Let's go!

Going down to the wire.
Game of chicken.

Fun.

So the Raptors acquire Gary Trent Jr, while the 905 have Gary Payton II

new Masai strategy: Hoard all the Gary Jrs. Does Gary Grant have a kid? Can we hold out for the spawn of Gary Forbes?

Just hope we don't trade him for a bad offer just to trade him.

Genuinely believe Masai won't blink unless he gets what he wants. NBA has way less draft and prospect capital than in other sports, so if you're not getting the guy you want you can legitimately see the value of Lowry, his bird rights, and potentially re-signing him exceeding expiring contracts and a depth piece. We're not privy to what the Raptors think of these guys, but I trust Masai. Also worth noting that Kyle is playing a big role here too. They're not going to screw him over, one way or the other. If he's here at 3:01, he'll understand why and be part of that process.

Clippers out on Lowry they acquired Rondo from Atlanta for PG.

Down to Lakers and Heat.

 

[smokes lets go]

Windhurst saying we're trying to bend Miami to give us Herro in a Lowry deal? That would be highway robery if Masai could pull that off!

 

[leafsleafs]

Does Rondo to the Clippers make the Lakers blink?

Unless someone comes up with a serious offer, we are keeping him. Lowry was fine staying too.

For a second I thought you said he was traded for Paul George.

 

[djdev]

matt thomas to utah for golden states 2nd rnd pick, not bad at all

 

[ryno23]

I play daily DFS and the days when CJ McCollum was out or Lillard Trent's numbers went up. He never really had to shoot the ball with Por as the shots were gobbled up by Lillard, CJ and even Carmelo then throw in Nurkic when he was healthy.

I think Trent will get more chance to show his offensive game

I’m actually fine with it so long as they keep losing.

Those mid season wins, that little run, cost a few draft slots that could matter.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Man I would LOVE Herro. Lets go boys. Thank you Lowry you beautiful bastard thank you for everything especially the Chip, the love, the commitment, but time for you to love on and win another and for us to rebuild even stronger.

 

[shaner8989]

If Herro is on the table and the raps don't take that... Thats disgraceful and f*** management.

 

[Woodman19]

From everything that's been reported he isn't and that's why a trade hasn't happened.

 

[robertmac43]

If we can get Herro I'll be buzzing.

 

[hoc123]

I'm interested to hear, who would be fine with the Heat trade with Duncan+Achiuwa?

 

[xtra]

Hear me out....let’s flip the script and get back Demar and add alrdrige and make a run.....







Honestly though I’d be ok with sending Lowry to The Lakers for near nothing so he gets a chance at a second chip and solidifying his HOF resume

Herro isn’t on the table.

Raps want him on the table.

What are you talking about?

 

[trellaine201]

I’m no nba guru but why not get the best deal u can instead of holding onto someone that appears to be leaving anyways? It’s a business. I don’t understand why sports team let players walk for nothing.

 

[Cor]

Raptors have asked teams for their final offers. A decision is coming.

Could you be any less informed on this subject?
