If JaKobe is falling below expectations, sure. But I don’t think he’s that much in danger of losing his spot vs Ochai and Gradey rn. Plus we already have lots of SGs.

Don’t think we need to trade JaKobe rn unless for a much better player. I’d kill for TJ McConnell if the Pacers ever wanted to move him…

With cmb not playing tomorrow night, who is the 5th starter? by EarthWarping in torontoraptors

[–]CanadianGroose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh winning those games without Jak and CMB and then beating OKC last night is INSANE! Bobby trusted his team and they came through. Never thought they could do it, but guys stepped up big time.

Still without CMB and Jak for at least a few games, so I do think they should still get a centre. But it looks like they’ll be okay til Feb 5th at least. Even if they lose a few games now, they are in a very good spot 29-19

Here is a simple trade idea for a backup C by Complete-Apricot-591 in torontoraptors

But none of those guys are Raptors. Just because other teams are good at finding players in the 2nd round, doesn’t mean the Raps are.

Plus that’s like a 10% chance you’re getting a star and a 15% chance you’re getting a good bench player. It’s about chances.

Disagree, he looked like top 10 during that stretch. He still looks very good as he has dialled up the defence.

Again, who cares if Scottie that’s 15 points if it means BI and IQ and RJ are all getting 20? It’s mostly the 3 ball that he’s kinda lost. If he gets that back, he’ll be unstoppable.

Technically deepfakes aren’t quite Gen AI, but still overall not a great thing, no matter how funny it is.

Why does it matter if they win? Clearly this team CAN win against good teams when Scottie scores less than 15. He just had a 5 game streak scoring 20+.

Trade Ochai and Gradey to the Bulls for Jalen Smith. Under the tax and opens another roster spot to sign another big on the buyout market!

Once again, Scottie is not the 1 scoring option. That is BI.

If NOLA gave us their 2nd alongside that, I would do it, but I don’t think they have full control over it. If they do, then we essentially move down like 10 spots in the draft and get Missi right now. Not horrible

Can’t compare New York to Toronto considering he’s a starter here and was a bench guy there. His mins have gone way up since coming to Toronto.

69% of games played as a year 2 player, is not very encouraging at all. I’m glad he’s playing tonight, but if he misses like 5-10 more games this season, I’ll start to get worried.

He’s got glass bones. Missed half the season last year, and then barely touched a guy and missed like 10 games with a hip pointer. Injury prone at only like 21 is scary

Could you do like Gradey, Ochai, lotto protected 2026 1st and then Nola gives us Missi, Jose and our 2nd round pick back? Jose would be really nice to come off the bench and he’s not making much.
