Toronto Raptors Dame trade ideas and rumors

Barnes Dick and Ayton for Dame Nurk and 2nd rounders? Sign me up

 

Of course coming from Miami again

 

True. Some news might come out of Portland if we actually had sports reporters in this city.

 

If it's this or a Miami offer that includes Jaquez, then give me the Miami offer. NO GRADEY DICK FOR GOD'S SAKE

 

Good stuff, and too piggy back, When Portland drafted Dame, they had no idea what they were getting. Same situation with Scoot. Same with Sharpe really. What kind of leap will he make? Will there be a sophomore slump? But both need vets around them. The fact Portland can luck into Ayton regardless of it being part of a Dame deal is incredible. He is a player with vast playoff experience. He has played with super stars. His age and position are perfect for Portland. OG, if available is also a vet at a position of need that age wise fits perfectly. How lucky can one team get in one off season? To me Portland would have to jump at the chance. And who knows what else will be available in a possible OG trade. I would love to get Achiuwa in the deal. Same with Boucher. Can Cronin get a pick out of them? Do Cronin need Gradey Dick? Anything for OG is with the caveat he is willing to re-sign in Portland, and he is not a max guy. He is an above average forward.

 

Love Achiuwa over JJJ/Jovic. Want nothing to do with Trent. OG or Barnes. Do not really care about Gradey Dick. Can he become a reliable sharpshooter off the bench?

 

Negotiating with Masai has to be one of the most frustrating things any GM can do.

I bet they have him in their speed dial listed as "That Asshole"

 

the question is, would trent be enough to pair with nurkic for phoenix?

 

hp has been pro blazers this whole time and is somewhat sourced. I would believe this.

it's a good pod, he is much more articulate than the floridian foamers.

 

If Toronto is unwilling to deal OG or Barnes, the answer is no.

Unless they can come up with a bunch of picks.

 

can you properly make the case for jaquez over gradey? just curious.

because I have to think miami would have taken gradey if he dropped to 18.

 

Swap Thad/Precious then I like it.

 

I don't think Toronto would include Barnes...
Regardless of the Toronto assets, I think Indiana needs to be involved with a Nas/McConnel swap. Something like this:

 

Disagree with you here.

Trent <=> Herro - Both have their issues. I like the versatility of Trent a bit more than Herro, but I can see others differing.
Dick <=> Jaquez - These guys have similar value. I think Dick has a better chance to become an above average NBA player. (He also has a higher bust potential).
Achiuwa >> Jovic - Jovic is a mediocre prospect at best.

 

Phoenix wants TJ McConnell from Pacers. Is there a way to route Trent to Indy? Indy needs to get off of Buddy Hield.

 

As you can clearly see, none of the offers for Dame are great (thanks, Dame) the reason it’s tricky is because some of the players coming to Portland will need to go elsewhere, so multiple teams are involved

 

Hard pass on Trent Jr.
Would have to go to a 3rd team.
oh, and nfw you deal with MIA.
Can't let Dame dictate the terms. NGDFW.

 

Send Dame's ass down to the Remix.

 

I am not sure anyone knows for sure since neither has played a game in the NBA. Both could be busts.

I have seen Jaquez for 4 years so I am familiar with him more. He is a solid 2-way player IMO and will fill the stats sheet but will not be great in any area.

Gradey Dick is not quite 20 and was the Gatorade National Player of the Year in 2022. He has the "potential" to be a great shooter in the NBA. Can his D be average? I think it is possible.
