need a true big for Embiid?

[baseline bum]

I don't get it, Gasol has sucked the last two years.

[Canyonero]

The good Gasol imo

[D-Wade]

CJ Miles can't shoot anymore so that's a non issue. But Val before his injury looked great against the Heat in '16 and clearly has more of an upside. Marc if healthy is still a solid piece for these playoffs. I don't think it hurts the Raps but it might not help them either.

[phxspurfan]

Weird trade, trying to keep Kawhi obviously

[LkrFan]

East rankings:

Bucks
Raps
Boston
Philly

At least two teams that will keep Boston out of the Finals. Me likey. :tu

[DAF86]

Yeah, I don't get this one.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't like Gasol, but it's a no-brainer move IMO..

It's essentially JV for Gasol, which is worth it 10/10..the former isn't worth anything, his ceiling is low..at least with Gasol, you can hope that he'll have a resurgence with a much better team..

Their window is closed this summer...I guess Ujiri is like why the fuck not tbh..

100

Kawhi is going to be a Clipper, it's a lock..this is an all-in move, makes sense, they only need Gasol to play well for 4-5 months, which should be fine at his age..

[BD24]

Raptors might as well go all in, good move imo.

[monosylab1k]

lol @ this arms race between Toronto and Philly, all for the right to lose 4-1 in the Finals :lmao

[Mark Celibate]

This is why it's a bad trade , IMO. Have to look at the big picture and try to put yourself in a good position when Golden State falls apart. I don't get trading away a guy who's eight years younger for a player who's only marginally better at this point

[resistanze]

Unfortunately the Warriors are still clearly above every team, the West is trash and the 4 teams in the East that could give GSW some trouble will cannibalize themselves in the playoffs.

[skin27]

Raptors defense gonna be solid and besides they at so desperate to keep kawhi

[ambchang]

Kawhi will submarine the raptors so that he can leave in free agency ala Durant. Book it.

[StrengthAndHonor]

need a true big for Embiid?
Embiid feasts against Marc and struggles with Valenciunas.

-Raps fans

All they need is for one of Curry/Durant to suffer a season-ending injury.

[Broly]

Obviously too late now, but Masai should have tried to get another deal with the Grizzlies in a trade around Lowry and Conley. I feel like that would have gotten them over the hump once and for good.

hell a fairly reffed game and Rockets take them down last year.

Pretty much. Statswise they haven’t been that different this year, and JV does it in like half the minutes

I wouldn't go by stats. Gasol right now is still clearly better than Valanciunas. Much better passer, can stretch the D with his shot, better defender, and not slow as molasses on the block or with decision making. JV has pretty much reached his ceiling tbh.

Wouldn't be my first 'all-in' move, but it's clearly an improvement.

[Spurs Homer]

Gasol was brought in to help with Philly's TOP center


Boban!

[tlongII]

Good trade for the Raptors. JV sucks.

[Rusty]

LMAO. Raptors coach starting Ibaka and putting Gasol on the bench. That coach is fucking idiot

:lol scared of getting dicked down by Boston in all 3 sports in a row

[lefty]

Jeremy Lin to Toronto

Not a bad addition tbh

[Robz4000]

Toronto's major weakness was lack of consistent shooting and they acquired two good shooters; good work on their part. Only problem is they still match up horribly with MIL and they got significantly better at the trade deadline as well.

[spurraider21]

i think they have the best roster in the league... but having a great 9-13 matters so much less in the postseason

[hater]

Good trade but agree alm this is shennanigans for Easter conference championship

A worthless championship. Noone beating the golden showers

[skin27]

Raptors are stacked

[spursistan]

Memphis is looking like they have won this trade, tbh..Marc has been underwhelming in Toronto with the exception of 2/3 games..

[phxspurfan]

Was never a fan of Fat Gasol tbh. He had fluke written all over him
