    Why on earth would Miami give a 1st round pick? Or do this at all? Lol.

    I know we probably should do it, but I really don’t want to give up Sharpe unless it’s for KD.

    So Speeds, I value your opinion when it comes to the Raptors. What is their issue? Injuries? No center?
    In your opinion what is missing and who really is available in a trade? Like many I want Siakam. Is he not fitting in with the others?

    Dame, DeRozan and Grant as a big 3? I don’t think anyone could have predicted that Grant would have such an impact as he does before coming to the Blazers.

    The Raptors are 29th in team 3-point shooting percentage. That's a problem.

    Zero guard depth, zero centre depth, no bench scoring.

    I assume the FO is waiting to get blown away by offers for Pascal, Siakam, and OG at the deadline.

    Dort! The only 6’4” player on earth who can play SF full-time!

    Dort and GP2 would be a crazy defensive combo.

    Kenyon Martin Jr should be a target as well.

    well, if the Blazers are interested in either Siakam or OG....and the Raptors want a haul of picks for either...then Portland has itself to blame for not firing Olshey's ass BEFORE he obligated every single first round pick he could for Larry fucking Nance. Blazers have no unencumbered 1st to trade

    Me too! I just don’t think the Raptors are going to trade Siakam.

    It seems like they have an abundance of 6'7-6'8 230 lb forwards. Do they all want to be there? I would trade the one who does not want to be there. But in the end, it will come down to what is offered. Siakam would be a game-changer for a contender, but he also has the hardest contract to match.

    They got beat on defensive rebounds last night 60-33. I don't know if that is a recurring problem?
