  1. Moussa Cisse and Kyrie Irving for Jakob Poetl and Imannuel Quickley and a 2nd rd. Pick….then get Demar Derozan for bench help when he's bought out at deadline..you clear a roster spot for a centre on the Veteran Minimum and you are golden going into the playoffs

  5. Your trade would have the team in a 14-player min roster compliance violation.
    RJ + A Martin = Norm Powell + Jalen Smith. This makes us Better on Def with J’KW start on PG. Better shooting, Reb, Def and able to matchup vs more diverse rosters.

  6. Kyrie is one of my favourite player, but I think we need to upgrade our Center. Poeltl is unatheletic, low IQ and weak for a Center. The team spends too much effort compensating for him.

  7. No he’ll noooo. Quickly and Jacoby Walter are young and quickly is gonna have a good season. I just know it. Kyrie Irving is definitely a superstar, but he’s already been in a league for really long time and he’s starting to get injuries especially coming off a serious one I wouldn’t risk it. I think Toronto Raptors have good chemistry going on right now and they just got Kawai I say leave it alone!! don’t fix something that’s not broken. You really wanna go after somebody go after a centre a really good centre like Sabonis.

  8. Toronto can use a superstar center that’s about it. Everything else I love it. Toronto’s got everything else. just go after a superstar center. Get a center that can get you 12-14 rebounds a game.

  11. As a Raptors fan, Sabonis can’t stop crap but I’d reroute him for Quick and poetlt to get Kyrie and Gafford for Sabonis, Shead and a pick. Shead is tough to swallow but Masai needs something. I hope Walter goes nuts so we can keep roster intact

  15. Raptors need to improve their center position. Raptors need to face the fact that if they want to contend they will be paying some form of cap tax for the next 2-3 seasons. If not the Kawhi move was just window dressing. Also, Kawhi could have easily stuck around in Toronto for a season to defend the NBA title then went back to LA after the fact. the only reason Kawhi is back in Toronto is because of the Aspiration scandal otherwise he'd be in LA. Kawhi was willing to go to San Antonio or Toronto, but San Antonio quickly backed away from a potential trade reunion after it was announced that he might be traded live during the NBA draft. Kawhi is doing what he is doing so he can be honored after his career has ended. SA wasn't going to do it. LA – he did nothing of merit during his Clippers tenure to be honored in LA in retirement. Game recognize game.
