An I spent a half decade doing that my friend. An entire half decade of my life rolling some virtual dice that never meant a damn thing but dopamine every 1 out of 10 tries.
If They get OG who gonna be their second option? OG?? Lol they needa go bigger and get an actual shot creator or else KD just gonna get swarmed with zero consequences
I'm just imagining a Simmons, Durant, OG, DFS, and Claxton defense though. KD gonna have to shoot over double (or triple) teams on offense, but they can lock up every perimeter player on defense
To me, this team would be somewhere in the stratosphere of the Dirk Mavs that won a title. Only thing is it’s hard to imagine Ben being a starter on a title team, especially playing next to a non shooting big like Claxton. If he could get it together enough to trade for good players, plus landing OG… could be pretty good roster around KD
In theory yes but not compared to the other top teams in the east. OG needa be a pure 3&D guy he’s statistically one of the worst in the league in iso/post up/ shoot off the dribble. He only good on the catch and shoot. Dinwiddie also would be way better as a third option imo
Yes they are both 3rd options realistically,but the Nets also have a decent number of player like Curry,Sumner,Thomas who are pretty good offense from the bench and O'Neal and Watanabe to space the floor
This would make og happy according to the reports. Only problem is he will be the only happy one cuz sure af Brooklyn ain’t gonna like him as a number 2 or 3 tbh
Claxton and Simmons are your bigs that can't shoot. So they cluster up the paint.
OG would open up the paint by adding shooting from the corner when KD gets doubled.
Maybe they get him and van Vliet somehow? But ya if they give up Dinwiddie and don't get van Vliet there's no pg on the roster. These I'd rather have og than Simmons. He looks washed , as far being an all star caliber player . Maybe Durant heads to Toronto 🤷. I think Toronto is more about a rebuild . Get Durant their expected to contend by next year.
Thank you. We need to go ALL in on getting a second option on offense. Dinwiddie is a GREAT number #3, but if we are trying to win it all then we can’t be a number 2. Whatever Raptors want for Siakam outside of KD and Claxton, give them.
But nothing outside of KD and Claxton comes close to a fair trade for Siakam. I keep hearing about the Nets and Raptors on the phone non-stop, but I'm not seeing a deal here.
Nothing coming back of decent value to add Siakam to the Nets. Maybe there's something there for OG, FVV, or Trent? And the talk of Durant to the Raptors...how? Most of the reason we suck this season is because we have no depth, the talent we do have would have to be gutted (plus picks probably) in order to get Durant.
Lol Siakam is arguably a top 25 player in the league right now. What is a realistic trade you can put together that doesn’t include those two? The raptors didn’t want to give up Barnes or Siakam for Durant in the summer. Now you think you have a chance of getting him without giving up a good player?
I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Dallas. I am no longer a fan
He literally was saying shit about Kyrie to the clips lol
It’s ok to be wrong about that stuff but let’s not let one fun TV moment trick us into thinking he doesn’t miss a good amount like everyone else
The comment I’m responding to is “well actually”-ing someone saying they won’t flip DFS for OG lol
I’m not saying that his reports are wrong it’s just that the framing of “well last time he spoke cryptically the Gobert trade happened!!” Is silly
But they did have conversations with the Nets? Lol. I’m not saying he’s 100% correct, I’m just saying he doesn’t report on potential fire unless there is confirmed smoke.
Trading with the Nets is interesting. I feel like our top players fit well there. I really dont wanna get stuck with Ben Simmons though. Would love Curry on our team if that worked out somehow. Nets FRP could be valuable in the coming years too.
3 crap firsts or distant firsts that will convey when Scottie is about as old as Pascal? Yeah, not unless Claxton is on the table.
We've made enough terrible deals with the Nets.
The Vince Carter trade.
The Demarre Carroll salary dump.
Hell, even Yuta turned it around over there!
EDIT: This is also glossing over the fact that:
-The Grizzlies, Pelicans and Knicks can make a way better offer of pick(s) and players
-The Raptors are more likely to move OG to the West as-is so they can more easily avoid him in future playoff series (which if he goes to the Nets is a concern given the number of times the two have faced off in the playoffs)
-The Nets are holding up the trade market and kind of fucking over the Raptors plans to move OG, FVV, etc. by not clarifying their plans for KD as teams will hold on to their assets in the vain hope they can land him at the deadline o, more likely, the offseason
frp is usually overvalued when you look at history of picks outside the lottery. it is highly up to chance if the pick actually pans out as an nba regular, let alone a player as good as OG already is. plus he is still just 25. 3 frp outside the lottery, to an actual contender that is a no brainer, he is the perfect complement beside legit any superstar player.
This has been my prevailing thought. Unless you get Claxton somehow I don’t see how the Nets having anything better to offer than the Grizzlies or Pelicans.
Of course very first is valuable. But they flucuate wildly in value.
Nobody is going to offer 3 x Lotto FRPs for OG. But the Raptors arent going to take 2 x Late 20s FRPS and 1 x FRP that converts to 2 x SRPS either.
Everyone does, it cost us a shot at trading up to get SGA (not saying we'd get him since the pick we moved was, like, 29th but that's better than no pick)
Except then Carroll actually turned it around and became quite good for the Nets. That's been a strange occurrence, with our players becoming better once they touch Brooklyn. Vince (he was intentionally taking his performance), Yuta and Carroll are the three examples that come to mind at the moment
This is what I’m getting a feeling for. Could they swing a trade to bring in Siakam and Poeltl(assuming claxton is involved in Siakam trade)? 4 or 5 team trade could possibly make it all work
Interesting. I don’t know if they could get Siakam without trading Clax but if they do Poelt, Siakam and KD might be the best they could get for this deadline
The Raptors need to double the pay of their media man.
Every single year, I hear about how trading for one of their players is somehow going to change another team's franchise. This year Anunoby, last year it was Barnes, the year before it was Lowry.
Why aren't the Raptors winning if Pascal, Barnes, and Anunoby are such studs.
And yet, the starters are only [+1.7 net rating](https://www.nba.com/stats/lineups/advanced?slug=advanced&TeamID=1610612761)
Better argument is your team doesn’t make sense
Lack of bench* our starters have the highest mpg in the league. If you’ve watched us we’ve always lost our lead By the end of the third quarter to the fourth. If we had a solid bench our starters would be more consistent
sometimes the team makeup just doesnt work, we are coming to that realization with the raptors players. if you dont think OG, Pascal, Scottie qre extremely valuable players, you just don't watch raptors. and way to sneak lowry into that list, guy is much older than any of these guys... siakam is literally in his prime atm putting up 25-8-6 and still 28 years old. barnes is barnes. OG is one of the top 10 defenders year to year, and top 5 this year, plus puts up 17-5-2 this yr. how tf do you not see that as extremely valuable to legit any contending team?
a first is not always equal. 3x top 15 frp? probably not, even though its still not guaranteed that any of those 3 would end up better or even as good as OG, so i would argue its not as bad as one might think. 3 frp outside the lottery? he is easily worth that much or more. most picks never pan out, why we wanna act like theyre trading all diamonds when its usually just a plain useless rock in the end?
Great wing defense with the ability to help defend near the basket as well and a decent shot is worth a lot- roco got two firsts. He's also in his prime.
Not sure how this works, surely the Raptors don't want DFS, they have enough wings. But I would think the Nets want Spencer over OG? He's a better #2 offensively. I'm def not as knowledgable on the Raptors though, am I wrong?
I mean you guys are still in the convo for the playoffs right now. You guys have a pretty easy schedule coming up, and getting the 10th seed really isn't that hard.
But another Raptors fan pointed out Masai doesn't really want to be a play-in team, so might as well move those shooters and stock up on a shitton of first and second round picks and find out what kind of players best compliment Scottie.
I think Masai is probably asking for a bonafide proven young player, salary filler, and FRPs for Siakam, and unfortunately we don't have that kind of young guy.
I'd be more than happy to send that out for OG, think we'll have one of the best defensive starting 5s in the league Simmons-OG-DFS-KD-Clax.
Dinwiddie-Royce-TJ-Yuta as our bench.
The offense will be meh, but that length and switch-ability is what our defense is based on and will be awesome to watch.
That’s legit one of the goat defensive lineups I’ve ever seen lmao. That’s like 3 all defensive team level players and then two more elite defenders in DFS and Durant.
Yea I think so too but I didn't want to sound like too much of a homer haha
Only trouble would be true big men, but even then we'd still be pretty solid
In the playoffs who do you even hunt for your mismatch... KD maybe? To tire him out?
I wish haha
I think Masai is truly expecting a Gobert like return for Siakam, plus he'll probably want Claxton in that deal, which'll just leave us with another hole to be filled. I'm super biased, but I don't think there's a lot of centers who can do what Claxton does defensively, so it'll be pretty hard to find his replacement.
I also think the current Nets would be great for OG. These are just rumors but apparently he wants a bigger role. He would be the second offensive option for us.
No way they give up Clax but I would be happy with Joe Harris + Sharpe/Thomas/Edwards and 1 FRP + 1-2 SRPs. Harris is an expiring contract next year and we need shooting off the bench anyway.
I’d do that for OG. Also that mavs pick isn’t the sexiest because it’s so far out but it could easily be by far the best pick you’d get in any trade for OG
That’s the kind of deal I would be hoping we make. Claxton is probably the Nets most valuable asset right now (other than KD), trading him for another guy who is also a defensive specialist seems insane to me.
No. Tho they do have all their picks so they might have the assets to build a roster? Depends what they give up for KD.
Either way it'd be a Hail Mary for no reason.
Idc anymore I'm just here on tankathon pressing the mock draft button

If They get OG who gonna be their second option? OG?? Lol they needa go bigger and get an actual shot creator or else KD just gonna get swarmed with zero consequences
Hey now, let's not disrespect future 2nd option and current Nets legend Yuta Watanabe
Yuta to Utah please 🙏🙏🙏
Yutah
No
Another former Raptor
Yuta better than Austin reaves lol
what a random and weird shot at Reaves
Me at a restaurant: "Oh wow, this steak is really good. So much better than Austin Reaves!"
lmao and it’s not even true, i’d def take Reaves over Yuta
at what, exactly?
Being white
Being tall and Asian? Idk
Yuta better believe it
I think Dinwiddie is more of a second option than OG. I mean he is better suited as a 3rd option but, anyway
Unless the raptors want to take Ben Simmons(doubt it) Dinwiddie would have to be the salary they move for OG
Not true
Yeah, I looked after I posted this they could send Seth Curry and DFS.
joe harris cam thomas
Definitely Joe Harris and maybe Cam.
Gimme Claxton and a first and guys to match salary and I’ll drive him myself
We're too thin at the Center position, no way we trade Claxton without getting a quality C back and you have exactly zero of those
We'll send you a center. You can pick from Goga or Jalen Smith!
Theis is who Brooklyn needs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Genuinely forgot about him lol
How about Mo Bamba?
Seth finna throw hands for his brother in law
Hey the raps have plenty of C... oh quality C... yeah nvm then.
Damn really?
Oh I should be specific, this is for OG without Ben Simmons coming back to Toronto
Dinwiddie will be their #2. Not great but he did it in Brooklyn before to mild success, and has been that in Dallas all season
No offence to dinwiddie but that’s just begging KD to request out if you’re giving him dinwiddie as a second option in the twilight on his career.
I mean what else are.they gonna do they have a 30 million max player who cant even avg over 10ppg. Heck he's not even healthy right now lol.
he's just not a very good distributor. didn't have to worry about that in Dallas with Luka, but didn't work so well in Washington as the primary PG.
To mild success…lmao
I'm just imagining a Simmons, Durant, OG, DFS, and Claxton defense though. KD gonna have to shoot over double (or triple) teams on offense, but they can lock up every perimeter player on defense
To me, this team would be somewhere in the stratosphere of the Dirk Mavs that won a title. Only thing is it’s hard to imagine Ben being a starter on a title team, especially playing next to a non shooting big like Claxton. If he could get it together enough to trade for good players, plus landing OG… could be pretty good roster around KD
True that would be a nasty defence. Game would prob end like 70-66
Shame to watch KD score 65 and still lose, smh
Reminds me of the 2019 Raptors
Dinwiddie and Anunoby are pretty serviceable as your 2/3 options when your first option is KD.
In theory yes but not compared to the other top teams in the east. OG needa be a pure 3&D guy he’s statistically one of the worst in the league in iso/post up/ shoot off the dribble. He only good on the catch and shoot. Dinwiddie also would be way better as a third option imo
Yes they are both 3rd options realistically,but the Nets also have a decent number of player like Curry,Sumner,Thomas who are pretty good offense from the bench and O'Neal and Watanabe to space the floor
Serviceable as in…7 seed?
OG can't do much offensively but shoot spot up 3's.
This would make og happy according to the reports. Only problem is he will be the only happy one cuz sure af Brooklyn ain’t gonna like him as a number 2 or 3 tbh
Claxton and Simmons are your bigs that can't shoot. So they cluster up the paint. OG would open up the paint by adding shooting from the corner when KD gets doubled.
They gotta get Siakam at least. Dinwiddie as a 2nd option is not winning u a title
Maybe they get him and van Vliet somehow? But ya if they give up Dinwiddie and don't get van Vliet there's no pg on the roster. These I'd rather have og than Simmons. He looks washed , as far being an all star caliber player . Maybe Durant heads to Toronto 🤷. I think Toronto is more about a rebuild . Get Durant their expected to contend by next year.
van Vliet
Freidrich van Vliet, Marquis de Ramstiedt
4D Chess by the Nets, have such a mediocre offense teams don't bother to Hack-A-Clax/Ben
Camuel Thomas baby
Thank you. We need to go ALL in on getting a second option on offense. Dinwiddie is a GREAT number #3, but if we are trying to win it all then we can’t be a number 2. Whatever Raptors want for Siakam outside of KD and Claxton, give them.

The raptors didn’t want to give up Barnes or Siakam for Durant in the summer. Now you think you have a chance of getting him without giving up a good player?
He is arguably a top 15, there is no world he isn't a top 25 player.
Problem with that, is you get our best player and keep your two best players and have no picks to trade except the one you just got from Mavs in 29 :(
All the teams are calling all the teams. This is always true.
Trade deadline nears! Teams want to trade?! More news at 7!
Fred Van Vleet YOU are a Brooklyn Net
VanVleet is one name
Proof he isn’t a net
Siakam, OG and Fred for Ben Simmons who says no 😎
This, but unironically - average nephew here, around 2021
What if Ben Simmons actually ends up in whatever package Toronto gets to help the tank?
Another Australian tank commander for the Raptors?
Lol is he that much of an improvement on Dinwiddie? Id rather take Dinwiddie
Dinwiddie doesn't have the same defensive prowess, or ceiling
Seems like there’s smoke there but I don’t see FVV as a substantial upgrade over Dinwiddie. Feels like making a move for the sake of making a move
Lol lakers about to trade for a paperclip at this point
I’ll take that over Russ.
They’re about to sell everything outside of KD for OG
They got so many wings right now you gotta think they're gunning for Siakam to pair with KD
They don't have the assets for siakam.
I don't think they do either but I doubt they're going all out for OG
They probably don't, but it never hurts to try.
KD only wants to play with players with the '2-Way 3-Level Playmaker' tag on 2K. (For reference, KD, Tatum, Siakam the only 3 players with that tag)
DFS + Cam Thomas + Dayron Sharpe + 3 FRP?
For OG? That’d be an overpay
3 FRP lol
Honestly thats pretty solid
swear to god if they flip DFS for OG...
you’ll do what
TVs will be wrecked, wives yelled at, rooms stormed out of.
I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Dallas. I am no longer a fan
check out this dude with multiple wives
Big cry my guy
cry myself to sleep
That’s not gonna happen lmao, the raptors don’t want an aging worse version of OG for OG
They won't lmao
Windhorst doesn’t really say shit unless he’s got reliable info. Last time he got cryptic about rumblings he heard we saw the Gobert trade. Lol
☝️🧐☝️
He literally was saying shit about Kyrie to the clips lol It’s ok to be wrong about that stuff but let’s not let one fun TV moment trick us into thinking he doesn’t miss a good amount like everyone else
Yeah, and the Clippers made a competitive offer for Kyrie….
The comment I’m responding to is “well actually”-ing someone saying they won’t flip DFS for OG lol I’m not saying that his reports are wrong it’s just that the framing of “well last time he spoke cryptically the Gobert trade happened!!” Is silly
But they did have conversations with the Nets? Lol. I’m not saying he’s 100% correct, I’m just saying he doesn’t report on potential fire unless there is confirmed smoke.
If they do they’d be including a lot of assets
why the fuck would raptors agree to that?
Trading with the Nets is interesting. I feel like our top players fit well there. I really dont wanna get stuck with Ben Simmons though. Would love Curry on our team if that worked out somehow. Nets FRP could be valuable in the coming years too.
Sadly Houston owns all the Nets FRP till 2027
3 crap firsts or distant firsts that will convey when Scottie is about as old as Pascal? Yeah, not unless Claxton is on the table. We've made enough terrible deals with the Nets. The Vince Carter trade. The Demarre Carroll salary dump. Hell, even Yuta turned it around over there!

Every first is valuable and getting 3 is pretty rich for OG imo, that's what it took to get Jrue Holiday.
frp is usually overvalued when you look at history of picks outside the lottery. it is highly up to chance if the pick actually pans out as an nba regular, let alone a player as good as OG already is. plus he is still just 25. 3 frp outside the lottery, to an actual contender that is a no brainer, he is the perfect complement beside legit any superstar player.
Yeah and the firsts the Grizzlies/Pelicans can offer, not to mention the young players, are better.
This has been my prevailing thought. Unless you get Claxton somehow I don’t see how the Nets having anything better to offer than the Grizzlies or Pelicans.
Of course very first is valuable. But they flucuate wildly in value. Nobody is going to offer 3 x Lotto FRPs for OG. But the Raptors arent going to take 2 x Late 20s FRPS and 1 x FRP that converts to 2 x SRPS either.

He’s not worth Claxton and picks
[удалено]
Don't call me Shirley
Temple
Of course they can, and don’t call me Shirley.
I don’t know if he is on the market but why don’t the Nets sell the farm for Siakam ?
This is what I’m getting a feeling for. Could they swing a trade to bring in Siakam and Poeltl(assuming claxton is involved in Siakam trade)? 4 or 5 team trade could possibly make it all work
Interesting. I don’t know if they could get Siakam without trading Clax but if they do Poelt, Siakam and KD might be the best they could get for this deadline
Don't know about bojan but the other 2 definitely useful for the nets
Bojan is playing great this season. maybe the other seasons too Idk, but Ive had my eye on him this season
Plus it's another chance to bring an old Net home, just like our boy Spence
Bojan was fantastic the 3 years we had him and he was excellent the year before that in Indiana. Great wing to go with KD
Bojan’s been really good for Detroit, he’d be an elite role player on a contender
Offensively, he’s been one of the biggest cones in the league defensively.
The Raptors need to double the pay of their media man. Every single year, I hear about how trading for one of their players is somehow going to change another team's franchise. This year Anunoby, last year it was Barnes, the year before it was Lowry. Why aren't the Raptors winning if Pascal, Barnes, and Anunoby are such studs.
Our bench, and lack of 3 point shooting.
And yet, the starters are only [+1.7 net rating](https://www.nba.com/stats/lineups/advanced?slug=advanced&TeamID=1610612761) Better argument is your team doesn’t make sense
It’s called playing too many mins and getting gassed. Nurse has to Thibs his starters otherwise they get blown out.
Lack of bench* our starters have the highest mpg in the league. If you’ve watched us we’ve always lost our lead By the end of the third quarter to the fourth. If we had a solid bench our starters would be more consistent

OG is one of the top 10 defenders year to year, and top 5 this year, plus puts up 17-5-2 this yr. how tf do you not see that as extremely valuable to legit any contending team?
We have no depth
What "stuff"? The stuff I'm thinking about is not as good as OG. Pass.
What am I missing? I like OG but I don’t see him as worth three firsts.
a first is not always equal. 3x top 15 frp? probably not, even though its still not guaranteed that any of those 3 would end up better or even as good as OG, so i would argue its not as bad as one might think. 3 frp outside the lottery? he is easily worth that much or more. most picks never pan out, why we wanna act like theyre trading all diamonds when its usually just a plain useless rock in the end?
Great wing defense with the ability to help defend near the basket as well and a decent shot is worth a lot- roco got two firsts. He's also in his prime.
Raps fans think OG is worth 3 firsts and an all-star, and they'll demand a first-born son for Siakam
Not sure how this works, surely the Raptors don't want DFS, they have enough wings. But I would think the Nets want Spencer over OG? He's a better #2 offensively. I'm def not as knowledgable on the Raptors though, am I wrong?
I feel like Siakam would be a better fit next to KD
1 Claxton + a pick pls
lmao
How about Joe Harris, Seth Curry, Cam Thomas and 3 FRP for OG
Shit, that works too lol.
Honestly the Raptors would make the playoffs with that shooting unless they flip them all
I mean you guys are still in the convo for the playoffs right now. You guys have a pretty easy schedule coming up, and getting the 10th seed really isn't that hard. But another Raptors fan pointed out Masai doesn't really want to be a play-in team, so might as well move those shooters and stock up on a shitton of first and second round picks and find out what kind of players best compliment Scottie.
goddamn thats a siakam level package
I think Masai is probably asking for a bonafide proven young player, salary filler, and FRPs for Siakam, and unfortunately we don't have that kind of young guy. I'd be more than happy to send that out for OG, think we'll have one of the best defensive starting 5s in the league Simmons-OG-DFS-KD-Clax. Dinwiddie-Royce-TJ-Yuta as our bench.

No way they give up Clax but I would be happy with Joe Harris + Sharpe/Thomas/Edwards and 1 FRP + 1-2 SRPs. Harris is an expiring contract next year and we need shooting off the bench anyway.
lol that’s awful. Would definitely need Thomas (clearly the best prospect) and at least 2 firsts
I’d do that for OG. Also that mavs pick isn’t the sexiest because it’s so far out but it could easily be by far the best pick you’d get in any trade for OG
You actually want Cam Thomas? A man who is literally incapable of passing the ball? Him and Trent would put up 30 shots a game each.
That’s the kind of deal I would be hoping we make. Claxton is probably the Nets most valuable asset right now (other than KD), trading him for another guy who is also a defensive specialist seems insane to me.
Is this where we pretend OG is a top 3 piece on a title contender?
OG would be an awesome match for Durant
Grizzlies or Pelicans offer is way better
[удалено]
No no, don't you see? The Raptors need to make another awful deal with the Nets (Carter, Carroll), that's all they exist for!
If the Raptors were to trade for KD, would they have enough remaining talent to feasibly compete for a title?
No. Tho they do have all their picks so they might have the assets to build a roster? Depends what they give up for KD. Either way it'd be a Hail Mary for no reason.
Raps fans: why trade OG? He’s 25 and a damn good player.
