Trae makes like 40 sheets a year.. neeeext.
I'm in!
The east is open this year – make a push!
Davis gives us an amazing chance at getting to the finals.
IQ/Jak/Ogbaji
for
Davis/Nembhard and a 1st (protected).
Raptors great medical staff might be able to help him stay healthier than usual.
Still must make a trade to get a solid back up PG ready to break out, wasted on someone's bench (use Grady or Walter) to get one.
We dont need ad or trae young unless the trade doesn't involve rj or scottie or bi
The Jak and IQ contracts are not exactly Bobby's best work.
Remember one thing Davis is actually a PF not a center
If IQ was in this deal not RJ you could use RJ, SB frontcourt BI at the 3 AD at the 4, JP center
I’d rather give up little for Trae young than anything for Davis, we already have one center who doesn’t play
Sloppy barnes plus OA and walter plus 5 picks for GA 🎉🎉🎉 thats the only trade we should make
We need a PG
No AD for RJ terrible trade for the raptors and keep shed
HELL NO. Period.
Go get Time Lord Or Gafford and lets see what happens
We dont need Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis 😂
Deal should be yak+iq + picks for ad
AD's new nickname is… Fool's Gold
davis is a 4 not a 5, this makes no sense, unless bobby can fleece em like masai
i would rather the raptors trade for an injured dejountay murray than trae young
2019: Raptors trade for an injury prone Superstar. Everybody doubts them, they win a championship
2026: Raptors can trade for an injury prone Superstar. Everybody is doubting them. Why can't we do it again?
Raptors needs to forger all these trade rumors.
Jacob is the problem. We have a good Team. If you don't illuminate the problem it will alway be there.
Raptors are a young team, there is no need to run out and kill yourself to get 2 broken players with bad contracts and injuries on your team.
Raptor are in the driver's seat. They have CMB they don't have to beg. They have SB, and scoring duo in BI l and RJ.
Raptors should focus on drafting 2 centers next year instead of following hype train for clout.
I mean what are we giving up?
AD cant stay healthy and he is getting older. Doesnt make any sense
ben – take a chewable vitamin C tablet every morning, get way more sleep, your body will recover. I don't want Trae he is not an upgrade other than possibly his mastery of foul-baiting
Trae Young is a ball hogger. That is against the Raptors culture so I wouldn't put any bets on him
NO thank you AD and TY ,
We don't need AD. Brooklyn neta have said they will accept a unprotected first and other assests for Nic Claxton. Give them Poetl, Dick, 2026 pick and a future top 5 protected first round pick for Claxton and Clowney
If Trae comes here on a bargain deal i don't see how anyone can complain.
Quickley, Ochai, Mogbo and Temple for Young. Salary virtually matches. Do it up if that's all it takes. This is not even mentioning his contract is a player options next year. So it's not like we'll have his contract on the books for long term
RJ for another injured big man? We can’t do that.
STOP
if we’re only giving up like Gradey & Quick and a couple 2nd rounders then maybe..Other then that hell no..Stay with the youngsters and let it ride no need to rush this process
I would be willing to do this three team trade that gives some insurance behind AD and his injury history. Jakob is also becoming in a similar boat so maybe at the right price the risk is worth it.
The three team trade would be:
Raptors Get:
(MAV) ANTHONY DAVIS (increasing $54.1M)(3yr with PO)
(NET) DAY'RON SHARPE (flat $6.2 M) (2yr with TO)
Team becomes $2.9M under the Cap
Mavericks Get:
(RAP) JAKOB POELTL (increasing 19.5M)(5yr with only 5M guaranteed in yr5)(Poeltl can be traded after Jan 7, 2026)
(RAP) IMMANUEL QUICKLEY (flat $32.5M) (4yr)
(RAP) 2026 RD 1
(RAP) 2026 RD 2 (via LAL)
(RAP) 2027 RD 2
Team becomes $2.1M under the Cap
Nets Get:
(RAP) GRADEY DICK (increasing $4.5M)(2 yr with TO)
(RAP) OCHAI AGBAJI ($6.3M) 1yr
Team increases salary by $5.1M but remains under the Cap by $10.3M
Cheers!
Biggest mistake in raptors history .
Toronto raptors need a consistent PG and rim defender 👍👍👍
Trade for AD so he can sit in street clothes on the bench for tens of millions against the csp.
Could have has Zach Edey at 10% of tge cost.
I'm curious to see how Mo Bamba does before paying this money to AD who is injury prone.
I cant see this happening.. Having to match salaries which of the starters will get traded? Are we just trading an injured center for another injured center? If we are not trading Jak.. which of the Raps starter is getting traded?
Do it Bobby boy!
The raptors need a center. AD does not like playing center. Forcing him to play center will only exacerbate his injury problems
This would be a disastrous move, unless it was simply a deal you couldn’t refuse. Davis is constantly injured, aging, and expensive.
