Well I hope the Warriors keep their pick because i'm sure they're going to go after someone who can help them win now. I don't see them drafting a project like Keon or Barnes. They're a team that is in a win now mode so Mitchell makes a lot of sense and he's a guard so he's a perfect fit for them too.Mamba Mentality

Keon huh? Not my first choice but he'd definitely bring a different dynamic to our guard position. A much more athletic player than what we are use to at that spot.

Yeah, I really like Keon. Seems like a lot of mocks have us picking him. Love his D, love his upside potential. Seems like a quality individual and a gym rat. I like Keon, Barnes and Mitchell. I'm less familiar with Kuminga, but if he somehow slid to us, seems like a good likelihood we'd pick him.

I'm sort of wondering how quickly Masai is going to try and get the Raps back to contention. In the back of my mind I keep thinking trading the pick as part of a package for an established star is option 1. If that doesn't work then do they go for a player that's ready to contribute now or pick with an eye towards the future?

I don't see any chance of that being a good idea because there isn't a star that is worth trading for in my opinion that would put us over the top. Remember we would have to be better than the nets. What single star added to those core or this core minus lets say... Fred could put us over the top and is available. I would argue that KAT is the only one that may be available and I think that comes with its fair share of problems because he cant defend although offensively he is insane.

As far as guys which might be available that would improve our team, Boston may look to shake things up after their reorg. Tatum isn't going anywhere but Brown might become available for the right package. Russ is another guy who might be available. Say what you want about him but the man competes hard every minute just like Lowry. Raps love to get out and run, and that's pretty much what Russ does. We'll see what happens in Portland if they get bounced in the first round again. Dame may want out.

Lavine is expiring, so he could be available, and he fits that 4th quarter shot creator role we desperately need to win those close games. Build a package around FVV & picks and re-sign Lowry.
Also we just did the whole Kawhi thing. If you are trading for anyone you are trading for someone who is willing to resign or at the very least someone who would be on a multi year deal. Beal is another guy but again I don't think he moves out of Washington and I don't think you get him without tossing siakam.
Remember for any of these deals you need to include what players are outgoing. It isn't like we are adding these guys without giving salary and guys up. UNLESS there was a lowry trade exception to help us absorb.. but again no thanks.Last edited by TrueTorontoFan; Wed Jun 2, 2021, 11:29 PM.

Well, if you think the pick is going to get you a player that is going to put you over the top then obviously you don't trade it. Not sure if anyone in the top 4 does that much less someone in the 5-8 range.

Brown is interesting but again I don't think he really changes the math for us. We need a guy that is Tatum level or has that potential. That is why I keep saying we are drafting someone this year. If you get the number 1 - 4 pick I wouldn't trade any of those guys because they are potentially franchise-changing. Again Russ on his own is not changing things for you... and his tenacity can also lose you games. He is fun to watch but no thank you.

We need a ayton/gobert type. Watching Utah they remind me of Toronto but with an anchor. I think utah shoots the most threes but they’re also one of the top rebounding teams. Thats a good mix. Birch has been solid and I know theres no ayton/gobert types just floating around but ya an anchor at C and a wing that can slash and create his shot and we’re off to the races. I hope we can parlay fred into turner type move and keep our pick for a dynamic wing
