Serge Ibaka traded to Raptors for Terrence Ross & 1st round pick

[Brozay]

Who the fukk said were winning a title ?

Were sacrificing a late first rounder who statisically speaking probably amounts to nothing...If the Raps "can" re sign ibaka then its worthwhile.
Even if they dont they have a better player ready to step in and take Thot's minutes right now...

loaded draft if your in the top 12 which the raptors arent...

give away 1st rounders in loaded drafts so you can AT BEST get stomped out by Golden State, brehs

 

[Miggs]

They're giving up a mid 20s draft pick and still have another one in that range plus their second round pick.

They also get Ibaka's bird rights (I'm pretty sure) , which makes re-signing him a pretty good bet. This a massive upgrade for them while giving up very little. I'd make that trade 10 times outta 10

but nikkas in here want to shout we aint winning a ring

Its not a lottery pick they traded,the draft isnt loaded up to the 25th pick

I know your first instinct is to shyt on everything Raptors but its a worthwhile risk...

So since GS is winning the chip the league should suspend all player transaction until July 1

Raptors have had first rounders for years now and they're glued to the bench. This deal was also done to appease Lowry. So teams shouldn't improve because they'll lose to the Warriors? What kinda logic is that?

These nikkas are silly. Lowry and Carroll are 30. If they're not gonna try to make the push to make the Finals now, might as well blow up the team because there's never gonna be a better time

This is a great trade.

Hopefully this fills that much needed production at PF and we can climb back up the standings.

they should be looking to the future (not trading first rounders)

make deals to appease Kyle Lowry, brehs

then they should blow it up

 

[Captain Crunch]

He's a terrible GM, how he's had his job this long is white privilege like a muthafukka.

They gonna trade Hezonja for some 2nd rounders next.

Dragic for Hezonja and a protected 2018 pick in the offseason

Please Allah

 

[neph27]

Add another ball dominant player for a grand total of 3 brehs...

Love is also a better rebounder and is a much better team player

And out for the next six weeks. If his recovery slows, what then? The Cavs might not make it out of the east with the rise of Toronto and Boston. Hell, even Washington.

They're in trouble without Love.

 

[Brozay]

Sorry @Miggs is right

You guys should be thrilled about Serge Ibaka

Carry on

Doesn't matter. Great players always fall out of the lottery. The concept of having a 1st round pick is still valuable and can turn into a player like a Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, Rudy Gobert, Giannis, Avery Bradley, Bledsoe, etc all guys who fell late. Again, its a good trade for Toronto, but just pray Orlando doesn't pick up an Eastern conference 2021 All-Star with that pick

bruh they signed DeMar to 150 million. They're trying to win now. What will hoarding first rounders do? Also Lowry is the best player in franchise history, why wouldn't they try to appease him? You essentially said teams shouldn't improve cause warriors are winning the title this year

 

[Miggs]

then they should blow it up

Heres the thing ur not understanding.If they flame out in the playoffs theres a real chance they still do blow it up...
