Raptors TRADING Back into the Lottery? - Report REVEALS Top-10 Pick AVAILABLE | Raptors News 

One thing people need to realize. Is the picks are not as valued this year by other teams. Especially a team like okc or Memphis. They both already have a very young good core. They don’t need to add more younger players. But we do. Trade yak. Tank for 2025. AND add whatever talent you can from 2024 draft because other teams don’t value these pics as much as 2025/2026. So the picks are easier to acquire. Plus Masai can find talent. There is talent. It’s just not super star stacked

Brown and 19 for #9. I think you could trade Jakob next season at the deadline for a first round.

doubt they take brown for the 9th pick. they would probably want jak if they took anyone. i wouldn’t even mind it. lets just tank man. we got the clinic for now. maybe we can scoop Edey later 😯

You realize the Raptors are a play-in or could be playoff team currently as constructed, if coached right. Barnes, Poeltl, Quickley and RJ. They just have to re-arrange everyone else and add tons shooting and rebounding. Let Gary go, trade Boucher & Brown, use the draft picks & free agency to add rebounding & shooting.

JV is a free agent. Why would they trade for poeltl when they can get JV for cash and keep the pick?

Bro.. I can always depend on you for upto date. Stuff. Thx Bro. God bless you my brother. Let's get this done Masai.. No Tankig though bro.. We Play to win the game

Good draft to stock up on picks, no one seems thrilled with the choices but must be a few gems in there

I'm thinking maybe Brown and couple of future second rounders for the MEM FRP is the offer to get the bid. Grizz are gonna love the fit.

Tanking risks scottie barnes wanting out

@benrogers this is how you teach young players character and to play hard even if they are gonna lose because of the talent gap after trading jakob poeltl. that way when the team is ready to compete in 3-4 years, in those games they are getting blown out, they can still play hard and have a chance to come back and win. that is how champions are created.

Not a bad idea

@ben rogers you want that 9th pick for poeltl, you are not getting brandon clark in the deal. its gonna be kennard and zaire williams as the filler from grizzlies.

We could include the 19th or 31st overall pick in a trade as well.

It's a Longshot on teams trading for those 2 players for top 10 pick in weak draft.Next year draft is better.

Not sure Mem would say yes but Jakob and Boucher for the 9th, Clarke, Koncher and Zaire Williams would work. Tor would probably need to add a future pick tho

BB and our first for 9

Hell no. Keep Jacob at all costs.

Why is everyone trying to trade Yak? He’s too dam good. Y’all hatin

Ujiri will not make anymore moves this off season unless it moves a needle for the raps to make a playoff run..

Grizzlies aren’t giving up Clark

I think Jak is the only guy that teams will be interested in…

I think the market may be bigger than we think for Bruce Brown, we've seen the impact he can have for contending built teams that have a good-great starting 5. He did it in Brooklyn and he was the 6th-7th best player for Nuggets on that title run. The problem is the contract and the poor shooting which could honestly look better coming off the bench as more of a complimentary piece for a team like the Clippers, Bucks, Celtics etc. Jakob Poetl might be a tougher sell given how limited of a player he is. If he weren't a 7 footer the market would look a lot worse for him as there are at least 10 -15 non all star centers that are better than him right now. The best fit for him would be Memphis, OKC. Ideally you'd want to trade him to the West because giving him to a team where he'd be way better like Boston would be too dangerous. OKC have the money to take on his contract and probably too many draft picks to know what to do with (perfect for a trade package). They could move Chet to the 4 and get back some of the size they're lacking in the front court at the moment. Not to mention Chet being able to play the 4 would allow him to be healthier and even allow for better spacing (kinda what was seen with Minesotas twin tower line up of Gobert and KAT)

Yeah ur right Steven Adam’s is “probably” out of the picture. Considering he doesn’t play for Memphis anymore and is on the rockets.😂 anyways great vid Ben 👏🏼

@benrogers memphis need a center and not bruce brown. and the way the salary match works, memphis can only trade for jakob poeltl. it makes sense for raptors as they get the 9th pick and they bottom out for cooper flag in 2025. they wont be tanking legitimately they will be so bad without jakob poeltl they will be a bottom 5 lottery team. so its a win win for raptors and memphis. and its not tanking if you trade jakob, the raptors will be so bad they will lose without the yak, but the coach will enstill them to play hard regardless while lossing.

Who we trying to acquire; Nikola Topic?

I’m Targeting Orlando + Pelicans + Memphis For a Bruce brown or Jakob Poetl Trade Destination’s 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

If we land Clingan at 9, we are set

Please draft Bronny so when lbj retires in a couple of years they can teach these young guys how to be super stars.

Poetl + BB + 31st pick overall for 9th overall + protected 2025 FRP + salary filler. Who says no?

tank the process

We ain’t tanking yall tripping

Gotta love when your home town team fans over value there players. Bruce Brown is not gonna get you moving up the draft. Yak could do it though but Raps would def be a lottery team next season.

You have Barnes RJ Grady Bouchée (who needs to play) Resign Quickly and Olynic. Trade Brown Portlr and Agbaji You then would just need a starting 3nD C a 3nD 6’9+ length SF and a back up 3nD long PG/SG. If Barnes is your #1 you just need good role piece’s Which you can get in the draft off season signing and a trade

Why?

Keep us updated bruh bruh! Although you had questionable takes the last two years.

this dosen't make any sense, unless your getting rid of Poetl for Zach and they beleive he be going top 10 because of the combine debacle fine...other than that top 10 -20 next two years (2025-2026) draft will be golden for this team.

Send Jakob or Bruce for that Grizz pick

Bruce Brown would be much more valuable to a team contending Memphis who aren’t as bad as their record because of injuries. His contact is valuable because teams can decline the team option and create $22 million. This is a value able asset.

Who would we be looking to take at number 9 pick that would warrant this trade? Maybe we should just try to work the free agency market since we have more financial flexibility and move some of the extraneous pieces we have. I wouldn’t mind trying to acquire some more talent like Malik Monk, Miles Bridges, Kelly Oubre, Nick Claxton… These could be great additions that we can grow faster with. I don’t think it’s ideal for us to try to tank again. Not good for the culture of the team.

CODY Williams is the Target at 9 .. He is going to be good He knows the game well and His brother has given him a head start about being successful on the Nba.

ESPN mocks Castles to go 9th - I would love to flip Jak for Castles, he will be an important player one day in the NBA. They also mock Edey to go the Heat @15 - the Heat could use a guard like Brown to bolster their bench, maybe moving up to flip Brown is an option. Nix Claxton is a FA, that is always an option.

Tanking does not work ever Just ask Philly who tried it with top picks over the last ten years.

Just draft Bronny!

perfect trade proposal: Raptors get: Luke Kennard, Brandon Clarke, pick 9 Grizzlies get: Jakob Poeltl and Bruce Brown

If they're going to tank again they should at least sign JAVALE MCGEE for some entertainment

First

Memphis needs a big. Poetle to memphis for 9th pick and salary filler.

Trade Yak for #9 draft Edey

Memphis Gets - Jakob Poeltl, Jalen McDaniels, 31st 2024 Pick Toronto Gets - Luke Kennard, Brandon Clarke, 9th 2024 Pick

Yak for 9 straight up and we take back 2 garbage salaries and help Memphis get under the cap

We can’t lose bro we don’t have the luxury of an American market… if players have to play in Canada and they stink? Yeah. That’s a good recipe for trade requests.

it's amazing how many of these comments are from people who have their ass on display in their profile pic lol... anyway - we don't know shit, let head office do their jobs and stop chirping

Poeltl is superior to the number nine pick.

Let's trade Poeltl and have SB playing next to PFs just like Siakam was pre Poeltl trade... not. Raps need to keep Poeltl and let SB, RJ, IQ, JP develop some chemistry together. Now if Memphis will take Brown and Boucher for #9 and filler then go for it.

We should trade Jakob back to The Spurs for our pick back lol

Masai needs to redeem this Bruce Brown nonsense. Still pissed about Siakim rip off ….

Didn’t we acquire Poeltl to address our need for a center and to appease Pascal? The biggest issue is our flip flopping FO. We sign Poeltl for 20 when he’s worth about 13-15 but was worth it to keep Pascal…THEN WE FN TRADE OUR FRANCHISE PLAYER FOR BRUCE BROWN….this drives me crazy to this day. Take GSW as a template Masai rather than trying to be the trend. Build around your loyal star while developing a younger core. Scottie should’ve been told to shut up, quit whining and learn from the all-nba talent that’s here to show you the ropes. RJ and IQ could’ve learned from him too. Now what. Trade Poeltl for draft consideration…time to move on from Masai imo. His indecisions have been screwing us since 2019. This is a well documented fact.

trade brown boucher and poetl

Extend and trade Gary is an option. A lot of people think Memphis might draft a shooting wing to replace Kennard. Gary could do something like that. Houston could be another team looking to move around in the draft. The Jak move is interesting I had completely forgot Adam’s was traded to Houston but raptors would need to insure they have 2 centers coming in because they’re still short a backup and if you move jak now you have zero centers.

Jacob is worth a minimum 2 first round picks

Do whatever we can to acquire Edey. He will be legendary.

This is just sad

Idk why everyone creams their pants for a rebuild it’s the same people who were then complaining when we sucked all year I think Scottie is a guy to build around I agree with that but do you want to put him in a losing culture? That would be 4 years with him and 1 playoff birth I think we all forget that we aren’t a free agendas destination and you can count on 1 hand the amount of players who wanted to stay here and play their whole careers here, I don’t wanna risk that with Scottie put him on even a semi competitive team early and we always draft well anyway, I think everyone is seeing the Thunder and wanting us to be that but the difference is look how much they got for their assets they tanked as a better team than we were our best assets are already gone not everyone can do that it’s not 2k

this draft sucks lol

Cooper flag is so overrated. Hes no luka so if i have to rely on his athleticism, im good. I wouldnt even take hin top 3

Please god let us trade up

We just go get Old 1st round Picks 😉 Give Killain Hayes a Shot as well as James Wiseman
