KAWHIYZ✋🏾

Raptors get: Kawhi Leonard Myles Turner Clippers get: Michael Porter Jr. Gradey Dick Jamal Shead 2 Raptors 1sts 1 Raptors swap Nets get: Brandon Ingram Bucks get: Jakob Poeltl Jamison Battle Warriors get: Trey Murphy III Pelicans get: Kristaps Porziņģis Brandin Podziemski 2 Warriors 1sts 2 Warriors 2nds Just another thought, another IDEA, something could be cooking up, a trade should have been finalized days ago. There is definitely more pieces on the move. Thoughts? 💭

Yo @LAClippers even I’m getting fucking annoyed. Figure it out, make your other moves, reroute BI. HOLY!!

@lucarosano3 Warriors, Wolves. That’s it

From a Raptors fan’s perspective where do you want to see LeBron go? Best case is him going to the Warriors, keeps him in the West and doesn’t add to the star power in the East. Another good option is him going to the Cavs. I’d still take the Raptors over Cleveland. LeBron on the Heat would make them tough, but they still need perimeter shooting. For me personally, I don’t want to see LeBron on the 76ers, he’s a perfect fit there and makes them the top team in the East.

@ShamsCharania Not the news I wanna see shams.

Free agent center Mo Bamba has agreed to a two-year deal to return to the Utah Jazz, sources tell ESPN.

@Raptors Can we change the fucking jerseys this year? Respectfully.

Throwing it back to Alijah Martin getting ready for his Summer League debut 😮‍💨 Watch more ➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=1UFXpV…

@SBGreatestPF Hmm.. undecided, I think not.

Should the Raptors sign JV?

@ProAr1567 @LegionHoops 8 or 9 seed lol

@LegionHoops Definitely getting to the playoffs but not getting too far honestly

Pacers’ roster this season: Tyrese Haliburton (finally healthy) Andrew Nembhard TJ McConnell Aaron Nesmith Pascal Siakim Ivica Zubac Kelly Oubre Jr. Larry Nance Jr. Dangerous team. 🔥

@treepointplay @JustEsBaraheni They’re adding additional teams to the deal.

@JustEsBaraheni Thanks for the reply. I’m not worried about whether or not the trade is going through, just wondering what could be holding it up from being finalized.

Any number of reasons. Could be waiting for extension. Or negotiating the trade kicker. Or trying to loop in a 3rd team to avoid harp cap/let Clippers do more. Also think they wanted to give Kyle’s day its room. EOD, Kawhi being at Kyle’s thing is enough. It’s happening

@RaptorsLT Bro, they are cooking more to the trade. And the clippers are tryna flip BI. It takes time lol.

Admin imma lose my shit

@SBGreatestPF Yes yes yes

posting a picture of Bobby Webster until he finds a Jakob replacement - day 5

Following the John Collins sign-and-trade being made official, the LA Clippers could now choose to expand the Kawhi Leonard trade in order to acquire Peyton Watson OR Cameron Johnson, per @YossiGozlan. “If they acquire Dick into the Collins trade exception, then they could trade Leonard for Ingram’s $40 million and still take back an additional $23.1 million.” (via open.substack.com/pub/yossigozla…)

Drake’s close friends don’t want DeMar DeRozan back in Toronto 😬 (h/t @big_business_ )

I’m done arguing with people about the roster. I’ll let Bobby cook.

@RaptorEnjoyer13 @Kawhifor3 Assumed it was most recent data my bad. This sheet means nothing to me then.

@6ixxSideee @Kawhifor3 24-25' season, sorted in total min, when Jak was healthy. Just to show that yes you can have an inside big. The 3 best Off lineups have Jak. Now you add Kawhi on top. Not saying Jak will be this again, just making the point on the inside big

Am I the only one who is somewhat moved by the idea of Brook Lopez being included in the Kawhi deal since he can be a spacing center and rim protect?

@RaptorEnjoyer13 Why are you showing me old stats then? This data is useless to me then. Assumed it was most recent.

@6ixxSideee I wonder why CMB doesnt show up in stats from 2024-2025

You’re comparing individual players. I’m comparing lineup fit. This lineup data already shows the offensive ceiling with Jak, and notice something else… there isn’t a single lineup here underlined with Scottie + RJ + CMB together. 🤣 That’s literally the trio I’m trying to maximize. A stretch 5 unlocks that lineup. That’s the entire point. You just proved my point.

Holy hell, you guys keep arguing the wrong point. I don’t care if Jak is the better individual player. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about who makes THIS roster better. Basketball isn’t 1-on-1, it’s 5-on-5. Fit matters. A stretch 5 unlocks Scottie, RJ, Kawhi and CMB. That’s the entire argument.

@6ixxSideee He averaged 8 points and is very slow footed… Jak is better than him just because he can shoot doesn’t mean he’s the saviour…Thinking he will impact the team more then Shead is naive imo

Raptors receive: • Kawhi Leonard • Brook Lopez • 2 second-round picks Clippers receive: • Jakob Poeltl • Gradey Dick • Peyton Watson • Moses Moody • 2029 TOR 1st (unprotected) • 2030 TOR pick swap • 2031 TOR 1st (unprotected) Nuggets receive: • Brandon Ingram Warriors receive: • Trey Murphy III Pelicans receive: • Brandin Podziemski • Jamal Shead • Trayce Jackson-Davis • 2028 GSW 1st • 2030 GSW 1st • Multiple 2nd-round picks The longer this takes, the more I wonder if there are other moving pieces involved. Just a mock, but every team addresses a need and Toronto gets a roster that fits Kawhi much better. Thoughts? 🤔

@RaptorEnjoyer13 @Kawhifor3 That’s beyond comprehension to me. With an inside big, you cannot have RJ, CMB + inside big on the floor. That alone should draw you away from the idea of anyone but an inside big. Our best lineup, is dysfunctional without a stretch 5.

@6ixxSideee @Kawhifor3 Id pay for Gafford way before Turner. Anyway, agree to disagree

I’m not going to keep repeating myself. CMB playing 30 minutes a night at the 5 is not what’s best for this team. He’s at his best as a versatile 4 who can slide to the 5 in closing lineups or favorable matchups. A stretch 5 lets him develop naturally instead of banging with starting centers every night. That’s the entire point. A stretch 5 unlocks the whole team. Wanting to upgrade at guard makes zero sense.

@6ixxSideee @Kawhifor3 Jak is clearly broken last year. I said that earlier that i was betting on him getting healthy. Yes fit matters. But i want CMB playing 30 min at C I dont want to give up picks for a backup center. Id much rather package those picks with IQ or RJ to get upgrades there
