We aint the mavs we not trading an upcoming superstar for…not trying to say aging star but same concept lol. We like BI and at 27 his prime is just starting. Yall got a pick, and can see y yall wouldnt want to pay him in offseason. Make sense for raptors because our team is better than the record just havent been healthy and if we add another high level prospect we actually have a decent team with tremendous potential

[@cftvdata]

@@terrancedavis4851 for real. I think you can frame this as a win for NOL, albeit nowhere near the return they could have gotten a year or two ago. A pick for a guy you weren't going to pay isn't terrible, and if they can get something for Bruce/Kelly, even better.

[@terrancedavis4851]

@@cftvdata id agree, at first glance the deal may look a little underwhelming, we experienced similar situation with not wanting to pay pascal the max and wasnt too thrilled with the initial return. Now the deal does look better for us overall and am pretty happy overall. Not sure what yall gonna do with bruce as the deadline is fast approaching but if yall can get something for kelly might not be so bad. Not gonna lie tho the pick might be the only thing of real value here. BI was already expiring and cant see kelly getting much in the trade market. He would be a great vet and offensively is a stretch big who also is a very smart playmaker. Lmao i was trying to talk myself into thinking its a win-win but in reality we got the best player in the deal without giving much. The win maybe in that yall can just rebuild unless yall still trying make it work with the zion experiment

Thats how I feel too as a raps fan. As Long as its not 45+ its a great buy low deal

[@og3945]

Dude your take on the raps is way smarter than Josh Lewenboooger. Who is clueless. You should have his job

[@conwayGAMES]

if ingram stays healthy and jakob poeltl continues to improve… this team should be very good. Quickley, Barnes, RJ, Ingram, Poeltl… with Gradey, Ochai, Boucher, Ja’Kobe, Jamal Shead, (hopefully high draft pick this year)… solid solid solid team. if these guys take the jumps in their games then this will be a competitive team. maybe not quite a contender though but raps still own their draft picks.

[@jalenjohnson0339]

Agreed man the Raptors have a chance to be a very good team next year with the players they got. Are they going to be better then the Celtics Knicks and Cavs or maybe the Bucks no. But they could possibly be in that second tier team in the east like with the Pacers Magic Miami those teams

[@illDefine1]

@@jalenjohnson0339 That's way too much salary money for a tier 2 team. From a financial perspective, you should expect this team to look quite different next year.

If BI can stay healthy this is a good pick up for the Raptors. This team could be a play in possibly a playoff team by next year. They got Scottie, Barrett, Protel, Quickley, Grady, BI add those guys with Shead and Jacoby Walker and a top ten pick in a loaded draft. This raptors team is going to be pretty dangerous next year This could be a really good deal for the Raptors

As a Pels fan: it is what it is. The market just wasn’t there. Would I have preferred to have just let him expire over this return? I dunno. But I know that it’s dark days in NOLA hopefully your Drew Brees photo keeps you warm at night I guess.

NO and Chicago should be case studies on bad teams hoping they can be good, holding onto players, and then watching their value dwindle and dwindle. Edit: add Toronto to that list, not because of this trade but because of lack of trades the past couple of years

[@adamb1229]

I think the Raptors believe they can get a lot more out of B.I. Their staff are thinking to themselves look what we have just done with RJ. Look at how we moulded Pascal. I think they are rubbing their hands together at the thought of what they can do with B.I. I don’t know if they manage it, but I think the Raptors feel they can turn him more into a 27/10/7 type guy. Definitely run more schemes to get him more looks from 3, and he’ll easily grab a couple more dimes just from having Scotty getting freebies on the cut. I don’t think it’s as awkward a fit as ppl initially think

[@bpdmf2798]

Looks like they got a pick for a guy who won't resign there. Wonder if he'll extend in Toronto or hit UFA. Toronto hoping to sell the franchise on Ingram. I like Ingram and Barnes, that would be an easy team to like. It still feels on the same tier of team as Siakam and OG, or Lowry and DeRozan, but hey, that's Toronto for you.

This makes no sense for raps lmao. BI wants a max. He's been clear about that. Raps can't give him a max while already paying scottie/rj/quickley. Well they could, but then rest of the roster would have to be all minimum and 2-way guys.

A lot of people just tend to read opinions about BI, I suspect you are one of them too... you saying he can "make an obvious pass but asking him to run your offense becomes problematic" gave that away. He is easily the 2nd best passing SF behind bron (3rd if you have Luka as SF) and no this is not an exaggeration One bad playoff series against OKC after rushing back from a Sprained MCL has ruined BI's perception but I think the raptors will benefit of this.. wont be surprised if they make a play-in push
