Not sure why but I'm warming up to some sort of a Gobert/OG trade. Each team is trading from their strength (or a distressed asset for the former). I was worried about the contract but something Will Lou mentioned on his show the other day is that there is likely a big jump in the cap in a few years with the new tv deal. We can probably fit everyone in with maybe one year in the luxury tax. Scottie can throw passes over everybody. Gobert can catch passes over everybody. Done. . Still makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

That's supposed to be the priority, even over a star big.Last edited by Kagemusha; Thu Jun 30, 2022, 02:26 PM.

Scottie, Pascal, Gobert, Precious or Fred.
or a Marcus Smart.
A legit 3D guy that can stick to his man like glue and limit his production.
That can't be Scottie or Pascal coz you're tiring them out.Last edited by Kagemusha; Thu Jun 30, 2022, 02:31 PM.

you are so gullible…
Where the post did it say that VanVleet is trash? Grindhouse said he is overrated.
you are the only saying trash to players like Trent and rest of the Warriors not named Steph and Wiggins
If Utah thinks that VanVleet is the next Stockton, they will trade Gobert in a heartbeat. Our opinions does not mean shit to Masai or Utah.
Oh well....Mamba Mentality

Why would Masai gut the core for a star centre while he escaped like a bandit when he took Kawhi (top 5 player) for a whole lot less than what the Jazz want for Gobert?! If the price is steep for Gobert than you hang up the phone.
It's the Jazz that are in stressed to trade Gobert not the Raptors.Mamba Mentality

this would result to VanVleet jacking up shots after shots until he reaches a point that either he win us the game or loses us the game TOTALLY dependent on his accuracy. We live and die of his shots….
In short….back to the #igot us ERA
that’s the fear of losing Trent and OG
interesting how this would pan out…
or Masai may just stay put and improve the team by using the MLE and BAELast edited by The Claw Reborn; Thu Jun 30, 2022, 02:41 PM.

MLE? team option on the second year? Or Boucher/ Thad in a S/T (longer term than just 2 years) as the Heat would need another forward with PJ Tucker possibly leaving. If a S/T, Raps would still have the MLE.
he will be a legit scoring punch off the bench who can do a dual role in the backcourt, when healthy, he can make a difference.
to add: VanVleet if staying would have a more manageable workload and not again lead the league in minutes played with Dipo around

The risks with a Gobert trade are very real. At that salary and with his offensive limitations (which are oversold at times but still very real), you have to be making a bet that the defence you can put on the floor will be historic. You don't make that bet by trading OG.
You pour everything else you have into the deal to keep your core of win-now players (Fred, Pascal, OG) and Scottie. Ideally you keep Precious for a different look off the bench, but you don't let him be the piece to stop a deal.
Let me try to see how a deal could work.
