Naz is a shoe-in for the NBA All-Ugly team, no doubt.
Raps have never done well in free agency. So this is a believe it when I see it subject.
Do it. Then grab Giannis. Hopefully IQ is included in any trade.
K-low get back on my team
I fear that as in the past we will let our better players walk with nothing in return and we will continue to try and develop the G leaguers until they are good enough for other teams to take notice. With the unlimited cash flow in the MLSE corporation they act like a small town owner with no pockets. Should never have allowed a company to own the Leafs and the Raps.
Reid wants to start. Unfortunately, he won't get to start here unless one of the players get moved (perhaps RJ). He isn't a terrible defender, but he also doesn't really solve the team's backup C weakness. They need to have a backup C that can protect the rim when Poeltl is out. Also NAW is kind of redundant with Ochai unless Ochai is moved. Both are 6'5 3-and-D SGs that are better at guarding PGs and SGs, rather than guarding SFs.
Do you know who Knox is?
Naz Reid would be wild. Trust me he’s a dawg.
Masai might really be going after Giannis if he’s eyeing Reid because the fit makes sense. The angle you’re not looking at is Jakob might possibly be a part of a Giannis package and Masai might be looking at Reid as a replacement to provide what Lopez provided for Giannis which is floor spacing with his ability to knock down 3’s like Lopez did 🤔 you need floor spacing around Giannis and Jakob provides zero spacing at the 5 which might not be a good fit next to Giannis. Remember we traded JV for Gasol because Gasol was a better fit for a roster around Kawhi We know how essential Lopez’s ability to knock down 3’s were to the Bucks winning a championship. It was a big part to Giannis’s success on that championship run.
Ben, thank u
Reid and NAW will go to the highest bidders. NAW in particular will need to cash out as he's been on a Dollarama contract for years now. Raps are out due to cap space.
Under 30 min gang
Remember.. superstars attract other players just by their presence.
I'm not getting my hopes up on Naz Reid again, he's literally the honorary second mayor there lmao
If the Toronto Raptors can grab Giannis Antetokounmpo do it. But we’ll see.
Every year I realized how rare of a center Ibaka was in his prime.
Remember Reid plays PF. Having both Jakob and Naz as a 1A/1B situation at center would be ideal and it would still fulfill Reids starting aspirations.
This is not even mentioning Jakob is definitely going to get injured, he goes down every year I swear😂.
the big fish was ingram . look at the 2019 team and you can tell what masai is looking for its a pg , back up center and 1 more reliable bench scorer who can do it all
Naz Reid would be perfect if we get Giannis. Otherwise not rlly interested tbh
Brother please turn your mic down a touch. We can all turn you up if we need.
Naz reed was tripping over his own feet in the conference finals he ain't Mobil we don't want him we want Raynaud he is mobil.
Raptors have no cap space, is in the tax. They are not a free agent player this summer. They have not been since ??? 10 years ago. Sign and trade does not make sense ,
Naz R great but we can’t afford him and I don’t want to sign and trade. Bobby Portis about the same but older 30 vs 25. BP not as good at 3s but still stretch but better for guarding Cs vs Naz better at SGs. BP better rebounder.
Bigger move: Giannis + Bobby P = SB + RJB + Jonathan M + 25 39th pick + 2026 first + 2026 LAL 2nd + 2028 first + 2030 second
If Bucks demand 2025 # 9 we take #39 and 2026 first off table as we will want to keep Chip window open.
If Bucks honor GA ideas of stay in East this is a very good bid and unless they want 6-7 first and crap players from Nets we should be good. NYK could gut their team more than I would because they don’t have picks.
All this said Bucks did not really care about KM or JH during their trade process so if they send GA wherever some West teams are better offers.
Naz at 6’9 is too small to be our starting C
