Not sure if I am creating something in my fixated mind but..... here goes....
There are a lot of close relationships between the Raptors, Bucks, and Kings.
Raptors:
- New assistant GM is currently with Bucks
- New Sacramento GM is was with with Nuggets/Ujiri
- jammed on wings with overpaid and/or overlapping talent.
Bucks:
- current assistant GM about to join Raps
- Ellis is an UFA and new SAC ownership used to be part owner of W's and big Monta fan
- starting and backup SG (Ellis/Redick) likely to bolt via UFA
- Jennings and DD history
Kings:
- new GM was assistant to Ujiri
- new coach was assistant in GS when Ellis played, good relationship
- new ownership a fan of Ellis from minority ownership in GS days
- cap space to sign Ellis
There just seems, IN MY OPINION, to be too many relationships and too many assets that could benefit each team.
Assets Raptors could conceivably have interest in from:
- Bucks:
a) #15/#43
b) Dunleavy via S&T
c) Ilyasova
- Kings:
a) Thompson
b) Freddette
c) #7/#36
d) Patterson
e) Thornton
Assets Bucks and Kings might have interest in from Toronto:
a) DeRozan
b) willingness to take a bad contract? (Salmons, Hayes, Mbah a Moute, Gooden)
c) Gray (both need legit backup C)
