Would you trade Wall for Lowry .

[guyroch]

It seems Wizard's and Wall are headed for a divorce but Wall's contract maybe hard to move . Lowry has just two years remaining on his contract and one year from being an expiring contract . Lowry and Powel for Wall ?

[Barolt]

No.

Because it starts with talking about problems, problems you have and problems you don't.

Point guard and center aren't problems the Raptors have.

[Shaolin Fantastic]

Waste of time. Not a superstar. Doesn't get us over the hump.

Tank.

I couldn't agree with this more.

I'm intrigued. 1) because Wall is younger. 2) because of Wall's ability to push the ball (that's his default setting, really). Wall running with the 2nd unit could be a thing of beauty.

Concerns are his durability, and taking defensive possessions off.

I'd be concerned how he meshes with DeMar's game. Beal should have been a great fit and it hasn't worked out.

To answer the question, yes I would maybe (LOL) trade Wall for Lowry. I don't love his personality, but from a purely talent standpoint he is a mismatch for the vast majority of the league and would make for a better talent to build this team around than anyone we currently have. The reality of whether he can ever focus on just basketball and be motivated is the only thing that would hold me back.

I should've clarified, that I was speaking under the assumption that DeRozan's already traded, lol. Maybe for Wiggins

If Wall were to ever mature in this regard, Toronto is one of the few places equipped to bring it out of him.

Also I think Wall and Cassey have Kentucky roots ... Hey maybe Cousins may want to join the fun .

What would be really interesting is something like DeMar for Wall. Or DeMar for Porter+. Lowry for Wall doesn't help us get better or worse or cheaper or more flexible or anything.

It's hard to think that a guy who just averaged 26-11-6 against us in the post season couldn't improve this team. We've got a pretty good system that for the most part has gotten players to improve their game. He's the better talent by a lot in my opinion.

Come to think of it, a system that favours 3pt shots may not be the best fit for Wall (a career 32.7% shooter from deep).

Wall's contract.

2018-19: $19,169,800 (28 years)
2019-20: $37,800,000
2020-21: $40,824,000
2021-22: $43,848,000
2022-23: $46,872,000 (32 years)

That's a lot. And he seems to be a lockerroom cancer.

The Wizard's locker room felt like it was in shambles. But not sure if that's because of Wall, specifically. Morris and Gortat likely had a lot to do with it.
