I kinda like the idea of moving Trent, young, + salary filler and picks for Lavine then moving siakam to help fill out this roster with more shooting and a first round pick or two (definitely in this up coming draft) I think it would balance out the roster a bit better and make it make more sense overall.
Do you think Masai Ujiri will make a genuine attempt to trade for Zach Lavine?
I just hope we get another scorer to go with Scottie.
Zach has not been on any really good teams, so hard to say weather he's worth trading away future for, but he is athletic, and can shoot. Raptors are always in players talks, as we can't sign superstars, so we have to trade for them.
I'm sure Masai wants to keep OG and Scottie. Odd man out looks like Pascal and his salary matches too. The only problem I have with Lavine is he's ball dominant and that might hurt Scotties growth.
Trading for Lavine doesn't make any sense in the short or long term. He doesn't make them a contender and does nothing for the future. 48M/yr. Hard Pass. Moves are required, but this one won't do it.
I don’t trust Shams word anymore after he confirmed Lilard to the Raptors
We’re not getting Zack Lavine… stop wasting ur breath on this
yall have got to stop making these videos. everyone that thinks we should trade for zach freakin lavine are crazy. he doesnt make us better at all. we dont need a zach lavine period. shams needs to stfu bruh
are the bulls winning with lavigne
Unless this trade is centred around gary trent.. than forget it. Starting 5 is off the table… zach may be nice… but its really only on offense. This man dont play no defense.
If we can package gary with thad young someone else and a pick then lets pull the trigger. Pascal too good to trade for lavine. Ogs defense is too good to give up. Scotty is untouchable jak just got signed and dennis is having a career year. And boucher is proving himself too important to the bench. Its gotta be gary.
Please no. Zachary sans injury history, yes.
In no way shape or form can I see this idea of getting Lavine as a good one or one that puts us over the top. Even in the best case scenario where all we give up is salary filler and dumps and some secondary players like GTJ or Boucher, keeping PS, OG and Barnes together; is that enough to make us playoff assured and or championship contenders? Nope. The other problem of course is what the Bulls want in return. How do they not ask for draft picks? None of this makes sense from a Raptors perspective.
Like most… Gary maybe. But I hope not.
Og might bounce on us. We might have to overpay for Gary. This is an issue.
Zach for Skills balances the S5. Defence gets iffy on the wing but team scoring goes crazy.
