Sportnet says he WILL NOT REPORT!
Raps should just sign either Jamarion Sharp or Dawson Garcia from the g league
He will not report… is there a league with a more insufferable player base.
This trade effectively kills the sabonis trade as the kings wont take jakob or IQ contract, and there is no way to get to sabonis money with RJ, without sending out all the young players with mamu.
the issue was kings wont take jakob contract or IQ. so raptors would have had to involve a 3rd team to eat jakobs contract with a 1st round pick as compensation. but the kings also wanted a 1st for sabonis when the raptors were only offering two 2nds. so the deal died when they could not come to an agreement. also the ochai trade kills this trade as the raptors have very little ways to match salary with RJ with no jakob or IQ.
I really hope he gets some playing time, i really like Chris Paul one of my fave point guards
What role is he going to play? Man is a dinosaur at this point. He going to play a Garett Temple role? I don't see the Raps blowing up the roster to make him the main man on the front court.
How about center
If RJ sits tonight then we know…
Sounds like a trade for the sake of a trade,,,, Maybe he can be useful in a salary match trade
also its not CP3 anymore, he is old, and washed so he is now CP0. plus with the reports he was going behind coach lue's back telling the young guys not to listen to him and do what he says. CP0 likely wont get picked up because they wont trust him as the 15th player now to not backstab the coach.
WE NEED A BIG COME ON MAKE IT HAPPEN
I dont mind this trade just wish they got someone we can use like a Jock Landale out of Utah sure Ainge would have done this for Ochai and a 2nd
Im so against RJ being traded. I will instantly become a Jak hater if he goes
For good sakes just trade for Dayron Sharpe and then sign bagley at the buyout. Sit Poetl for the year.
He will bewaved CP3 isn't required to report to the raptors
@benrogers bobby marks saying Giannis likely traded by midnight tonight or a little after.
why wouldn’t we play cp3
If Bobby doesn't get us a rim protecting center I will be grabbing my pitch fork. Yves Missi is worth a 1st
Not that surprising if you look at it from a salary perspective and trying to duck the luxury tax.
He will ruin the vibes, they said he doesnt have to report to the team
Please make RJ get past the trade deadline 🙏🏿
Lol Ingram and CP3 know the same team is funny iykyk. Wish that this happened earlier in B.I's career
😂😂😂👏👏👏 big block buster trade … we have temple Now cris Paul we need PF LeBron and center de Andre Jordan , Jeff green ….raptors for sure championship caliber… Best GM Bobby Webster ….👏👏👏
we're going to the moon with Chris Paul. Lets start the Champioship parade planning….not
this is masais top 5 team, bring him back
Now, the Ochai thing is bad, but maybe its a trade thing? I don't know the penalty for luxury tax vs 1st apron vs 2nd apron too well but I don't think luxury tax one is all that bad (have read them couple times). It may be to facilitate another trade? (Honestly, no clue how this will help at all, seems idiotic) if its to just do nothing and stay under tax though, to me it is what it is. Good lord though a 1st and a 2nd just to have Olynyk for 3 months and Abaji for 120 games
Get rid of Paul as soon as possible. Not hating on him but he is definitely not a winner
What dummies are calling for the Raptors to trade RJ Barrett and a #1 or #2 for Sabonis????? Sabonis makes $42.3 million this season, $45.4 million next season and $48.6 million in 2027-28. You people thought this was a good idea??? You are promoting this???? Raptors fans and YouTubers are insane!
