Masai reminds me of Trudeau
Major risk will be letting all 3 of them go to free agency
Maybe we can move OG and Poetl to Detroit for Jayden Ivy, James Wiseman and Bogdanovic
Siakam and Scottie are the 2 biggest contributors on this team, keep them both and fix the rest of this garbage roster.
I love OG but a few things about him concern me. First of all, I"m tired of hearing about how he "wants a bigger role". That kind of thing needs to be earned. He's not a great dribbler, can't really create his own shot, doesn't have great footwork on the offensive end of the floor and hasn't really developed much of a mid-range game. "Bigger roles" have to be earned, OG just hasn't earned it because of those deficiencies. That is why he has remained a 3-and-D guy. An elite 3-and-D guy. But not more than that. Second of all, I do wonder if he wants to stay here, and whether the Raptors will be willing to outbid all others when he is a free agent.
Big risk indeed. Especially considering that OG sees the writing on the wall that this team will struggle big-time for the next 2-3 years. Does he really want to be a part of that?
Even though OG looks stoic most of the time you can tell hes not happy with the way things are in the Raptors organization. Bro doesn’t look motivated right now.
Another good take from you Ben. Agree with you 100% to keep Pascal and trade OG.
The Raptors win a championship and now too many of their fans think it is simple to win an NBA championship and demand that Masai be fired because the Raptors are not dominating.
I’ve disengaged from the team til we trade siakam
So…how many guys have u lost for nothing. Kawli, Ibaka, Gasol, Green, Fred, Lowry..yes u lost him nothing, bc Maxey was on the table and u decided u wanted more, guess what u got nothing. Let me ask u this Masai, ARE U AN IDIOT?
Seriously, I love OG, I want us 2 keep him, however I'm a realist and I'm telling u, he ain't coming back. Honestly..thos organization has become bunch of idiots, never thought it would happen with management.
Just tank and trade for picks…
Merry Christmas to y’all. Get rid of the coach! OG is Masai’s extended family, like Achuwa, so I’d be surprised if he gets rid of him. The coach, the coach, the coach, along with the Menace Dennis, Poeltl, Flynn and the Untouchables (OG, Achuwa). OG shaving points lol
Need to trade him. He isn’t worth it. He will top out 20 point per game. No way pay 40M.
Masai is crap. No good moves n draft or trade in 3 years. Made one good move in 5 years.
We all know front office ain’t doing ish… will keep “evaluating the roster” and then add a non factor end of the bench guy…. And lose og and gtj for nothing
Raptors will never make trades😂 they're so cheap I tell you!
Terrible mistake is brewing…
I’d rather keep current team until a Canadian Top 10 player becomes available who can work closer with Masai & everyone else willing to compromise / sacrifice to stay
Agreed. We’ll get better returns on an OG trade vs a Siakam trade, and there’s less risk for us in trading OG vs trying to keep him. Plus keeping him is feeling like an overpay at this point. Keeping him just doesn’t make sense anymore.
I think you problem is that you still believe that pascal will be that player going forward …. If we are not signing OG that’s fine … but the choice is not keep siakam
Watch our defense wash away as soon as we trade OG. 30th in the league in defence.
Good take. Pascal and Scottie should be kept and built around. Take advantage of OGs value now before everyone realizes he has been overvalued since day 1. He is the same player he was in his first year. Plays ok defence but other than that is a liability and not good enough to be a 3rd option on a championship team and is always injured. Defence also hasnt been great this year. I think the knee injury in college really impacted his balance and ability to move freely. Too bad, but at least the league still values him. Should have traded him last year when he still had a year on the contract.
This is so frustrating. OG is NOT worth the 40 mil. Plus he may walk. PLUS he’s got the most value on the trade market. PLUS PLUS PLSU!
Good take Ben
Am i crazy for thinking this, but can we keep both and just develop them so they are a good fit with scottie and each other?
It’s time to trade Siakim & OG. Keeping either just keeps the team at a 9-10 seed at best. Time to blow it up and rebuild around Scottie. I’m sure we can get Mathurin, Kuminga and picks to revamp quickly
Trade OG and Pascal, get a big haul that compliments Scottie and start from there. I want OG to stay, but he's not a 40m/year player.
The issue is keeping players who want to be here. OG and Pascal want to play here, I wish we kept Norm.
Fred's better 100 percent . He can take Houston to a W . OG I would never look at to get us a W.
We need a rebuild
I don't care about wins and losses..They just can't shoot period..the roster is off
Why would you trade a defense wing who can score.. Pascal will be better off with a new home..The Raptors owners are playing with a sold out arena why should they do anything.. haha
