    Problem with Zach LaVine is that he's on a $215 million contract and is coming off an injury. However, if he can return to his 2019-20 and 2020-21 self, he, Siakam, OG, and Scottie, would be a great core. He's not a superstar, but he's the closest to one if Raptors don't want to trade OG and Scottie for any KD deal. A framework of VanVleet, Trent, one of Achiuwa or Flynn, and two first-rounders should be enough to get him, since his value is somewhat low, although LaVine can't be traded until January 15. Raptors should also ask for Coby White in the deal as well. As for Turner, Trent and a first-rounder might get the job done.

    trade og anunoby and scottie barnes and fred vanvleet and gary trent jr for demar derozan and zach lavine. and raptors can make play in and 1st round and get bounced and mlse makes profits. and in 2 years trade everyone for a full rebuilding from scratch by trading siakam , derozan and zach lavine for a fresh start with a new coach

    Bro do not trade OG maybe Fred because he is from Illinois and Lonzo Ball is done

    Zach strikes me as a guy that would hate playing in Canada. He just come’s off a player that want’s to be in a big US market which is why there’s rumors of him wanting to go to LA.

    Zach Lavine for Fred Vanvleet + Gary Trent Jr + 2024 1st round pick (chicago would have FVV and GTJs bird rights)

    I’d love to see Trent, Birch, Flynn and a first for Myles Turner and TJ McConnell. Toronto can run a lineup (assuming everyone’s healthy) of:
    VanVleet-Barnes-OG-Pascal-Turner with a bench of McConnell-Otto-Juancho/Thad-Boucher-Precious.

    I think Indy would do it because a future of Haliburton-Trent-Mathurin with Duarte off the bench could be terrifying for opposing guards to try and guard or to scheme for.

    Also, Happy Birthday!

    I find trade talks by fans to be funny.
    On one hand we don't wanna buy low.
    On another, we don't wanna sell high.

    im the one that gave you the myles turner idea in the first place and it would be great f they could trade trent jr and a first round pick for him and maybe khem birch as much as i like him there isnt room for him and i dont see zach lavine on the raptors espically if he is selfish the raptiors dont go for that but idk if either trade will happen they need to get some cap space they might trade trent jr for a cheaper player or a pick

    Myles Turner would be a great addition to the Raptors but if he is going to be an unrestricted free agent best summer then
    what is the purpose of sending a significant trade package
    for him?

    Would it be to try to win a championship this season?

    So far this year the Raptors have not looked like
    a championship contender.

    They have had huge injury problems and perhaps
    if they are healthy they will be contenders
    but that is not clear at all now.

    Would it be worth it to trade for Turner simply to
    win more games this season even if they
    are still not a championship contender?

    Could trading for Turner make them a contender?

    Is Turner more likely to sign with the Raptors next summer
    if he plays with them this season?

    Given that Trent may leave next summer anyway
    there is a reasonable chance that trading
    Trent for Turner would be worth it
    but would adding draft picks to that trade package
    be worth it?
    Probably not unless Turner can make the Raptors
    a championship contender.

    Siakim, Turner, Anunoby, Barnes, VanVleet as starters
    plus Achuiwa, Boucher, Porter, Young, etc as back up sounds good
    although I think the Raptors would still need to
    get a good rental back up guard around the trade deadline
    if they want to contend.

    What about Vucevic very good center with an inside game and good passer and rebounder FOR Trent and Boucher. Flynn's ready to take the jump, Center is what we need.

    20th @ 111.4 per game.
    Both rumors not happening. First one is an immediate fix or too expensive and too much trade to give up. The second looks better but players has longer term contract and a heavy final year.
