Hi Ben, the Raptors do not need Kawhi Leonard we need Ivica Zubac. This is perhaps a better trade with the Clippers:
Immanuel Quickley ($32.5M) + 2026 1st + 2026 2nd (via LAL) + maybe 2027 2nd for Ivica Zubac ($18.1M) + Bogdan Bogdanovic ($16M). The money works for both teams (Bogdan is the right money filler) and I believe this is a fair trade value exchange. What do you think? The PG position can be worked on/determined before the trade deadline. Cheers!
Leonard is always injured keep away.
Could start shead…dont need scoring at pg
I'll keep saying it, if there's a chance AD is available Raptors need go after him hard if we really want to make a home run trade. Zubac would be awesome though but not for 2 first rounders
Zubac would be perfect
And what if he gets banned for the aspire involvement?
Yes if we get Kawhi and zu hell yeah😂
YESSS scottie deserves at this point to compete in the playoffs this gets him there with a shot to advance
Who knows Kawai could get suspended
Really two starters for part time player, no thanks
We’ve seen Kawhi sparingly play in the reg season…then when he really ramps it up in the playoffs he gets injured.
Yes
Yes
No. I wouldn't make that trade. We give up our best three point shooter plus a highly effective player that attacks the rim for a washed up, injury prone player that at best has 2 more years. The real asset is Zubac.
Ewww f no
I believe bobby has a “promise” to bring back Ulrich chomche in the near future. Thats why we have not fully filled his position yet. It’s makes a lot of sense
I won’t lie, this video is arguably one of the biggest plot twists in Raptors content history 😅
(I did not see a Kawhi trade video coming)
Well done 😊
Y
No way, he got his choice to stay and he decided to leave the Raptors because he want to be close to home big BS. Good for Clippers you got a lemon after Raptors won the 2019 championship. Yes, you can trade for their Centre so we can have a stable 2 centres and mamu as backup.
Too much drama and Toronto is already doing well! We do need a back up center. If Klaw is to be considered… it better be if he is bought out by the Clips 😂
nope to the trade. it does really look like a good trade. I don't want to mess up the way the boys are vibing right now. I do agree we really do need a solid Center, maybe work out a trade just for the Center.
Yes Yes Yes
if kawhi wanted to take a steep discount, but that's not happening.
no sir. If it aint broke dont fix it.
The trade could work. Just keep Uncle Dennis at bay. Tell him to stfu. 😂
As good as Kawhi is, he's still an aging part time player. We don't need that, we need a backup centre.
Ben, at this point your channel is essentially just raptors rage bate.
Kawhi doesn't want to be in Toronto. This trade is pointless.
I actually like the trade but then you may need to trade BI for a point guard…
Let's do it!
hate this trade, i cant stand kawhi…
*@&$ Kawhi and Uncle Dennis.
Am I the only one who thought Mamu looked good out there with the closing unit as the 5?
But he doesn't want to be in Toronto. If he left us after winning a chip why would he be happy to be here? I'm pretty sure he will end up with the lakers somehow (even though he hated them) but he will be able to stay in LA close to home.
