Top 5 and we on the run - Official Offseason Raptors 2021 Season Thread

[Tom Foolery]

It's a weak draft outside of the top 4. So I can understand how Barnes can separate himself from the rest with a little bit of effort.

But like someone said in another thread, how can people be high on Barnes but not Franz Wagner.

And lowry ain't kobe where you give that legacy contract just because. I have a coworker at work who loves lowry and wants him back at any cost

same type of fans who were pissed when the jays management didnt give up a washed jose bautista all that money he wanted

 

[MikelArteta]

The Golden State Warriors are trying to move up in the draft with Jalen Suggs at their target. Suggs has been most strongly linked with the Toronto Raptors at No. 4 as a clear top-3 has formed in Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley and Jalen Green.

The Warriors could use a package of James Wiseman and the No. 7 pick to move up for Suggs.



i dont even like this
i hope the raptors just stand pat

Wiseman is ass

stand Pat and have a guard for the next 15 years

 

[MikelArteta]

The only thing I'd be ok with is if okc offers shai gilgeous for our 4th pick. I'd do that in a heartbeat.

 

[Auger]

Why does everyone think they can get one over Toronto?

With the Simmons offer, to people thinking the pick can be easily had, to people thinking we're after Barnes

 

[Miggs]

i dont see it with barnes and anyways barnes is a sf why would you draft him
barnes is getting that jonathan isaac type of love and what has isaac done in the league?

Barnes is nothing more than measurables and you dont draft a mufukka a 4 based on that alone...Hes nothing more than Kenneth Faried,hes althletic and long but he cant score outside of transition how does that help the team win now ???

Suggs is a much better player....Only way you dont take Suggs is if Mobley is there or you trade up to 3 or you trade the 4 in a deal for a player like SGA...

Outside of those long shots Suggs should be the pick....

If GS and OKC want the #4 cuz they want Suggs make them fukkn pay for it...these deals i see are ASSCHEEKS for us and no risk for either of them..

Wiseman and #7 for Suggs is no risk for GS at all...Wiseman wouldnt be a top7 in this draft and whoever we pick at 7 isnt in the same league as Suggs..

Id flat out tell the Warriors to suck my dikk with that Wiseman deal....

The raptors never leak anything. I'm sure this is just the Sixers and agents leaking fake news to link their guys to the Raps

 

[Miggs]

imagine getting gifted a #4 pick in a top 4 heavy only to take Scottie fukkn Barnes......the verbal outcry on Raptors twitter is gonna be incredulous.

They have made drafting mistakes related to measurables before....they took Poeltl over Sabonis because of his length and reach.....

 

[MikelArteta]

@Miggs would you take simmonds for siakam and a future first?

 

[MikelArteta]

michael grange dont know if he has any sources said the raptors have zeroed in on suggs
pretty much a foregone conclusion

 

[Miggs]

Nope they have to throw in the 1st Simmons had a shyt playoff Morey doesn't have the leverage here.....I would do straight 1 for 1 I would hang up on anything else......we don't need Simmons theybneed to get rid of him tho.
