    And if Portland can't send Dame to Brooklyn, I want him in Philly for Maxey as the center piece, then flip Maxey to Brooklyn for, you guessed it, Claxton and one of their rookies, pick, whatever is deemed fair value for Maxey

    I don't think your Maxey deal is even as good as what Miami is offering. I think Miami can get Herro to Brooklyn and possibly get you Claxton and possibly even take Nurk off of our hands.

    If we are going to make a move with Philly it would have to be a four team move with Maxey going somewhere and that team giving us good value for him and Harden going somewhere and that team giving us good value for him. Otherwise we're going to get less than what I'm sure Miami is already offering.

    The #1 pick in the 2025 draft! Is that too much to ask for?

    I would love it if Rupert could simply have enough offense to be good on that end, because his defense might be DPOY level.

    No, not if Dame's leaving. Add it to the Blazer's gift basket.

    This is a recent poll from the RealGM Raptors forum:

    upload_2023-7-3_22-48-37.png

    A year ago this would've been 95-5 No. The lack of progress in certain areas has made some fans impatient. Ujiri can be ruthless and he'd trade Scottie for a championship unless he thought Scottie could get him more than one.

    That's interesting. I agree that perception has shfted... Barnes just wasn't that great this year, and the Siakam/OG/Barnes core doesn't seem to make that much sense given how mediocre they were this past year. Now they need a PG (Schroder? Hah) and Dame had his best season ever. Also, teams like the 76ers and Celtics didn't appear invincible...

    So, yeah. Move salary and Barnes. Plug in Dame with OG, Siakam, and Poeltl and they win the East.

    If I were a Raptors fan, I would definitely consider it.

    You guys just need more small forwards man. That's your key to success.

    One for one of course you do it if you're Toronto. Practically speaking the salary difference seems to make the trade impossible.
