So we're going to get upset every time we lose a back to back?
I can’t watch games when Boucher and Flynn checks in. Too much dumbness on the court. Boucher has the worst feel for the game I’ve ever seen.
trade pascal for picks
If pascals gone Scottie b is next big thing
Be smart trade barns .trading siakim means by to credibility
Siakim, Flynn, Trent for PJ Washington, Haywood and 1st round pick. Thoughts?
Let Pascal go to a good team where he'll be able to compete again, he's being actively excluded from the offense and looks totally listless out there. Give the team fully to Scottie, let OG try to be the second option and let's see what we've got. Similar ish to when we traded away Rudy Gay and brought back some legit bench talent and let kyle and demar go off. Let em' cook for a bit and see how they do. If we don't get our draft pick this year then great, at least it conveys now and not the following season when Cooper Flagg is in the draft mix.
Raptors have the worst fan base in the league. Everytime they lose fan want stars traded. No superstar wants to live and work in that environment. Get use to the unwanted stepchild treatment when our champs are gone like how you want it
Pascal will be fine – It was always going to be a challenge for him going against the Sixers; Nurse always has a plan for the other team’s star (and knows Pascal especially well).
Forget about Pascal – what the heck is going on with Trent Jr? I hope he is traded at the deadline – he’s made no improvements in his game.
Pascal you can do this
If the Raptors trade Pascal there is no chance this team makes the playoffs. Sign him then trade him next year if they want to.
I can’t believe the hate Pascal is getting, what an ungrateful fan base we have.
I'll call it out first here this is what's going to happen:
– During the trade season there's going to be rumors of Raptors trades
– Raptors are not gonna do anything at all because they want the equivalent of if OG and Pascal had 3+ yrs left on contract
– They'll try and retain both of them on mediocre contracts and will either lose both of them or once one leaves, they'll overpay for the other.
– place a filler for whoever leaves with someone not as good
Masai has to understand he wont get an entire bag for Siakiam on the trade market like how Utah got for Gobert. Honestly id be happy with a package from the hawks like Griffin, Bogan, Patty Mills and extra salary filler. Three of those guys immediately fix our three point shooting troubles.
Ps always needs time to build but, everyone else in the league generally starts off good ps always builds his game throughout the year
Trade Siakam and Flynn and boucher
No they won't ..they will trade one of them before we lose one of them
Grange appears to be seeking attention and asserting his certainty about Pascal's departure this past summer, which turned out to be incorrect. He seems to be amplifying what we all know as well-established rumors. It is a common understanding that either Pascal or OG might depart in the upcoming offseason, and if that occurs, Grange will likely assert his prescience. Clout chaser. I don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
More like 2 top stars leaving
I'm sorry but OG is not worth a $40M+ per year max contract. Neither is Siakam. Both should be traded at the deadline. Handing out max contracts to roll players like OG is how you stay mid forever.
