Raptors are getting fleeced
Okay, so explain why Memphis wants to get involved with this? A late first round pick? The Sabonis trade might happen, but I don't see why Memphis does this…
41,000 subscribers.. and I been here since the first vid. I never thought I would say that. LET"S GOOOOO!
i dont want rj to leave but it looks like the raps wont extend him
NO JA. MAAAAAYBE Sabonis but only if we can get some shooting also and not give up multiple pics
Id rather Ja Morant instead of sabonis
I don't get Sabonis as a player. I don't know how he got the contract he got. Why should we be the team paying him. I'd rather keep Poetl and hope he gets better. Nobody else wants Sabonis for a reason.
Raptors fans are narcissistic or something, how is Utah getting jjj ideal for the Raptors? We are an afterthought. That trade was not to get a exception to trade for Jakob. Are you actually insane?
Awesome updates !!!
why would we ever give a first and poeltl for Brandon Clarke….
1st rounder for Edey.
D!ck, Walter, Agbaji and (2) 2nd's – for Portis and Anthony.
-That's an A+ trade day.
Trade Jak another time.
❤ Fuck Sabonis❤Straight trash🎉
I would have preferred the draft pick to be 2027 like it was stated early, 2026 is a great class and 2027 is supposed to be crap, would have been nice to target a center in the draft. Too bad they did not get someone that can block shots I guess I am dreaming Edey coming back from Memphis. They need to start being careful they are signing people to outlandish
…is jakubs back toast? 🤷♂️
Boston just got Vucevic for Anfernee Simons
Not this trade.. kings fleeced the raptors if this trade went through.. my opinion wait for Gianni’s trade then make a move on Myles Turner.. or check Utah if Lauri Markkanen is available..
jesus christ, its clear as day poetls back is toast, apply for the DPE(disabled player exemption) get cap space, trade abaji for a serviceable back up big to duck the luxary tax, use the midlevel created from dpe and get 3 point shooting and pg depth, keep core intact. rjs contract will be more valuable next year when he only has one year remaining , screw gutting the roster and pissing away drsft capital
If there’s any “when he’s healthy” I don’t want him.
The same incompetence that gave Poetl the huge contract with a broken back is the same incompetence that is doing this deal. It won't end well.
cant we get rid of Quickley instead of RJ? Nobody wants EQ?
NO AGAIN! Sabonis didn't suddenly become a better player or a better match for the Raps on the last hour. I'd love the Raps to get out from under the Poeltl contract but not by making a stupid deal like this. Look at RJ's stats. Look at his impact on the team. Then, look at how bad a match Sabonis is for the Raps. I wouldn't trade RJ straight up for Sabonis never mind a first round pick and Dick or Walter. How about Poeltl and a 1st directly to the Grizz for Aldama? I also would go after Bitadze before Sabonis.
Nooo pls not RJ
No thank you just focus on getting Sharpe or Missi. Trade Quickley at the draft then resign RJ.
We are sitting among the top teams in the East right now. I dont know why you make a block buster move like this right now. I dont know why RJ is always part of these discussions, when he is such a major driver of our offense. Evidenced by our struggles to create offence when he was out. I think the five spot woes can be addressed in a less costly manner. If we were not sitting 4th in the East right now I'd be singing a different tune for sure, but condidering where we are right now, this makes zero sense.
What is Bobby Webster doing ?
Bobby should have traded for Jaren Jackson Jr. That was the right player for us. Another lost opportiunity.
Hey man if Grady's defense improved in Darko's system, I'm sure Sabonis' will too
Edey replace Clarke , deal done
In addition to the Grizzlies, as we just reported on our LIVE on @ClutchPoints, the Bulls are another team being linked to a possible facilitator for Jakob Poeltl as per Brett Siegel an hour ago.
Maybe we can pick up Edey in all of this as well
Hate that theres this much talk linking us to sabonis and ja. These remind me Bryan Colangelo era type moves. Trading for Jermain oneal, signing hedo turkaglu, getting shawn marion, then finally the big fish Rudy Gay! Bobby better have a real gameplan if we trade for sabonis because i dont see the fit long term unless were depending on Scottie+ Bi to be our rim protectors going forward
Sabonas's three pointer looks so flat 0 arc. Hopefully coaches can turn that around.
Sabonis cant guard a WNBA player.
All this just for sabonis amd Brandon Clark ? Nah
Give us monk at least not Brandon Clark
we blowing up the team to get 1 or 2 player 😂😂😂
Terrible trade
I would rather stand pat then trade away some of our young pieces..Nobody expected us to be where we are at this point we are ahead of schedule. Why the rush? if we’re being honest, we’re not winning a chip regardless of who you bring in.
Why do you think all these garbage players like Adama is good wow
If you could get Malik Monk included in this deal instead of Clarke I think I could be talked into it. Getting off Poetls contract and having Monk and Sabonis replacing RJs production. Only problem is that it still leaves a problem with rim protection at the 5, Scottie can't fix all the defenses problems by himself.
I’m sold on Sabonis. They will still need shooting down the road. The Raps will have to give up RJ to make it work
