Posited KPJ as a trade target this past deadline assuming Bucks were tanking and cost was low. His size, passing, and rim pressure are exactly what the Raps crave. Problem is, he's yet to demonstrate he's a good person.
Raptors Republic@raptorsrepublic
Interesting take… would like like KPJ in Toronto? #WeTheNorth 📸: Jeff Hanisch

This is the issue. The NBA suffers shit leadership. The tanking, suspensions, Apron system, load management, the ALLSTAR GAME: none of it has logic or consistency or promise of strengthening the League. It’s a dumb/stubborn/greedy leader doing whatever he wants not what is needed

The NBA has never before fined a team any amount of money solely because of their playing time allocations and substitution choices. Forget everything else for a minute and decide if you think it’s Ok for a bunch of lawyers to decide what is an acceptable sub pattern.

@FlyerRapJayPat I’ve really tried to remain hopeful for his evolution. And he is better as off-guard, at least.
English
@AdonMoss Said this since day one. Would be a great sixth man.
English
I say this with an open mind and kind heart: I don’t think Immanuel Quickley is an NBA starter at this point of his career.
English
@OrenWeisfeld Feels like it has hurt his offence. Rushed shots and passes not there.
English
In the last few games Jamal Shead has got the Ant assignment and now the Cade assignment. I donno if that says more about Darko's trust in the 6-foot Shead or the Raptors other perimeter defenders, but its worth noting. He can move his feet as fast as anyone

The NBA has had literally had an illegal gambling operation broken up by the FBI this season that consisted of:
Multiple teams
Multiple players
Staff of teams
Close associates of players
And we have heard more about the Jazz tanking as a risk to the league integrity.
English
This is such a good example of the League’s messed up priorities.
Instead of announcing the punishments in a timely fashion - because the Hornets and Pistons play in SIX HOURS - they reassure us that anyone suspended (Duren) will still be allowed to play in the ALL-STAR game.

Haynes: Jalen Duren will be allowed to participate in All-Star Game if suspended multiple games.

Exhibit infinity Adam Silver has no interest in gaining NBA fans. Just attention, investment, money…

The #NBA is turning its All-Star Weekend into a content factory for more than 200 top creators in Los Angeles. • The league hand-picked a group of influencers to cover live broadcasts, in-arena programming, on-court competitions and fan events. • The goal is to flood social feeds with league-produced moments in real-time and attract new fans. wp.me/pc8uak-1lGTbA

A relieving trade deadline. Was praying Raptors avoided Sabonis/Ja. Maybe, at a low price or to get off IQ but better keep future flexibility. This team is still young/lots to discover. And after last 3 losses, clearly not ready for playoffs + DESPERATELY need a perimeter creator
English
I don’t agree. Maybe not bought at the time, but they did. And when he’s healthy he’s a top 15 centre that complements a team lacking a legitimate creator: rebounding, screening, finishing at-rim, and passing. Injury is a shame but not sure they should bail on him nor Raps buy
Joe Wolfond@joey_doubleyou
it's hard to overstate how damaging the poeltl experience has been for the raps. gave up a premium pick for him when they should've been selling. then inexplicably gave him a huge extension, which is making it impossible for them to upgrade at a time they should be buying
English
The Kings aren’t going to like that Market reset.
Esfandiar Baraheni@JustEsBaraheni
WOW. This is shocking in terms of what the Jazz got him for. 3 firsts?! That’s it?! Raptors should have absolutely gotten on that.
English
Just telling you now, if you couldn’t stomach watching IQ on D, you might need some Pepto for when he and Sabonis try and survive pick and rolls.
Esfandiar Baraheni@JustEsBaraheni
Still come away not loving the idea but conceptually, it would look something like this. Raptors would probably have to make that 2027 pick unprotected.

Reporting on trade talks between the Kings and Raptors on Domantas Sabonis, which has included RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji, while a third team and draft compensation would be needed involving Jakob Poeltl. More with hosts @BlakeMurphyODC and Matt Bonner on @FAN590 and @Sportsnet.

@TRYYYYYYB @OmerOsman200 I'm just saying, if Toronto is doing A trade, it's not the area, I'd want to fill up.
English
@OmerOsman200 @AdonMoss we only had to move him to the 5 spot out of necessity because Jakob got injured and we don’t have a legitimate center on the roster. But you all act like this is just how it’s supposed to be, so we deserve every loss we get.
English
This is where I'm at too.
I said in my piece, the minutes with any of CMB, Sandro, and SB have fine rebounding and good defending ratings, and their versatility, offensively, has popped. It totally depends on the opponent, but assuming Jak comes back, I think you don't bother
