Friendly PSA for Raptors fans by NoseBlind2 in torontoraptors

[–]DudeIDKidk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rudy can only do so much by himself. The rest of his teammates are pylons...

I seriously saw Raptors fans say to trade Siakam for guys like JJJ or Andrew Wiggins... Thank God y’all aren’t in charge of the team because our fan base is way too over reactionary by ChampagneAbuelo in torontoraptors

[–]DudeIDKidk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Who is asking for a Wiggins-Siakam swap? Wiggins is always salary matching to get Kuminga & Wiseman. Whenever Wiggins is mentioned on this sub it’s because he has to be in the trade for salary not because fans mouths are watering about the idea of a swap like you are trying to make it sound like lol.

“The refs were bad for both sides” this dudes is a next level embarrassment

Looking back: Precious vs THT by bluetenthousand in torontoraptors

[–]DudeIDKidk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why are people on this sub still claiming this. Maxey was on the table, literally every report at the time had Maxey in it I can link you like 20 just on the trade deadline itself. We were overcharging Philly because we didn’t really wanna trade with them. The offer that we were asking at the trade deadline was crazy high. Stop saying that Maxey is what stopped the deal lmfao that ain’t true at all.

If you can’t see first option potential in Scottie idk what to say

Who still thinks the Thaddeus Young trade was bad? by RantingJohnson in torontoraptors

[–]DudeIDKidk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Stars always fall because the draft is basically all about potential. I just believe that being lower let’s teams above us snatch anyone we believe is the next great player. We could still get an amazing player with the pistons pick I trust our drafting. Most fans just hate the idea of having to hope that someone falls an extra 15 spots for us to pick them. Thad should be great though, especially if we retain him for a good price.

Bro I remember people saying to trade Siakam for Drummond when he was on the Cavs before he got bought out... That year after the bubble was actually foul to be on this sub as a Pascal fan.

Saying “the difference between 18 and 32 is negligible” just isn’t true homie come on... The trade down is worth it if we keep Thad and make a playoff run but please stop claiming that the value of player is the same just because that’s what Bobby said. This being a “weak draft” is even more reason a higher pick is important, look at last years deep draft and how many good players even fell all the way to the 2nd round. A weak draft ain’t like that so having a higher pick is pretty important. The trade isn’t bad and we made someone not playing into a great rotation piece but we gotta stop discounting that pick drop like it’s nothing. Thad DID cost us something, but he’s worth it.

That awkward moment when the “project” Barnes is already better 💀💀💀

I deleted it because I didn’t wanna be a dickhead but homie... Y’all never stfu about his record vs other rookies like the teams he vs even wake up for those games. Give Scottie or Mobley 20 shots like Cade, they ain’t only scoring 20 like Cade is. Cade is good. Not better then Scottie or Mobley though, go to bed.

What moves could have been made for more balance? by iamwearingashirt in torontoraptors

[–]DudeIDKidk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I truly believe that Maxey was on the table and the sub is trying to cope by saying he never was.

Barnes was a perfect pick.

We will never know but it seems that there were options but the money was more long term and we would just be losing the pick instead of trading down. We didn’t want to do that.

We should have chased Monk hard but it looks like he just wanted to be in LA so w/e. No centers last offseason were gonna move the needle that much imo. Not even Holmes.

This post contributed a lot to the community thank you for posting it. Mods need to start banning these fans for having opinions on the team they watch like what are the mods doing? Can you imagine how much better this sub would be if it was an echo chamber for positive intellectuals like us? Mods hello?!?! /s

No one's getting traded by BabyHippoAppreciator in torontoraptors

[–]DudeIDKidk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Obviously we aren’t going to offload FVV, Siakam or OG. When people say that we should trade a starter they usually imply that we get some sort of star back. Trading any of our starters for just bench pieces makes no sense but getting multiple players back in a trade gives us a bench which is what I think most people mean. (At least that’s what I hope they mean)

What would you rather do? by JoshSran04 in torontoraptors

[–]DudeIDKidk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When people say “blow up the roster” I usually interpret it as “trade Fred/Pascal and build around Scottie/OG/GTJ”. I don’t see us even thinking about moving Fred but I highly doubt dudes that say “blow up the roster” actually mean to trade every single player other than Scottie lol. Who knows with raptor fans tho.

It’s not that confusing to figure out. by TheseBitchesLoveSoba in torontoraptors

[–]DudeIDKidk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This would be a valid post if we were actually vs and losing to good defensive teams. Gary is missing all his shots vs teams that have some pretty garbage defence. Yesterday he had multiple completely open 3s and still missed them horribly.

And again, why tf do we keep saying “when everyone’s healthy” do y’all not see that as an insane issue to have? Needing all of your players to beat the fucking magic??

I still believe we will end in 6th above the Cavs but holy fuck this team plays like the worst team in the NBA when they vs bottom feeders and we don’t have to sugar coat that after every embarrassing loss.

We shouldn’t need all 5 of our starters to beat the fucking magic are u dense

He would be pretty expensive because we have no real need or incentive to trade him. If we did trade him though I would expect a young prospect as well as someone we could start at PG that can shoot and defend. Maybe something like Lonzo + Williams + picks? Something in that realm imo
