Don't be SHOCKED...

[@MrNutz52]

Our weakness is that we only have one ligit center. That has been our main problem the last 2 years.. If jacob goes down we are done

[@Steven-b2f7m]

You’re definitely right, but as soon as we get Kelly Olenick back some of that pressure will be relieved

[@ScottieDPOYY]

There are very few Centers worth receiving minutes in the NBA.. we will get a young Center to learn and grow under Yak and Poeltl, same as Comche doing right now. Hard to find upgrades at that position for any team, Koloko was supposed to be just that..

[@ChrisPitreMusic]

[@crisg2295]

​@@ChrisPitreMusicKnew there was going to be at least one mentioning Flagg. Cmon they can't be that bad unless Scottie or Jak get injured.

[@INFINITE-IA]

Kuminga doesn't fit. We should get a Center or taller PF

[@The2ndavepete]

Plus he's not that good.

[@ScottieDPOYY]

Whats the rush? Been saying we don't need any trades this year, just added 10 new players.. let them get reps and deal with the next market. Current market is just unwanted guys who think they are future Pantheon players when they clearly are not. If he really wants to come here, sign him in offseason, if someone else snatches him up, well atleast we didn't tie ourselves to that kind of entitled kid. We just went through the bet on yourself crap

[@ScottieDPOYY]

To be honest, he sounds like the perfect Detroit player

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@@ScottieDPOYY i think it would be more of a situation where warriors want a young guy they can use back. maybe a davion mitchell or a ochai agbaji. i dont think raptors would do agbaji but davion for kuminga is a possibility with gary payton injured all the time.

[@JordyRaptors]

I like Davion we should keep our squad as is they're playing well and still need reps together. We were about to beat a healthy Denver and had that game in the bag

[@ScottieDPOYY]

@@giovanni-ed7zq Sure, I just would say its more than just what we give up for him. If we get him, we got some diva on the team who wants a bunch of money. He going to be ok being 4th fiddle? and getting paid 20 mil? If so, sure. Is he interested in doing what he best suited for? Defending and hustling and cutting? Or is he going to think he Kobe Bryant out there? I am leaning towards he thinks he Kobe Bryant and if thats the case, Davion and Agbaji sound a lot better no? You also think they would trade Kuminga for Davion? I would imagine something else of solid value would have to go

[@ScottieDPOYY]

@@JordyRaptors Yesss, even OKC didn't trade the farm and they had LOADS of firepower to do so. I see trades on this channel all the time that make no sense, I just replied to a Cam Thomas one. Probably one of the worst ones I can think of lol.. we build up what we got and go from there, it may be that we have so much talent by the end of next season we need to cash some in for high end talent, or we just leave what we got because they mesh well and add around the edges? Could be a lot of different outcomes.. only time will tell. Not make ridiculous trades for unwanted high priced people just because they are available

[@maxcali863]

I hope it does not happen. The money he is asking for does not fit our need.

[@ScottieB4]

Nice green screen! Upgrading for the vids! Love it!

[@joshpace07]

I'm in a bind as a fan. I mean, I want Moody to be part of that trade if it pushes through, but with Dick and Walter at the helm I dont see the need to get him. Kuminga is also not a fit, and I doubt he'd be the answer at the 3 for us. Unless we get a haul I doubt this trade pushes through. Maybe a three team trade could happen but I'd rather tank and wait it out for next offseason.

[@adrianau6679]

Kuminga isn’t good when he doesn’t have the ball. His athleticism hasn’t translated to rebounding and defense and has zero basketball IQ. He has the potential to be a million-dollar talent, but for right now he only has a ten-cent brain.

[@Steven-b2f7m]

But Golden State plays a different style than Toronto

[@ScottieDPOYY]

@@Steven-b2f7m Actually, we are playing more like them than ever before. We out in transition a lot but the goal is heavy ball movement and heavy off ball movement. Which is GSW bread and butter, why guys like Boucher struggle. They see ball, get ball, put ball in hoop style.. or some guys are heavy pick n roll guys. Thats not what we trying to do

[@HiAmDerks]

@@ScottieDPOYYball knower

[@yzerfitz]

It sounds like he wants $ he hasn't proven he's worth. Quickley and to a lesser extent, Barnes are both already being paid for their potential. Paying 3 guys big $ based on potential is definitely risky. In theory, he'd be a great pick-up. The cost needs to make sense though.

[@ScottieDPOYY]

If he got paid for what he does, he would fit nicely. But he clearly thinks he is the next Jayson Tatum and thats a hard no thanks

[@Steven-b2f7m]

Why do you care about Toronto Raptors owners money? You get talent here you understand these guys evaluate talent. They know what they’re bringing it.

[@yzerfitz]

@@Steven-b2f7m That annoying technicality called the salary cap. That's the concern.

[@ScottieDPOYY]

@@Steven-b2f7m They also evaluate Character. Raps don't bring in just any old guys, they don't bring in wimps or sassy boys. He over values his "talent", same as BI. We would be handicapping our futures on a wimp.. why would we do that? Plus after 185 (ish) million team salary, you hit the 2nd apron.. which no matter how much your owners have money, greatly restricts team building. No one claimed to be worried about rich owner money, just understand how team building and chemistry works

[@CJWolf-st1qi]

Just not sure how that would work with the salary he’s looking for. Plus the lack of 3pt shooting is a huge red flag no?

[@timc6870]

An athletic big man next JP could be a big difference maker.

[@soddedberm837]

I don't see Kuminga becoming a max player and don't think he's a good fit for the Raps. I'd love to see them go after a young PF like Tari Eason. With a proper PF they could move Scottie to SF and RJ to SG (where they'd dominate defensively). Then Dick could light it up off the bench and be the primary scoring option on the second unit.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@ben rogers i give it a 3 percent chance. reason being warriors and raptors have not done a deal in a long time, meaning when the warriors wanted siakam or og, they were low balling. they were not even willing to give kuminga for og. its likely the warriors will over value kuminga and ask for multiple 1st round picks for him killing any deal. personally i would only give a davion mitchell straight up for kuminga and thats it.

[@123mikey1000]

That’s not happening

[@donuy4586]

Not happening unless JK is taking a pay cut to come to Toronto, cuz we can’t afford him

[@daimeindaley3935]

I read an article, I wanna say during preseason that stated maybe we bet our marbles on the wrong guy. Not to say Barnes doesn't have a future with this organization. But with R.J's performance during the latter part of last season, playing for Team Canada and what he's been able to do leading into the season before his shoulder injury. Maybe we should be focusing on a team that can fit Barrett?? 🤔

[@BuddyTerrifico]

Let’s say we do trade for him , what’s the trade look like and how much money do we have to give him to resign him ?

[@Steven-b2f7m]

We got lots of money don’t worry about that

[@Steven-b2f7m]

You do understand if you trade for Kanga it comes with his bird rights so you can go over the cap to resigning him

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@buddyterrifico its probaby a davion mitchell for a kuminga, similar money and similar draft range and stats.

[@joeyt.]

After the game vs Denver it is so obvious where the Raptors are weak. Right down the middle as Jokic had his way with him especially in the last ten minutes and overtime. Poeltl had some many problems one on one with him which contributed greatly to the Denver 4th quarter comeback. I noticed that Dwight Powell with Dallas is not getting any minutes and sure would welcome a trade to another team especially his home town and at a fraction of the cost. Plus he already has a long time connection with RJ and Kelly. Maybe it is time to let Boucher go along.

[@ScottieDPOYY]

Jokic had no answer for Poeltl either lol. Poeltl did about as good of job as any other Center does against him, Dwight Powell would change none of that. I do agree we need a better back up but our roster just got balanced.. its not complete yet. Center hardest position to fill too and Kelly hurt.. only so much one can do in that stituation. Powell would be a fine stop gap but next year, we won't have room for him so it doesn't make sense in that way though. We still be gunning for a future Center to develop, was supposed to be Koloko but poop happens ya know? For now its Comche but I still think we take another kick at the can. Powell would just fill in that spot along with maybe a top PF pick in this yrs draft. Patience sounds key, not worry about dealing off guys so much

[@christianmeneses4996]

Imagine this a top 5 pick with a core Of Quickley Barnes Kuminga Dick And a top 5 pick That core is good enough with more maturity and experience to make a run in the playoffs it will take 2-3 years for them to develop but the potential is sky high

[@canadiawhat]

Kuminga is not happening. The raptors cannot add another soon-to-be expensive player that isnt yet producing at the rate he is paid. They need to draft their next star to pair with Scottie. They will trade players that dont fit timeline like boucher, poeltl, and brown and they will look for draft picks or players with potential on rookie scale contracts.

[@TheCanadianDyno]

Not sure if we could get a trade for the Kuminga that leaves out BBQ+Dick, but if we CAN get a trade done with anyone outside of that id love to see kuminga on the team

[@Sio-33]

i think GSW could be big on Jak.... they badley need a big man in order to contend this season... TJD isnt gunna cut it, Curry aint got long left in the league and im sure they wanna go full win now

[@xOubax]

He's still a bit too raw, but there's mad potential and he just needs a team he's allowed to grow on without much pressure. Hope we get him

[@jahwalks]

Don’t want non-shooters. Unless we focus on 3-pt shooting to complement our stellar defence, we won’t beat Boston. Go Raptors Go

[@abouttime5000]

Lol. Why you wanna waste this teams money time and development on another project. CHOMCHE worth waaaaay more if he unlocked. The kid is 18, 7 ft and can run down the court in the blink of an eye. People keep sayimg if kuminga develops here under a movement shooter offfence he will be restored. Into what? Tf was the Warriors offence? He had 4 yrs under KERR! Enough. Clean your room first before even thinking of adding another potential restorable piece of furniture.

[@augustwest2931]

Starting to really like the Raps again, if they trade for Kuminga I am out.

[@joelbennett3709]

Raps will always be closely linked to African players - and it's worked for the team. Kuminga and Coach Kerr's relationship is over according to the beat guys out there.. So it's not a crazy video topic. I feel like Dubs shopping Kuminga is going to start inside the next couple days another loss and it's real. Kuminga is not easy to trade for.... his 8M rookie deal means matching salary/talent player for player is not an option so it's a deal about prospects and picks. But he's going to be making real money imminently and you have to have space for it and if he's already showing "personality" - How many teams are really ready for that ?? The winning deal for both sides is Wiggins and Kuminga for Brown Boucher Walter and a pick. Brown helps GSW now; Boucher doesn't hurt them in this campaign - but more importantly it gives GSW 64+ million in wide open cap this offseason ( Brown Boucher Looney Payton II and others are expiring) to land another megastar of their own choosing that they are constantly linked too. Then our (Raptors) only problem becomes Minutes & Matchups because with all these guys potentially - and prospects - they simply have to make some noise.

Kuminga has spent too much time with Wiggins. He's going to be a contract year player at best. Is trading for a guy who is only on the market because he thinks he should be getting a max in his contract year "buying low" or "renting a massive headache to be a cancer in the locker room"?

[@spyrit35]

All of that talking about why the Dubs and Kuminga may not work out long term and why the raptors might want him and I have to stop the video before I can hear what the Raptors have that they would want in return... I like Chomche but he's 4 years away and his salary doesnt match up to a #7 pick 4th year salary, The Dubs may loke Mogbo but similar salary issues but his ceiling is deemed much lower than Kumingas, they already have too many guards and Toronto cant give up Jacob. Why would they trade Kuminga for his pre-extension salary instead of waiting months for a much more valuable package? (The Raptors dont have 35 million of non-Barnes talent) (Don't bring up Boucher please) I know the need for content exists, but this is silly.

[@MickLoud999]

No one cares. I don't know which front office is more inept. Blow Jays or the ruptures. They went from championship contending teams to laughing stock in like 5 years. They have both done, literally, nothing in the last 5 years. How does Ujiri and Shatkins sleep at night knowing their teams are a joke? The ruptures, especially, have gone from first to worst. They have let their championship team go with zero adequate replacements.

[@mtavares15]

If they can get Kuminga I say they should go for it. Strong, athletic work in progress…. Obviously Barnes is off the table but if they wanted RJB I would seriously consider it…. Or even Jakob. Kuminga is the type of player needed Not sure why GSW would do it though unless they get something tangible back…. Plus wouldn’t Kuminga be an RFA now??
