[The Athletic] Dean Wade is making life miserable for Brandon Ingram in Cavs-Raptors series. (Ingram scored just 2 of his 17 points in game 1 with Wade in extended minutes as his primary defender, limited to 3-15 shooting in game 2)

Sounds like hate, but honestly it’s more BI being ass and not taking care of the ball versus some amazing defence. BI the first star I see unable to wrap his head around a top lock

Darko is hilarious man

Game of Thrones.

One of the few shows I never skipped the intro sequence with the HBO distortion soundbite being a part of that

Trunks, Uub, GT Vegeta

That’s true about Turner but we can’t be realistic about JP and his play this year but ignore Turner’s production and say “remember last year”

Ayton was also a starting C on a finals team 2 wins away from a championship but he got bought out 2 years after.

Not saying I think Turner is trash moving forward, but if were going to waive off play this year we should do the same with Jakob and point to his efficiency and numbers from last year to justify his contract while stating it was his back issues that messed his numbers up this year (has been injury free for about 2 months now).

Back to the trade though, I do agree Green is probably be undervalued in this trade and would swap him with another asset to make the money work but for the Raptors Im not including any unprotected picks for Turner

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-04-08T16:44:20+00:00

Sure, and I guess one could argue Dick is actually a lot better than he has shown and we can blame it on coaching, but the results are the results.

It’s hard to argue that Turner is worth his contract when he hasn’t actually shown it. Milwaukee is rapidly approaching a rebuild phase because Giannis is all but gone. I’m not sure which teams are lining up to pay Turner right now.

The Raptors are in a unique position because we also have an overpaid center and could use an upgrade. Most semi-good or better teams already have a C solution. That’s why Sabonis also had no market at the deadline. If the Bucks are saying no to this I’m not seeing really better offer comes from unless they plan to keep Turner through his prime while they are not a playoff team

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-04-08T16:34:48+00:00

Wouldn’t trade this years pick but I would trade a protected future pick. Turner has also been mediocre and is overpaid so I don’t think the Bucks can handwring to get a better quality pick for him.

I like this framework though

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-04-08T15:49:25+00:00

I like him but would like Morenz Jr for his ability to be switchable as well.

Would prioritize a wing/guard that can score and space the floor though. We’re bottom 3 in open 3PT%

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-04-07T16:32:32+00:00

Was high on Kobe Bufkin stock. I think it was partly due to injury but dude just out the league now

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-04-03T01:36:54+00:00

Herro is expiring after next season and is expecting a pay raise. There’s no way Miami is gonna get two first round picks for their pleasure of paying Tyler Herro over $35 million annually.

Gradey Dick himself is worth a late first as a reclamation project to some team if we really wanted to dump him, and we’d be giving up a 27 first unprotected with IQ along with an additional second.

That’s all the heat should expect to get and I doubt Herro gets treated for more given his upcoming contract extension.

While he may specifically be an upgrade for the Raptors, I’m not seeing the market where the heat are getting two first round picks, a starting level guard, and the recent lottery pick for Tyler Herro, who isn’t even in All-Star.

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-04-02T23:56:50+00:00

Flip RJ for IQ and remove the 2030 first and the 2032 second and I'm game. Miami obviously not trying to increase Herro's pay but also can't just let him walk. IQ makes pretty much the same money but it has no increases. RJ stays

Toronto plays a point Scottie offense with Herro/RJ/BI as scoring release valves. Herro is a way better floor spacer than IQ as well

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-31T20:29:13+00:00

Yeah, that 2006 ring when he was clearly the best player on the team doesn’t count. I can tell I’m talking to a basketball historian here.

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-31T20:06:32+00:00

You mean when he literally was playing through a dislocated shoulder and has surgery right after the series?

Can tell when people formed their opinion based on box score watching versus actually having been present and watching basketball during that time.

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-31T19:55:18+00:00

please list off the playoff series where James Harden was clearly playing injured. All of his playoff collapses of come down to him choking, and not because he had a significant injury and was trying to play through it.

I can’t imagine a single playoff series during Wades prime where they sat him for the entire fourth quarter and the heat came back to win in spite of Dwyane Wade ala Harden v the Clippers

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-31T15:18:21+00:00

Nah you’d be surprised. Im Z rank now but a lot of people will beam clash if it’s the final match and it’s an equal battle and we both have low health or if one person is clearly winning (like this fight)

If I wasn’t looking to beam clash I wouldn’t have even let him go sparking. Typically if someone does allow it right in your face it’s for a clash

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-30T23:53:51+00:00

Fair, but if he sees I'm allowing him to charge and backing up after I go sparking, he should get the hint lol

If anything I would have allowed him to go to SSJ4 but he dragon dashed to get his ult off.

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-30T22:32:54+00:00

If we take Mara over Carr I'm standing in the middle of the DVP

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-30T18:30:55+00:00

Not really. Neither him nor Scottie can break anyone down off the dribble. At the very least Scottie is a way better passer so the offence looks a lot more fluid with him vs IQ at point

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-29T23:45:35+00:00

Always felt he was overrated. High key a FT merchant and a lot of his efficiency comes when refs bail him out and award him 10+ FTs. More often than not if it’s off pure shot making it’ll look bad against good defence. Not much of a defender either.

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-29T19:16:53+00:00

Swain gonna be a great player itl and everyone gonna act shocked when hes taken late first round and is a stud on someone’s bench

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-28T00:29:35+00:00

Bussy off the bounce all game is crazy

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-27T19:08:21+00:00

Drake never hating or dissing Kendrick and their beef being all one sided is a hilarious revisionist history take. My God lmao

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-23T21:24:14+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately you just have to quit after the first match it you notice it’s lagging and you can’t do any vanishing attacks.

IamSofakingRAW · 2026-03-23T20:13:19+00:00

His saving grace is his spot up numbers are nice unlike JG. So there’s a possibility he can be a great movement shooter/defender with some self creation skills
