WTF…

WTF…

in this war we stand digestion ignites from the north we bring the might calling red now join the [Music] Hello everybody Ben Rogers here of the Raptors Digest reacting to some absolute madness that’s been going on regarding this Toronto Raptors team specifically in regards to Kevin Durant and all the reports that have been circling over the past couple of days and recently I just dropped from a Suns insider that revealed just the package that apparently the Raptors are going to be putting together to make a deal go down for KD because frankly this is uh this is uh absolutely absurd so we have a lot of stuff to break down people are in the chat already saying what’s going on what’s happening what’s happening with the squad essentially Kevin Durant as we know we’ve been talking about it to death here on the channel it’s the wrong wrong button we’re pressing but basically Kevin Durant has been on the market by the Phoenix Suns he’s been put out there in trade discussions and all these different talks and all these different reports and everything that’s coming out and frankly the Toronto Raptors Messiah Jerry he’s been hustling he’s been after a big fish and he’s willing to go all out in terms of making these deals go down and I’m looking at the chat people are saying overreacted all this stuff fellas I know all these people out here are like “Ben you’re making stuff up.” I literally report what’s coming out what comes out by the insiders by the reporters I aggregate I put together I react give you guys context and break it all down that’s what I’m doing that’s what uh my job is here out on YouTube and frankly the updates we got over the past hour force me to go live and I want to go back and forth i want to hear what people have to say about everything that’s going on this changes everything as DB is saying it’s the motto out here on the channel so uh let’s take a look at what is going on everything that is happening with Kevin Durant and the quest for KD and everything that’s going on here now at this point also the little subscriber go let’s even get to 37,900 out here today as uh we get going because frankly uh you know we’ve been stuck in the mud a little bit the Raptors not making some moves not making some stuff so make sure you guys hit that subscribe button appreciate everyone you know coming out here so let’s let’s dive in let’s cook up let’s see what is happening in regards to this KD situation so let’s uh let’s start from the jump so basically this is the big reports that came from John Gabino and essentially he came out and went on a tirade about how he hates the So John Gabadoro i’ve uh done some coverage out there on the Suns we have a Sunsist channel out here on the network this guy has been pretty tuned in with everything regarding the KD situation over the past couple months and he came out and essentially did a little tirade i summarized the report a little bit out here on the channel saying that I hate the Toronto deal of RJ Barrett Emanuel Quickley with Yakapurle and that ninth pick that’s what I do like you know he talked about just roasting Emanuel Quickley RJ Barrett which I’ll get to because I’m trying to start a movement out here on the channel i really want to come out and make it known to keep RJ Barrett to keep RJ Barrett out here on this team going forward in the future again for a superstar it is what it is but we’ll talk about different scenarios as this stream ends up going along but basically this is the the summary in terms of this big 10-minute spiel that uh that has come out here and Evan Sederity gave a big sort of breakdown of this report a big breakdown in terms of everything that’s going on and uh let me get these scenes back together and that’s why I was a little bit late coming out here because frankly uh I’m not great at tech anymore i’m washed on these streams there we go we got the chat back rolling but basically the Toronto Raptors are indeed offering the number nine overall pick for Kevin Durant uh the Toronto Raptors are willing to move on from Jakob Purle and RJ Barrett or Emanuel Quickley alongside the top 10 selection to secure Kevin Durant so that is the the new buzz that is the new discussion that is the new discourse that has popped out and frankly has me fired up out here on the channel this is the big sort of update that we have beyond some of these other ones that have come out in terms of backup plants which we’ll talk about on stream i want to go back and forth and discuss but basically the Toronto Raptors are coming out apparently willing to offer the number nine overall selection manuel Click and RJ Barrett and a top and Yaka Purle out there in the mix and this makes sense in terms of what the Suns have been asking for a Kevin Durant trade they want if KD is going out they want a center they want a guard and they want some draft capital that’s what is happening people are saying it’s fake people are saying this and we’ll talk about some of the discourse because there has been a lot of buzz a lot of chatter about the Toronto Raptors being played being used as essentially you know a means for other teams to leverage themselves out there in these trade negotiations josh Loomberg gave a bit of context to this we know Messiah Jur’s been very good at making trades making this making that but there are two sides to this coin which we will discuss but the Suns aren’t getting the packages that they want from the three teams that Kevin Durant has made it known he wants to go to the San Antonio Spurs the Miami Heat as well as the Houston Rockets so what’s going on here well these bidding pros these asking prices that are coming out the Suns want serious deals back and essentially the Rockets are off in a pretty good one with Jayen Green and these different types of packages these different types of pieces but the Suns want Matt Ishbia has said this entire past couple months he wants equal value to what he gave out for Kevin Durant if they’re going to trade him again so that is what Matt Ishbia is saying there’s no world that that’s going to be the case with uh Kevin Durant being a guy that is now 30 going to be 37 years old next season averaging 27 points per game six rebounds four assists yes he’s putting up phenomenal stats but he’s you know a few years older now at this point he’s still extremely efficient and in the short term will immediately help a team but doesn’t have the same value he should have two years ago where the Suns gave up Mikuel Bridges they gave up Cam Johnson and they gave up a plethora i think like five first round picks a swap out there it was a serious hall that they gave away for Kevin Durant matt wants the owner of the Phoenix Suns wants that type of haul in return they aren’t going to get it that’s why we heard trade talks trade percolations happening two months ago no one was interested no one wanted to make that deal happen there at that point and then now basically uh you know we heard a week and a half ago once all these rumors started to circulate again that the Suns had lowered their asking price they didn’t take it down completely from where we were at the beginning but they lowered their asking price a little bit they aren’t happy with the deals that are coming from the Heat Spurs as well as the Houston Rockets and the Raptors and the Minnesota Timberwolves are now the team that KD does not want to go to but are being used for essentially leverage here now at this point and this is where things start to get very very interesting in terms of everything that is on the go for this team so basically you know in terms of uh these packages in terms of these deals that are going on here now at this point we have these on the table so first things first and this is the first thing I want to talk about with you guys the chat interact see what people are saying out here at this point and uh I said I’m reading the chat what’s up Vintage Pimpage we I don’t want to trade Scotty Barnes for KD i know you want to trade Scotty Barnes for nothing but we can’t trade him for KD but in your opinion down below let me know in the comment section let me know in the chat here right now okay let me know in the chat here right now would you rather if it’s going to be a Yaka Purle ninth pick and Emanuel Quickley RJ Barrett deal would you rather Emanuel Quickley or RJ Barrett in that trade package would you ra put in who you’d rather trade out emanuel Quickley or RJ Barrett out there in the mix i want to see what people are saying i’ll throw it out there on Twitter too i’m throwing a poll up on Twitter we’ll get the results from the poll on Twitter follow Raptors Digest on Twitter right now if you haven’t folks I used to be a very This whole company started with uh me being a little Twitter degenerate at 14 yapping out there before sports Twitter was a thing got off it for a few years because frankly I got sick of it but now I’m back in the mix i’m back in the weeds i We got a couple interns helping out with it so who do you guys would who would you rather see in a KD deal who would you rather see out there in a KD or X.com whatever people use whatever people name is who would you rather be in a K C in uh trade in a K D package follow us on Twitter we need to we need to get this this stuff back and rolling okay we got to get this this back and rolling iq I’m spelling stuff wrong i’m spelling stuff wrong we got this stuff going i’ll have a look at the chat here now at this point that poll’s up there on Twitter we’ll see what’s happening a lot of people are saying IQ a lot of people are saying IQ verma is saying neither some people are saying neither definitely this this trade package here we’ll talk about how we’re feeling about this how people are feeling at this point but some people are saying R.J some people are saying uh IQ cuz basically Emanuel Quickley’s on a longerterm deal is more expensive but was the the centerpiece of the OG Anobi trade he was the guy that people got most excited about when that trade ended up happening he was the guy people were most amped up about in terms of deals that were actually going to you know excite a lot of Toronto Raptors fans and it feels very split it feels very down the middle from what we are seeing out here we need our point guard and stuff one thing I do want to say you know we do trade Emanuel quickly i have full faith i have full faith in this man Jamal shed the shed heads will unite put in the chat put in the chat right now if you are a shed head pull it in chat and uh and call put if you are a shed head but it would be very very difficult i think in a Kevin Durant situation you’d have to deal away RJ just because you wouldn’t have that PG spot emanuel Quickley is a better shooter so that is one thing to factor in in all these discussions and all these trade scenarios and everything that’s going on here now at this point but basically there is uh you know we can take a look at the stats we take a look at the stats here too because there’s a lot of stuff that’s going on here emanuel Quickley this season averaged 17.1 points per game 3.5 rebounds 5.8 eight assists uh shot 38% from the three-point line 37% on corner threes a bit better of a movement shooter than certainly uh than certainly RJ Barrett is but a guy that it would be you know dealt with a lot of injuries last year and RJ Barrett was our guy last season that’s uh that’s the thing about it right he was our most consistent score he’s our biggest impact player and I know Vintage Pimpage will like this take rj Barrett was our best player last year not Scotty Barnes scotty Barnes our most talented highest upside stuff but with injuries with consistency with Scotty Barnes playing the back half the season with his busted up wrist rj Barrett was our most consistent scorer and guy out there on the basketball court so it’s a really really tough decision in any of these trade packages but realistically logistically if we are going to really be diving into all this stuff that’s you know coming out there in the mix coming out in uh you know everything that’s going on I don’t want this deal to happen like I get it i know how exciting it would be i know how pump humped everyone would be to have Kevin Durant out there in the mix out there on this team you know it’s exciting to have you know the jersey sales exciting to have KD you know be our scorer be our guy out there on this squad but the big butt with this he is 37 years old he doesn’t want to be here and we are giving up two of the guys we got in the OG and trade package that have been frankly I don’t get why RJ Barrett’s trade value is where it’s at in terms of all the discourse in terms of all the discussions desmond Bane just netted the Memphis Grizzlies four first round picks a first round pick swap and two rotation players yes KCP’s contract was bad so that’s a negative you know that’s a liability out there on your books but Cole Anthony is a good basketball player that is a hull for a guy that put up worse statistics than RJ Barrett last season yes I would agree he’s a better player he’s a better defender better movement shooter but RJ Barrett is not that far off he is not that far off as a basketball player and frankly it is sickening to see the disrespect that’s getting thrown the way of RJ Barrett it’s why I’m starting this movement folks join this movement do not trade RJ Barrett he’s getting tossed around like chop liver out here at all these trade discussions i do not want to see RJ Barrett moved on right orlando Mendoza is coming in saying the shed head stand up we’re getting all the graphics out here at this point but it’s uh it’s I I’m sick i’m sickening by all the discourse that R.J barrett is the guy that should be moved on from like it’s you know it you know straight up for KD straight up in these packages that’s uh that’s the big thing but I don’t know that I don’t want RJ Barrett dealt in these deals but let’s talk about this trade package because I’ve talked a lot about this whole KD trade scenario everything that’s going on here at this point I’ve brought this up a lot now I’ve been pretty neutral in terms of how I’m feeling about this trade assuming that you know in terms of this trade package in terms of this trade hall it’s one of IQ or RJ and then one of the ninth pick and Purle you have to give up some value to get some value kd’s averaging 27 points per game last season you You have to understand you have to make that stuff okay you have to you have to give out some assets you have to get your heart broken a little bit my RJ Barrett jersey I’m I’m cool with that but the thing about it is if you deal away both and we’ll keep it on this side because apparently this is what Gambo is saying if you deal away both Yaka Purle and the number nine pick you have no options there at the center position right now we be left because Chris Bush is a free agent as well i know he’s more of a four but he’s a guy that could slide in the five position we’ve seen him play the five messiah Jury loves that you know 69 vision that should be a graphic you know that 6ix9ine core group that we had for a long time okay yaka Purle’s gone the thought of K Malawatch is gone you don’t have Chris Bush you’d be running Jonathan Mo Scotty Bards or Brandon Ingram out there at center position or an older Shamsh again Messiah has the opportunity he has the possibility of making more moves it’s not that uh it’s not that’s that’s happening you know what I mean but we’d be in the same position we were in 2022 2023 before we got Yaka Pearl we had an extremely talented group i think a very underrated team but Messiah Jerry and a lot of people forget about this cuz they were roasting the 69 vision they were roasting all this stuff that was going on basically what happened was the Toronto Raptors in the playoffs against the Boston Celtics the year Pascal Seakum didn’t touch a ball for three months that was really bad in the bubble okay that team came out there in the postseason it was a weird season it was a lot of weird stuff and they come in the next year they’re actually really you know they have the Tampa season then the season after 2022 they come out and face the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the playoffs this young team shocks everybody the lineup of Fred Van Vleet Gary Trent Jr Scotty Barnes a rookie Scotty Barnes Pascal Seakum and you know Precious Acha running our five right we didn’t have a lot of options out there at that center position we decided and OG Anobi like OG Anobi was the deacto center how that came to be was in the bubble when Pascal Seakum was struggling he wasn’t playing that well he wasn’t you know up to his usual standards there’s a lot of offense we needed to generate in that series so what happened is Nick Nurse who I think gets disrespected a lot now at this point he was a phenomenal coach for us he was a phenomenal coach for us to as a tactician phenomenal as a people manager less so nick Nurse against the Boston Celtics going down 02 decided to switch to the lineup of playing OG Anobi at center during crunchtime and we had two centers on that roster we had Marcus Saul and we had Sergy Baka that’s what we had that’s what we ran with that’s what we rocked with and frankly that lineup completely changed the series it flipped it all on its head okay the Raptors came back and went to game seven didn’t it and uh you know Norman Pal some clutch buckets gave six Fred Vanley takes a step back three out there gates like it was you know OG Adobe’s historic shot all that stuff but that came from the adjustment of playing OG Anobi at center and running a small ball lineup to make up for Pascal Saka really struggling out there on the offensive end out there in the bubble so that off season a weird offseason because it was co it was like what are we doing started December and stuff you know the bubble was there at the end of the summer the regular season started back up in December so what ended ended up happening is the Raptors went next season like “Hey Marcus Saul’s really old should we pay him?” Probably not and he went to the Lakers he was washed anyways messiah Jerry knew that these guys weren’t able to run a full season that next year then Sergi Baka on the team now he was less washed but a year later was pretty well washed and essentially let him walk as well for $9 million to the LA Clippers so we had no roster we had Aaron Baines running the center position for this team next season and we were just the fourth seed the fifth the fifth seat out there in the the Eastern Conference so then we went down to Tampa we’re playing out of our home court things weren’t right we didn’t have a center and we tried to run this small ball unit and essentially what happened is this Raptors team had this vision for two a year and a half where there was some talent on the team we see the talent out there right now bag them all you want i know you guys are out here in the chats like no yeah like Fred Van Vleet like the amount of times what during that 2023 season cuz I didn’t I’m a Kyle Lowry guy whenever all the hype was on Fred Van Vleet for years I didn’t buy it everyone’s like he’s the next Lowry i was like okay Fred’s good but he’s not the next Lowry but when everyone hated on Fred I was like Fred’s good he’s not the worst player in the league and because I had that take the amount of folks out here in the comment section I’m calling us out i’m calling y’all out the amount of people that are coming out be like “Ben your boyfriend went two of 12 from the field today ben your guy like like I was getting grilled.” Is the only guy in Raptors me that didn’t just absolutely trash on Fred Vanble but I digress he’s really good in the playoffs this year really really good for the Houston Rockets in the playoffs this year what’s happening to Will what’s happening Will you the goat sir will Wahurn cooked me in in a Mensley basketball game here so I’m giving him a shout out out here on the stream i got absolutely cooked but I digress bivy is playing really good pascal Seakum is in the NBA finals right now and I want to talk about this a little bit as well the fact that Pascal Seakum was single-handedly maybe TJ McConnell tj McConnell went on a nice run but in that fourth quarter Pascal Seakum was absolutely dominant he was absolutely cooking he was absolutely unstoppable for the Indiana Pacers he got subbed out by Rick Carl which I get it rest they had these weird but you’re you got to keep him in and he came back in and didn’t The ball wasn’t passed to him he got iced out he got iced out despite being the best player on the court for the Pacers but I’m moving away from my points i’m moving in a lot of different directions here pascal Seakum OG Anobi Fred Van Vleet heck even Gary Trent Jr was good at the playoffs for the Milwaukee Bucks okay even Gary Tread Jeter’s been good to the playoffs for Milwaukee Bucks scotty BS is on that team scotty Birds is phenomenal right that season that and that’s not even the right animation what are we doing here that’s the OG animations out here the the Ben Simmons reports but the amount of Scotty Barnes awards we gave to Scotty Barnes back then you know he’s on another level this team was talented this team was talented but we didn’t have a center we got cooked we got cooked out there in the front line the team is bad that’s just the reality of it okay we got cooked out there in the front line it couldn’t sustain out there for a full season that’s what this team would be if we made a 10minute cycle a 10-minute rant that’s what this team would be if we deal away Yaka Purle and cannot acquire common Malawatch or another elite center out there in this team in this league that’s just the reality of it we would be that small ball see like it’s cool to run small ball lineups in spurts but when it’s all you got when it’s all you have it we’ve seen it it doesn’t work you can have talent it doesn’t work we don’t even have an OG and an Obi that can properly play the center position for a wing guy right we can’t even do that so I’m writing this off here this is too absurd this is too messed up this is too crazy this has to be a ploy for leverage this cannot be Messiah Jerry’s actual offer this cannot be Messiah coming out here and try like I know he’s into it i know he’s out there for you know hustling for a big fish he’s out there desperately trying to land a big fish this can’t be the offer this can’t be the offer that we end up making for Kevin Durant it has to be a ploy it has to oh yeah use this all stuff to get some assets back to get the most out of these teams it has to be something like that because if it is not and we go into next season scraping for an Aaron Baines to run the center spot for 82 games for this team no it’s not going to work it’s not going to work it’s not going to work let me know if you agree let me know if you agree chat let me know if you agree yes no do you want to see this chat this move happen do you want to see this move happen here right now one of Well we we’ll call it RJ Barrett just it doesn’t matter if you want to see Yaka Pearl and or Emanuel Quickley or RJ Barrett and a top 10 pick let me know in the chat let me know in the chat here right now yes sir we are live ruels’s love the content you’re going to lose followers the captions this is one thing I’ll say too while people are ranting the titles are the titles man they they fit they match they uh I have 55 YouTube channels i’ve tested all different titles i’ve been on YouTube for eight years this is the only way to give viewership so that’s that’s that’s what’s happen we always deliver we always deliver what’s on them no thanks button what’s happening no thanks button it’s a no chance no chance yes make it happen summer low saying let’s make it happen vintage Pippage just say Demarcus Cousins the Suns pass on that offer no way the Suns pass that’s a phenomenal offer for the Phoenix Suns that is a phenomenal offer for the Phoenix Suns that’s a reality of it that’s the That is the reality of what’s going on it gives you flexibility after next season that is one thing to bring up so S I want to get your name right the chat’s moving too fast santo 10 brings up a very good point he brings up as a very good point gives you flexibility so this is one of the arguments I’ve seen on the quest for Kevin Grant i’m going to keep playing this animation while we can essentially the reason where this makes sense if the Raptors are not interested in saving in acquiring keeping RJ Barrett and Yaka Purtole long-term they understand the money situation and they come into it and say hey the Toronto Raptors we cannot move forward we cannot move forward with uh you know this type of money on our books especially with Scotty Barnes contract coming into place thinking in the future about a Grady Dick contract extension stuff you go all in on one year you go all in on one year if things go great you resign Kevin Durant we have a championship team let’s go if they don’t you get off of money it’s like a very exciting single year of Kevin Durant where maybe this team comes out to the mix and if you know it doesn’t then you just get off of your buddy problems that the Raptors kind of have jumped into that that is the argument for this but there’s no argument for putting the number nine pick in this deal that’s where that’s where things get messy and Jay Samuels the same play bush Jay I I hate to say it but Bush Bush is out on out right now he’s out right now man he’s out right now i He’s a free agent he might be back but we’ll we’ll see we’ll see how uh how things shake out here now at this point we’ll see how things shake out at this point but I had a poll on Twitter i had a poll on Twitter i had a poll on Twitter follow Raptors Digest on Twitter if you haven’t already let’s see at me at me if you go out here on Twitter all right let’s see let’s see what we got we got going so who would you rather trade in an RJ package kind of fit what we had in the chat kind of fit what we had in the chat 65% have said RJ Bear let’s let’s get a screenshot of this so people can see it let’s get a screenshot of this so folks can see what’s going on here now at this point all right let’s let’s let’s see what uh I’m a wash streamer so bear with me for my poor technical skills okay so we have this we have this rocking this is the poll this is the Raptors Digest poll that we have here right now all right can you see that can you see the numbers can we see the numbers we can’t see the percentages there we go 65% said that they would rather see RJ Barrett dealt away than Emanuel Quickley in a Kevin Durant package do you guys agree with that sentiment yes no also shout out to Jack shout out to Jack a goat out there in the community here right jack you’re my guy appreciate you on all the videos appreciate you on all the videos commenting you’re the man Jack throw a W in the chat for Jack appreciate the super chat you’re the man but are we in agreement are we in agreement always a pleasure to have you in the chat i just saw the super chat i’m a bit disoriented trying to go through Twitter i’m back on Twitter trying to get this stuff going so I’m seeing some nos i’m seeing some nos in terms of if we are agreeing with this poll because people are saying “Who would you rather trade in a KD package?” R.J is the guy that’s getting brought out new Evans Cedary tweet let’s see we’ll break some news we’ll break some news out here on the on the channel and follow us on Twitter follow us on Twitter if you’re out here and uh yeah we got some new followers let’s go i’ll give shoutouts orlando Mendoza appreciate you number one sports fanatic appreciate you harsh Deep Aurora Aurora appreciate you malcolm Malcolm Musa appreciate you keon appreciate you appreciate everyone not getting back on the Twitter grind get back on the Twitter grind but uh what are we looking at here so the sun okay okay interesting interesting development here this is from Gambo as well this is from Gambo as well and okay okay a couple of tweets we have some live breaking news live news coming in live news coming in folks live news coming in okay a couple of reports a couple of things happening here couple of things happening here i’m I’m stalling to make sure my tech is good i’m stalling to make sure things are are rocking and rolling here now at this point I think we’re we got this okay first bit of news this is the less exciting This is the less exciting uh of the reports this might be the more or maybe more exciting if you’re you don’t want Katie i’m dragging into here okay let’s uh let’s get a different image up here so you guys can see we’ll get we’ll get a weird picture of uh Oh can I just hide this yeah let’s let’s go i don’t even know if that looks better okay so we have this report being brought up here so you guys can read it the Suns View the Timberwolves as their best offer on the table right now for Kevin Durant minnesota’s package would feature Rudy Gobear Dante Danchenzo as well as potentially Ron Rob Dillingham rob Dillingham here let me know in the chat here right now because frankly if the Toronto Raptors are offering Yaka Purle RJ Barrett and the number nine overall selection that absolutely smokes that deal out of the water in my opinion but I might be crazy let me know if you agree in the chat i want to hear I want to hear what you guys have to say right now and again I don’t want this to be the offer and this could be like the contradicting reports because we know that the front office in the NBA Brian Gregory the new GM of the Phoenix Suns is not stupid he is a bit of a Nepo hire he’s friends with the owner but he’s not stupid the Raptors package is much better yes or no yes or no rob Dillingham is cool he barely played last season denchenzo’s cool but like he hadn’t up and been down here he’s coming off the bench of the T- Wolves last season and Rudy Gobear’s Rudy Gobear like he’s a good defender but it’s it’s whatever anthony Savia is saying Evans doesn’t know anything no but he’s an aggregator jonath Jonathan Gamro wherever know stuff like this guy so this is the reporter that trash on this deal john Gamidoro john Gabidoro is one of the main insiders out there for the Phoenix Suns he’s like a he’s like a a Josh Luenberg for the Phoenix Suns that’s who he is like Purle over Gobar RJ over Rob and Dante agreed and the number nine overall selection in a loaded NBA draft so we all agree we’re all We’re all in agreement here that the Toronto Raptors offer is better than this offer and this is what they’re saying it’s the best deal it’s the best deal so this is why this is why the Toronto Raptors I I just can’t believe that this is the actual offer i can’t believe that this is the actual offer and it’s not Evan Sedary is only talking out of his ass when it’s like there’s not sources this John Gamidoro guy is the actual insider for the Phoenix Suns because check out Suns Digest you want the all the old details and all the KD situations and stuff he that’s that’s what’s happening yeah is our radio host that’s on our cars every day to work he’s he’s a guy that knows what’s what’s going in andy Cruz out there in the chat okay i’d like to hear Andy’s thoughts as well i’d like to hear Andy’s thoughts as well and Anthony you are correct he does talk a lot of BS sometimes but you got to know when it’s like BS and when he’s sourcing someone and clicking the source and getting that stuff going but I digress i think we’re all in agreement the Raptors if they want have a better offer if Messiah Jerry’s crazy enough to make one of these trades go down we have that offer we have that offer so that’s that but the more juicy the sidary tweet it’s not even a sidenary tweet but he summarizes things well he’s like the MI of Twitter i don’t actually I don’t I hear some stuff i I don’t hear enough stuff to like have credible insider reports maybe one day i don’t really care for that stuff though but he’s like the Sadarius the MI of Twitter okay the Toronto Raptors odds to land Kevin Durant continue to rise and again I’ve been outspoken i don’t do a lick of gambling i don’t do any of that stuff but these things are very important let me say this before we talk about the odd stuff because some people are like “Ben favorites.” Like well you’re making stuff up with favorite stuff it doesn’t matter okay the thing about the the like odds the DraftKings odds and all these things is you’re going to get smoke like I think genuinely if I had to bet my life on whatever’s going on here or whatever I don’t think the Toronto Raptors actual like I I would be shocked if Messiah Jerry’s legitimately willing to part ways with Yaka Purle and RJ Barrett Emanuel Quickley and a top nine 10 selection like I if that’s the actual offer that’s crazy but these things can be interpreted they can be skewed they can be talked about for leverage they can be brought up in all of these circumstances they can be brought up in all these different scenarios and there’s always some seed of truth into it that’s why we always cover all the rumors all the reports all that stuff but these types of reports are like jockeying for leverage out there in the media to change the narrative to make teams bid higher to do all these types of things that’s what can be done by all these reports like this one that just came from John Gabadro but these these odds you know these things here that people are putting money on right you’re investing money and like the lines have to adjust based off things there there’s insiders across like that have info that bet big dollars on this type of stuff and there’s no incentive to lie about it there’s no like hey this is uh you know I’m putting all my money on this side so it’ll just like the reports yes you’re going to get some smoke and the Raptors are known for putting out smoke and stuff the betting odds is where you know this gets into a situation of hey there’s no incentive to lie on it’s how people are expecting these things to actually play out and the Toronto Raptors the past few days have moved from plus 2,000 odds so like a 2% chance if that to near favorites while every other team is receiving uh keeps receiving higher odds that’s that’s kind of what that’s that’s the scenario that’s the update that’s what we’re seeing in this entire situation that’s what’s going on in regards to what is happening with this Kevin Durant stuff now again it could be the smoke getting to people’s biases so people are putting a bunch of money on the Raptors and DraftKings so it’s not a surefire thing but there’s less likely to be eye uh like lies when there’s money involved and it’s not one of these different things so right now again this just broke live this is something that was tweeted out seconds ago the Toronto Raptors 55 minutes ago so how long have I stream right before I started streaming so that’s that’s what it is missed that as we started streaming but the Raptors odds have continuously started to increase it’s a crazy stuff it’s a crazy situation yeah the webcam’s out i tried I tried yapping yapping to get that stuff going steve Steve Steve the Ultimate Collector saying give the man some likes appreciate you Steve doing my job better than I am plugging different stuff this stream I’ve mostly been plugging the Twitter i’m back on Twitter the OG’s know I’m 25 years old here now at this point i’m an old man i’m People are calling me on my basketball team what What the What the heck has happened to me bro but I was 14 years old yapping on Twitter that’s what Raptors Die just was over a decade ago i was the Brooklyn Nets fans and uh I was pretty big on Twitter like back before sports Twitter was big and all that stuff and uh and uh I I retired I retired from Twitter youtube is my love it still is but we got some interns now i got the bug again i got the bug again i’m making tweets so follow follow us on Twitter because my ego is down because I’m not getting any likes not getting any likes so follow follow me on Twitter and I’ll give you a shout out i will give you a big big shout out every single one of you you don’t have to but I I appreciate every single one of you but the KD stuff because there’s more topics we’re going to be discussing in the stream but of course the KD situation the KD stuff is what we’re bringing up it’s what we’re really yapping about if this deal goes down if this deal ends up happening if this ends up being the package that is the one for Kevin Durant I just want to see it in the chat first w or L if it is Yaka Purle Emanuel Quickley and a top 10 selection in this so the number nine overall pick is that a W or an L for the Toronto Raptors let me know let me know out here in the chat i want to know if this is a W or an L for the Toronto Raptors as we’re going as as I see the the the W’s or the L’s rolling got a super chat from Let me get the animation up there we go from music fret appreciate you appreciate every single appreciate every single one of you out there uh out there wow wow finish my finish my heart appreciate music but appreciate every single one of you that’s a lot of L’s that is a lot of L’s greg Jones in with the big W but people are saying that’s a lot of L’s a few W’s creeping in a few W’s creeping in squarey is saying WL either way RU L’s is saying Giannis or nothing i think it might be smart to hold out for Giannis i think it might be smart to hold out for Giannis but it is a very very difficult situation like I don’t think it’s going to [ __ ] the franchise or anything i think next season will be very exciting if the Toronto Raptors come out and uh you know get back in the mix if they come out and uh you know get Kevin Durant they go in this year like next year is gonna be super fun like positive negatives there’s going to be a lot of crazy stuff adding Brandon Ingram and Kevin Durant to this team with Scotty Barnes that will be absolutely insane that is something that will be one of the most wild teams to watch not just like Raptors teams that’ll be one of the more wild teams to watch in like the past decade that’ll be one of the more random teams of the more random squads out there at this point so it’ll be exciting for next year without a doubt i think we’ll be very good for the future it’s a massive risk and we’re losing some assets like it’s that’s what sucks in regards to that whole situation so that’s what’s going on in regards to the Kevin Durant stuff but we have a lot more to talk about a lot more to talk about out here on this field we’ll probably yap about some KD stuff i want to get some questions at the end of this but the next bit of discourse the next bit of chat and actually I lied to you i lied to every single one of you i’m gonna run through the the latest bit of Katie news because I’ve just been more on a tirade than I am on the on the actual video side and stuff but uh Katie is good for business for I’ll be candid i’ll be candid as someone that yaps about the Raptors like three times a day out there on YouTube content will be phenomenal if we get Kevin Durant content will be crazy will the team be good i don’t really know but content Boy boy I won’t be asking for we won’t have this this what this goal here this goal here that you see moving up this subscriber count won’t be at like hey let’s get to 38,000 subscribers we will be going for like a 100,000 subscribers if we get Kevin Durant out here that’s that’s what I’m saying so that’s just what I’m going to be saying here now at this point so that’s again I care more about the Raptors winning and not sacrificing their future than I do actual views like the views are going down like Ben cares about views like what what are we doing the sub sub count’s going down but I don’t want to see any of this but basically this team will be really nice but I lied let’s run through the KD updates so update that broke down right before we uh we came out is essentially that a Kevin Durant trade seems unlikely at this point again coming from Gambo so that’s uh that’s the first point that’s one of the first things to discuss and uh one of the first things to talk about so the Heat were favorites this morning they don’t seem to be interested in dealing where so that’s you know where where the line ends for a Kevin Durant trade to the Miami Heat maybe they switch their tone things have been very fluid things have been very very fluid folks very very fluid over the past uh over the past little while that’s uh that’s the reality of the situation here so we’ll keep you up to date with all the fluidity on this uh on this team that’s update one the offers from Kevin Durant for KD from Miami from Houston San Antonio aren’t what the Suns want them to be so that’s another thing to bring up it’s another thing to discuss you know the Suns aren’t getting the offers that they really want so that is uh that is something to deal with that is what it is we talked about that the Toronto Raptors are Okay so this is Let’s see let’s see if we have Okay we got we got some some other juice here moving on from Katie moving on from Katie i’ll play this animation one last time to get a nice transition because there is a new report i’ll have a video on this probably up tomorrow probably up tomorrow regards to uh the future outside uh outside of KD this next topic this next bit of discussion bit of discourse but there’s a player a plan B option so to speak if the Raptors are unable to land Kevin Durant and that is one of the most underrated players in the entire NBA it’s Malik Monk now Ro before I talk about this someone saying KD to T-wolves alarm they said alarm and uh and and Katie devils am I getting am I getting baited am I getting baited here am I getting baited here the Suns don’t want Jaylen Green okay that’s a good offer though okay I think I’m baited some fake news i got hit with some fake news i got hit with some fake news let’s break down this report we’re getting a little little all over the place here retention’s dying the Toronto Raptors are expected to show interest in Malik Monk if they fail to land Kevin Durant this is coming from Clutch Points I believe chris Pier I I saw this sent to me from Clutch Points and NBA Central aggregated and NBA Central does really nice formatted tweets so we we always run there if a trade with the Phoenix Suns for Kevin Durant doesn’t end up happening league sources tell Clutch Points that they will have other targets in mind the Raptors have demonstrated interest in acquiring Kings Guard Malik Monk in a potential trade with that interest dating back to at least February’s trade deadline okay this is a very very interesting very very interesting stuff in regards to this Malik Monk and Kevin D and Malik Monk Toronto Raptor situation verm is yawning at Malik Monk malik Monk is very very good he can playmake he’s an electric scoreer he can score well the question is fit and what the Raptors would have to give up i’m outspoken unless it’s a superstar we keep RJ Barrett there will be riots out here in the chats of Raptors Digest if we trade RJ Barrett for someone that isn’t a superstar there will be riots so I don’t want R.J barrett in a Malik Monk deal however after talking to Chris Gallagher of Nick’s Digest doing a little yapping a little research myself firstly the Sacramento Kings are interested in landing a long-term option at the point guard position this year that’s been widely reported it’s been brought up they’re interested in Trey Young John Moran all these different names marcus Smart emanuel quickly fits the bill of someone that can be you know a cornerstone at the point guard position he’s a starting point guard in the NBA the new GM of the Sacramento Kings is Scott Perry scott Perry is a guy that frankly he drafted Emanuel Quickley he was a big fan of Emanuel Quickley always spoke extremely high of Emanuel Quickley he drafted him for the New York Knicks during his tenure he is a big big fan of Emanuel Quickley could we see some sort of framework of Malik Monk coming to the Toronto Raptors iq going to the Kings the Raptors figuring something out else at the point guard position maybe even a Jamal Shed we saw Shed We saw Shed come out and absolutely play his way out of uh you know Dave play DaVon Mitchell’s way out of town could Jamal shed play IQ’s way out of town could he i don’t know a little little too early there steve is saying Quick’s contract is a flaming turd though it is but like it isn’t it might be but it isn’t just yet there’s not like enough proof to to go out there at that point so maybe there’s an option maybe there’s an option and that leads us so before I dive into that would you want to see a trade package that is centered around Emanuel quickly going to the Kings and back to the Toronto Raptors Terry Rosair would you want to see that happen yes or no out there in the chat let me know yes or no would you want to see Emanuel Quickley to the Kings and uh and Malik Monk back to the Toronto Raptors yes or no let me know let me know out there in the comment section as I give shout outs to people that have followed followed Raptors Digest on Twitter a few people following so we got new people i don’t know if it’s in order i don’t know if it’s in order can I refresh this kp KP KP I appreciate you for following Raptor Digest on Twitter appreciate you i look back at the chat i look back at the chat hard nose hard nose for that deal seeing quickly for pool i mean I think they’d accept it i think they would accept it but uh you know that’s that so I’m in agreement i don’t think that’s a great deal but I think Malik Monk is underrated but the Raptors don’t really need We have RJ Barrett we have Jacobe Walter we have Grady Dick we have so many guys we have so many guys to play that shooting guard position we don’t need Malik Monk to do it but if we if we deal away if we deal away Emanuel quickly there’s another option at point guard folks there’s another option for this team at that point guard position as the Raptors have a plus a thousand odds to land Terry Rosier straight from prison just ahead of the Guandong Tigers behind Olympia Milano behind any G-League affiliate behind any big three team toronto Raptor starting point guard next season could be Terry Rosir it could be Scary Terry the ghost of Scary Terry why on earth are the Toronto Raptors named to this absolute I don’t know why I think they know i think they know Raptors Digest is going to aggregate it he’s going to come straight from prison he’s going to come straight from jail and he’s going to play for the Toronto Raptors he’s going to be like that Adam Sandler movie he’s gonna come out and get that and get that thing rocking you know him and Jonte Porter are going to be our onetwo punch off the bench straight from prison you know they’re going to be they’re going to be betting on the Toronto Raptors you know I I don’t sports bet i don’t sports bet but my god would I be downloading one of these betting apps and throwing the under on Terry Rosair and Jonte Porter if they’re on this team i would be a millionaire i would be a billionaire i’d throw the Life Savings i’d throw the
