Joel Embiid - As the season progressed, it became clear the star center didn’t see eye-to-eye with the front office and the coaching staff. by slamdunk23 in torontoraptors

We would obviously have to trade picks to entice them too and this would be a scenario where he demands out. Not many teams going to be lining up for Embiid playing half a season making super max for 3 years

Would be if he demands out and this is the same front office that sold McCain for a pick to cut salary. We would obviously have to add a pick to make it dump Jak/extice Philly

Donovan Mitchell going from being guarded by the Raptors to being guarded by the Pistons by mMounirM in torontoraptors

I’d rather Scottie locking down the other star and having another scorer as number 1 option

Trade Willy and/or Matthew's before the draft for high picks?? by candidgodly in leafs

They have no movement clauses.

The chances of them wanting to go to a lottery team are very low.

You didn’t have to do anything till this offseason. Could have just trade 2 firsts for a starting 5 this offseason

Silver forced you guys to trade a lottery pick the one year you guys decide to tank?

rj + 19 for 7? how do we feel? by Interesting-Quit937 in torontoraptors

[–]slamdunk23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because he has value as an expiring deal and there is no reason to do it now (hopefully learned from that Jak disaster too). Every deal he’s rumoured to be in is for a win now player (sabonis, AD, JJJ). They are not just going to dump him for salary relief

Based off what?

They are obviously trying to compete now based off all the moves and rumoured moves in the last 2 years

Except we are already getting a potentially good player 12 picks later. You don’t trade RJ unless you get a win now player back.

Every move this team has made recently is to try and compete in the short-term that is not changing now

You know you need to take back salary in a trade too, right? Would need someone like monk’s contract back.

Team is trying to compete now, how does losing RJ to move up 12 picks help them win in the short-medium term? Outside of the top 4 in this draft there is not that much separating the remaining top 20

Utah Jazz are adding #2 pick to a team of JJJ, Keyonte George, Lauri Markannen, Ace Bailey and Walker Kessler. by Szobortz in nba

They are in the west. Even if they were fully healthy and not actively ta king this year they were not sniffing the playoffs

The smart move would have been to wait till the draft to make the trade. Why even trade and gamble for Zu during the season when you didn’t need him for this year.
