Collin Sexton as a budget Donovan Mitchell? Will Masai finally get THT two years after it became clear THT is not that guy? Jarred Vanderbilt up north?

Even if you’re not a “tank fan” the last thing the Raptors should be doing is giving 1sts right now
Depending on what it would cost, Sexton is exactly the type of bench scorer we would want to have moving forward. Shooting 49/39*/84. On a good value contract for three more years after this season.
If we can postion ourselves for a 2023 lotto pick, get assets (young players + 2023 picks) for Gary and Fred, I wouldnt have an issue sending a 2024 or 2025 FRP for Sexton.

We could probably get Nakiel Alexander Walker for cheap. NN knows his game from the National team
I like Sexton. I think this fanbase, especially this sub, could use a Ton of Sex
Great I’ll take Olynyk
Kelly Olynyk you are a Raptor!
only guy I want is NAW
Lol @ Jazz only refusing to trade the two white dudes
If Koloko doesn’t end up better than Kessler, I will never forgive this front office for the Thad Young trade.
I said from before that trade deadline that Kessler is Poeltl 2.0 and basically a lottery talent who looks to fall to the 20s, and that’s exactly what happened. He’s literally gonna make all-rookie team as a 22nd pick. I get that the raptors front office thought they were comparable talents, but Kessler is clearly the better player at this time so it’s tough to swallow.
Walker Kessler?! Danny Ainge sure loves himself his white thoroughbreds
Can we have Jordan Clarkson 🙏🙏
Jarred Vanderbilt
The Jazz ain’t getting any picks from us. This is all to bait dumb franchises to surrender picks to Ainge for Ainge’s own benefit
This report makes me smile. Right now Danny is just pacing the floor, just repeating; ” how do we keep winning? Why can’t they just follow the plan!!…” I don’t think he’s going to get anywhere, what he wants for certain players. League has to know this, the plan is not working and as much as he wants to support the team.. ITS NOT THE PLAN!!!! AGHHHHHHH
