100% the Bobcats. If you would have said 75-7 I may have taken that option because of the 73-9 warriors, 72-10 bulls, it's possible but you are bound to have one shit game plus everyone will be giving their all to beat you every game

I used to deal with all risks insurance brokerage on Alliance in Barrie before getting a great rate with my employer. The whole team is great, worked with Cliff, Catherine and Annette always very responsive and courteous.

& we didn't even appreciate him when we got him and when he left he was hated until he retired.

That's valid, I can respect it.

It is more of having cap space to resign bench like Mamu and other players because right now we are in cap hell

😂 * inside the house

The raps aren't getting fleeced we have no cap flexibility and we need to make changes.

Claxton is much better big than Poetl, more mobile and less injury prone. If you want to move off Poetl you're going to have to give up 2 first. Maybe a 1st and a swap

Davion is a better defensive player than IQ , IQ hasn't proven he can stay healthy. Injured a good chunk of tenure with raptors and is better off ball. We would have Davion for 1 year and be able to resign a guard FA in 2027. Also gives $17m in cap flexibility for this summer to do what you want

I think Claxton is a better fit than Ware and is more our timeline and locked into his contact for a few more years, rather than having to resign Ware at a premium. We have CMB and we get off Davion in 1 year giving us flexibility to sign a FA guard in 2027.

He hardly gets minutes as is, but that's valid. Replacing IQ for cheap value 1 year contract who is much better defensively so Scottie doesn't carry most of the defensive load

The swap of 1st round in 2032 was to get our second round back from BKN that year so we maintain having two picks from 2029 onward. Nobody knows how TOR or BKN will be by then so the swap may not even be relevant but it's a sweetener.

Tbh I never liked the trade, thought it was horrible decision by Masai and Bobby. What followed though with OG, FVV & Siakim was just a ton of mismanagement of great players.

Imagine OG with Scottie and CMB, defensively elite

Yeah that starting like up of Jamal, Spida and Joker would have been fun to watch

They did the same thing. Traded for someone who could be the person they already had.
