Is this also one of those, rival front office have said GTJ is on the market type source?

For some crazy reason I don’t think Gary will get traded. He’s still very young and has a lot of upside. I think the coaching staff actually like him but in the fans eyes we sometimes think he is unloved. In fact I think it’s the opposite. Nick and his team love to use the tough love method of motivation. Gary has been nothing but professional and said all the right things throughout his whole time at this club. I think his Dad has taught him well. Put your head down, believe in your coaches and stick to the assignments. Gary has that old school mentality and is first at the scene when there’s some sort of scuffle. Coaches eat that right up.
He’s actually averaging a career high in points and FG% despite playing 3 less mins than last season. He just needs to learn to pass lol.

I know there’s multiple reasons for this – namely contract situation – but given how awful our offence and shooting has been, GTJ being available doesn’t really indicate that the FO is trying to win.

I know he’s in a contract year. And I know we might boke at his price tag. But if the raptors were to buy at the deadline and trade for a player we would all want that player to be similar to Gary’s skillset (or a big). And at this Point in the off-season I’d rather pay Gary than Fred.

Why Gary? He’s a perfect 2 guard on any team and he’s really young with a good contract, makes no sense to be shopping him for me; hell who is even taking his place? He’s the only shooting guard on the roster?

Fred heard all that talking at the beginning of the year and decided he’d play his way out of being valuable so they’d have to trade gary instead.

Gary is still young and he brings the much needed guard play on this team. Yes he’s been inconsistent this season but I would rather see Fred go over Gary if I had to choose between the two.

WOOOOOO WE’RE GONNA MAKE 0 MOVES AGAIN I’ll take my downvotes now 💀

Yup. The mistake I expected our FO to make. We very well may end up keeping Fred and paying him a bag. I don’t get it.

This is a big loss imo.

Gary Trent Jr for Tim Hardaway Jr???

Here’s a question to you guys. Does he offer more to the table than Lonnie Walker/ Jordan Clarkson types of players. GTJ is only 23 but with how Masai and Bobby set up the contracts we are kind of screwed.
I mean are we much better if we bring this team back with our 1st pick ( Top 12) and 2nd round pick plus a few minor changes.
We need to retool and get a back up guard and starting Centre.

gonna be sad to see him go

Why would we sell this legend
jovijovi99
Selling Fred and Pascal should be a given if that’s the case

I don’t see the point of trading away young talent personally at this time
the_moog_hunter
We have one shooter, let’s trade him!
hypespud
I would rather pay a young gtj than keep older high paid players like fvv will demand
That said i do like tim hardaway jr also
ImmaFunGuy
Raptors never leak, which means GTJ is probably not getting traded
