Raptors Discussion: v97 Raptor's 2024-2025 - NBA Team

[PanniniClaus]

Poeltl leaving tonight with a hip will help those looking to get a good tank on this month.

Not much in terms of rumors regarding the Raps and the deadline tomorrow. I have a feeling it could be a nuclear 24 hours... that Luka trade may have made every franchise look at their stars and future salary implications.

Good let's get back to losing. Though hopefully the Poeltl injury isn't serious enough to hurt his trade value.

 

[trellaine201]

Yeah who’s trading for him when he is hurt? Maybe depends on how serious? Or maybe they are holding him out in case they trade him?

On second thought he might not get traded at all, given all their issues at C in the past and that he's actually played pretty well. That being said, if he's hurt they should just shut him down, he's reportedly been playing through hip issues which seems stupid given that the team isn't going anywhere this season.

Ideally they acquire Brandon Ingram, let him rehab the rest of the season / summer, get a high pick, and come back next year with a strong and hopefully healthy roster.

He was very unlikely to be traded anyway.

I looked at Ingrams games played in his career. Pretty sad. I don’t think he has played more than 62 games in a season. Still worth it?

Looks like Anderson isn’t going to the Raptors

Thanks for posting updates.
Realgm having a hard time keeping up with traffic.

Man - Bringing slow Mo here would have been baffling.

The Pete Alonso dream had to die for the Brandon Ingram dream to materialize.

Depending on what else is going Brown for Ingram makes sense in a vacuum. Ingram is talented but can't stay healthy. Still not sure that's the move a team that should be tanking should be making

 

[canucksfan]

Weird trade.

 

[Dr.Funk]

Weird trade.

In a vacuum it's good value but Ingram can't stay healthy, he's not the star needed to push a roster with RJ, IQ and Scottie to the next level and this team should be tanking

 

[phillipmike]

So we traded Pascal for Ingram, Walter and Abgaji.

Raps used Pascal’s trade exception to get Davion Mitchell and Shead.

Great asset management imo. I assume an extension is in order.

I’ve been proven wrong before but you can’t teach scoring but you can teach defense.

They would suck defensively but this would be a great scoring team or at least fun to watch;

IQ
Barrett
Ingram
Barnes
Poeltl

Shead
Dick
Walter
Agbaji
Mogbo
Chomche

Add in our lottery pick this year. Some of those expiring, with the young players plus our picks, could be good to have in your back pocket if a star became available.

 

[trellaine201]

I don’t know alot but read others opinions. seems like a big gamble? Or is it a matter of having a hard time getting talent to TO? This guy obviously has talent but hasn’t played alot. Always injured according to games played.

I don't hate it, late 1st and we own the bird rights (Likely to resign him of we want) for a player we likely couldn't get in Free Agency. Ingram/Scotty gets you to the playoffs in a full year and we still keep our 2025 lottery pick.
