OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[MindzEye]

Does he have long covid respiratory issues ?

They haven't used the 'C' word, but yeah it sure seems like it. "Respiratory condition" is the language used.

But the most recent news has been positive and he's been doing "more" on the court work according to Darko, but with no official change to his status.

 

[Wayward DP]

Yup , forgot to mention Koloko

Does he have long covid respiratory issues ?

this is my assumption at this point but don't think its been confirmed

Using my intuition, if not the Raptors i think he wants Philly.

I cant blame him in not being interested in extending with Sac, Ind or Atl.

But ive been told this trade is going to make us better.

I guess we have to take Hield tho.

 

[MindzEye]

They also have a 1st from a weirdo trade with OKC, Denver, & the Lakers but it's conditional:

 

[zeke]

how many years on Brown's deal?

 

[zeke]

Brown is $22m this year with a $23m team option looks like.

maybe we can flip him.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

What is a Bruce Brown?
Is Hield the only salary filler option?
Should we extend him?

 

[MindzEye]

I guess we have to take Hield tho.

Not necessarily.

Brown is 22M this season, 23M next season.

That 22 + 7.6 in cap space gets us to needing about 8 million in filler to make it work.

McConnell makes 8.7 and could probably be redirected at the deadline (we don't need 3 point guard) or a 3rd team could be worked in.

 

[MindzEye]

What is a Bruce Brown?

A pretty okay rotation guard who can defend 1-3 pretty well. Was a solid contributor for Denver's chip winning team last year.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I mean, is that not a shit deal? We'd be trading a star like him for mostly futures?

I honestly prefer to keep him.
