A Better DJ & Photographer 393 Report post Posted January 20 9 hours ago, TrueBlueDrew said: I also think we can get a lot better for TRoss from other contenders or maybe apart of a 3 or more team trade. He's seems to be a valuable commodity for playoff hopefuls who need that extra scoring boost. Maybe LA (either of them) or Dallas or someone else. My hope is that there will be some combination of Ross/Hampton/Chuma/Bamba/Harris for either another player that fits our timeline a little better or gets us someone who could turn into a star next to Paolo and Franz. I know Jordan Poole hasn't had a great year but that's a name that jumps into my head. Or someone else to backup WCJ. We have all those players, plus some great picks available for trade. If the FO wants to make a move, now is the time. We need a reliable backup PG that plays both ends, and a backup C that protects the rim. We don't need either of those to be rookies.

Albert Lergier 85 Report post Posted January 20 Per Hoops Hype this.... The Raptors won’t be able to extend Trent Jr. during the season, so if he has a strong year he could look to get a significant raise off his $18.8 million player option for next year. IF TRUE AND IT MIGHT VERY WELL BE THE CASE....THE RAPTORS HAVE TO TRADE HIM FOR SOMETHING BY THE TRADE DEADLINE. A TRoss, RJ and Bamba offer from us could get it done....Gary's has to be committed to re-sign to make any trade. Three for one doesn't look right but it's just one of a few possible scenarios...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nembhard is good, has at least 3 more years of control and is dirt cheap. Even though he is probably blocked by Haliburton and Mathurin in the future starting line-up it's way more valuable to keep him. Look at how the Celtics have used Smart over the years. Smart has went back and forth from the starting line-up to the bench over his career,but they never let him go. Pacers have a lot of guards. They seem on the brink of falling out of the playoff chase. I wish we would have had our own Domantas Sabonis to trade for Haliburton. He would have been perfect for this team. Oh well. Now being realistic about the Pacers what could we trade for Buddy Hield? Only one reason i would want him. He is cost controlled for a year and a half and is historically one of the best 3 point shooters.He would open up the offense i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that combination gets it done. I think in order to get Gary, you're looking at giving up Cole or Jalen. My assumption is they prefer Cole and we prefer to give up Jalen.

Soul Bro 1,230 Report post Posted January 21 I do think we need to choose between Jalen and Cole. There’s too much youth and inconsistency between the two of them. Of the two, I’d like to trade Cole, though I think Jalen has more value. Cole is eligible for a contract extension this summer, and his analytics show he’s awful at defense and his shooting is also a problem (see link below). https://orlandomagicdaily.com/2023/01/06/cole-anthony-more-prove-stay-orlando-magics-plans/amp/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is a Olapido vs. Fournier conversation all over again y'all. Oladipo - Hard worker, great athlete, good defender, good finisher, inconsistent jump-shot Fournier - Great yet streaky shooter, decent athlete, coasts on defense, likes to play hero ball (and sometimes makes big shots which makes people love him) THIS IS LITERALLY THE SAME DEBATE. Let's not make the same mistake again... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
