NBA TRADE DEADLINE: The Toronto Raptors should STAY THE HELL OUT of the Giannis Antetokounmpo derby
The Toronto Raptors have been tangentially mentioned as potential Giannis Antetokounmpo suitor, but should they sit this star derby out? In Episode 2031, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl discuss how exhausted they are by the never ending Giannis saga, a why the 29-20 Toronto Raptors should steer clear of a bidding war. Off the top, they chat about how odious this whole thing continues to be, and why the Raptors just aren’t in the right place to be a viable Giannis landing spot. Next, they talk about whether the Raptors front office owes it to this fun, exciting version of the team to not upset the chemistry balance with a rash move. Lastly, they dive into what they’re hoping to see the Raptors actually do before the deadline, with small moves on the margins being their shared desire.

We have our own Giannisā¦ we have Scottieā¦ no need for this tradeā¦ we need to add or grow consistent shooters, point guard and a bigā¦
love the Tempo gear SW is often wearing… I hope we get a season this year.
I think if Giannis gets traded, I think Raps should look at trying to trade Jak for Turner.
Raps are loaded with young players ā¦..they can give bucks draft picks no problem three firsts ,,,,,,,,matching salary is a wrench in the gears ā¦..so that means quick or JR ā¦.next 5 days will tell the tale
Jalen Smith & Keon Ellis or KPJ & thats it!
If we can get that done by giving up our 2027 first & 2 seconds then we should do it.
Following trade will give us shooting, rim protection & a 3& D guard. This will at least shore up some of our weaknesses & give us a fighting chance in the playoffs.
Scottie and BI are off the table in the deal. Big 3 of Giannis+Scottie+ BI ill take it!!!!
Best i can do is jakob poeltl and 3 1sts
I look forward to trades by the Raptors for multiple centres and tall point guards (ideally at least 2 of each type). IDK if Giannis fits the bill on either count for the Raptors.
