Not happening…. Bet on it but 🤞
An athletic big man next JP could be a big difference maker.
Kuminga is not happening. The raptors cannot add another soon-to-be expensive player that isnt yet producing at the rate he is paid. They need to draft their next star to pair with Scottie. They will trade players that dont fit timeline like boucher, poeltl, and brown and they will look for draft picks or players with potential on rookie scale contracts.
If Kuminga thinks he can ask for a max contract he is in the twilight zone.
All of that talking about why the Dubs and Kuminga may not work out long term and why the raptors might want him and I have to stop the video before I can hear what the Raptors have that they would want in return… I like Chomche but he's 4 years away and his salary doesnt match up to a #7 pick 4th year salary, The Dubs may loke Mogbo but similar salary issues but his ceiling is deemed much lower than Kumingas, they already have too many guards and Toronto cant give up Jacob. Why would they trade Kuminga for his pre-extension salary instead of waiting months for a much more valuable package? (The Raptors dont have 35 million of non-Barnes talent) (Don't bring up Boucher please) I know the need for content exists, but this is silly.
if the price is right go get him
Can we afford him?
Lol. Why you wanna waste this teams money time and development on another project. CHOMCHE worth waaaaay more if he unlocked. The kid is 18, 7 ft and can run down the court in the blink of an eye.
People keep sayimg if kuminga develops here under a movement shooter offfence he will be restored. Into what? Tf was the Warriors offence? He had 4 yrs under KERR!
Enough. Clean your room first before even thinking of adding another potential restorable piece of furniture.
He's worth MAYBE Boucher and a second at best (although I like Boucher's play this year). His current team doesn't believe in him, his 3 doesn't exist. Shooting 37% from the field as a PF is not good. He doesn't fit into Darko's system. Personally, I'm moving on, he's going to suck up minutes from Mogbo and Battle who have higher upside IMO. I prefer what we have thank you.
Kuminga doesn't fit. We should get a Center or taller PF
If they can get Kuminga I say they should go for it. Strong, athletic work in progress…. Obviously Barnes is off the table but if they wanted RJB I would seriously consider it…. Or even Jakob. Kuminga is the type of player needed
Not sure why GSW would do it though unless they get something tangible back…. Plus wouldn’t Kuminga be an RFA now??
Hope we do get this guy got dick who can shoot lights out for the 3 and battle is pretty good too go get this man raps
I don't see Kuminga becoming a max player and don't think he's a good fit for the Raps. I'd love to see them go after a young PF like Tari Eason. With a proper PF they could move Scottie to SF and RJ to SG (where they'd dominate defensively). Then Dick could light it up off the bench and be the primary scoring option on the second unit.
We should make a move for a player like that and tank out the season.
Raps will always be closely linked to African players – and it's worked for the team. Kuminga and Coach Kerr's relationship is over according to the beat guys out there.. So it's not a crazy video topic. I feel like Dubs shopping Kuminga is going to start inside the next couple days another loss and it's real. Kuminga is not easy to trade for…. his 8M rookie deal means matching salary/talent player for player is not an option so it's a deal about prospects and picks. But he's going to be making real money imminently and you have to have space for it and if he's already showing "personality" – How many teams are really ready for that ?? The winning deal for both sides is Wiggins and Kuminga for Brown Boucher Walter and a pick. Brown helps GSW now; Boucher doesn't hurt them in this campaign – but more importantly it gives GSW 64+ million in wide open cap this offseason ( Brown Boucher Looney Payton II and others are expiring) to land another megastar of their own choosing that they are constantly linked too. Then our (Raptors) only problem becomes Minutes & Matchups because with all these guys potentially – and prospects – they simply have to make some noise.
Nah it’s not the right time to take another swing at a mid, big money player
Game 5 of no BBQ.. it’s going to be a long season, smh.
I don’t see this trade happening. If we not giving them picks. They will want a star player. RJ. Or sick etc in exchange and Raps won’t agree
@ben rogers i give it a 3 percent chance. reason being warriors and raptors have not done a deal in a long time, meaning when the warriors wanted siakam or og, they were low balling. they were not even willing to give kuminga for og. its likely the warriors will over value kuminga and ask for multiple 1st round picks for him killing any deal.
personally i would only give a davion mitchell straight up for kuminga and thats it.
Ben moving up in the Raptors organization standing on the Raptors court 👏 😢
African heritage player ….ujiri wants him …..I am shocked…lol…….but naw man he’s a baller hope ujiri knows his family back home and get him .
NTY , I am happy what we have now, why take a risk for someone not a Star and looking for Max contact?
I DON'T WANT KUMINGA … BUDDY YOU GOTTA STOP THROWING BAD PURPOSALS … TALK ABOUT DRAFT
Kuminga has spent too much time with Wiggins. He's going to be a contract year player at best.
Is trading for a guy who is only on the market because he thinks he should be getting a max in his contract year "buying low" or "renting a massive headache to be a cancer in the locker room"?
Why would we trade for another athletic wing who cant shoot? This team needs shooting. Kuminga isn't coming to the Raps.
How about we have Scottie healthy first, build around him, 4 year in, still waiting..I'm a huge Scottie fan, but it's tough when u watch him play and ure like damn…even when his healthy, u are like, really dude.
So much talent, unfortunately very immature.
As for Kuminga thing..hahaha, stop it, u are better than this, anyway the player that they should of got last year and couldn't is Moses Moody, me personally I think his way better player and now it's 2 late and Steve Kerr agrees.
I read an article, I wanna say during preseason that stated maybe we bet our marbles on the wrong guy. Not to say Barnes doesn't have a future with this organization. But with R.J's performance during the latter part of last season, playing for Team Canada and what he's been able to do leading into the season before his shoulder injury. Maybe we should be focusing on a team that can fit Barrett?? 🤔
We need an Athletic big man with a bad attitude like Serge Ibaka. Mess with out players he lowers the boom. We don't have that guy on the roster that invokes fear.
Did you not do this already? SB is the PF of Raptors, Warriors want to attach 3 years of Andrew Wiggins to any trade. No thanks. There will be no trades until December, how about talking about basketball
Don’t want non-shooters. Unless we focus on 3-pt shooting to complement our stellar defence, we won’t beat Boston.
Go Raptors Go
No money for this build with reasonable contracts like Herb Jones around BBQ.
another story that wont come true haha
Trade for zach Edey or Ben Simmons
we suck lol, all these rumours and nothing has happened
I don't mind be wrong, but this is not happening!
I'd rather get Cooper Flagg.
No one cares. I don't know which front office is more inept. Blow Jays or the ruptures. They went from championship contending teams to laughing stock in like 5 years. They have both done, literally, nothing in the last 5 years. How does Ujiri and Shatkins sleep at night knowing their teams are a joke? The ruptures, especially, have gone from first to worst. They have let their championship team go with zero adequate replacements.
Lol can we just let our raptors edge winning and get a good pick in a loaded draft? Am I missing something? Why does everyone want this team to win right now? We obv have the talent to win… but PLEASE DON’T WIN lmao think about the long run. Our big 3 will gel then we get to go into a loaded draft w one of the greatest drafters our league has seen in Masai 🤦🏾♂️
Kuminga is ass. I don't know why people want that bricklayer
Dude he wants a max. Lol. He turned down 35 million a season from Golden State. Hell no we don’t want this bum
we should bring back carlson
Imagine this a top 5 pick with a core
Of
Quickley
Barnes
Kuminga
Dick
And a top 5 pick
That core is good enough with more maturity and experience to make a run in the playoffs it will take 2-3 years for them to develop but the potential is sky high
and why would we want him, i never wanted him and I still don't want him on our team. Hard PASS!!!!!!!
"basically"
I’d rather wiggins. Need a backup big man though.
