If they wouldn't have turfed their connect to him in masai I could have seen it but not so much now ..however we do have the assets to make a deal like that happen and salary matching ...honestly I'd rather have sabonis because we wouldn't have to give up nearly as much and that man doesn't worry about scoring and his a rebounding machine that will get you 15 a night without running plays for him

Chris Paul?! :ROFLMAO: Surely this is not how he is going to get his first and only ring. The man is cursed.

He is not even being asked to report ,,,terrible salary dump of a solid young player to get under the tax followed by a nothing centre move with golden state .,hate both moves

Raptors fan here too 👋
This season feels like a mix of patience and growing pains. I like the direction with the younger core, but consistency is still the big issue. When they defend well and move the ball, they look competitive — when they don’t, it gets rough fast.

As for predictions, I’d say a tight game most nights, but wins really depend on energy and execution. If the effort is there, they can surprise people.

And yeah… Giannis is Giannis 😅 stopping him is always easier said than done. Let the banter begin.

Awesome take and I agree. However i wasn't a fan of the trade deadline moves ..giving away a good young player for a tax reason isn't a good look ..the davis kid at centre from the warriors might be a player but what a waste of time and money with Chris Paul ..unless he actually comes and does some coaching or something for the loss of asset it's a disturbing move

Every team rebuilds but you're taking it to far as if they don't have talent on the roster ..clearly they do

The Raptors have typically not done well trading for former superstars and former MVPs….Kawaii Leonard is the exception…we wasted money on Akim Olajuwon…he had been MVP twice, but too old and battered to be a front line player…Alonzo Mourning and Chris Paul chose to never even suit up for the team…I’m surprised we haven’t tried to sign Shaq and Magic.

Yeah we tend to go after past stars in their twilight of their careers ..I'd be a fan of getting Giannis but it's not happening ,the team is on the rise however
