Reports say this was the Raptors package:
Trent Jr, Dick, Precious, cash and draft picks.
Now you have to ask yourself, is that enough for Portland?
Masai really was trying to go for a heist here.
Lillard OG Barnes Siakam Jakob
Would've been an interesting starting 5.

If you guys ever watched The Starters when they were on NBA TV, or their family of podcasts post the NBA TV gig.
Wishing for speedy recovery. These guys are one of the best out there for podcasts.

It's funny here how you see the story has changed. Dame DID want to go to Brooklyn or Milwaukee.
Then you see the piece on Toronto. Let's not kid ourselves, the man DID not want to go there and had ZERO interest to.
This should be a lesson to teams trying to trade for star players, if they don't want to come to your team, don't bother.

Lillard OG Barnes Siakam Jakob Would've been an interesting starting 5. Barnes, OG, and Siakam isn’t going to work in a starting lineup, IMO. They really need to move on from at least one of them, and it won’t be Barnes. They should have offered OG (plus others) for Lillard.

So possibly expect Jrue to land somewhere else Boston was a rumored spot I am guessing 76ers will call to see if they can get him included in a 3 team trade. Harden can get to the Clips, Jrue to Philly and pieces back to Portland Begging for this Harden cannot play a game in Philly when he's still out here with "DARYL MOREY IS A LIAR" signs in his damn clubs.

I haven't noticed John Wall in a minute. He has an entire head tattooed on his neck?

Shit, Yao is a HOFer sign him too. Everyone knows Cousins injuries took a toll on his ability. Wall still thinks he's the focus of the offense sometimes despite him absolutely not being that guy post-Achillies. And Dwight could contribute as a bench big, but he has the same issue as Whiteside. He can board, he can putback, but he can't switch on uber-athletic 4s and 3s who are ten years younger than him. Look at Al Horford. He's still relevant in the league (though winding down) because he was able to defend the post and defend in space. Dwight can't. Imagine him getting switched on Banchero on clearout iso near the 3 point line. Can he stay in front of him? No. Can he close out on a 3 pt attempt? No. He'll either give up an easy bucket, a wide open 3 look, or grab him and walk back to the bench. Imagine him switching on a good stretch like Lauri Markkanen or Bojan Bogdanovic. They'll go 9/16 from three that night and you'll wonder why you even signed Dwight.

He can only score in 10 min intervals and can’t defend. Wall has not been the same guy but tho is he is which is why Clips traded him. Dwight is a HOF player but he’s older and flawed. Even Jabari himself got a shit Ton of chances. Y’all not them young guys worth gambling on anymore. Y’all made your money, was all stars but the time is over. Ask Melo bout how a HOF player can just be done without question because they refused to change

Hey Jabari, congrats on picking dudes that have history of not being great teammates. One of the best qualities of being a good bench player is zero drama and being an excellent team mate. It's not worth bringing in a dude to play 4 minutes a game if he's a pain in the ass and pisses off your starters. Be a great teammate and enjoy an extra 5+ years on your career as a bench dude making cash money.

Multiple executives around the league apparently think that Jerami Grant and his new nightmare contract are going to be on the trade market in January. I can't f***ing wait to see how that goes.

He stuck around forever, played his part, checked the ego at the door. Shoot some 3s, play some defense, don't turn the ball over. Play like Shane Battier and stick around. Wall turns it over too much for a guy who doesn't contribute a whole lot. Wall averaged 2.4 turnovers a game on 40/30/68 shooting splits as a guy who doesn't have the attitude or the athleticism to play above average defense.

Also with everyone being in on Jrue, if I’m Knicks I throw my hat in on him
Offer up RJ and Fournier expiring contract. I’d probably throw IQ in there too

I mean Nick Nurse is going to run Maxey and whoever plays beside him into the ground this year
