2018-19 Trade Rumours and Discussion - Deadline February 7th 2019

[Raptor Jesus]

so true... Lowry and Ibaka had great chemistry

The problem with this chemistry is at initiated our offence 4 steps further in than when Kyle played with JV, so he could step into threes instead of just dump off to Ibaka for those elbow jumper. Which he hit at a great rate but didn't give Kyle the same options.

It feels like some of SIs gain was at Lowry's expense.

[A.I]

Kanter and Gortat have been bought out.. Either one would be a huge upgrade over Moose. But both would want playing time which we can't offer.

They could be the backup C.

FVV, Powell, OG, Ibaka/Siakam, Gortat/Kanter

[The Claw Reborn]

For a contending team to rely on Boucher as a third big is not a good idea

Some giant assured Masai he is signing for the prorated salary to be the third big

I went to work one day and when I came home, JV was no longer a Raptor.

DAMN.

[planetmars]

Shows you much value jv has on the trade market (not much)

So holding on to him to flip in a rebuild year would have got us really nothing. Hence the all in move with Gasol

Yeah.. that's true. If Gasol opts in, he'd have a much more favourable market than JV+CJ would in theory.

[jacobdr4]

Yeah the Greg deal was for cash.

[The Claw Reborn]

Moose for Cash
Malachi for Cash

To pay the buy outs

[planetmars]

I suspect Shams was too quick with his post, and we must have gotten a 2nd rounder for Moose. NBA.com has this blurb on the trade:

Raptors unload Monroe, per reports
The Toronto Raptors have agreed to trade Greg Monroe to the Brooklyn Nets for a second-round pick, according to a report from Shams Charania of The Athletic. The 28-year-old center is averaging career-lows for minutes, points, rebounds and assists during limited run with the Raptors this season. Prior to dealing Monroe, the Raptors reportedly agreed to acquire former All-Star center Marc Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies.

Hahaha you have to work

We are all on a Paid Time Off compliments of Masai.org

[G__Deane]

you gotta think gasol and Conley are getting moved.. Memphis can't keep them around if they want a serious rebuild. might end up getting penny's on the dollar for them. should a have moved them last season

Then look what happened. I think Masai paniced and brke the piggy bank instead

[The Claw Reborn]

Ben Mclemore anyone?

He is being released too

[MixxAOR]

never thought i would agree with Paul Pierce. Ugh

[inthepaint]

Yeah.. that's true. If Gasol opts in, he'd have a much more favourable market than JV+CJ would in theory.

You mean 2016 Gasol or 2020 Gasol? There's a difference, and it ain't small.

That blurb is misquoting Shams lol. We are sending the pick. It's a money move.
