Toronto Raptors Rumours

04 May 2025 12:54:23
Raptors trade Barns Barnett first rounder 26,27 and 28 no protections

Milwaukee' G Antetokounmpo

I wonder if this is enough from Raptors side. I would actually pay up to 5 first round pics plus Barnett and Barns.

The Raptors have never been in such a good position to pull off a blockbuster. They are in way better position now than they were when they pulled off the Leonard trade. Giving up Barnes and Barnett won't even phase them as I think they end up with a better player in the 2025 draft than Barns

04 May 2025 16:29:37
Great offer for sure if you add atleast another 1st and pick swaps.

04 May 2025 19:58:20
If you can turn Barns into a top 10 League player like ANTETOKOUNMPO you do it. Raptors have never been this deep ever and Barnes is never going to be a top talent like Cade Cunningham is. Next season Cade will most likely average 30 points a game that’s something Barnes will never do. I am convinced in Raptors will find a better player than Barns in the first round of 2025.

By getting Yannis it will open up extra trade Poeltl would become available I am not sure what the Lakers could offer Toronto but Los Angeles would love a Center like Poeltl.

Not legal.

Big offseason surprise deal
Grizzlies/Raptors

Raptors get Ja Morant, Brandon Clarke, John Konchar
- gets another star to play with Ingram & Barnes

Morant/Shead
Dick/Konchar/Walter
Ingram/Agbaji
Barnes/Clarke/Mogbo
Poeltl/Boucher/Wiseman

Grizzlies get Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, 2 1st round picks, pick swap
- gets 2 capable players who can help them still compete

Quickley/Pippen
Bane/Wells
Barrett/Kennard/Williams
Jackson Jr/Jackson
Edey/Aldama/Huff

03 May 2025 20:16:45
Morant could actually be the solution to Ingram and Barnes, and I've always liked Clarke. The only thing for me is the spacing - Morant's not the greatest shooter, neither is Barnes, and Poeltl for sure is not.

05 May 2025 11:25:49
In the NBA player interviews are extremely important the stakes are high in selecting NBA players. It’s not just determining weather a player will become a future star in the League but you must determine if the player has the maturity and mental heath that won’t cause problems at a latter date. Ja Morant is already on the downside of his career at 25 years old. He has a gang mentality that is wreaking havoc from a Public Relations point of view and the Grizzlies want a divorce from, this player.

There is a big difference when having a GHA, Anthony Davis Kevin Durant prime, LeBron James prime, Seth Curry prime, Jason Tatum and Giannis Anteokounmpo on your team than having Jo Morrant we are even seeing red flags with Anthony Edwards.

We saw the concerns the Dallas Mavericks had with Luca Doncic not as a person just worrying about his ability to live a healthy lifestyle and keep himself healthy as he transitions from a youthful player to a player heading towards 30 years old. We saw Lucic struggling to get up and down the court as a 25 years old old seeming to have weight issues


So the Raptors wound never trade for Morrant and his mental health issues.

05 Mar 2025 15:23:36
Off-season moves for raptors. Pending draft. For the purpose of this will assume no pick.

Raptors need to add much more size. Boucher will have to go. Ingram hasn't played yet. And Barrett is playing really well. The only thing I can see happen that makes sense is trading quickley and either Ingram or barrett for an allstart guard. Player like Booker or Young someone who can really take over a game for them. Hawks could use a restart Young and Barnes would be great. Let's do it

Hawks get Ingram quickly and dick and future first

Raptors get Young and Capela.

05 Mar 2025 16:12:54
I like the target for the Raptors, but you'll need to add more if you want to get Young.

05 Mar 2025 18:21:01
Atlanta could have gotten BI in the Murray trade if they wanted him.

30 Apr 2025 11:44:09
Obviously picks woukd be involved but I think it would work maybe Booker is the better fit.

05 Mar 2025 11:28:26
Tor: D Booker
Suns: Barrett+Poetl+G dick+ 1rnd pick 25+26+28+30+swap option 27 and 29

05 Mar 2025 15:16:23
I mean sure a offensive stud and honestly he should go to the east but why would they trade there only center. I can see them letting another player go with barrett or trading Ingram instead.

05 Mar 2025 16:13:35
Not sure I'd trade all that for Devin Booker, but that's what it'll cost.

30 Jan 2025 14:49:13
Raptor's and kings, and wizards


Win now for kings so why not trade with Raptor's who can take a year or sneak into the play in and fast forward a year of rebuild

Kings get Jordan Poole and 2 future first from raptors

Raptor's get Fox

Wizards get Quickley and shead and a seconder.


Raptor's would give up 2 first rounders and quickley for Fox but I think that's worth it for a guard who can score out games. And is close to the same age as everyone else.

This would also give them a good look for the rest of the year and all of next season to see if this would work. If not they could trade him in a sign and trade.

Raptor's would use there pick this year to bring in another young player just incase

Next trade would be for another center trading brown and boucher are probably our best bet

30 Jan 2025 18:55:26
lol I'd want 2 1sts just to take Poole. This is funny bad for the Kings.

31 Jan 2025 14:48:23
Horrible, at least 5 firsts need to be added. Poole doesn't have positive value.

31 Jan 2025 17:19:59
Whoops, thought the Kings were getting Poole and 2nds. I guess two firsts is pretty decent, depending on the protections.

13 Jan 2025 14:03:16
The Raptors as a facilitator in a Butler trade



Miami trades: Jimmy Butler, Pelle Larson
Miami receives: Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Jalen Hood-Schifino, DET 2029 1st, LAL 2030 2nd

Toronto trades: Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Davion Mitchell
Toronto receives: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, TOR 2025 2nd via DET, DET 2031 1st (top 10 prot)

Detroit trades: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, TOR 2025 2nd, 2029 1st, 2031 1st (top 10 prot)
Detroit receives: Jimmy Butler, Christian Wood, Pelle Larson

Lakers trade: Jalen Hood-Schifino, Christian Wood, LAC 2025 2nd, 2030 2nd
Lakers receive: Davion Mitchell


Why the Heat do this: Trade Butler and save 10 million while gaining good assets. JHS can be a prospect and Brown could easily net additional value.

Adebayo/Ware/Love
Jovic/Olynyk/Johnson
Brown/Highsmith/JHS
Robinson/Jaquez/Richardson
Herro/Rozier/Burks

Why the Raptors do this: They're rebuilding so sell their older players and take on some contracts for assets.

Poeltl/Boucher
Barnes/Harris/Mogbo
Barrett/Agbaji/Fontecchio
Dick/Hardaway/Walter
Quickley/Shead/Temple

Why the Pistons do this: Get a star in Butler to pair with Cade, while not giving too much for a player of his calibre.

Duren/Stewart/Reed
Thompson/Wood/Klintman
Butler/Holland/Moore
Ivey/Beasley/Larson
Cunningham/Sasser

Why the Lakers do this: Get a real, defensively solid PG while not giving up a first, bolstering their rotation.

Davis/Hayes/Koloko
Finney-Smith/Vanderbilt
James/Knecht/Reddish
Reaves/Christie/James
Mitchell/Vincent/Milton


Thoughts?

13 Jan 2025 21:33:58
I don't hate it but Will Butler go to Detroit?

13 Jan 2025 22:48:30
Toronto getting way too much this is lopsided asf.

14 Jan 2025 00:25:30
I didn't notice both 1sts. Take out the 1st going to Toronto.

15 Jan 2025 12:32:00
Good for Lakers, good value for TOR, bad for DET given the fit. A team that got better by surrounding Cade with more shooters around him to trade 3 of them for a suspect one in Butler (40% in small volume this year but historically not good) seems wrong.

30 Jan 2025 16:41:49
Not great but ok.

08 Jan 2025 18:42:45
Off season moves.

Raptors get first pick a d use this pick to trade for a high end talent who's ready to jump the raptors into top of the east for years.

Trade quickley and poeltl and the first pick for Giannis.

Bucks then trade Lillard and Middleton for more young players and picks and build there team around Flagg and quickley.

Raptors would have to add more depth behind the guard spots but having Barnes as the pg with barret dick and Giannis and potentially Olynick is a pretty solid line up for a top east team

09 Jan 2025 20:40:19
I mean a package of Flagg, Quickley and Poeltl is pretty nice. Not sure it gets you Giannis, but worth a try.

10 Jan 2025 15:04:32
If Giannis asked out, no one could top this package. No one.

But I’m not sure I expect Giannis to ask out. And I’m not sure why Toronto would do this. I don’t think it makes them a contender. They’d probably be better off keeping Flagg and continuing their rebuild.

15 Jan 2025 17:33:09
Obviously keeping Flagg barns and quickley would be best. Moving dick and walter off the bench With shead or Mitchell. Our issue is we need a back up center poeltl is a solid starter and with Flagg barrett and quickley on thw floor it makes total sense. Barnes can start making a name for himself on the defensive end and easy open shoots.

08 Jan 2025 17:42:26
Here are some trades generated from the BasketballGM CPU for three Raptors players.

Bruce Brown:

ATL offers Bogdan Bogdanovic and Mo Gueye

DET offers Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, and Wendell Moore Jr.

MIA offers Terry Rozier


Kelly Olynyk:

CHA offers Nick Richards and Vasilijie Micic

UTA offers Patty Mills, Drew Eubanks, and Isaiah Collier

WAS offers Richaun Holmes


Chris Boucher:

MEM offers Brandon Clarke

MIL offers Pat Connaughton and Tyler Smith (is this legal?)

Which one of these is the most realistic?

10 Jan 2025 20:52:11
Not sure if realistic, perhaps favors Toronto, but Olynyk for Richards and Micic is a pretty nice trade for the Raptors.

28 Nov 2024 16:39:43

19 Nov 2024 23:43:16
I do t hate the trade raptors definitely need to trade boucher and brown this year if they can get a ypung guard like green and a few more picks. That's a solid return. Bucks need to do something today. If jot the season is done. They need to fire Doc and make a move for help. Lillard and Giannis need help Lopez is old and Portis and Middleton are good trade bait. Do It.

12 Nov 2024 03:54:57
Bucks - valanciunas, brown & 2nd from wizards

11 Nov 2024 21:23:35
Raptor's need more offensive power and need another big to really take over.

Heat start over. 3 team trade

Raptors get Bam and eat up cap space.

Heat get Agbaji, kuminga, moody and Pod with 4 first round picks raptors

Warriors get butler.

11 Nov 2024 22:30:53
Looks good overall. Bam could definitely help the Raptors.

19 Nov 2024 23:46:24
Bam would be a solid player for the raptors and nect to Barnes watch out. Small but fast and strong. Both have a mid range and both can post up. Heat need to really move on from butler he's old and they won't even come close to what they did a year or two ago. They need to start building picks and young players. Warriors need a few upgrades and can let a few ypung guys go. Butler would help them out big time when healthy. Especially in the playoffs.

11 Nov 2024 21:06:46
Raptors trade poeltl and first round 2026 for Zach Eddey and luc Kennard

Grizzlies would have a better vet center and a push for the playoffs.

They also need more help off the bench which I can see them trade smart for a more scoring punch.

12 Nov 2024 00:37:31

05 Nov 2024 18:15:53
Looks way too good for the Raptors.

06 Nov 2024 09:45:22
Why would the bucks include the Raptors?

11 Nov 2024 21:11:43
I dont see how the raptors would need to be involved but I also can see the thunders pulling this trade with all there picks as they should

Send them all the clippers picks and they would need to send Williams and Wallace and maybe 4 firsts for giannis.

03 Nov 2024 22:49:52
TOR: Kleber, Prosper, 2nd
DAL: Boucher, Agbaji

Tor gets a young PF

Pelicans aren’t trading Ingram to GS of all teams. And definitely not for that return.

15 Oct 2024 08:14:56
that's a steal for NO and Ingram would be great in GS.

11 Nov 2024 21:26:43
Raptor's would not trade there only center for Wiggins.

04 Oct 2024 05:09:56
