The Lakers 2029 pick is certainly enticing. But to take on >$60 mill worth of basically dead money? Eh, I dunno. Vanderbilt was supposed to be pretty good at one time. Is his shooting form a lost cause? Raptors could use more size, but not at the expense of spacing. And I despise Gabe Vincent (professionally, not personally). I can't believe Spo gave him any minutes at all in the Heat's playoff run a few years back. 10% of the time, he did something worthwhile. 40% of the time, he was NPC. And 50% of the time, holy cow was he being paid by the other team!? I think I'd rather have Jordon Poole!
Is there anything else the Lakers can give us? Maybe throw in 2026 and 2028 swaps? We're giving them an actual asset, and they're giving us pure toxicity!
If there’s any team that counters the raptors really hard, it’s the grizzlies. Just outmatched on every position and cant really surprise them with different play styles. Wanna run? So can they. Wanna slow it down? They eat up all the rebounds plus they anchor a top 8-10 defense in the league. However this is a great game on what we need to cover this off season during the draft and free agency.
Keep up the great work RR! Hopefully, we can get some updates as well on some prospects that the raptors could target next season.
26:19 Trae is averaging the second lowest points per game of his career, the second highest turnovers per game and is shooting 39.8% from the field and 32.9% from 3. He is playing BAD.
both trades are good imo and taking on those dead salaries is fine. we are not competing until 2 years later. and everyone that matters (in my opinion) is still under contract till then in scottie, iq, rj, ochai, jakobe and gradey, maybe jakob if he doesn't get traded. that lakers 1st seems like a dream as i'm almost sure they will be in the lottery at that time. they will most likely think that's an overpay and will value it more than some bad salary shedding. that davion trade, is fine, but seems a bit more like a nostalgic move for me. i'm sure there is a trade out there somewhere that can be similar to ochai, where a team has given up on a young prospect, a salary filler and 1 2rp. but at this point, i will take any second round pick really, but would prefer a project player added to it. shead and davion seems redundant and i highly prefer shead. i'm really interested in his development
Raptors dont want to trade to receive trash, so no trade period 100 on Barrett, Scottie was stats padding, his points cane when they were down by over 20. Raptors need to get rid of who dont like 6' 8 Sf 6, 10 pf and 7 ft centers

Man this last game was bad… I'm starting to worry about our ability to turn the corner in the future.

I love the trade segment
Best raptors channel out there!
Lowry is not coming back. He is on a team that is play-in bound at least. In fact I wouldn't do that to him it would be mean.
Good video though.
We need Yak back. He’s just such a steadying influence; always there when needed and just a whiz at sending the ball to the right person.

Another banger
I don’t see the Lakers or 76ers doing either trade. Homer trade ideas.
