Toronto Raptors Rumours

28 Nov 2023 07:40:11
Magic doing well with Black and Anthony on PG have more shooting would make them even better:

ORL Green, Hardaway, Holmes, 2nd 2025 TOR via DAL
DAL Siakam, Anunoby
TOR Fultz, Green, Isaac, Harris, 1st 2025 DEN via ORL, 1st 2017 DAL

25 Nov 2023 14:21:26
Warriors:Siakam
Tor:CP3+Moody+Kuminga+1rnd pick Warriors 26

22 Nov 2023 16:26:21
I want to see the raptors and warriors make a trade.

Raps get Wiggins and picks

While warriors get siakim

This would improve the teams chances in winning bother championship if healthy. They also need to make another few trade to help down low. Maybe sign another. Ig who can block shoots.

20 Nov 2023 22:12:18
Tor:Monk+Lyles+H Barnes+ 1rnd pick 26+swap option 25-27+ 2rnd pick 24 and 25

Sac:P Siakam

Kings:
C:Sabonis
PF:Siakam
SF:Murray
SG:Huerter
PG:Fox

21 Nov 2023 06:29:26
Yea, Kings are not giving up all that for what may be a Pascal rental.

Barnes+Mitchell+1st+2 seconds is going to be the Max Kings give.

21 Nov 2023 11:33:18
The funny thing is I feel if Siakam were really on the table, the Raptors cold find better options. And the Kings don't need this direction either.

21 Nov 2023 18:23:52
Siakam is not a significant upgrade to Barnes. Therefore: great for Toronto. Bad for Sac.

21 Nov 2023 23:44:30
come on. Siakam is a great fit in Sacramento
He would be a great third option in the offence after Sabonis and Fox and he's a good defender.
And Siakam fits the Sacramento timeline, he has 4 or 5 good years left.

And he's better then Barnes.
Barnes is a good starter, but Siakam is a two time all star, two time all NBA player and he's two years younger.

22 Nov 2023 14:27:32
It is that drop off in his 3pt% this season that is a concern. especially for Sacramento.

22 Nov 2023 16:24:06
I agree with thia trade Ina sense that siakim would be a great fit for the kings. He's a multi-postional player who can guard anyone and post up and shoot. He's a top 10 PF right now while Barnes is a starter but dosent do anything to land himself in a top 10 let alone top 25.

16 Nov 2023 23:16:33
Three team trade to get the Windy City on the rebuild path, give thunder some front court size along side Chet, while raptors add some 3 and D.

Raptors trade Pascal and Malachi to Thunder (and maybe a few $mm) as well as Chris and Precious to Chicago for Lu Dort, Tre Mann and Zach Levine and maybe a second rounder or two from OKC

OKC also send David Bertans and two FRP to Chi town.

If it works Raps sign OG and Gary at earliest convenience recognizing OG probably will wait til free agency to get paid. If it don't guess they dump at trade deadline. Hats off to Pascal for his accomplishments along the way. Championships rosters rarely are built in one trade. So be gentle boys.

20 Nov 2023 16:24:50
Terrible trade siakim is worth more the lavine and dort won't be traded from OKC besides why would you trade siakim for an often Injuried lavine.

Raptor's need a sg and a good shooter at that. Siakim is worth alot these days and come trade deadline I can see them either trading siakim or OG depending on the return. Barnes will play the role of who goes. And to be honest think they need to trade Trent Jr more then anyone. If he was better and scoring the raptors would win more games. Boucher and tent Jr for a better scoring 2 guard.

12 Nov 2023 00:54:04
TOR trades Flynn

MIL trades Giannis

Milwaukee ends up with the best young prospect the Raptors have who is so good the Raptors haven't figured him out yet.

Raptors get a decent player who hasn't won DPOY since 2020. Maybe Milwaukee needs to throw in a pick?

Thoughts? I'd be very hesitant on trading Flynn but it might be worth it. . .

12 Nov 2023 03:57:53
Malachi Flynn gives me the creeps because I always think of the original Children of the Corn when I hear his name.

12 Nov 2023 11:54:52
Giannis just signed an extension to stay in Milwaukee. u don't think there's any chance he is traded, unless he demands it.
I'd say there's no chance in Hell he would want to go to Toronto.

12 Nov 2023 18:09:56
Milwaukee should add a second. Lol.

12 Nov 2023 20:40:15
This is horrible for Toronto. Flynn is their back-up point guard, they're left with no back-ups for Schroder after this trade.

09 Nov 2023 16:30:58
Raptors/Heat/76ers

Raptors get Hero, Morris Jr. 1st rd pick. And 2nd rd pick.

Heat get siakim, porter jr. And Melton.

76ers get Trent Jr., lowry and Duncan

Then raptors waive Morris Jr. While 76ers get a great leader for a championship run scoring off the bench and more shooting. The Heat get a true pf and another guard to help with the load.

10 Nov 2023 12:53:25
Didn't look it up, but the salaries seem off. 76ers give up Morris + Melton and take back Trent Jr, Lowry + Robinson?

07 Nov 2023 16:30:09
I like this trade

Kings and raptors

Kings get Siakim and Trent Jr.

Raptors get Mitchell, hurter Barnes and picks.

Raptors gain scoring and picks. A future PG and future sg.
H Barnes would probably just be traded to another team either off-season or trade deadline for more picks.

Kings need another big and added a defensive player like siakim and a shooter like Trent Jr. They become a much better team. While the raptors take a step back but add future.

07 Nov 2023 17:19:40
Siakam is the kind of player that fits perfectly with Sabonis & Murray. But is he going to stay?

08 Nov 2023 18:11:24
I would totally do that if Siakam signs an extension.

09 Nov 2023 16:11:40
Speaking from a fan who seen it happen sometimes teams need to take a chance. With the kings land siakim they could be able to sneak in and win if they add other players. And somehow keep H Barnes like thw raptors did with kawhi and gasol they need to go for it if they have ehat it takes.

16 Oct 2023 16:02:50
Midseason if Tor isn't winning & siakam is not nearing extension talks

Cavs- siakam
Okc- allen
Tor- 1st okc, 1st cle, jaylin williams, dort & levert, pick swap cavs, pick swap okc

Cavs add a star next to mitchell ans garland. Big risk but can be worth

Garland
Mitchell
Strus
Siakam
Mobley

Okc add inside presence next to chet

Giddey
Sga
Williams
Chet
Allen

Raps get a lot for pascal

Levert
Dort
Barnes
Anunoby
Poeltl

16 Oct 2023 16:14:22
Cavs decline. Siakam is not a good fit next to our core players. Also, we don't have firsts to trade.

16 Oct 2023 17:14:57
How is Siakam not a good fit in Cleveland? Seems like he’d be an amazing fit with Mobley.

16 Oct 2023 17:42:58
WAY too much for a half year rental of aging Siakam. Maybe if TOR traded him last off season.

16 Oct 2023 19:08:26
Siakam is one of those players who can fit in more than half of the teams in the league.

16 Oct 2023 23:10:36
Allen and a first is way too much for Siakam? How?

Has Siakam become the most underrated player in the league?

17 Oct 2023 20:32:11
I don’t think Allen has that much value that OKC is giving.

25 Oct 2023 20:55:41
siakam is actually a tough fit and doesnt fit most places. he's on an expiring and may have unrealistic expectations about what hes worth going forward.

25 Oct 2023 20:56:03
masai is starting to get exposed.

07 Nov 2023 16:26:27
For the raptors I don't think k this is worth it. I think they need a guard and picks. Dort is definitely a player I would love to have but everyone else is just meh. Cavs would be better but that's if Mobley can play center if he can they it's a win. OKC needs a true center but also needs Dort.

09 Oct 2023 19:46:01
The prime of Irving and Embiid are quite similar over the next 3-4 years. Ask yourselfs, if you add Embiid to NY, Orlando, OKC, Nets, Bulls, Hornets or Rockets, will you immediatelly in it all?

But if you add Embiid to Dallas, you may win immeditally!

Mavs offer 4 x 1st picks, that is a lot for Embiid, maybe the best Center/Forward but becomes 30y and has never play more than 60 games a season!

Before the voices go up, Mavs do not have picks, wait a second. First you send Lively, a very good Rookie, if y ask Towns or Gobert they say "it is a good one"!

You have Prosper and Hardy or you send Prosper to NY or Wizards and Hardy to Orlando or Toronto to get a first back on each and you send Mavs 2026 1st.

DAL Embiid, Bamba (TE)
PHX Embiid, 3xst, Hardaway, Holmes
ORL Hardy
WIZ Prosper

09 Oct 2023 20:39:38
Ok, do not drink Scotch and post . it is PHI that gets Lively :: ) )

09 Oct 2023 23:03:18
Embiid won't want to play for a lottery team.

10 Oct 2023 09:01:52
You are right, :) this is why he goes to Dallas. ;)

10 Oct 2023 21:14:31
The only player on Dallas's team that would be worth a 1st Rd pick is Doncic. Granted, you would get quite a few by trading him, but Hardy and Prosper are both worth a late 2nd Rd pick at best. Embiid won't be traded to Dallas without Doncic being moved, and what's the point if it costs you Doncic?

10 Oct 2023 21:50:22
You have to respect different oppinions - also if you think they are highly nonsence. So if you think, I do different and some GM as well.

11 Oct 2023 12:04:14
We actually don't have to respect different opinions, especially when certain opinions are based in fantasy land and not reality.

16 Oct 2023 19:29:20
Do you cite Mr. Trump? ; )

02 Oct 2023 07:58:37
Blazers/Clippers/T-Wolves

T-Wolves
Get
Malcolm Brogdon

Clippers
Get
Mike Conley

Blazers
Get
Nicolas Batum
Robert Covington
Amir Coffey
2024 2nd.via Raptors from Clippers
2024 2nd.via Pacers swap with Jazz or Cavaliers from Clippers

02 Oct 2023 12:44:14
i like this trade

Conley would be a great fit for the clippers

Minny loses a great leader, but they get a younger player back

And Portland is getting two future assets.

02 Oct 2023 18:43:04
No idea why Minnesota would consider this. Brogdon is not nearly as reliable as Conley and he's not a good PG. He's a scorer.

05 Oct 2023 14:31:45
Blazers will not listen, if they didnt get at least 1 protected FRP.

01 Oct 2023 18:38:20
With Portlands "Blaze of Glory" goin on I almost think Malcolm should stay til at least trade deadline and would be a better fit/veteran presence do to his size and defence than Afernee therefore I would propose the following

Raptors trade Chris B, Thad, Precious and one FRP for Simmons

30 Sep 2023 10:57:08
Jrue Holiday sweepstake,
Teams possible offer:

Celtics: Brogdon, Horford and filler plus picks (1st rd, 2nd rd or swap)

Heat: Lowry, Jaquez/Jovic and filler plus picks (1st rd, 2nd rd or swap)

Sixers: Harden going to a third team.. picks (1st rd, 2nd rd or swap) to Blazers plus third team return players and picks

Raptors: OG or GT, Young and Dick plus picks (1st rd, 2nd rd or swap)

Knicks: Fournier, Quickley and filler/s plus picks (1st rd, 2nd rd of swap)
*not unless they are willing to give up Barrett + Fournier

30 Sep 2023 12:19:25
I don't see Boston trading Horford, he's their one guy who can do a credible job on Embiid and Giannis. If Boston did trade for Holiday, which I see as unlikely due to financial reasons, I see the offer being something like this-

Brogdon
Pritchard
Kornet
J. Walsh or S. Hauser
B. Griffin S & T
Draft compensation

Portland has extra roster spots available but there would likely be multiple teams involved.

Griffin can be signed for about 3.5 mil per year, with only the 1st year guaranteed. He can be waived. Boston can then fill out their roster with vet minimums but it will put them in the 2nd apron.

01 Oct 2023 13:44:27
S&T requires 3 fully guaranteed non-option years. Specifically so teams don’t do that.

01 Oct 2023 14:55:40
Bmiller, not true, and it's been done before. Boston has done it before.

02 Oct 2023 10:25:16
Just heard Bobby Marks say that on Friday, he believed this was going to be the trade instead of including Williams. He specifically said it would have included Blake Griffin in a sign and trade.

22 Sep 2023 00:01:06
Charlotte - Portland - Toronto

Charlotte get Gary Trent Jr & Chris Boucher
- gets some backcourt scoring help and replacement depth at bigs

Ball-Ntilikina
Rozier-Trent Jr-Bouknight

Portland get Gordon Hayward (buyout), Kai Jones, Scottie Barnes, 2 1sts from Toronto, 2 pick swap from Toronto, 2nd round pick Charlotte

Grant
Allen

12 Sep 2023 10:27:18
i lik that anunoby swap for Cleveland

Lillard is a great player, switch teams with Curry and he would have been a champion, but i can't see Toronto giving up 3 picks and two swaps for an aging player, who had some injuries and is who's on a massive contract.

09 Sep 2023 14:29:39
Philly:Irving
Dallas:P Siakam
Clippers:Harden
Tor: Covington+morris+Batum+ 1rnd pick Dal 26+ 1rnd pick philly 29+ 1rnd pick Clip 29

09 Sep 2023 15:39:14
Philly : McNuggets
Dallas: Big Mac
Clippers: Quarter with cheese
Tor: “Give them the fries that are on the floor. ”.

11 Sep 2023 08:54:35
3 unprotected first round picks is good value for Siakam.
Siakam is almost 30 years old, going into the final year of his contract. And he's only worth a big contract for a contender.
I don't think Toronto would let him walk as they did with Van Vleet.

They have a good young talent en prospects, they can rebuilt around Barnes and those Three picks give them the flexibility to improve that rebuilt.

04 Sep 2023 20:40:13
Chi - Cle - Tor

Henderson

Barnes
Grant
Nurkic

02 Sep 2023 03:34:45
The Blazers would want to quickly turn around Trent Jr for some sort of draft pick compensation. As solid free agents don't want to go to Portland, expiring contracts have little value to Portland. Is Trent worth a 1st round pick? Not sure. Maybe two 2nds and a box of cupcakes?

28 Aug 2023 23:05:38
Memphis - hunter

Raptors- bogdanovic, griffin, 1st from memphis & hawks

Hawks- siakam, kennard

29 Aug 2023 00:39:55
I like it for all teams.
