Celtics talking to Denver regarding Gallinari. They want a first back. I'd be inclined to do that if I was the Raps, might need to make the salary work though. Still got a year after this one on his contract too.

I think I looked at gallinari and it would require sullinger, Joseph, and a small piece like siakam or Bruno. He's slightly more expensive, salary-wise, than Chandler.

Biggest issue is the pick. If Boston is so incline, in any deal they can offer up a pretty much guaranteed top 5 pick. Best the Raptors can do is like 24th+.

not traded yet bad account

Gonna be interesting to see what goes with sullinger and the 1st. I just hope it's not Wright

It's a phony account not real I hope they do make the deal though

Nerlens Noel going to Dallas for Justin Anderson, Bogut, protected (1-18) first.

There is a chance the 76ers may move or look to buyout Bogut as part of this deal.

Bogut cannot sign with GSW, so CLE looks obvious if he wants to chase a title. Besides that I would offer him if I were the Raps. I've always liked his game, even if he does have injury issues

He seems like a guy who wouldn't like making moves during the 11th hour of trade deadline day.

Obviously, he could still make a move even though he would prefer not to do it in this situation.

Are there any SF's who are potential buyout candidates? That's probably where we'll look if Masai can't make a move.

I guess Masai wanted to keep the first rounder. Still 8 minutes left though

I don't really think Bogut is all that interesting. Masai is constructing this team to be quick to get up and down the court. JV is already kind of already on the fringe of fitting that mold, adding Bogut would make the team even slower.


Also Woj just tweeted that the Pacers have closed up shop on Paul George and will not be trading him.

I sort of agree with him, unless it's the right player, I would keep our 1st. Even though it's in the 20's, this is apparently the best draft in a while.

I would have had no problem moving any of: Sullinger, Joseph/Wright, or Siakam. They wouldn't get you much, though.

 

[Cor]

I was thinking we'd maybe parlay CoJo into a SF, or Sullinger + pick.

Ibaka was a big move though, just deadline day greed from me haha

The Phoenix Suns are trading PJ Tucker to the Toronto Raptors, league source tells @TheVertical.

Tucker to TOR

Woj reporting the Raps get PJ Tucker

 

[donghabs98]

Interested to see the return

 

[The Nemesis]

Tyler Ennis from Hou to the Lakers as a tie-on deal to the Lou Williams deal. In return the Rockets get a contract they can buy out to free up roster and cap space.

Ennis' stock has fallen huge since the draft. I remember all the talk about people wanting the Raptors to trade up from their eventual pick (which was Bruno) for Ennis expecting that he could be Lowry's backup and eventual successor.

 

[Vexed]

Masai is a wiz if we keep the 1st

 

[The Nemesis]

Sullinger (salary match) + 1st seems reasonable.

 

[Cor]

Sullinger and two future 2nds for Tucker

Atta Boy Masai!

 

[Eyedea]

Lol OKC trades three third string players and get McBuckets and Gibson. I know Chicago is just clearing space but they went through a lot just to get McDermott and now they end up just tossing him aside.

 

[habamillions]

Sully and 2 future 2nds. Not bad
