I think we've shown the league, if given the chance we can build a championship team.

Even though Kawhi was firmly set on going to LA, He forced them to bring in another star. I take that as almost a compliment that he knew they were not as good as the Raptors.

First thing that should be done is put Lowry and Gasol on the trading block, maybe we get something of value for them. Wouldn't mind seeing McCaw come back at the right price.

Nope
If cap space is what we want trading these guys for dudes with term would be horrible

Some of this stuff come out about him and his team is not flattering,im sure Masai will enjoy next season more tbh...

The part about his camp asking Masai to break this team up to trade for Beal/PG without a guarantee it would produce a re-signing...

He really wanted to break up a championship team as leverage to leave :what:

After all we did for him this season....Siakam should be the most offended by this shyt...they wanted Beal over Siakam as a running mate ? :hhh:
Siakam’s final form is going to be amazing to watch in a few years. Better lock him up on a 20-25 mil per year contract from now!

Gasol and Lowry aint going anywhere...theres no market for them at least until the deadline when maybe someone gets desperate to add experience...Dont be surprised if we keep this team in tact and add maybe a Justin Holiday or RHJ....

Nah there is a market but would you take back guys who have 2-3 years left on their contract

Like If Houston wants out of capela I’d trade serge for him capela is young and a capela Siakam frontcourt could be good for the next ten years


These are the type of trades I wouldn’t mind

Best case is we keep the team intact this season, in addition to another key SG.

Then after this seasons over, we have those bad contracts of Ibaka/Gasol/Lowry off the books, with a lot of cap space to use.

With the influx of more Canadian players in the NBA draft, I hope we target more of them so they'd actually WANT to stay.

Theres no market cuz the teams that need them dont have picks to send and cant match salary..If anything Gasol will be moved at the deadline if were a .500 team i can see Lowry likely not moved...

IF you can lock him up now under the max you do it cuz next year he'll get a max for sure...
