1. Why do they need to get rid of Barrett ? Why can’t they trade poertl , 1st round pick, dick for sabonis ?

   If we get sabonis and keep rj this team will be a contender

   Sabonis
   Barnes
   Ingram
   Barrett
   Quickly

2. Michael Scotto: Domantas Sabonis trade talks between the Kings and Raptors, which would include RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji to Sacramento, have paused. Toronto is concerned about giving up too much first-round draft pick compensation to move Jakob Poeltl to a third team.

3. Sabonis is 6'10 does not solve our center problem and is very expensive at close to 50 million per season. We need 7 footer or we will continue to get pounded around the rim by bigger teams and increase injuries to our forwards
   we pit against other teams bigs

4. This is a bad trade mark my words

5. Bennyyyyy boyyyyy 😊

6. We should have gotten Jaren Jackson jr. That would have been perfect!

7. Stop including Ja’Kobe in the Sabonis

8. This isn't the year, just be patient and get something done in the summer. We don't need to trade one of our most reliable players (R.J) for a guy who is injured.

9. Why can't we just bring some center from euro instead of giving up RJ for sabonis ? RJ is the one of the key for raptors success

10. Sabonis won’t make the team any better as he is a pylon on defense

11. DON'T give up a 1st. RJ, Gradey, Ochai & Temple and two 2nd round picks. Keep Poeltl (restrict his minutes upon return), and add Sabonis. That's a fair deal for both teams. RJ is a great player.

12. I Hate it.

13. Goga from the magic is available as well as Dayron and Gafford, we don’t need to trade Jak, just sign one of those guys then when Jak gets back we’ll be better, then let’s deal IQ and Ochai for Ayo dosumni and a 1st

14. What is the fascination with this guy? Trade would make the team top heavy. Makes no sense.

15. Biggest chance of great players are first round drafts. Don't lose to many.

16. Ok so let me get this straight we give away Jakob and RJ for Sabonis, And we think we are a better basketball team?

    Just curious…

17. I think the raptors should probably acquire someone like Neemias Queta from the Celtics. They have 3 Centers now, and have a G-League Center – Amari Williams.
    I think Queta would be great for tbe Raptors. He is on a cheap contract, and is averaging 10 and 8, whilst being among the top 5 most efficient players. He also has 1.3 blocks a night

18. Just wish Raps went for more players with the letters
    D
    K
    W

19. I would like to add Derozan and Westbrook in the transaction.

20. This DS major trade sucks!
    If we are going to send firsts I want younger, cheaper and core depth:
    No first unless it is Jak going out.
    We would be smarter to do 3 teams with Chicago and N.O. that sends out JP RJ Ochai & Jamison for Zack C, Jalen Smith, Ayo D, Patrick W. Then JMO + Julian Phillips = Yves Missi

    Now we would send 2027 + 2029 top 5 protected for 2 seconds from Chicago in those years. Add 2-3 seconds to N.O.
    All teams under tax. Maybe Jak when healthy is better and both Jalen S and Yves but depth matters any you get diversity in C play.
    Tor rest of 26: PG IQ, JS, Ayo D; SG Ayo, Ja’Kobe, GT; SF BI, GD, CMB; PF SB, CMB, PW; C Jalen S/ Yves M and Sandro. We go from small wing heavy to big wing heavy but I think most wings can play 2-4 and so you save Ayo more for PG some in 2 PG lineups.
    We could try and buy out Zach for $3 mil less and he could try and join a contender while we add AJL to playoff roster.

21. Do not trade RJ he actually wants to stay.

22. im getting tired of your fake headlines that you put in thumbnail then just say the same old thing everyday please just stop this crap and just show us whats going on with raptors no fake headlines no making up fake storylines just raptors basketball

23. I would not trade for Sabonis i would not trade RJ this is actually so stupid

24. Just a thought if we are giving Memphis our 2026 first why not add one or two 2nd rounders and go after Edey and a guy like Cam Spenser who has .458 3pt percentage. We send both Quickley, Poetl and Grady to the Memphis our 2026 first, 2nd from 2027. We get Morant, Edey and Cam Spencer. Not sure if they would give up Spencer you could substitute for GG Jackson. Memphis wants to take on bad money we have bad money and picks. Raptors go way under the tax with this deal and Memphis still has almost 25 million in cap space to take on contracts for picks. Then use Ochai and 2nd to get a 2nd center

25. Raptors should go all in to get sabonis and morant

26. Just get Missi damn it lol

27. If the Bulls are open to Poetl why not just send him to Chicago with the 2026 1st. and Get Jalen Smith and Ayo Dosunmu. Raptors upgrade AJ Lawson. From what I understand Dosunmu is asking for a lot of money and they might be willing to part ways with him. Maybe add another filler player from the Bulls and send Grady, that is a first and young player

28. I hate any scenario in which we trade RJ Barrett.

29. What about Zubac??

30. I heard a commentator said he is not good Rj is better than him ,stop the stupid Ness we cannot the best man on the team to get a worst one

31. This is not good. It's reactionary to what the Knicks did at this point. Ugh… just pay the tax.

32. i dont see why we need a Sabonis on the Roster unless we plan to pick him up and trade him off-season. Mamu doing a great job as back up C and we have CMB ramping up. thoughts?

33. i dunno how it would work but i really want malik monk on our team too

34. I don't like this deal at all. Jakobe, Gradey, RJ and Abaji … for Sabonis? His impact isn't that good. Also, I'm pretty high on Jakobe. He's a great defender and has good instincts and just isn't getting enough playing time to get into a rythm. I think he should play more than Shead… who I would be ok putting in a trade package.

35. Great video ben 🎉🎉🎉

36. The Raptors GM better do a much better job on Sabonis than he did with Yak. Is Sabonis healthy. He might also have a broken back. They are going to throw away a play maker and 20 points plus a 1st for this guy. This will be a disaster!

37. get klay and gafford for rj, ochai, grady IQ 2 2nd rd

38. Raptors always looking for big names but hesitate in giving picks…center is must the cheapest Missi give them 1st rd or 2 2nd

39. Eh… not a real fan of Sabonis. He isn’t healthy and he’s small and wouldn’t fair well going against tougher teams like, Philly, Pistons and Knicks. Raps need to look big and tough.

40. Raptors should probably just trade for Luka
