I'm still hoping Dell hates AD and the Lakers/lebron tampering enough to send him anywhere but there, regardless of the pkg they offer ....

As for this whole debacle, and how it pertains to the Raptors.
Anthony Davis is a good player, but he isn't better or more valuable then 4-5 core players from any team. I thought more about it, and Davis isn't even all that much better than Siakam, Siakam is just skimming the surface of what he might be.
For a rental, no fucking way I want that guy, not if it means losing Toronto's best up and coming player, the second best in OG, our PG depth while our main guys is shitting the bed, and our back up center depth. Thats fucking insane actually.
The Matthews signing is what Toronto needs, they were already, until recently, the best in the East as is. Gutting the team for Davis..... creates the Pelicans of the North.
Toronto needs ot look elsewhere...i.e. find a way to scoop someone nobody thought of while nobody is looking....

I don't buy that New Orleans would say no to offers for Jrue. He would help erase a lot of problems in the short and long term that I would be surprised if Masai and Bobby haven't inquired. Imagine a Lowry-Jrue-Green-Kawhi-Siakam closing line-up. That's pretty legit.

Im in agreement now after thinking about it for awhile too. Pascal got outplayed but he was into Davis’ grill pretty good maybe it was a preseason or first game reg ssn. I know Davis got 20 boards that one game but ya Pascal is just getting started. Hes a super good guy who might stick around instead of be drawn to bright lights. I have a feeling MU feels the same way and didnt include him.
Some minor tweeks including a shooter and if Lowry and the rest get in sync Im confident playing anyone no matter where Davis ends up. If he was open to an extension itd be a different story. Lock him and Kawhi up and we’d have time to get it all together for awhile.
But ya not worth a whole team

Then, if it doesn't work out, Masai would have two pieces he can deal next February for any two teams looking to add a major piece. That could be a lot of picks, young prospects or allstars from teams looking to upgrade for a finals run.

They are going to get a plethora f decent players and prospects, they think they will be instantly relevant. And they are right.
I'm thinking that Toronto could potentially keep OG +Siakam (more realistically OG will be in any deal but hey, it's Masai) and more importantly, give the Pelican a whole ton of 1 or 2 year contracts they can easily dump. We're going to realistically think about replacing Lowry at some point and if we can snatch Holiday up, that makes life a lot easier down the line.

I am surprised that the Memphis players Gasol & Conley have not been mentioned here. I caught a segment of NBAtv yesterday where one of the pundits mentioned Toronto showing interest in Gasol (always been a personal favourite)..

Gasol is 34 now and has been really injury prone. Took a quick look on HoopsHype and just over the past 3 months: he hurt his back (to the point of actually limiting mobility), lost feeling in his shooting hand, hurt his ankle (beyond a common sprain), and also had a neck/shoulder injury. If you look beyond the 3 months, there's another back injury, separate from the most recent one.
I don't think Memphis ever played Gasol against his will, but like, they had these two guys for 10yrs playing a ground-and-pound grinding style of ball, always refusing to listen to trade offers for them, and now that they're old and banged up they finally wanna move them? I'd say no, thanks.
