What Position Should The Raptors Target If They Trade Their First Round Pick | Raptors Show
Oren Weisfeld joins The Raptors Show with Will Lou and explains why the Toronto Raptors should target a center if they are going to trade their first round pick.
They should take a center and shooting guard. Chris Boucher is not that good, and Gary Trent is like good then bad. If they get lucky, they can maybe draft Bronny James.
Don't trade this years pick do next year's and keep Gary you won't find a better player who does what Gary does and at that age, look to trade for that 3rd guard maybe Bogdan Bogdanović and stop with Poeltl love way to many raptors media people have such a strong bias towards that guy and he doesn't solve enough issues to trade for him. You need that 3rd guard who can hit his threes and still be able to drive to the hope with his dribble. And if there's one main player to trade to make a trade happen to get what the raptors need that player has to be Fred who's already regressing and going into his 30s, you don't want to sign a guy like him who's 6 foot to a max contract.
We aren't going to be a winning team for years to come, so this should be the play: – Keep Gary – Don't trade away any picks – Break up the team – Trade Pascal and Fred for picks – Get rid of Flynn and Birch – Build team around Scottie, OG, Gary, Precious, and Koloko
Trade for a good playmaker that is capable for controlling the offense but at the same time trade for a good center. Personally I would like to trade Fred, Gary, Bo Cruz, Flynn, Birch and two future second round picks for KAT. KAT is a really good shooter for a big man, has good rebounding, also a good finisher at the rim, and a solid shot blocker. He would be the best fit for a big man on our team.
Trading the first round pick is stupid. I’m sorry, we have young guys but we need more upside players. We need a freakin center and a real point guard who create plays. Any trade needs to about getting us back to the next level to compete with the Bucks and Celtics.
Realistic Trade Targets: Cole Anthony, Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poetl, Myles Turner, Spencer Dinwiddie, would love to add Malcom Brogdon but Boston will be keeping him
You cannot trade 2023 first round pick, the NBA stepien rule prevents that consecutive or back to back years (2022 & 2023) can't be in any trade negotiations. The Raptors gave the Spurs 2022 first round to get rid of Goran Dragic for Thad and Drew Eubanks who was waived and a 2022 second round which basically became Koloko. Any trade will revolve around 2024 and 2026 skip 2025 for obvious reasons.
Honestly Siakam is an legit all star (not fridge all star) but he’s not a superstar that we can win it all. Trading first rounds for Turner or Poetl doesn’t move the needle IMO. We still be a Treadmill team exit 1st round or 2nd round depending on the match up. Rather build for the future with Scottie, OG, precious and Koloko. Trade FV, Gary and Siakam and build through the draft. Look at New Orleans, Memphis, We need a legit star from the draft.

The question is what position should they target when Trading FOR a 1st round pick. This season is done.
No don't trade our first round pick again please like damn we need new and young players
It's a starting center for me, bring back JP
They should focus on trading Fred as he's shooting bricks with an ugly 36% FG worst in entire nba among starters. 😂

PG and Center is what this team needs . Either move Barnes to PG or trade Fred for someone .

Why the hell would they trade their first round pick this team is mediocre asf and should be rebuilding
Thsi team is closer to a lottery team than a contender. Trading a pick is crazy

We should be sellers, not buyers.
Imagine trading away your first round pick and then win the lottery draft…
You don't target a position, you target value..aka talent/utility/durability/ ..then position
Nice try , keep selling that trading GTJ is better than trading FVV. GTJ is young and hasn't peaked yet. FVV is yhe first one to go
