battle I don’t know either way he’s getting the opportunity he’s taking advantage of it and he’s running away with it and I appreciate messiri and Bobby Webster recognizing this and rewarding him right now yeah let’s not [ __ ] with this somebody could try and come and get him and the Raptor’s like no we got him he’s here and I agree with this he’s amazing and we’ll have to see how he develops over the years let’s not get ahead of ourselves it’s each and every step each and every step for each one of these young guys who are coming to the Raptors this summer they’ve got to go through each of the steps and they’re young and in some ways everything in its right order jacobe Walter Brandon Carlson Jamal shed Alish kiche Jameson battle everything in its right order and let’s be patient with them we’ll see what happens David’s here dapping in so we got the commissioner trivia let’s do the classic car of the day now that I’m right and proper warmed up and fired up here yeah let’s see what we get today yeah I apologize if I scared anyone with my anger jonte really pissed me off yesterday seriously I couldn’t believe believe that story when I saw that I’m like who the [ __ ] does he think he is seriously oh man and when I saw Med like later on the night I saw the actual Court Document where they denied him I was like yes yes in some I don’t want to be punitive but this dude made our team look really bad in fact there’s still people making jokes about this you know they see Brandon Carlson and it’s like yeah great Raptors you got a new Young Center let’s hope they don’t gamble their life away yeah see he’s making us a punchline in certain ways jonte Porter you piece of [ __ ] dumbass [ __ ] who should have never [ __ ] came to Raptors you degenerate Gambler you [ __ ] face all right here we go here’s the classic C of the day don’t half ask me like jonte half asked his NBA career and [ __ ] it up before it even started yeah here we go all right this is an old Hoops card which is fun because I have this set I actually have this card in a set in a binder somewhere here we go does anybody know who that is this is a little bit weird yeah this a little bit weird this may be a little bit hard guys I want to see if you guys can get this one does anyone know who that is we know the team we know the position but does anybody know who that is look at that smooth does now uh the spelling’s not exactly right but I would give it to him David is Mike jinsky the m is before the I uh GM i n s k i yeah 100 points a smooth this is a pretty tough one Dave is right now see there’s Mike look Mike Mike’s a kind of handsome guy he looks like one of the guys from Miami Vice with Don Johnson and uh Philip Michael Thomas you know the fat guy that’s in the the in the in the other cop you know you know what I’m talking about yeah Mike jinsky was actually a starter for the Sixers at Center so he wasn’t like a total uh scrub like big man scrub at the end of the bench he actually did some good stuff yeah jinsky jinsky good job smooth brown man king of the classic card the smooth brown man that’s right that is right yeah all right let me see let me see what else we’re saying today Monique is saying the guy that said Raptors don’t have any dogs on their team is signing a overseas love it bye Pat be no one wants your ass in the NBA boom goes a dynamite Mon’s on fire today monik is on fire we got all kinds of shots to fire today and I I she’s just giving me the Q card on the next one all right Mo I’m gonna give you another five-pointer you’re 116 now Monique is jumping up quick real high up on the ranks real quick all right it came out yesterday that Patrick Beverly has signed with a team in Europe but that’s not true and I don’t understand why people out there are trying to equate this this is actually some sort of scop [ __ ] to try and say that Israel is in Europe that’s [ __ ] up that is not the geographic location of where the league that Patrick Beverly is gonna go play in in some ways Patrick Beverly you sorry ass piece of [ __ ] you want to go get genocide money you go [ __ ] go get it that’s what I’ll say about that no the whole thing about his people renouncing that he’s going to Europe to play is absolute farce and full of [ __ ] Israel is not in Europe it’s a scops way that they try and make you think it’s something else than it is so yeah whatever Pat Beverly you want to be a part of that whatever whatever and you’re exactly right Mo’Nique this this guy is such a joke Patrick belly he talked all this mad [ __ ] he [ __ ] was disrespectful to reporters in the the The Press Room and the locker room after the games said all kinds of crazy [ __ ] and now he’s going off in the sunset it was a sorry ass little NBA career to go play in Israel aht gaming telling me in the chat he’s going to go try and see him play when he gets back home but yeah you go ahead Pat nobody gives a [ __ ] you [ __ ] yap yap your little yappy dog self puppy self whatever the [ __ ] I don’t even think you’re a puppy or a dog you’re some sort of other animal maybe a little weasel I don’t know but yeah you go on and take yourself overseas yeah there’s gonna be a lot of players that are gonna be done this year that just done because the NBA is changing quickly and in some ways the way the salary cap has worked out for people like Gary Trent Jr well it’s gon to make people like Patrick bebley go on somewhere else and yeah nobody gonna miss you you go ahead and get out and don’t let the door slam you in the ass is what I say right there yeah Mo’Nique that’s right we’re on fire today we are on fire let’s go Tommy is here Tommy dookie our West Coast Raptor freak president the the modicon giant is here he’s got Gary in the modons in honor of him and his departure best of luck to Gary Trent Jr Buck Gary Trent Jr yeah ah you know in some ways I’m glad he’s going to the Bucks but I’m not I really thought it would be either the bucks or the Nuggets that he would go to some people in Laker Nation are going crazy today because they’re like y’all let Gary Trent Jr slip between your fingers like this Lakers are really going down that Lakers fans really believe this because they’re losing out like crazy this summer whether it’s a Dan Hurley saying no I don’t want to be your coach whether it’s Gary Trent Jr not coming to play for them they’re just messing missing out and [ __ ] up left and right their priority was bronny well you get bronny and that was funny what Jaylen Brown did the other day he told Angel ree he’s like yeah this guy’s not good enough to play in the NBA he should be in the G League yeah he should be in the G league and they caught him on Mike and then he had to come around and make a tweet apologizing say no Bron’s a good player I look forward to seeing how he develops and gets better in the league man the NBA is such a [ __ ] up machine at this point uh PR publicity machine this trying to cover up and make their own narratives well Jaylen Brown’s the finals MVP he’s a champion right now and I believe what he’s saying he’s an astute judge of basketball and I’d much rather I think I believe what he’s saying to his friends at the sideline of a a summer league game or a WNBA game then [ __ ] a madeup tweet afterwards to cover up what he said yeah Jaylen I love you in some ways I even though you are a champion for the Celtics right now I think you’re amazing right now I think it’s amazing how they shun you from the Team USA because you are like Kyrie you and Kyrie are like each other and in some ways y’all aren’t marketable some way y’all are [ __ ] disturbers and I respect that about you Jaylen Brown so you go on and speak the truth about bronnie and don’t be afraid because you’re not the only one there former Laker guy who punched out Rudy Tom jonovich and almost killed him Kermit Washington coming out of the Woodworks on TW Tik Tok recently and saying he’s bronnie is not an NBA player and and they’re causing mental distress to him on the download I mean we could say this is true LeBron has an ego and he wants to do certain things through his son and he’s a pawn in this whole thing in some ways it’s not fair to Brony he’s going to have so much publicity and stress and over uh analyzing that it’s not fair to that young man in some ways the the thing that clutch Rich Paul LeBron James and Adam Silver are doing to him is abusive it’s abusive they’re putting him in a spot where he just can’t win and in some ways Kermit Washington from the outside looking at him he’s saying yeah I can see something and bronn’s hurting he’s in pain he’s in pain I can tell he’s [ __ ] he can’t do jack [ __ ] his dad runs his life yeah bronnie you want to go be a streamer and say [ __ ] it I don’t want to be in the NBA you might need to do that seriously because it may solve you a lot of headaches way before they even start just trust me on this seriously oh my gosh fiery is here good to see fiery s Sarah good morning fam and happy Wednesday despite me constantly complaining on Gary’s inconsistency he gave his good moments and admire his professionalism wishing him the best of luck yeah all right you know what let’s do a poll real quick because this has been a debate recently we’re going to do a poll today we haven’t done a raptor freak poll in a bit uh which Raptor had a better career for the Raptors which Raptor had a better career for the Raptors uh for the Raptors and I think you know who the two people I’m gonna put on there I think you know so we’re gonna ask this question now I don’t want to dis Gary because I honestly think that he is awesome and I really do enjoy and appreciate Gary Trent and his time with us I do like the I really do like and honor that um Legacy thing with his dad I you know there’s stats that people are coming out with like he had a certain amount of steals and uh three-pointers that not many players in this whole league had at that time so we’ll just see we’ll just see what happens here here we go boom here’s GNA be the poll you guys figure it out and we’ll see who says it on this one I I would say this listen Gary in some ways even if he was inconsistent he did come through for us big time at different times but man it’s tough in some ways this is the the comparison the one we got to talk about is the one that I put in the poll and we’ll figure it out we’ll figure out in a second but all the best of luck to Gary listen I hope you do have a good year this year so you can get a better contract next year in some ways this is just too bad how things went you I really appreciated that you took your player option and came back and played for the Raptors last season on the player option that would meant a lot to me Gary seriously and I’m sorry that things couldn’t work out this summer but really the main culprit is the new salary cap I would say you go ahead and blame your old teammate CJ McCullum I say go and blame that dumbass fake ass Batman named Grant Williams these were the men in the union that uh uh negotiated this new contract situation for all the middle class in the NBA those jabronies did it to y’all yeah they totally dropped the ball McCullum Grant Williams the leadership of the Union really really dropped the ball for middle middle class players in the league like Gary Trent Jr and even themselves those idiots so dumb so yeah Gary it’s the salary cap the new rules it’s their fault in some ways yeah it is what it is Kem saying oh snap I just read that the Raptor signed Jameson battle yeah yeah they got him on the exhibit 10 it’s not a two-way it’s not a full contract but he’s invited to come to our training camp this fall and try and make the full Squad now it’s the Kevin o Banner spot he’s in he’s in the Kevin o Banner spot Quincy Gary the other exhibit 10 in another spot like that fy’s got Gary on blast too I love it uh fiery saying so now Gary will now work with his Nemesis Lopez AKA the headband snatcher this should be interesting yeah I don’t know is Lopez still gonna be on the Bucks next year this could be very interesting well keep Lopez away from Gary’s headbands that’s what I would say yeah you know that he only plays crazy against the other team when he has somebody on their team well they become his buddy and Brook Lopez doesn’t act like a crazy maniacal weirdo with some weird like obsession with a headband no he’ll be fine he’ll be fine these teams going to be very happy in fact some people are saying because they lost Malik Beasley this Summer that Gary Trent is their biggest free agency or and move of the whole summer for the bucks and I think that’s kind of true I don’t even think that they got any good draft picks Hardley and uh they didn’t pick anybody up so like Gary is the big enchilada of Hope for bucks Nation going into the next season that’s kind of sad honestly in a way if you think about it uh Bryce is saying this this uh Jazz team is pretty good going to be a good test for a boys no Bryce I’m not going to say that I think they were at the beginning of summer league but Kessler’s not playing now there’s no Walker Kessler tonight there is no keonte George and those two guys were their best rookies last year and they’re not playing in this game they’re done for summer league they’ve been taking off the roster and they’re not playing anymore for summer league apparently that’s what I’m hearing Bryce and that team afterwards is filipowski Collier sensah you know we’ll see that I think we’ll have to take them very seriously and beat their ass yeah but I don’t know if they’re gonna be as much of a test as Miami Miami’s looking like the big big test on Friday now yeah Tommy saying back with Dame time will be good for Gary yeah I don’t know I don’t know it’s not like they were very successful in Portland uh Tom I don’t know I don’t know in some ways I don’t wish that for them I’m not a very big fan of Dame Lillard I’m a big fan of Garry’s but Dam little kind of an idiot to me so yeah I can’t get behind this Smith St Gary’s from Wisconsin so he’s back home for a year he’s actually from Minnesota so he’s not actually he’s from Ohio and Minnesota and you can kind of say Toronto but I wouldn’t say he’s from Wisconsin no he’s not from Wisconsin he’s from Minneapolis that’s where he’s from yeah yeah fiery saying yep time best of luck to him do y’all think you will start with the Bucks probably I mean Beasley was starting for them it could Lillard and Trent backcourt with in compto Middleton and Lopez something like that I could see him starting now he may be in the same kind of position he was here where he ambiguous and he could be switched back and forth we’ll have to see it’d be very interesting to watch how they uh utilize him Doc Rivers utilizes him in fact it was said that Doc Rivers especially went to recruit Gary Trent Jr in Miami partly because he has a relationship with his dad the Doc Rivers is is a friend of Gary Trent seniors and that that was part of the leg up that the Bucks had to get Gary on such a low contract and come into their team is that doc really came and kissed his ass and asked him to come play for them so that’s that’s part of the story right there yeah let’s see uh la la la smooth saying Philly would have been a much better fit for him though no it wouldn’t and I talked about this why smooth Nick doesn’t like him why would Nick nurse tell Daryl Moray to go get Gary Trent Jr we know that he was had problems with him and he benched him and he was in his dogghouse at times I think that Nick was frustrated with Gary Trent just as much as he was frustrated with precious or Malachi so no Nick nurse would never ever have invited him to be on the Sixers that probably was never realistic just because the previous working relationship between Trent Jr and nurse here so yeah Tom saying I bet he kills it with the Bucks H I’m not wishing that totally for him who’s the coach it’s still Doc Rivers right now we’ll see maybe that will change at some point but right now it’s still Doc Rivers yeah yeah I don’t know and some way Tom me I’m not trying to wish anything for an Eastern Conference uh opponent no yeah the Bucks is still Doc Rivers that’s right it is still doc he he jumped in there for after this dumb thing with Adrian but he still got that job I’m surprised now this is the thing Doc is there but they’ve hired Darvin ham and Darin ham got fired by the Lakers and Darin hams is number one assistant now if doc [ __ ] up if they can’t do jack [ __ ] this year if Dame Lillard is still not working out with Milwaukee they’re gonna fire Doc in the middle of the season and they’ll put Darin ham as the coach of the Bucks watch they watch they’ll do that they’ll have a very short leash on Doc Rivers and if Doc Rivers is showing that like yeah you’re a bumbling idiot like he failed in the playoffs right he failed at the end of the season he was worse than Adrien Griffin when they made that switch so they probably you know they wanted somebody who’s kind of there but in some ways it’s like dumb they’re going to keep having to pay all these coaches now buen holer went and got the money from Phoenix so they’re off the hook on the boen Holzer contract but they still got to pay Adrien Griffin they fire Doc Rivers they might have to pay him too and then doc Darin Ham’s getting paid to also so we’ll have to see we’ll just have to see how that works out I’m gonna guess that Darin ham will be the coach of the Milwaukee Bucks by this time next year how about that yeah Seymour saying [ __ ] I’m off at 3:30 which means I’m going to miss 30 minutes it is what it is Seymour DVR it and uh speed it up and maybe you can see it before uh the end either way you figure it out you’ll get there I know you will Cowboy I mean uh Sheriff it’s being out in Calgary in the earlier time that’s right good morning Raptor freak crew cool cat good morning to you co coach cool cat always good to see you always good to see you hope you’re having a great day so far randol’s here blessings beloved Raptor freaks most informative gang whatever you can contribute to today that’s positive and right do it because it’s necessary to bless others man ah I need those words of wisdom today I’m trying to stay positive I’m trying to keep things going in the right way as best as I can yeah let’s see what Leo routon is saying on his words of wisdom uh he’s saying if your path demands you walk through hell walk like you own the damn place I like that advice if you’re finding your life is difficult and you’re going through something just own it like you wanted it that way and you’ll be a badass walking through the fires of hell that’s just how it is uh let’s see Isaac’s SC Gary on blast smooth saying so do the Raptors have space to sign a veteran minimum now or a midlevel I think we still have our mid-level actually smooth the problem is we don’t have a lot of roster spots you know we have money to go and get some other people and maybe that’s part of the problem people say oh Raptors can’t get any free agency well that may be part of the problem is that I don’t know I don’t know what’s going to happen in some ways you know a non-g guaranteed contract like Javon Freeman Liberties yeah we can just let it go but there may be other people that we may have to make tough decisions Sasha ven shenka [ __ ] off for Sasha V [ __ ] off just [ __ ] off and go to Greece we don’t need you in the roster because we need your spot what if Koko is healthy all of a sudden what if we need to use the mid level exception to get Koko on our team because he’s cleared to play so we got to wait and see what’s happening with Christian before we uh make any of these last Parts because he may be one of these he may be in the mix our our second round pick from a couple years ago Christian Koko so until we figure out what the NBA adjudicates on him as far as his health and whether he can play or not maybe we’re keeping things a little bit open that would make sense to me that would make sense to me sour saying I have more faith in battle than Trent Jr you know what I’m with you I’m with you and that’s crazy Gary Trent services rendered over a long period of time with the Raptors he was the second most longest tenur rap Raptor uh currently until now Chris bue now it’s Scotty Scotty’s second most Chris number one Scotty Barnes is the second longest standard Raptor at this point now that Gary’s been G gone to Milwaukee yeah I’m with you Jameson’s a bucket Jameson’s hitting all his threes in fact his percentage is like what is he like six for 10 for this let me go look at it I can actually find this let me go find it I’m gonna go look at this right now I’ll get you the stats exactly on how he’s shooting for three right now in the in the uh wait they don’t have that exact stat but Jameson battle 15 and a half minutes per game and two minute two games 11 and a half points one rebound one assist but it doesn’t have a shooting stat does it where is it oh give me the shooting where is it oh no it doesn’t have it it doesn’t give me the shooting that’s too bad I can’t give you that exact stat at least not there Mike’s here logical Raptor fanatic holding it down project truth always Mike that’s what we got to do yeah and I told the truth to jonte this morning that’s right laughing my [ __ ] ass off the Lakers could have used Carlson badly Rim protecting centor power forward who shoots threes they spent too much energy on a player that fouls more than scores lap my [ __ ] ass off there you go I’m with you Mike I’m gonna laugh with you I’m gonna give you a dunk because I love it I love it I love it I love it Mike is laughing at the Lakers and I’m with him 66 dunks from Mike yeah you know Carlson when he got interviewed yesterday they asked him do you want to play power forward or Center and he was mystified by this it’s just like me I’m like what do you mean power forward I’m like okay sure when he was at Utah there was another Center that he played next to a little bit where you could kind of it’s ambiguous once’s either the center or the power forward it doesn’t [ __ ] matter we talked about this with Kelly o lenck you play Kelly oen and Carlson at the same time who’s the power forward who’s the center well Brandon Carlson’s gonna tell you he’s the five because that’s his comfortable position so all y’all trying to say Brendon Carlson is gonna be a four well in some ways he’s not comfortable with that he wants play the five he wants to be the big man that’s the position he’s played most of his life and in some ways he’s interested in trying the four but who’s bigger than him on our team right now Koko if he comes back but that’s it I mean yakob okay you gonna put yakob and Carlson out there well yakob is definitely in the center then and I will agree that uh then Carlson’s a power forward but how often are we gonna play the two Utes together the two youths Joe pessi the two youths the two youths were on the court and Carson hit a three I’m just saying ambiguity about his position is not ambiguous to him he’s a center and that’s how he identifies that’s right that’s right all right let’s keep going Seymour saying salute The Logical Raptor fanatic that’s right Infamous is here good to see Infamous a long time Raptor freak always good to see you back salute freaks the one thing I can respect about Gary is he done everything we asked him to do with no complaints publicity side note fire your agent boom goes a dynamite Infamous you want a three-pointer you can get one right now yeah you know what you’re exactly right uh he was an ultimate professional 25 dunks for Infamous he’s got the Chris bue ultimate professional there were all kinds of times the Press gave him bait to dis Nick nurse for things he did to him there are all kinds of times where he was involved in position battles for time and on the court with other players on our team and he didn’t go low he was absolutely a badass and this is really I give a lot of that credit to his dad and raising him right on understanding what it takes to be a healthy non-toxic NBA Pro and Gary Trent Jr was trained on this from a very young age and his father is a big part of the reason and the way he handles himself is the ultimate Pro it’s like he could be the template for young players to see this is how you handle yourself if you want to be a good Pro and have all kinds of things now in some ways it’s weird because it didn’t help him in this situation with what happened but it wasn’t that the way he talked or the way he acted as a professional it’s the way he played on the court and it was inconsistent so it sucks and I’m with you Infamous you know get away from clutch it’s obvious that clutch didn’t do you any favors in the last couple years Gary and that you’re in a situation where you’re gonna pay get paid three less than three million dollars this year when you should probably be in a double digits and millions yeah this is messed up and in some ways I would blame Rich Paul I blame clutch yeah because they’re your representation what the [ __ ] did they represent you to at this point that you signed yesterday that’s what I would say right there yeah Kareem saying I can’t remember a player signing a vet minimum at the T your age of 24 clutch messed him up how many players signed their best contract after signing a vet minimum I feel cheated if I was Gary well in some ways look these are the breaks Gary comes from a professional basketball family and they’re gonna hold their head high and they’re gonna do what they do in some ways this is the strategy he didn’t want a multi-year contract because he knew this rate was going to be bad so we only want to take one year like this even though you’re right he’s 24 what the hell is this seriously it is what it is hopefully he can play in a consistent level that he can get paid correctly next summer and we’ll see if it’s the Bucks that even invested him at that point it could be it’s wide open and he could go anywhere after one year of playing with jonis though so yeah it’s very interesting and I think y’all are right both of y’all blaming Rich Paul and clutch for Gary’s situation yeah Mike Santa at smooth we don’t have roster spots for more players at the moment money isn’t the issue but yeah we have the full mle still yeah that’s good for flexibility and listen I’m gonna say this right now we don’t have to go so young that we have to put all these draft picks that we just got on our roster it’s like all right kamay and Carlson for sure Jamal shed mobo I don’t know in some ways even though mobo is Scotty’s buddy Maybe he has to be 9:05 straight up this year and he doesn’t totally come up at all this year and he’s maybe next year he’s on the Raptor’s full Squad I don’t know we’re gonna have to see how this all sorts out in training camp so none of this stuff is gonna get exactly sorted out until September so we’ll have to see the roster spots are not a lot and that’s the thing and a lot of people are hungry in in a competition to get those spots now if we use the mle and we bring in a whole other name well that’s just bumping another person off the roster so we’ll have to see how this goes down and I love that Mike’s a part of our Channel again because he really does help us sort it all out I appreciate you Mike uh FY saying but Lex Gary already tried the strategy opting in last year to up his value but did not play well it is really unfortunate to settle for three million when offered 15 million which wasn’t necessarily warranted well more of the news came out because after the signing that the Raptors never formally offered him a deal this summer we just didn’t in some ways they had understood that like look he’s going to be not asking for a realistic number for what we can do with him so they didn’t even start the talks I don’t think there were an informal talks kind of a feeling out maybe a little respectful going back and forth but in reality there was no formal offer of 15 million a year for Gary at this point they didn’t even offer him that so he’s been kind of sitting really questioning what the [ __ ] is going on uh for a bit but I knew he wasn’t really in the Raptor’s plans for next year in some ways how the [ __ ] are we going to pay him more for what he did last year seriously it’s poor management if we did that so I appreciate our front office being strong and in some ways people would be like yeah we don’t take care of our guys well in some ways we make tough decisions when we have to because it’s best for the team going forward and whether it’s Fred going to Houston whether it’s the decisions to trade anobi and seum in the last year whether it’s allowing Gary to walk this summer you got to make room for the future and that’s part of it right there yeah Tommy’s got the uh YouTube clip I believe of what I was talking about oh he’s got the practice in oh Jamal shed that’s right he’s got the Jamal shed clip thank you Tommy for putting it in there y’all check it out Jamal shed backstory and his family talking about who he is as a person and uh how how special he is that’s right Wednesday freakout yeah definitely had that today oh man yeah Wednesday freakout for sure yeah FY um um Mike saying Gary was pencel in for 15 million and Gary wanted more so Messi went and used that 15 million to get Davon Sasha in Two second rounds which is a value increase from Gary and Powell both yeah this is part of the thing that gra and Blake Murphy and a couple of people are trying to say on Twitter today is that with Gary walking and going to Milwaukee it closes the trade tree and all the stuff that came from pal but that’s not actually true in some ways because of what Mike just said I mean in some ways it guess it is true technically but you know what we got great value over those times the thing that people don’t understand is you can’t perpetually just keep value going in one roster spot things will Peter out and get to their end naturally and the fact that we turned what grevis Vasquez all the way into the end of like Gary Trent Jr that’s pretty impressive that’s pretty damn impressive that’s like a 10-year run of renewal and uh assets to get something from it and you know you know everybody’s saying well you lose some losing something for nothing Fred left for nothing well this happens to teams all the time and it’s just going to happen it’s just going to happen do they say this about the Lakers losing guys all the time no because it’s bad publicity for the Lakers and they’re trying to kiss their ass and make them look so good even though they’re not and meanwhile if we are doing really good moves all the time they’ll say little things like oh Fred walked for nothing and they’ll point that out and try and push that down in her face they say oh seum you didn’t get what you should have gotten for seak we don’t know that yet we got to see how good good jacobe Walter is we go to see how good the draft pick we get next year is we gotta see how good OSI abaji and Kelly elck and uh yeah some of these picks that we got recently are yeah that’s right that’s right let’s see INF saying we had to grab battle quickly or some other team would have the talent can’t be denied yes yes and that that’s our front office doing their job and being on top of it a lesser front office may have been a sleep at the wheel and boom snatched from you right from underneath you that’s right uh Kareem saying it is is it freak out Friday Lex the passion is the reason why we’re all here every morning 9:30 he’s yelling at me too I’m apologize cuz I yelled at y’all actually I wasn’t yelling at y’all you know who I was yelling at yeah yeah FY saying oh my God first time I see Lex turning red yeah there’s a lot of emotion today I don’t even want to talk about it but there’s a lot of emotion today fiery saying Lex breathe and we indeed Salute Your Passion the audacity with jont yeah I don’t even want to get all hyped up on this I shot my shot on what I wanted to say about jonte earlier if you want to see it it’s good it’s crazy yeah yeah in saying battle has very sneaky athleticism that people are not talking about as well yeah the thing I like is once again we’ve got a four-year college player in Jamal shed we’ve got a five-year college player and Brandon Carlson we got a very finished product in Jameson battle also these are youngsters coming in the league that aren’t like scoot Henderson or some like Grady dick I’ll even say him he’s a good example that are unfinished product guys that are not ready for the NBA well these guys are because they’ve been trained they’ve gotten the full college career like the old school NBA players did in the 80s and 90s and in some ways they’re better off for it Jamal shed Brendan Carlson they get their foot in the door in the NBA well they actually have some of this stuff built up and learned from their college programs so they can actually have some good continuity going in Jameson battle seems like he’s very well trained as a professional and he is ready ready to play at a professional level because he got that from his time at Ohio State and that’s that’s what I’m talking about right there I like it yeah Bryce is saying uh dunk for full ass it’s uh Lex your passion is unique thank you Bryce no I needed an outlet today I’m not even gonna lie I need lie I need he’s a little bit getting more than he deserves but in some ways I’ll say I’m gonna give him a three-pointer you’re going to a 188 uh Kar you’re at 188 now and uh Bryce I’m gonna give you one too man uh just for uh uh Your Enthusiasm in the chat on Facebook and also just the your your your time coming in here all the time I’m going give you a three-pointer too 28 for Bryce Bryce is at 28 now yeah all right let’s see what else you guys are saying Mike saying 905 this year is gonna be nasty they better be they better be yeah yeah Tom saying Drew Jones will be in darko’s ear about the plan yeah I’m excited the thing again is Drew Jones is a big man coach he’s a big man himself he understands big men and well we got some very good big men projects going to play for 905 this year was Carlson kamay yeah mobo these guys will get good toage from Drew Jones on the 905 level I’m excited about this and I’m exactly with you Mike 905 is gonna be nasty and we better win a lot and we better kick a lot of ass and who knows maybe we win another g-league championship with the Raptors 905 this season that would be badass I’m all about it yeah yeah I love getting them Classic Car of the day day Mike jinsky the Gman that’s actually what his nickname was Gman Gman yeah uh let’s see uh yeah good job smooth uh fiery saying Lex’s rant was epic like they say it’s a it is provocative it keeps the people going in some ways look you guys want to see the passion well we got it here that’s right y’all got it we share it and that is for the Raptors we love the Raptors and that passion came out and jonte Porter deserved it what I just said earlier yeah see more saying so you know him but not Kyle guy Kyle guy jinsky yeah but that’s because Kyle guy never actually made the League this guy you got to look at his stats look at this Seymour look at this like this isn’t a joke this double digit averages and points he played for New Jersey for a long time and then he came to Philly and he played on Philly with Charles Barkley and he was the starting center for Charles Barkley for the late the early 90s so you you can’t say that jinsky is like Kyle guy this guy made the league and he started and you can see his stats right there he scored uh double digits from 85 to 89 so this is this is a starting center in the NBA K guy is a point guard that never made the NBA so there you go that’s why I gotta say that yeah and this guy I was watching basketball at this time too uh Rand saying Lex would you be okay my brother I’ve never seen or heard you explode like this I was getting worried there for a moment good to see you that you’re back down love yeah I mean I be honest I have personal things going on right now in my life and in some ways I was getting some of that energy out on jonte and it was healthy it felt good I feel better from yelling like that I’m not gonna lie I know it’s not totally healthy but in some ways it was entertaining for you guys and uh jonte kind of deserves it honestly to be honest yeah Davis G give me hearts and so is Tommy dookie I appreciate you guys I appreciate you guys’ support and yeah Trevor saying good morning Raptor family ungrateful people complain about the one thing you haven’t done for them instead of being thankful for the thousands of things You’ have done for them boom goes to Dynamite Trevor Jay you want a dunk you can get it for that one a three-pointer for I’m going to give you a three-pointer honestly because Trevor that’s big time right there 41 you got the Kelly oen now guy you actually had 41 dunks last year and now you got 41 dunks this year wow The Duality commissioner Jay thank you in some ways what you said is so apropo it’s so apropo and I don’t even want to tell you why uh SE more saying getting bronny and JJ there was their main targets that’s right LeBron and the Lakers got their main objectives done we got to get bronny and some ways that’s the only thing they probably focused on that was important the coaching search is just like yeah nobody wants to coach Us JJ will you do it Braun we’re doing a a podcast right now no I’m serious do you want to coach the Lakers I haven’t really thought about it I’ll get back to you you know it’s that kind of [ __ ] that happened this summer with them Mike’s saying how do you say are you a sub to my pod in Arabic a friend is asking laugh out loud yeah yeah yeah oh man hilarious hilarious good stuff all right let’s keep going um oh crap I see you guys filled it up I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it all right let’s see uh Seymour saying the flakers that’s pretty good that’s pretty good Shir con’s here good to see Raptor freak Rookie of the Year in the past years sheer Khan the MVP of Raptors tonight chat good morning Raptor freak family Good Vibes all around love the interviews with Scotty and IQ hate the two commentators on NBA TV they knew nothing about Canada and Toronto with trash comments Gary Trent Jr the big time lost income yeah yeah sh Khan with a synopsis here yeah uh uh all right let’s go do the Instagram stories since you brought this up and Scotty has shown a little picture homage to his friendship with Gary on his Instagram stories right now we see him coming in with Gary down the tunnel of of fashion that’s what I’ll call it the tunnel of fashion we see him on the sideline with Gary when they’re both in Street closed and not playing yeah that was probably near the end of the season we see in the background back with Scott wearing the shirt about don’t compare yourself to some idiot on internet and Gary’s there with him it’s sad and then this one says my vet and Gary and Scotty jumping together this is gonna hurt just like OG just like Pascal leaveing Fred you know all these you know these are Scotty’s guys as a rookie and they always have the memories of his first initial NBA memories with these guys Fred Pascal OG uh Gary yeah it’s sad it’s sad in some ways of course the PB&J commercial that they did together uh yeah in some way Scott we feel you man we feel you but it’s your era man and we got to make room for your people and in some ways Gary was a part of the past and in some ways your future with the Raptors is important man and it’s all about you and it’s not that Gary wasn’t fit in that it’s just he’s not fit in the overall picture that darko’s putting together we got slim duck at the practice court in uh Vegas at the wind Casino ballroom putting up shots wearing the Raptor’s shirts playing nipsy hustle over the thing it came out yesterday that the Raptors court is being utilized by players from all over the NBA on off hours that the Raptors may have their practice times now doban Mitchell said recently that he had played on the Raptors Ballroom court before with the Kings because the kings were allowed to use the Raptor’s Court to be nice they were like oh maybe they charge them a fee I hope so if y’all are paying the Win Casino to have that luxury of having those courts if another team wants to come in there you better get them to chip in at least an hourly rate for while they’re in there because in some ways it’s like look y’all can be all nice and good to the rest of the league and different ways but no don’t be giving like that Messiah and Bobby you know that they’re taking from us in Shady ways behind their backs all the time so if you being so nice and let other teams uh practice on our court you better be charging them is what I’m saying now what’s been coming out is that on off hours maybe in the middle of the night even NBA players that are just in Vegas for summer league have seen the court and they’ve been running impromptu five on fives with Raptors players also involved still so there’s been some crazy unseen runs going on there L Rico runs of the highest caliber and the craziest combinations so yeah that Ballroom something else and Trevor J’s still trying to get in there with his media pass friend he said you gotta get in there and see what’s going on in there with the five on fives the all NBA five on fives going on in there right now Jamal shed’s showing pictures of a friend of his in a puma shirt he’s also got I want to be like Taz I don’t I don’t know what that means and yeah there’s I guess Taz is a friend of his and he’s showing putting him on blast shed’s always putting on blast’s people in fact he’s you know that that clip about Jamal that Tom just posted a little while ago it speaks a lot to Jamal shed’s character because apparently when he was younger he watched a lot of basketball his siblings were involved in basketball including his sisters and he would play with the women he was playing with the women as a youngster he was trying to learn and coach in some ways his sister was in awe of Jamal shed because he could watch somebody do something on the court and without even like practicing or anything he could mimic it and come out and do it on the court immediately afterwards he’s a special kid and he’s a student of the game and the thing about Jamal shed is he’s studying how to win and all the little things that it takes to win and he’s implementing them in his DNA as an NBA player that is the kind of stuff that Lowry did and the reason why Lowry was the way low was I’m just trying to say this more and more Raptor fans Jamal shed is one of those he’s a student of the game and he cares about the little things that add up to winning that’s why he was 120 and 18 at college but yeah he’s amazing and he has a very big love for the women’s side of the sport too because of his sisters and working with young ladies in his younger days he played a lot against the women when he was young apparently that’s what we find out in that clip all right continuing with the stories real quick we got emanel quickley doing an extended workout clip you can check out the Reel he’s in there working hard and some ways I see some of this this really short dribble stuff he’s doing is a little bit different than what he did last year so I’m excited about the expansion of Emanuel quickley game as the starting point guard of the Toronto Raptors that’s right he’s also celebrating uh college football win I guess is Oregon and uh Alabama were playing or something like that there was some sort of football game let’s see who else do I have to check out we got Jameson battle on my Instagram story celebrating getting signed by the Raptors yesterday he has posted it on his Alish Kay had a really cool clip come out yesterday and it warmed my heart warmed my heart NBA Canada releasing an interview with Alish talking about coming to the NBA and how important it is coming from the basketball Africa league and he said it’s really special that he got drafted by the Raptors because the Raptors have been his favorite team since he was a little kid he said that he’s watched his fellow Countryman Pascal sakam for many years he’s his favorite player he loves Pascal and he loves Messiah uiri he said very specifically that he appreciates messiah’s work over in Cameroon to allow a player like him to get to the point where he is and that he doesn’t take this lightly kamay is a real one he’s a raptor fan raised up and this is the thing I got to tell people what we’ve been doing over in the continent of Africa with messiri basketball Without Borders Giants of Africa the basketball Africa league is going to pay off over the years I’m telling you right now Kay may be one of the first ones we know Koko had some proclivities for Raptors because of Pascal cakam and Messi ujiri well kamay is saying the same damn thing his favorite team is the Raptors he’s real Raptors red through and through and he’s so proud that he is on our team and he says that he owes mueri to do really really well he owes it to his country he owes it to the people in that continent that want to follow in his footsteps to be successful so I love it Kam Shay is a real one and he is you gotta watch that clip he’s basically saying SE yakum I love SE yakum I’ve watched SE yakum on the Raptors and the Raptors are my favorite team he was a raptor fan before he got even drafted by us and he’s in the right spot he’s exactly where he needs to be kamay so you’re real one I love you man and you go on that path that se yakum went on and become an NBA champion yourself all rich K that’s right that’s right I love it yeah we’re seeing pictures of him on the practice court on his Instagram stories he’s lifting a very heavy weight he’s got more pictures of Liv in the present with some one friend of his is on another team yeah good stuff all rich and I really love that interview with NBA Canada talking about where you’re coming from and what you care about Omari Moore packing the bags and doing things at Las Vegas doing what he can trying to make a name for himself in summer league and do better and better and get further along there you go game day today 5:00 pm let’s get ready let’s go yeah there’s your Instagram stories real quick uh King’s here Brian is here what’s up freak Nation remember I’ve been saying Gary Trent Jr is Expendable I mean I I didn’t want to say that but I was saying a lot last year Gary if you don’t get it going if you don’t get some consistency well we you we can let you walk and well that’s how it went that’s how it went it’s sad but true I told Jordan when I saw him King Jordan King Bolton I saidwe love Gary up here I know we want to try and figure it out so he can be back well at the end of the season you know the part of the the disappointing part is he wasn’t that hurt when everybody else was hurt when we had a really bad part of the end of the season and he had all the opportunity to step up in the void of Scotty and yakob and carry our team and he failed he could have been way more and showed up way more now he did show up and do good things I’m not saying he didn’t do well because there was a stretch of the the year where he was consistent but he could have done more and if he had done more and he just really showcased it bam the summer would have went better for him it’s too bad because the the the the ability and the pro the the possibility was there but it didn’t happen so what can we do Brian what can we do what can we do Trevor saying after we watched the Sixers and the Timberwolves we went to the sky and Aces game Sky W Usher taking pictures with the aces out the game that’s cool so Trevor was at the game last night where the whole crowd was singing Usher songs to Usher that’s right Usher was hanging out with Aza Wilson and uh Angel Ree and getting a lot of pictures taken that was a marquee matchup that you were at last night Trevor Jay that that Sky acus game was a big deal and a lot of eyes on that game a lot of eyes on that game for sure wow Trevor’s living a really good life right now being at Las Vegas summer league this past week oh my gosh Trevor is getting to do all kinds of cool stuff going to the aces Sky game that’s fantastic that’s very very cool Seymour saying this poll that I put up is easy if you’re going to ask me who was more important and did more for the Raptors in their career on the Raptors Norman Powell beats Gary Trent Jun I think that in some ways you’re right but in some ways you’re wrong I would say you’re right in the way that Gary Gary beats Norman on the alltime lists apparently Gary was really really close to overtaking Terrence Ross on the alltime list for most three-pointers made as a raptor and some some ways Gary was rising up the ranks in a lot of alltime franchise uh lists and Norman not as high up just to say now the other thing I would say is well Norman has the accolades Norman has the championship Norman has the g-league championship Norman has some of the glory so in some ways if you want to put that in if you want to look at well Gary wasn’t there for us in places where we needed him the most but Norman was Norman was the killer Norman was playoff pal yeah so in some ways I can’t disagree with you guys if we’re gonna look straight up at the postc career of the Raptors Gary Trent Jr versus Norman Powell Norman’s a champ and that’s part of it right there that’s just part of it right there yeah so Seymour says it’s easy and 80% of y’all saying Norman the better Raptor than Gary I can’t disagree with that guys uh Mike saying clutch has been losing players money yeah I mean in some ways look and this is exactly indicative of what I was just saying about the Lakers in their offseason they have tunnel vision they only care about certain things at certain times and they let other things go bad this was a problem last summer in the middle of the Fred uh thing with Fred trying to figure out his thing going to Houston well they disregarded moamba they disregarded other clutch clients that were lesser and they got [ __ ] up they missed deadlines they missed opportunities with certain lesser players involved in clutch and they hurt them because they weren’t paying enough attention to them so I think that this is something normal for this organization I think that in some ways Rich Paul and LeBron really have their favorites and their things that they really want to concentrate out of the time whether it’s LeBron himself his son bronnie whether it’s Fred Van B last summer and they disregard people that they should probably be taken care of also I would say that’s probably true yeah imp saying this is not even close Norman is a champ see that’s what puts it over for Infamous too yeah I mean I get it I get it I can’t I can’t disagree with you guys Wayne saying Rich Paul totally screwed Gary Trent Jr league minimum we offered 12 million of which he refused better decision would be take our deal even for a year or two and attempt to enhance his value said when some ways I’m I’m okay with this listen we don’t have to deal with Rich Paul a little bit lesser because of this now that’s the whole thing about inviting Koko back is that would mean clutch is back around us but otherwise we’re clutch free at this time yeah who who on our team is clutch not our coach [ __ ] that we don’t have no [ __ ] coach with clutch and Rich Paul at this point no we don’t so I don’t know who’s with clutch on our team and do we want clutch back that may be one of the questions we got to ask about Koko and if we don’t get coloo back well that’s maybe one of the pluses about it is it well we don’t have to [ __ ] deal with Rich B and clutch now that’s great I mean we could look at it this a lot of different ways and in some ways yeah I don’t know if we actually off offered him that 12 million you’re saying though Wayne I don’t think we did because it’s come out in the since this deal has been done with Milwaukee that Toronto never offered him anything they just let the market figure it out so we were we I don’t think we had any intention of bringing him back to be honest no intention whatsoever that it it just wasn’t going to happen uh Mike saying clutch makes strong moves and it works sometimes but there’s a growing list of players that lost a lot of money I’m just saying they take care of their big fish and they’re not looking at the other people in the aquarium as well it is sh con saying they’ve been calling Izzy uh Europe forever such a joke yeah yeah I’ve wondered about that occupy local community and call it whatever they want in 20 years this is going to be known as one of the darkest times in the region sh shame yeah Netanyahu is a monster and it is it’s PR publicity kind of like shaping in some ways in some ways you know people around the world will think something different when you say oh it’s Europe than the Middle East you know it really is like it’s very uh side Ops kind of [ __ ] so yeah Shan understands what I’m saying right here in some ways we know that a lot of this is not popular in that country a lot of Israelis hate Netanyahu right now and they think he’s a monster just as much as we do here so we can’t in indict the whole country of Israel there’s a lot of people that do not agree with the genocide that they’re that they are doing right now there’s a lot of people there yeah C saying good morning Lex and Raptor freaks that rant had me on the floor Aly to you I have a strong feeling uh Walters Walter goes off tonight let’s go Raptors the new era is here thank you Cowboy I will take your dunk gladly the red in my face made me earn it and I love that cowboy got on the floor laughing about what I was doing you know I’m gonna give you a dunk too actually I’m gonna give you a rare two-pointer and put you at 69 and there you go and then let’s see where am I gonna put my I get one dunk though I only get one 88 I’m at 88 guys 88 dunks for old Lex yeah I’m glad I entertained you if any anything I’ve done this morning I’ve entertained cowboy with a crazy ass rant that’s right new eras here I like your prediction about Walter we had some publicity photos come out yesterday of jacobe Walter a very nice aerial kind of uh acrobatic move very beautiful I put it as a cover photo of our Raptor freak group on Facebook yeah jacobe Walter I’m expecting big things from him tonight also I’m wondering do you think that OSI abashi has some get for uh his old team the Utah Jazz maybe some of those guys on the other side he did actually get to play with a little bit before he got traded to us last year and maybe he has something for his former team I don’t know maybe maybe uh Carlson played for Utah He’s getting to play against the Utah Jazz today maybe he’s got a little bit of get up and get up and get seven blocks today instead of six just because it’s the Utah Jazz why not why not we GNA see the new era is here that is for sure Cowboy that’s right Isaac saying I hope the Bucks sign Malachi in Precious too Isaac you want to dunk all right yeah it’s kind of funny like I’ve heard a little bit of uh Malachi uh uh news like I heard I think he worked out for somebody I don’t even care who it was I’ve already forgot so Isaac Campbell I’m gonna give you a dunk too you’re at I’m gonna give you an you’re at 89 89 right just above me Isaac and I are running with each other 80 and 88 and 89 Tom Duke saying I’m still hoping for Sasha no I’m not give up on that Tom give up on that he doesn’t want to play for us [ __ ] that [ __ ] the Greek fans want him in some ways it’s exactly what I was saying the other day the the Raptors don’t want to pay him [ __ ] if he really wants to go there he needs to just null and void his contract and not and just go take the Greek money now if Sasha’s trying to get money for nothing okay Dire Straits you [ __ ] you think we’re gonna pay you and you don’t even come and show up with us because in some ways well you’re gonna be like Kawai you’re gonna sit out and take seven Millions from us well you can’t play in Greece you can’t have it that way you can’t have your cake and eat it too Sasha van shank off Sasha van [ __ ] off is what I’m gonna start calling you yeah because seriously dude you could have showed up and made seven million this year from the Raptors you probably didn’t even have to play a whole lot but no it’s all messed up the Greek fans whatever Greek fans maybe that’s part of why jonte said I want to go play for Greece because he sees all these crazy Greek fans for Sasha [ __ ] off and he’s kind of like maybe they’ll get behind me and they’ll say free Jon because they wanted me on their team because they want Sasha so much maybe they want me Jon they want Jon too he’s like oh I want to come to Greece can I come to Greece Greece fans get online and talk all this [ __ ] maybe you can like attack the American judicial system and [ __ ] come at them like you’ve been coming at the Raptor’s [ __ ] front office release Sasha release Sasha you [ __ ] Tom have you not seen the internet [ __ ] that the Greek fans have been sending Raptor Nation V Shasha Ben Shen [ __ ] off is what I’m saying right now why you keep saying you want him no we don’t want him yeah to each their own it’s not gonna happen Tommy give up on this dream it’s not gonna happen I’m gonna tell you right now Sasha’s not gonna play for us he’s a big [ __ ] headache but he’s not a Goran dragic either that’s what I’ll say right there that’s right Wayne saying Isaac is that true or you [ __ ] with us he’s messing around he thinks it’d just be funny if that happens now I’m cra it’s crazy that Chu has not been picked up like I don’t know New York are you going to go ahead and just say yeah we’re bringing back precious why have you not done that yet in some ways you need him you need precious still I mean [ __ ] if y’all ain’t gonna do it maybe the Raptors do need to circle around and say precious come on back come on back precious is pressure is gonna go to Detroit is that’s what’s gonna happen exile to Detroit just like Tobias Harris and Malachi Flynn I don’t know I think Malachi’s not going to get a contract he’s going to sail off on the sunset I don’t think Malachi is goingon to be in the NBA this year precious he’s still got a chance though that’s what I’ll say right there Mo saying Drew Jones has so much choices for next season I can’t wait Mo I’m I can tell you’re close with Drew Jones I’ve seen him interacting with you on Facebook so most got a connection with the new uh 905 coach that’s amazing this is like the total opposite of the last two years Mo hated Eric Curry and now she’s actually like social media friends with Drew Jones and interacting with him it’s a total 180 from her feelings about Eric Curry with the her feelings about Drew Jones so I love it I love it Mo and any way you can bring insight and as a Raptor’s Insider because of you knowing Drew Jones Mo you’re awesome you are awesome that’s right if saying I have no problem with Gary asking for more he just got caught within a bad free agency period when you accept less you can be locked into that pay scale yeah I mean listen as much as Fred was lucky and just got all the best things happened to him in his his situation last year he really had the very most optimal amazing situation that he landed in Houston with Gary had the exact opposite this summer yeah it’s crazy it’s actually really so opposite they gave him 43 million a year and Gary’s getting 2.9 Million this year it’s so at opposite ends of the spectrum and in some ways they’re both results from the same things that happened the Sal cap rules and how they changed it’s just last year the Rockets had to start spending money all of a sudden and Dylan Brooks and Fred came and collected yeah and this year things are tightened up and Gary I’m sorry you got the vet minimum there you go there you go cool cat saying Gary Trent Jr loved really loveed Toronto for so many reasons I wouldn’t say past tense I say he still does I don’t think that the the relationship between us is bad I don’t think that he’s upset with us I know if he’s a pro apparently from the outside he’s a pro on the inside too he knows it’s a business in some ways the Raptors were helpful to him the Raptors did help him in a lot of ways he’s in a better place in some ways than he was when he got traded here from Portland so I don’t think there’s any hate I don’t think there’s any upsetness in some ways he was ready to move to the next place and in some ways I would be very shocked if Gary Trent Jr has anything bad to say about Toronto very very shock because like I said he’s looked at Toronto as an amazing magical place since he was a kid and his dad played here and in some ways Toronto has never been an enemy or a problem and I don’t think it will be going forward now sure when we play the bucks he may have a little bit of get up to try and get at us to show something and that’s just a competitor that’s just somebody who wants to show that well you guys messed up when you let me go but I don’t think there’s any like malice or hate in his heart towards the fans of the Raptors towards the city of Toronto and even towards his old teammates or the organization itself so Mike’s saying next year the crop of rookies will be better we need to plan to have some open spots next year bue Brown Sasha are expiring at the moment yeah well I mean I want to get ahead in some ways it’s good you’re forecasting and thinking about this and I know Messi and Bobby are too and some ways yeah in some ways us letting the Spurs have our draft pick this year was a very good thing very very very good thing that it worked out that way because in some ways that we deferred and kept our pick this year Well it may have been a crappy pick and next year we would have given their pick the pick to them and it was a much worse time to give them the pick so it all works out for the reason the way it does and I think we’re okay and I like what Mike’s saying but man I want to go through this season first I know Mike’s looking ahead though that’s right uh Kareem saying uh sign Jameson battle Brendan Carlson quickly and Barnes if we get Koko back I will coin this offseason Royal Flush ah I mean he makes me laugh I can’t help it but give him dunks I’m sorry that is funny 189 189 for Kareem that’s funny that’s all right Mike’s saying we have two picks in 2025 already plus an undrafted probably yeah we’ll just have to see Mike you’re getting ahead of yourself but I do like that you are thinking long term and I know our front office is too I know they are uh cool cat saying Gary Trent Jr got caught in the new CB ba contract his value has dropped he’s too much of a specialist in his one-year contract he will add defense and ball handling skills to increase his value well why didn’t he do that already I mean he’s at a defense since he’s been here he got his steals up him and Fred were a very very nasty back court for defense it was really the combo of Trent Jr with Van vet that was really nasty and in some ways I think Gary got hurt this past year with Fred going to Houston in some ways he didn’t play as well in the back court without Fred around it was too unfamiliar there was a certain amount of things that Fred and Gary had worked out together to work off of each other in some ways Freddy said if uh Norm’s leaving my best friend I’m gonna start this thing with Gary afterwards his predecessor afterwards his person afterwards and get it the kind of relationship with him that I had with with Norman and well that was part of the success of Gary Trent on defense and getting all those steals in the lane and running down and getting those nice dunks well that didn’t happen as much last year because in some ways him with the other guards he was playing with whether it was early in the year with Dennis whether it was later in the year with Emanuel there wasn’t that kind of uh collaborative uh effort by the two guards on how they did things and that hurt Gary in a contract year so in some ways Freddy going to Houston absolutely hurt Gary in some ways because that combo was what looked good was Trent Jr and Van vet in the back G that is part of it right there yeah let’s see fiery saying I will miss Gary’s drip though he dressed nice and eclectic now Gary’s always gonna be a raptor Legend I want him to stay a very very positive happy person in our eyes as far as a celebrated alumni I would love to see in years years after his career is over him and his father show up as a fatherson Duo at our Arena and get the accolades and the Applause and the standing ovation from our crowd I want to see all of that let’s keep it on the right plays don’t do no Rudy Gay don’t do no weirdness like deard de rosan recently either yeah yeah let’s see smooth saying OA brassette would be a nice three for the Raptors been there done that already walked along and he’s gone to other places in some ways I don’t agree with this I think he’s not as good as you think he is I think that OA Brett’s a player in between positions and in some ways he’s he’s okay I thought he was better on the Pacers he hasn’t jack [ __ ] for the Celtics he’s a champion right now but in some ways he wasn’t even the rotation for the Celtics so no only thing that’s attractive to me about brassette coming back is he’s Canadian but in other ways I I think we could do better is what I would say right there yeah fiery saying I agree with cool cat yeah I’m G miss his style I’m G Miss certain things about him but in some ways he’s not a complete NBA player in ways that we need him to be and in some ways if he’s going to be hurt on the down low and it’s going to affect his consistency we can’t be jerked around with that Messiah and Bobby are in a position as a front office in the NBA that we have to make everything work out we can’t make mistakes and if we invest in Gary and we continue to get the Gary that we’ve got last year it’s going to be a big huge mistake so they just want to avoid it in general it is what it is it’s not that we don’t love Gary it’s not that we in an ideal world he would have had a good season and we would have very much felt like we could invest with him this Summer to continue to have him but it didn’t happen and that’s part of what I was trying to say on this channel all last year with the the night after nights when we react to games I said Gary what are you doing man you have to do better or you will not be a raptor next year and that is exactly what happened yesterday that is exactly what happened Den L here good to see Den loud it’s been a little bit man uh great morning Raptor fans I’ve seen a lot of chatter about Koko being on the scene I absolutely love him and I hope he returns but that’s an even bigger Log Jam I don’t know I know technically Blake Murphy says we don’t have the waiver rights to him but in some ways it is clutch and Christian’s decision and the Raptor’s decision too and if the Raptors are like yeah we didn’t never want you to be gone because of medical health we this was not our decision we still want you on the Raptors well we can probably hopefully circle around and get that to happen didn’t loud I’m with you we want Koko back if we can get him back because that depth at Center will be nice to be a team that actually has depth at Center all of a sudden because that’s what it’ll look like if he does come back I lot of depth at Center and a lot of projects there you know what didn’t loud for showing up it’s been a little bit I’m going to give you another dunk I you’re already on the dunk sheet so you’re at number two you got the Jonathan mobo too my guy there you go cool cat saying um hang on there we are uh love that we have competitive environment no one t taking anything for granted our previous bench was too comfortable and no improvement precious Flynn Gary Etc we just need to see Pascal trades and picks hit in the long run yeah we need to see our young players grow and strive to get better and better and that’s where value comes from you know Scotty making a leap last year to an All-Star well he gets rewarded with an extension this summer well you got to continue to make sure that contracts value Scott and I know you will I don’t doubt you in any kind of way I know that you’re going to expand as a player in a superstar way that’s absolutely going to be badass and Raptor fans are going to love it so much Emanual quickly a similar thing you’re gonna invest that much money in those two players well they better be given value for what they’re doing and I believe they both will in some ways that’s part of the trust the front office is doing when they allocate funds long-term for players like Emanuel quickley and Scotty Barnes so that’s the thing we get value from Brandon Carlson on what he’s getting paid for where he’s coming from we get value on Alish Kay as he continues to get better and learns the NBA game that’s where we get the value and that’s where we make the improvements and move on up that’s right and uh you know these trades they’ll be worked out over time time and we’ll see exactly what we got for OG anobi and Pascal seak in the years to come that’s right that’s right Mike’s saying we got Fred for nothing he was undrafted that’s right you get something for nothing you lose something for nothing like seriously when people said oh we’re losing Fred for nothing we’re losing well we made him out of nothing like Mike’s saying where did he come from he was nothing we made him up came what he was and boom we got him at this peak in some way I will say this I know Fred can get better and Fred will be better as a bet with wiliness and smarts but in some ways where is his physical attributes going to start to decline and where is that curve and Arc and did the Raptors cash out with Fred we built him up got all the value from him coming undrafted from Witchita state right on up to where he got to NBA champion g-league champion Allstar yeah we got a lot of value out of Fred so when people tell me it’s like w you lost Fred for nothing what are you talking about the time Ser the accolades the things he did in the Jersey are what the value is you expect the value to just go on and on forever no maybe we got out maybe we cut cut the stock before the stock T started to take a dip before the stock price was 43 million a year yeah I mean that’s just good management if you ask me that’s what I would say right there nothing for nothing nothing for nothing means nothing you gotta have something and Fred van bed has something the greatest undrafted player in the history of the NBA I’ll will say that you bring Moses Malone in my face I’ll say everybody knew Moses Malone was GNA do what he’s goingon to do you bring Ben Wallace to my face yeah Ben Wallace 610 what do you expect the frow makes him 72 what do you expect that man is Big you bring me Fred Van vet and ask me and tell me who’s the greatest undrafted player in the history of the NBA it is Fred Van bleet I’ll argue that point every single time and I’ll point to the facts that will tell you exactly that I’m right it’s just how it is that’s it smoth saying the thing with Gary is that if his three isn’t dropping he’s a negative no progression his game at all this is true you know the three was prolific and he made it but it wasn’t money it wasn’t Dependable there were so many times this year where Gary had open threes and he didn’t make them inexplicably I’m like the dude’s wide open how did he miss that what is going on with him oh his foot’s wrong he’s got plantar fitis he can’t Elevate off his foot for the first half of the season so he can’t make free throws either because that [ __ ] couldn’t make free throws in November last year I’m like why is Gary missing free throws he’s like a 90% free throw shooter in his career he’s missing free throws it’s because his foot’s messed up and he can’t live and then you see him coming at the basket attacking the basket at the beginning of the season last year he couldn’t get off the ground and people were blocking his ass from behind so what are we gonna do with that I’m sorry if the injury messed up your contract year I’m sorry if the new CBA messed up the contract year Gary is a perfect storm of [ __ ] whether it’s your agency whether it’s the new NBA whether it’s should plan our fasciitis it it just sucked it sucked for him it’s too bad it’s too bad yeah uh Smith saying he doesn’t offer anything else very disappointing tenure with Toronto really disappointing actually I don’t think so I don’t agree with that actually you know in some ways Gary showed up in the really craziest most chaotic time in the Raptor’s history Tampa and he came in as a good citizen he held things down and there was continuity with him to an extent as a player and a pro that was valued and respected and I appreciated so I can’t disagree with you I can’t say that his tenure was disappointing it was successful it’s just that it wasn’t successful at the end to the point where it could continue how about that yeah coolat saying I like guys who have four years college experience they’re usually more mature battle tested confidence only unicorn should be drafted out of high school or one year college this boom goes to Dynamite uh cool cat you want a dunk you get it coach because that sounds all good with what you’re saying there actually I’m going to give you a three-pointer 77 for you you’ve got actually the number of Jameson battle number 77 uh you know what I’m going to say this about what you’re saying I think you’re right I think that what has happened is the lowered age and all the young people coming in quickly because they’re worried about getting injured in school and not making any money is going to change now in some ways we’re GNA see more players like Carlson and shed because of the nil the players can now make money in college and if they’re that good maybe it’s worth staying down there and making the money and sticking around for a couple more years down there so this is a good good thing I like the nil because it it may mean that there’s better prepared NBA players coming in the league because the money’s good in college now and the whole reason that people jumped to the NBA was because of money and financial reasons so well there’s money in college now maybe these guys will stay down there and get more training and be better prepared NBA players coming into the draft than having to come in and learn from g-league ignite or g-league or any that kind of [ __ ] half assen and we have to teach them basic NBA basketball skills because they didn’t learn them from a coach like Dean Smith or uh Roy Williams or Mike shashy and [ __ ] like that that’s what I’m saying right there boom goes a dynamite cool cat you got a three-pointer Stargates here did uh good morning Raptor freaks uh let me see let me see what uh uh oh it jumped the head let me make sure I don’t miss anything that Stargate is saying did I missed one of legendar Al Lex legendary spaz outs yeah yeah and I don’t like you using that term I had a rant I had a freak out and it was for jonte yeah go watch it watch it later it’s pretty good it’s pretty damn good cool cat saying Lex always try moving forward part of life’s journey hang in there that’s exactly what I’m doing cool cat it’s really amazing that you just said that is I could dwell on the past I could dwell on the present I’m looking forward and you’re exactly right and I appreciate that advice from you and yeah it’s noted and I am on it I’m on it Wayne saying it seems so I missed the spaz too yeah let’s not use that word guys I don’t like that word that word is not s sensitive to people that have certain issues and I don’t like that word at all uh in fact I may actually take it out of here I had a freak out and that’s what I call him I had a rant and I ranted on Jon’s Audacity Of asking a judge to allow him to play in Greece uh professionally that’s why FY saying sending Positive Vibes to Lex and be strong send them to everybody send them to all involved because I love them that’s what I would say uh cool cat saying uh bronnie Jr is a great great business decision eyeballs discussion leads to money bronnie Jr drafted at 55 is a win-win situation not for bronny I don’t understand why you you think that this is just like the mccauly caulin family this is like the caulin parents forcing all their children into Hollywood and you know the the the destruction of a young person who’s not totally ready for all that you know this this smacks of child stars in Hollywood this this like Drew Barrymore story bronny James seriously if you really think about about this this is LeBron being a parent doing a couple things that in some ways you know I don’t know in some ways it’s not it’s not it’s not healthy it’s very toxic the bronny situation it’s very very toxic and people are coming out and trying to say things and support of Brony in the situation because it’s impossible for him he does not belong in the NBA he’s not good enough the the more summer Le’s played the more people’s eyes are like yeah this is exactly what I said two weeks ago that he’s it’s a waste of time time he’s going to be exposed and everybody’s going to understand exactly why he doesn’t belong in this league because he’s not good enough he’s doesn’t have the stats he doesn’t have the size he’s not a good enough player to play in this league and they’re all lying and just trying to force a reality on us that is not true and that’s the thing y’all can try and force perception to a reality you want but in the end the truth comes out whether it’s in politics Trump and other people whether it’s in uh the NBA with bronny James the truth will come out in the end and it’s sad because the destructive thing will happen to the young man and that that’s what I’m talking about right there yeah cool cat saying there’s an NBA policy that teams allow other teams to use their facilities yeah but that doesn’t make any sense if it’s all right what the [ __ ] cool cat if the Raptors and MSU jiri are giving a big paycheck to Win Casino to use their practice facility they’re paying money to do that are these other teams supposed to just piggyback and just be able to come in there no no I would say no if there’s a competitive Advantage bandied around by the Boston Celtics in certain ways if they’re going to be a certain way like turning down the heat in a very cold December day in their locker room for the visitors why the hell would we help the other teams like this it’s like Monique said though the repors are so great for doing this I’m like no [ __ ] I’m like Wayne strainer why are we helping them seriously they better be paying us by the hour to come down there this is different than our Arena this isn’t oh I get it the rule you’re talking about is for the arena that the players have to be able to work out in the Scotia Bank Arena but this is not what this is this is the Raptors privately getting a ball room rented for themselves to have the luxury for their players to do it what’s gonna happen when Alish Kay and Jonathan mobo get up in the middle of the night and say hey let’s go shoot around downstairs they go downstairs and the kings are down there shooting around like wa wait a second what you doing here Sacramento our players want 24 hour access to this court to utilize it this is why we’re paying this so much money to win Co Casino how who knows how much that casino ballroom costs per hour per day per week and somebody yeah no we be so friendly we’re Canadian we’re gonna be so nice oh welcome come on in yeah use our practice facility yeah just go ahead no [ __ ] that this is not the Scotia Bank Arena this is a win Ballroom Casino and we pay for it we we make the rules I don’t know if the NBA is adjudicating hey you know Messiah you’re going to have to let the Pacers come in and use your practice facility in the ballroom all of a sudden no that’s not fair and this isn’t the same that’s what I say right there yeah yeah Rand off saying Lex Gary Trent went from 18 million to minimum wage in a year when players are being paid that’s a shame it’s a tragedy it’s a tragedy and well he’s got a couple things to blame and I named them earlier yeah Mike saying raptors have an an Intel Hub in Vegas laugh out loud plus it increases the reputation of the Raptors as a super one first class organization that goes above and beyond for players on the Raptors see I don’t mind what’s been described as pickup games between NBA players that just happen to be in Vegas and want to come down there and play that does exactly what you’re saying right there Mike but when an official team comes down there with their squad and they want to run an official practice that’s a whole different other thing say you know Scotty Jonathan mobo uh Jaylen Brown and some other guys want to go out there and just run around the court at like two am and play an impromptu five on five that’s different than a team officially coming in and trying to run a real practice with their coaches and that’s the that’s the thing I’m trying to discern here in some ways the Raptors want to be nice guys and have a open court for people to run five15 just for fun and it’s unofficial that’s fine I have no problem with that the problem is when if there’s other teams coming in there and utilizing the facility and they’re not chipping in on the pill that’s what I’m saying right now that’s what I’m saying right there yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but I agree with you Mike the Intel Hub the the reputation Builder these are all great added benefits to what we are talking about right now I agree with you Stargate saying so what is this rumor I’m hearing about Colo may be getting clear to play again is there any truth to this yes yes Stargate I’m right on the top of this you know I spent all last year with you guys questioning what is going on with clo what’s going on with clo I’m trying to pay attention to coloo just because I know that’s a hot button Topic in Raptor’s world and we want to know well this is the official his medical doctors have cleared him to play he was cleared to play a couple months ago and he has resumed basketball uh activities he’s resumed he’s okay to play by the medical doctors that were watching over him and saying no it’s not safe for you well they say he’s okay now well now he’s applied in the last week to the NBA Fitness panel to Fitness to playay panel the one that says whether he can play or not the one that had to clear bronny James of his heart condition to be able to be eligible to draft well they’re going to come out and say he can now so this is what’s going to happen he’s officially not on our books he’s officially a free agent and he can sign with that whoever he wants so Christian was at summer league this week he’s been with the Raptors standing with Messi standing with Scotty Barnes and Chris Buche and talking to us and very much it’s showing an indication that we are interested in reclaiming him if he is cleared the play by this panel and that he may still be a raptor coming back a lot of speculation and some interviews he did with Arizona Wildcats University media he said that I’m not a raptor anymore and I’m looking forward to playing for my next team and I got really mad when he said that I was like don’t close the door on us we may want to reclaim you and have you come back if Messi ujiri is a man that is a badass and the way he is as the president of the Raptors he will go to Adam Silver and he will tell him Koko ours and you better let him come back to Toronto that’s what it’s at right there it’s in Lim there’s some ways we could get screwed in this and coloo may be on another team this year we’ll have to see how it works out but the Raptors are doing their due diligence and Koko sitting and watching our summer league games and hanging around with our players that’s a good sign is what I would say Stargate that’s a good sign he’s not over there with the heat talking to spuler and them he’s with us talking to Darko talking to Scotty and talking to Messiah so that’s what’s going on right there there’s your latest update start right there Brian saying laugh out loud I shaved my beard to join team smooth there you go team smooth yeah because you’re like doing the whole Grady and Gary thing you got to shave the beard now you’re on Grady’s team team smooth OG’s team team smooth team team uh Team shaved uh Gary’s team no no fy’s got the the the razor out for Brian there you go maybe fiery Sarah good help you Brian get those spots that’s right Mike saying shed will be team styled styled now team styled what does that mean team styled Oh you mean he’ll be in the Gillette commercials and he might be the beard for this year that could be a good one that could be a good one shed shed does seem like he’s got the best beard out of the other guys left I don’t know am I forgetting someone that seems like that’s right yeah yeah Tom Duke’s got the shed is that shed that’s shed right yeah that’s shed diamond diamond number 23 that’s right he’s wearing Freddy’s number and that’s crazy cool saying Norman is more complete player than Gary Trent Jr storman Norman NBA champion DNA keeps improving every year three level score bench mob Elite player all true all true uh let’s see cool cat saying allish com’s agent is Rich ball what is it with the big uh young uh cameroonians Koko and Kay Kay’s with him too ah well it’s worth it for allish right now let’s just hope that there’s no [ __ ] with this but ksh is a real one for the Raptors so at least we know that we know that he’s more of a real one for the Raptors than Koko is I I have a feeling in some ways ksh really is a raptor I’m telling you from that clip I saw yesterday he is a raptor in his heart Mike saying Powell is making like 20 million and the Clippers are at the point we were with Powell he’s still the same player he was for us Gary has potential for growth and our development system and Coach weren’t it you know I won’t totally disagree with Mike some of it is a little eh but I I won’t disagree with him in some ways Powell has not gotten whole lot better than when he left and the growth to get the value from the player wasn’t Gary being younger and developing up from where he was when he came to us so in some ways that’s why the right move was to flip poell Pal’s about to get paid we could pay Gary less and hopefully get him to grow into bigger and better things now Mike’s saying that our our uh development system and Coach weren’t it for him well that’s [ __ ] no that’s not what happened here you know in some ways Nick did a really good job of developing the other side of the ball for Gary where that he actually became known as a two-way player after he came to Toronto because he was not known for his defense in any kind of way when he was on the Blazers so that was an immediate Boon of value grown in Gary Trent from Nick nurse and getting him out as a good Defender and Steals and stuff then what happened was this last year with Darko in some ways Gary’s game does not fit darko’s system Gary’s a very isolation I’m one-on-one going to break you down on my own kind of guy in some ways he tried valiantly this season much like SE yakum to break his isolation habits before with nurse and learn the point five passing offense of Darko rakovich but in some ways Gary was never actually a fit for the the program of Darko so the natural of Letting Go and the way it happened this summer was probably going to happen no regardless because of the way Gary likes to get the ball and score and that it’s just how it is in some ways we could say we failed him this year but sure that Darko was trying to develop him to the system that he wants to run and Gary did his best even though he hurt on the download to try and make Darko pleased and do what he said there were signs that Gary was very much trying to fit in to darko’s system even if it didn’t fit his very special most important Powers so that’s really what it is there I can’t blame the coach in the development because the coach has his own system and Gary in some ways didn’t fit it so yeah Stargate saying oh all rich is with clutch oh boy yeah I don’t like that at least the kids 18 at least we’re gonna have some time at least he’s totally Raptors in his heart that will help in the long run seriously Carlos saying uh Gary was given the green light but sadly he could never grow into more than a one-dimensional player see I don’t agree with this you guys keep saying he’s a onedimensional player he had two Dimensions at least but in this league it seems like you need three or four to absolutely be a complete player in some ways it’s not that he wasn’t good on both sides of the court it’s just he wasn’t consistent enough with his offense that was the problem we couldn’t depend on Gary to get us double digits every single night and that was a problem that was a problem all I wanted was at least 12 a night but there would be nights Gary would be very very bad shooting and he’d have like five or six points at the end of the game that that’s no good especially in this season uh this year when your contract is up that’s right right there Trevor saying I’m going to Phoenix on Friday night with my friend he’s working the allstar game on Saturday so I will be in the house yeah cool so Trevor’s going to go from Vegas to Phoenix after the Raptors finish up their summer league now Trevor you’re leaving too soon I’m gonna say this right now you’re gonna go to the Phoenix All-Star game but you may miss out on the Raptors winning the Summer League Championship because you’re going to the Phoenix WNBA All-Star Game seriously the game on Friday won’t be the last game the Raptors play they’re going to be playing another game and hopefully it’ll be for the championship and wouldn’t you want to be there for the Raptor is winning Summer League Championship so I I know you guys want to do everything and go everywhere but I wouldn’t go to Phoenix yet no by the time you get the Phoenix you want summer league to be over and maybe that doesn’t jive with the schedule of going there maybe you can bounce back maybe you can I don’t know you’re high high flutin Ric Flair jet flying Space Mountain guy why don’t you go to Phoenix but come right back to Vegas and make sure you make that Raptors championship game if they’re playing for the championship in summer league I would say that Trevor just real quick Mike saying Tampa set the development system back and Nick wasn’t the right coach to focus on development boom boom boom nothing wrong with that everything right there checks uh Carlos saying going back to the start of the stream is worth it for the Wednesday freak out right on Lex yeah y’all watch it again later clip me out clip me out put me on uh Raptor spaces put me on Facebook in Raptor places and let them see how I felt about jonte and the audacity of his request to the court yesterday yeah it didn’t go long he asked them in the morning they told him that night it didn’t take long no the judge is like yeah I don’t have to review this for very long what the [ __ ] do you think you are you know part of it is Jon’s wife is pregnant and apparently she’s in Greece already and she’s like waiting for him she’s like come to Greece and he’s using that as part of the excuse of why he wanted to go to Greece professionally is because his pregnant wife is there and he wants to reunite with her nobody gives a [ __ ] you’re a felon you’re a [ __ ] degenerate Gambler and you need to be getting going to court and seeing what happens with with the federal things that are going to happen to you in the United States if not in Canada also so yeah Jon you ain’t going nowhere this sounds like some [ __ ] where like somebody does a crazy crime it sounds like one of your little buddies that did the gambling with you going to the [ __ ] JFK airport and trying to fly out and they arrested him on his way out this is what this sounds like Jon seriously like like you could you could try and go over there and grow a big huge beard and gree I’m like ah junk tape Porter I don’t know who you’re talking about I’m Greek you know I don’t [ __ ] know what you’re gonna do Jon with your [ __ ] so why should the American Judicial System let you have a privilege to go play in a foreign country while you’re awaiting uh one of the most scandalous scandals in sports history in recent times what the [ __ ] who do you think you are oh my gosh he’s crazy man Trevor saying I saw a clip with Alish and Grady having a Three-Point Shootout that’s fun yeah they dared allish he’s like yeah I’ll take a three bam he hit it that’s awesome I love it Tommy saying I have seen them yearning for him what have you seen from him I haven’t off seon right now and he just had his situation changed with being traded why calling him names because he isn’t telling us no Tom listen venkov has his rights to do whatever he wants if he really wanted to show up he would show up like Davon Mitchell he’d be around the Raptors already he’s made his choice the Rumblings about him not wanting to be in the NBA are true so Tommy why do you want somebody who doesn’t want us that’s what I would say to you no there’s no void of information the void is in his presence and that’s the problem he didn’t want to be in the NBA anymore he started saying that in May once again Tom I spelled this out for everybody on the channel the jayen McDaniels trade was too good to be true and the part of it that was too good to be true was the headache of Ven [ __ ] off that he needed to be gotten rid of in the Kings because he was toxic and he is a problem for them and they had guaranteed money on him and it’s a headache and they want to free that money up they want to even get lesser on their salary cap so this is a business move to take Jaylen McDaniels off us a headache and well Messiah and Bobby in their heads and there you goes thought well maybe we can talk Sasha to coming well Sasha’s not showing up Sasha’s not coming so why do you want to kiss his ass and pine for him and hope that he’s showing up he’s already shown us his decision the fact that he didn’t show up and Bruce Brown showed up wearing a cowboy hat tells me enough right there oh I got all kinds of appreciation love for Bruce Brown showing up as a raptor summer league showing up to Emanuel quickley and Scotty Barn’s contract signing Sasha van shenko wasn’t sitting there so it’s as simple as that Tommy you can read between the lines and understand why that man is not in my good books because he’s doing Azo morning is that all you need to know he’s doing Alonzo Morning he’s doing a Kenny Anderson so you go ahead Tommy you go ahead and pine for him and wish for him and say well why are you calling him names because he’s made his decision it’s obvious and yeah there’s a whole lot to it but listen I can look at it and say Sasha is not trying to come here he’s trying to get out of it and Messiah is trying to stand up for our team so we don’t get walked over so that’s the situation right there the man wants money for nothing he wants uh he wants the MTV yeah he wants that money for nothing and the chicks for free yeah he just wants to take the money the contract that we owe him because we have his contract now because we traded for it and he doesn’t want to play for us but he still wants us to pay seven million what is that Tom why is that admirable why do you want that seriously seriously why you want that that’s right Stargate saying because Drew Jones is an actual basketball coach that’s right Monique Monique’s like yeah this is upgrade upgrade and a half right there yeah what do you means Sasha’s not told us his decision yet yeah yes yeah yes he told the Kings he doesn’t want to play for them next year they traded him they traded him to us they traded their headache to us so there you go Messiah like I said Darko Messiah they’ve talked to him they say hey will you come play with us and he hasn’t shown up that’s all you need to know right there they’re negotiating right now the numbers to let him out of his contract that’s what’s going on that’s what Messi’s doing right now in some ways Messi’s trying to say like I’ve said if you’re not going to come play for us we want you to just null and void your contract and go home you can go play for Greece we’re not going to stop you but to expect us to pay you for not doing anything you what you’re gonna do a kawhai you’re gonna sit out professionally for a year and just take the 7 million from us you can’t play in Greece you can’t play in Greece and I don’t give a [ __ ] if the Greek fans come in and try and Strongarm a propaganda in comment sections all over Raptor space is say free Sasha free Sasha I don’t give a [ __ ] Messiah is the one in charge on this he has his contract and until they figure out a buyout or a straight up null and void that contract which is what I think it should be he ain’t going nowhere because the Raptors have his rights and then FBA and NBA working it out well the ba supersedes feba and the contract that he’s on with us is more important than some convoluted ass Greek contract that has been reported in the last couple weeks so I’m just saying that’s where it is Tom that’s where it is Trevor saying Gary went from $15 an hour at $2 now yikes is he gone to serving is he working on tips now that’s Tom saying again I will trust in Messiah and wait and see before being dramatic I’m not being dramatic I’m reading the situation as it is I’m reading the information Tommy I’m digging deep I I did a very similar thing with Koko that I’m doing with venkov I went and looked for all the information I could find out about it and this is what has lead me to this opinion I’m sorry there were Rumblings of him in May saying that he’s done with the NBA he don’t want to play in the NBA more he doesn’t respect the game he thinks the NBA is a joke he thinks that FBA competition is much more pure and better over there in the Greek league and he doesn’t want to try and play in the NBA anymore but he signed a two-year contract last year with guarant money this is the whole problem right here Tom if you can’t understand what I’m saying I don’t know how to explain it to you any better that’s what it is right there this is not me being dramatic this is just the truth of The Situation messiah’s fighting for our rights and our our interests as a franchise so I commend him uh Mike’s saying Nick was an old school developer hard parent style doesn’t work as much as it did in the past Jam has the right style for uh players today with the social media negativity is Multiplied and has an effect yeah he’s a r Sunshine he is an encourager he’s a positive guy he gets a lot with sugar whereas Nick may have got it with the the bidder yeah yeah no this is a really good uh uh dichotomy of CH differences between those Nick in some ways is not a development coach Nick as a coach is really good with vets like our championship team and just kind of sitting back and letting them do their thing some of y’all have even said Kyle Lowry’s kind of the coach of our championship team and I won’t disagree with them I won’t I wanton G’s here good to see G trivia Champion number one season one Champion good morning freaks listen in hands are full great comments great rant great crew thank you G I appreciate that uh fiery saying not vien [ __ ] off Lex I will watch our summer league game later but also the Serbia versus USA in 10 minutes I want to see yic and bogdanovich in the matchup this is interesting now USA played a game against Australia earlier this week and Australia came real close they were they they did better than Canada did they only lost by like six points or something and a lot of people were like worried about USA after that game a lot of critics of Joel embiid and how he’s playing for USA and yeah there’s some problems there their three-point shot ain’t going in and the in some ways the USA was saved by Anthony Davis the other night and his double double and his Excellence as just being a pure physical Talent Anthony Davis well this will be a big test and I didn’t know they’re playing today in some ways I have so much keeping up with summer league and Team Canada that I had no idea you is playing right now in fact y’all there’ve been announced a couple more friendlies for Team Canada coming up we’re gonna play France on Friday I have decided I am gonna do a watch along for that game and we’re gonna do a watch Along on Sunday this weekend too when Team Canada plays Puerto Rico on Sunday so yeah be ready for two more watch alongs where I’m calling the game Friday and Sunday I’m gonna make it happen on Sunday I’ve decided I’m going to go ahead and do it anyway I’ll do a preview for the summer league game also at the same time when we’re doing the that France game on sun on Friday so yeah mark your calendars Friday and Sunday watch alongs with me for two hours uh the full team Canada games we’ll be doing that yeah there you go but yeah I want to see maybe USA is susceptible today and they end up taking an L to Serbia a wakeup call right away yeah in some ways I’d rather them beat Serbia now and lose to them in the Olympics uh caros saying is that in 10 minutes thanks for reminding us fiery I will go watch that too yeah where’s the USA Serbia game showing you probably find it on YouTube for free guys I’m not lying they put a lot of those games on free there uh uh shishi good to see you I think I’m saying your name right shishi uh thoughts on jacobe Walter I think he’s a fantastic value at pick number 19 and I think that we’re going to see more and more of him coming out starting tonight last game he got 12 points he showed some flashes the first game wasn’t a whole lot but the second game A buildup I’m GNA think we’re going to see even more tonight I want to predict that jacobe Walter gets 20 points today for the Raptors especially if Grady dick is out and not going to play We may see more going to Walter and we may get to see him actually be more in full force of what he can do I love the pick it’s such a value at 19 thank you for being here shishi every morning 9:30 a.m. we’re talking Raptors and Team Canada basketball WNBA in Toronto too yeah Trevor saying Alex SAR had zero points 0 for 15 and 0 for seven in 30 minutes that’s weak ass a draft class he also plays for the Wizards let’s not forget that right you know what’s sad I looked at the Wizards box scores and Maris isn’t even getting to play they haven’t even put him in he’s sitting on the bench like Joe Gerard III for us it’s sad in some Maris is biting the Chom he wants a chance he’s not even getting an ability to come in and play for the summer league team for the Wizards guys ah I feel bad for him in some ways I want Maris to get his dream in some ways his ideas of what his success and what he’s going to be realis able to do is just not realistic it’s a dream world and man Maris noell you’re not even getting uh time on the summer league team in the rotation this is bad I feel bad for him I really do uh Kareem saying uh hang on uh don’t let me jump on this okay I’ve uh been listening to Raptor tribia for almost two years now not once have I heard a question about Percy Miller I’m kind of sad about this Lex when are we going to make him say uh I don’t know why I thought I did do a Percy Miller question at least once maybe I didn’t I don’t know now you’re gonna make me feel like I have to do this Kar you know what this is a glaring hole you’re right this is a glaring hole why you do this you make me to give you a dunk even when you’re criticizing me it’s hilarious no it’s true I should make a masterp question at some point there should be a masterp question all right 190 Kareem at 190 dunks now yeah that’s funny that is funny he brought this brought up Percy Miller why Mike saying uh Braun basically fed his son to the Lakers fans it’s not going to go well that’s a big part of it right there that’s a big part of it you know oh my gosh Laker fans and some of them are mad at you LeBron some of them are mad at you how you think they’re gonna feel about your son oh my gosh this is such a mess Mike Point pointing out a really big important thing that’s true Wayne saying a summer league stats where are we in the standings anticipating finals participation all right let me go check this again because I can check this I will go ahead and check it let me see hang on let me go to the page where I can look all right bear with me I will go get the summer league standings and I’ll tell you exactly where we are right now um um go to NBA and then go here and then go to standings all right um there’s some teams that are three and 0 already so two teams are three and0 now the Clippers and the Spurs so they’re now one and two um all right if I go to differential that’ll tell me more okay so if the Spurs if those two teams that I just named the Clippers and the Spurs are one and two because they’re three and0 already uh then Memphis is third Miami is fourth Orlando is Fifth and the Raptors are sixth currently now we need to be in the top two to play for the championship so we need to win out we need to win today we need to win on Friday and we’re 4 and0 and we have two one of the two highest point differentials will play for the championship so it’s very much still a possibility we have to continue to be perfect and win by a lot of points that’s basically it right there so in some ways we can’t just win close games we have to win blowouts and possibly or double digit leads so that’s where we’re at we’re sixth in the summer league currently right this moment but we win today we could Leap Frog over the Clippers and the Spurs because they’re three and0 right now but we’re 2-0 and there are some other teams so we’re sixth currently Wayne that’s where we’re at right now uh let’s see Stargate saying at Lex my apologies for using that word wasn’t meant to be in sensive nor to bring the Integrity of your stream you know what it’s just something that you know I I have some people have very special in my life and that’s a word because people have spasms and people have things they can’t control because of their body and when people call somebody a it’s actually not very nice it’s not very nice and uh this is part of why I’m emotional today it’s all good uh Wayne saying no friends in the industry period there you go uh Mike is saying uh we need a big points win over the Jazz to stay in the hunt yeah I agree with this especially if the Miami game’s gonna be closer we need to blow out the Jazz today that’s right Wayne saying big points 10 to 15 15 to 20 how are the Jazz are they any good they’re one in one they’re not in the picture so yeah 12 to 20 is solid Mike’s on on that one yeah and thank you Mike from Wayne I’m gonna give Mike dunk for information and he’s exactly right he’s exactly right uh I’ll give you a three-pointer 69 Mike you’re at 69 now yeah uh that’s about right 12 to 20 point lead coolat saying Lex Pascal is not only an isolation player did you see him on the Pacers fastpac system midseason without camp training Pascal has many bags Gary Trent Jr Limited in his game so far he needed point guard skills you know it’s crazy because he’s trained as a point guard you know I wasn’t trying to dis seak I understand he’s got other parts to him and that the Pacers are trying to develop those other parts but also at the same time he can fit in with what he does really well on the Raptors too with with it already no I wasn’t trying to diss him I was just trying to say that in the system with Nick that’s what we did was that he was very heavy with isolation and that was Nick’s decision honestly so uh Mike saying it’s part on Gary Trent he wasn’t enough to get to the next level with his passing but I think Nick’s system wasn’t great for a beginning passing guard based on the way Nick liked to play well he really didn’t do him any help by really letting him do whatever he want with the side steps and all that kind of stuff some ways that’s his strength Gary’s like demard de R rozan he needs contact he needs a defender in his face if he’s too wide open he’s missing so it’s almost like Gary had to come in and engage the the defense and make a tougher shot and you make it in some ways I hate that kind of player take the easy stuff make the easy stuff and when dear used to try and beat two on ones or three on ones it would drive me crazy 10 years ago it absolutely drove me crazy I’m like dude dump it off to Terrence give it to Kyle and meanwhile dear’s trying to beat the whole team by himself well Gary has a little bit of that himself and that was part of the problem that was part of the problem Stargate saying any injury updates on Grady and Jonathan not that I know of right now what I could do is I could go ahead and go and see on Blake Murphy’s uh Instagram what he’s saying he usually has an update or something let’s go see no he doesn’t have anything right this second there’s no current word on it I could even go to ESPN site and kind of look at them and see there’s nothing on there they’re telling from the depth chart or information they’re not updating injury reports like they do during the regular season where I could tell you up to the minute so what Jama said yesterday in the practice interview is they’re gonna try them out this morning and shoot around and see where they’re at now I would say don’t even try Grady don’t play them today we don’t need Grady tonight some way open the door for jacobe Walter to come out there and be that guy tonight and some ways Grady is not there well jacobe may need to step up so but there’s no official word Stargate there’s a possibility they could still play tonight but in some ways I’d say don’t play Grady play Jonathan if you can for sure uh Mike saying Stargate yeah kind is still evaluating them in the next couple days yeah they gotta evaluate them right now because that game’s at five Mike they gotta evaluate them right now that’s right uh Kareem sand Trevor your frequent error Flyer points must be Immaculate and probably be in the frequent flyers FL flight of Fame man Kareem’s really trying to play that piano today I’m I’m not this too much of a tongue twister I can’t I can’t give you a dunk for that one Mike saying the Kings got dear with space from our trade from our trade yeah yeah so in some ways they they help Demar come there ah I think it’s silly I love that dear’s wearing 10 again but also I’m hating on dear right now just partly because of this confusion with him and Kendrick Lamar it is what it is in some ways I don’t wish any I you know what in some ways you know what it is I’m neutral with dear at this point I don’t hate him I love dear I theault is to love dear but I’m not as big a fan of his as I was a month ago and that’s sad in some ways he pushed some of his Toronto fans away recently and he really didn’t need to do that we are so loyal and die hard for you and in some ways dear it was destructive what you did and in some ways if you want to make it right with us we’re fine we’ll do that but in some ways also you’re losing me to an extent over time like we see you this year when we play the Kings it’s not going to be the same as how I felt in other times when we play against you I’d actually root for you when you were on the Spurs against us when you’re on the Bulls I didn’t anymore so yeah it is what it is it’s a weird situation with Demar de Rosen that’s for sure uh Wayne saying Gary had no lift even before his foot issues last year we saw many Breakaway plays Gary flubbed sometimes he could have passed to a more open layup and he didn’t do the right play skill C is limited there you go I’m not going to disagree with Wayne in some ways I don’t want kick Gary on his way out he’s a very wellbeloved Raptor in his time here I appreciate Gary Trent Jr I wish him the best going forward that’s what I say Stargate saying Sasha can kick rocks go play in Greece but we ain’t paying you I mean that’s just just if you don’t want to play for us why do we pay you money if you’re not even gonna put on a Raptor Red uniform at any point in time why are we paying you money that’s right bashka [ __ ] off that’s what I say that’s right FY saying Sasha we don’t need you yeah that’s right that’s right Tom Duke saying that is the first time I’ve heard he wants to leave the Raptors you explained your reasoning thanks yeah it’s not even that he wanted to leave the Raptors it’s the NBA in general it’s not really anything personal against us he doesn’t like the NBA he feels like it’s a lower competition than where he came from in some ways he’s making excuses because he didn’t fit in in Sacramento he wasn’t successful and he felt like he’s wasted his time you got to think about this way Tom you’re taking the Michael Jordan of the Greece League the MVP the leading scorer you’re putting in the NBA he comes in he’s a bench player he’s hardly getting any minutes he’s in the rotation hardly ever and uh in some ways he’s like I’m wasting my time I thought I wanted to come to the NBA but it’s not what I thought it would be and oh crap I have one more year on my contract that’s the situation right there Tom in some ways I told you if he was gonna show up and be here and want to be on the Raptors he would have already he would have shown up with Davon Mitchell the player he was traded with to come here I love you Tommy I I don’t want you to think that I’m going off on you I just want to make sure that you’re informed and I know that in some ways you’ve missed some chats and uh streams recently because probably because you’re very busy this summer and I I appreciate you but yeah there’s stuff I’ve said about venko that you may have missed in the last week or so where I have explained what’s going on with them but it’s all good Tommy we love you yeah W streams W Vibes thank you Mo’Nique thank you for the cuto off in some ways and it looks like our poll is pretty much mostly figured out it looks like it’s 78% believe Norman Powell was a better career in the Raptors than Gary Trent and I think it really is kind of the way that Norman won a championship with us that puts it over the top on that one yeah all right let’s see what else are we saying here okay hang on I was on Mo’Nique yeah cut cut it off for sure guys because I do definitely need to uh get done we are over uh two hours so we’ll figure this out um where was it was Monique’s last comment was the last one I was on okay there we go Mike saying Canada needs to make that money from friendly TV rights you know some people are very critical of the Canada basketball not doing the right job of promoting Us in some ways they need better partners and sponsors to put the Canada basketball on blast and get it more out there yeah yeah Wayne saying what’s the update on a summer league injuries yeah I kind of answer that just a little while ago uh Trevor saying I’m only going to Phoenix for the All-Star Game and right back to Vegas I’m staying with my friends since I’ve been here in Vegas at his house okay perfect perfect I don’t want you to miss this Trevor if this is going to happen perfect that’s perfect Trevor Mike saying Nick liked his guards to create the First Advantage off the dribble and kick swing passing isn’t building passing skills yeah and that’s a totally different philosophy than darkos obviously the swing passing Nick didn’t want us to pass because he wanted cut down on turnovers and the more you pass the more likely you’re going to turn the ball over darkos is different he says Ah there’s gonna be turnovers you gotta break some eggs to make a cake and that’s kind of darko’s philosophy difference between Nick right there right there that’s right uh let’s see Co saying Nick nurse can be a development coach if he wants nurse wants skilled players already and then handsome nurse did good with Scotty nurse hates low IQ players laugh out loud that’s true that’s all pretty true I don’t know if you can give so much to Scott of Scott to Nick I’m gonna say this Scotty made the jump last summer and Nick left him high and dry before the end of the season so can we say that Scotty’s leap to an All-Star last summer was partly because Darko showed up all of a sudden and maybe he changed Scott and helped him become what he came last year I’m not willing to give Scott uh Nick credit for this I’ll give Brian Makin more credit for what’s happened with Scott and Scotty himself and Darko and the switch and how much he made a leap last summer that’s what I always say in some ways you can’t say this cool cat because in the summer after his rookie year Nick wasn’t there helping him he was with us on Twitch and that is a big difference right there that’s right uh Nick nurse is just specific spefic on what he wants the entry skills for the players hard to change his mind he loves Scotty and Koko he loved the original bench mom if he love Koko so much why the [ __ ] did he [ __ ] up his rookie career so bad yeah yeah Nick is why are you standing up for Nick nurse Nick nurse was a Jabron and at the end of his career with the Raptors he totally subdued and sabotaged our team including Delano Bon and Christian Koko how could you say that he liked Koko he totally dropped the ball with how to manage him in his rookie year and it’s it really actually hurt us with coloo it really did so yeah I can’t agree with that I can’t agree with that all right let me go over my tabs and just make sure I miss anything that we wanted to talk about today guys in the community tab I’m continuing to post the fiveyear anniversary clips of our summer after our Championship if you want to see how Lex celebrated the summer we won the championship in 2019 well go to the community tab you can see on the day five years ago uh what I was doing it’s kind of crazy some of the stuff it’s pretty funny uh I did the Instagram stories okay there’s a a ranking out this morning on ESPN it’s a power ranking for how the all 30 teams the NBA did on their offseason questions and you know what they didn’t sewer us too bad I was expecting to be in the 20s of course but we’re actually above the Bulls which is awesome they’ve got us 24th out of 30 they say our notable editions are Jacoby Walter Davon Mitchell and Garrett Temple are notable departures Jaylen McDaniels and Gary Trent Jr Toronto committed a ton of future money including 224 million over 5 years to Scotty Barnes and 175 million over 5 years to Emanual quickly but aside from that it’s been a relatively quiet free agency for the Raptors they’re still in the early stages of their rebuild after dealing away seaka and anobi last season and will be leaning heavily on internal development this fall backup point guard Davon Mitchell whom Toronto traded for prior to free agency was the team’s biggest veteran pickup this summer I don’t know if this is all true and once again ESPN’s only looking at the free agency they’re not talking about our draft and that’s where they should probably be talking about the draft was really the place where we hit the Home Run that’s for sure all right let me see is there anything else oh there’s birthdays today guys once again it is OG’s birthday today guys happy birthday OG anobi Toronto Raptor NBA champion uh Raptor will be beloved forever we love you OG and we know you’re a New York Nick now it’s fine but we wish you well

was crazy and that is the problem we have poor government well Calamity happens and that flood is going to happened again it happened 10 years ago and they didn’t learn from it well they didn’t do anything about it in the 10 years they saw what happened so instead of maybe Buck a beer [ __ ] at a corner store why don’t you start [ __ ] taking care of the infrastructure premere Ford you [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] yeah I’ll say that in some ways it’s a eyesore and it’s it’s disgusting how this city is not prepared for Calamity like what happened yesterday so stupid you spend all that money on the Union Station renovation and it’s just [ __ ] underwater what what the [ __ ] is wrong with you politicians get your head out of your ass stop making sweetheart deals to destroy the green belt which would prevent some of the flood plane action that happened yesterday you take the trees out of the ground it doesn’t soak up the water and then the water is all over the lak shore and the DVP and [ __ ] got their car underwater all of a sudden so yeah get your head out of your ass politicians spend our tax money in the right way instead of pilot projects to put [ __ ] beer in convenience stores you piece of [ __ ] Doug Ford yeah a little bit of a r at the end there you go you learn from your mistakes you fix them you didn’t learn jack [ __ ] from 2013 did you yeah all right y’all
