The Rockets & Nets make 0 sense.
CMB has to be untouchable with SB & BI, the upside is way too high.
The way we keep running from Purple is insane. Bring back Purple jerseys !!!!
Ja is a very risky move
Oh wow iq and jah are the same age. No way in hell I want jah anywhere near this team
The purple OG jerseys were always good. I don't get why the brought it back for one season
Ayeeee
Ja is a great player..alll star..super star….mega star…..but is he going to fit Raptors environment. If Darko asks him to work harder is he going to have a tantrum??
Lol. The Alt jersey is not it . And neither is Ja.
I don't think even Darko can pull a guard whisperer miracle . Its not guard play or confidence, it's thug life mentality. Bruh it's been years Ja been on this track. You know how it is: "You can take the G outta the hood but…"
Now if Darko can turn him around: instant Coach of the Year.
A short guard who relies on speed and altheticism, and cant shoot? No thanks. Especially not to pair with 2 other stars who also dont really shoot 3s.
Aint happen
I respectfully disagree, jersey's are niiice!!
With that trade I’d rather just keep Trae Young lol. Ja is a terrible fit with the raptors. It would ruin us. And he HAS TO have the ball in his hands. Literally it he whines
Any team trading for this dude are not serious. He peaked in his 3rd year. He cant shoot and doesnt play defense.
The raptors do not need him.
The u.s media is always trying to dumb trash in toronto.😢😢
I also saw a smaller trade that was for Jalen Suggs. Not a bad idea. To me we need defense and three shooting. We have a lot of scoring in our starting unit.
Bro we don’t want ja man
Ja is a terrible fit on the team
If the Jays taught us anything it's how much the locker room and team chemistry matter… Ja is not worth the headache.
The balck jersey with the city skyline looks like pyjamas. Yuk. Go Retro baby.
I think Darko would help reinvigorate Ja's passion for basketball. I say make the trade and see how things play out. The Filipino community has lots of love for him.
We all know he's good. He's just a pile of troubles. No Ja. No Thank You.
Just because there's a good discount on something, it does not mean it makes sense to buy. Applies to shopping, applies to NBA trades. Watch your wallets, watch your team chemistry and needs.
Ja playstyle has a ton of wear and tear. After that speed goes, he's 6-2, no defense, needs the ball to make stuff happen 🤷
When’s the last time the raptors had a player who wasn’t a high character guy? I don’t think they are interested because of personality alone. Personally would prefer Suggs.
this team has alot of upside and alot of potential – stay here with it and move one of them when their value increases and when we can make a final run
Guy is a talented basketball player, however his attitude is something to be desired and no guarantee he comes here and loves it in TO. If they can get him for Quickley, Ochai and a few 2nds that would be something to consider.
Quickley did not have a terrible game last day and his shooting will always be better than Ja's. I would not mind seeing a few more games before we start making moves. Really like to see CMB, Jakoke and Gradey stay with the team. They are more affordable option and we have to watch cap jail soon. Not interested in one of those give up the team trades cause this guy was once a great player
I am sorry, bringing an attitude might just not work and may destroy the future of this team. Secondly we have struggled for some time with 3 pt. efficiency, Ja is not a decent 3pt guy.
Should have started out with the jerseys first!
I will buy the city jersey!
No to Ja. What we need to do is trade a couple small wings for PG + C depth so if IQ struggles a given night we have some other options. This is also true if IQ or Shead gets hurt.
I remember when the Vince Carter Jerseys were leaked and people ragged on them until they saw it on the players. Anything is better than those chevon jerseys.
Perhaps it's unfair to bring this up
but I'm remembering the time a few years ago when Philadelphia was basically asking for Toronto's starting five players for Ben Simmons.
Turned out that it would have been a bad deal for Toronto to trade one starter for Simmons,
let alone five starters.
There are some similarities between Simmons and Morant
even if their playing styles are very different.
Injuries, prima donnas,
lack of effort,
little interest in playing for teams that aren't champion contenders
and immense potential in their first couple of seasons that didn't work out well.
The only way this makes sense for the Raptors is if they trade for Morant to get rid of a couple of contracts that aren't working out and then trade Morant to a third team which has managers who think they can turn Morant into an all star or even a super star.
Who is saying Morant is a favorite to land in T.O? ..cause I watched NBA today yesterday and they didn't say that, and they had all the bigs from the NBA media on the show including SAS – they named Boston, Mia, the Clip, Houston, a couple more teams but nt the Raps. Same with PTI, they never named the Raps.
Am I the only one who hates this new jersey? I love the raptor on the front but the number colour and jersey colour is so boring
Mann, he is not coming to Toronto the fit with the team the off court issues the injury history it makes no sense
Its the fans who think the team needs a PG, not the team – listen monkee's, BobbEE DuBBs isn't trading away IQ right now because he had a few games of playing under his potential. Also, think about the addition, Morant is mid-game, you have BI who dines out on the mid, you have CBM the mid-master, and you have Jak and Scottie who gets theirs mostly from the mid – that's a lot of paint clogging. With this you become more of a crash and bang team in the paint hoping to get foul calls going you way – the advantage with it is that the other teams gets into foul trouble and the team gets to the bonus first … but things don't always go as planned. It's not a move BD wll make 10 games in – Memphis in trouble isn't up to the Raptors to be their saviour. Plus, it's almost a sideways with IQ talent wise – Morant is today's Westbrook, you can't win with him.
Also, I know you all want to build a "love fest" between Darko and Morant but its a different relationships from being one of the assistance to head coach.
Only offer Jakobe, IQ and GD. We need our draft picks
Jared McCain.
Quickley & Agbagi for Ja
Too much baggage ……pass
Just looking at them I'm pretty sure they are glow in the dark jerseys… Interesting idea
Morant, RJ, Scottie and B.I would be sick.
No to Ja. He’s a name more than he is a great player. I say his game continues to decline as he relies almost exclusively on athleticism which will fade as he ages.
Ochai is a waste of minutes
Oh great. Another problem child that doesn't shoot 3's. Not sure if this would work?
keep this guy away from here
I doubt many of Ja's friends/family would be allowed across the border.
He is toxic – no team with him as their best player is going to win. First off, he doesn't want move the ball and play .5 basketball. After all the problems he has had he is right back at it. He is also injury prone. The things he has done to get in trouble are idiotic – waving a gun at a trip club then getting caught waving a gun in the car the same season??? He is an ultra rich moron – he does not need a gun. The only explanation is that he is an immature, dumb wankster. He's a cancer
The Ja trade may just work but there's no guarantee and it's more likely that it is a bust, rather than a success. However, Dark being his older coach, a change of country and fanbase could just do wonders. He'd be on a team filled with up and coming stars. It could just work. Aside from him not playing any defense at all, I'm not too opposed to seeing how this goes. Be prepared for the worst but hope for the best, maybe?!
Masai would never trade for a Rollin' 60s gang member with off court gun issues and other serious character flaws. Not to mention that he's injury prone and his father is another issue as well.
Need to stay away from Ja and let this team grow together. Only a minor trade is needed for a backup center ex: Ochai Ogbaji for Nick Richards.
He’s the wrong kind of PG, possible vibe disrupter
