Mastermind Masai went from asking for 4 FRPs to Barrett and Quickly.
If not for Pop and nephew trade, he would've never built a serious playoff roster. Every move since their championship season has been awful.
Raptors trading Anunoby for Quickley and Barrett.
I think this makes both teams better?
Certainly not a tanking move imo

Maybe we can give them back their FRP for Quickley lol
i wanted quickley on the spurs....I believe hes about to blow up into s om...I would
of traded keldon for him and a future 1st rounder for him...guess well see how he does
running the show
Raptors not tanking which is good but they’re probably gonna sign Quickley so that’s bad
Knicks giving up a lot of offense for 15ppg. Brunson can’t do everything. Seems like it’s going to weaken their bench quite a bit.
This could work out nicely for the Knicks or go south.
Seems like this move should help the Raptors.
Barrett is trash and overpaid.
Quickly and Brunson don't work together and they didn't want to spend 20 million a year on backup PG.
If Quickly actually lives up to the hype and becomes a Maxey type of player, then Raptors won the trade.
If not, Knicks got the better deal. OG is just what they needed.
Big for us, this makes the raptors better.
I hear ya.
If it works for the Knicks it will be because moving Barrett is addition by subtraction.
He’s not good and yet was chucking up a lot of shots.
Anunoby is much more efficient.
Raptors didn’t win this trade on paper, but their roster will be more balanced now and Quickley has star potential.
Curious what draft compensation TOR got from this as well. I think this makes both teams better, but we'll see. My guess is that TOR will allow Quickly to shine and they'll definitely get him locked up, so he is off the board for us.
Damn, there goes wish for IQ on the Spurs. Watch him blow up in Toronto
that might not be a bad idea lol
While I think IQ will likely be better than whoever we take with the TOR pick, I was kind of hoping we could have something like:
IQ/TOR Pick
Vassell
Own Pick/Johnson
Sochan
Wemby/Collins
I feel much better about the PGs in this draft class if they are in a backup role where they can develop rather than having them learn how to be an NBA player as the starter. That would allow us to take the best 2, 3, or 4 with our own pick. We'll still have tons of draft capital to make future picks or make a big trade if one avails itself. Oh well.
I do think TOR will likely view IQ the same way we do and he'll have a chance to shine in TOR. I think they'd want more than just their own pick back.
If TOR valued OG at 3-4 picks, then the inference is that they value IQ+RJ at 3-4 picks (since they only got an additional SRP in the deal). There is no way they are just going to give IQ away for cheap.
Just noticed the Knicks also got Precious. That's decent bench big depth.
I hadn’t followed the Knicks. Just was aware of the offensive production of Barrett. This looks like a better move for the Knicks than I thought. Seems the consensus on Barrett is that he’d be better suited as 20-25 mpg offensive spark rather than a legitimate 2nd or 3rd option.
raptors won this trade....iq gonna average 20 plus a game and a is good defender...hes what we needed
now and for the future....Would of been nice to paired him up with wemby to grow together
The more I think about it, yeah I'd give TOR their pick back for IQ. He'll have a better career than the majority of the players drafted 7-12 in this year's draft. In fact, if you drafted a guy who turned out as good as IQ in that range, you'd consider that a success.
Another way of looking at it: would you have traded Jak straight up for IQ? I would have in a heartbeat.
Nonetheless, I don't think TOR will be interested in moving him.
the thibs special. sacrificing a lot of offense for some defense
Spurs didn’t need IQ
We like what we have
I’m so proud of this team’s character
There are so many things more important than basketball
Losing basketball games is nothing compared to what the people of Gaza have lost
Stop complaining about losses. We’re better than that.
Would have rather just ing traded for Quickley or Anunoby. Well there goes two biggest ways this team could have gotten a lot better. I guess now it's going to come down to if they can draft Topic and if Topic is Chris Paul and not Ricky Rubio.
Probably better than who they take with their own pick too based on the Primo, Sochan, Branham, and Wesley picks.
Didn't need Anunoby either. We're proud of the way Sochan's leaving three point shooters open.
…and draft considerations. They haven’t been named yet, but NY still has two FRPs from OKCs boneheaded Ousaman Dieng trade.
