Curious question, if you get tickets for tomorrow, are they good for the second game as well? Like as traditional doubleheaders down in the States?
-
I love Barnes as well, though I would imagine any trade for KD has to include him. Barnes will be a solid player moving forward no doubt, though very small chance he becomes a superstar who could carry a team. I agree on Siakam as well. Sell high after he had a rebound season and free up some money from his contract as well. Last year at this time his contract was looking like a disaster. If Durant comes in, no need for Siakam anyways.
-
He played 55 games last season. If you can load management with him like the Raps did with KL, and ride him hard in the Playoffs, don't see that being an issue. Play him 60-65 games, sit him back-to-backs or against teams that really suck. I'll take that gamble.
-
Yeah but at 50M-60M AAV? haha
-
I don't care about Barnes. You would definitely have to trade him in the deal. I prefer trading Siakam over OG and VanVleet obviously. So it depends on who that second piece is with Barnes.
-
You aren't going to win a championship with Barnes and Siakam haha. Unless the Raps add another elite player or both Barnes/OG turn into Top 5-10 talents. If the Raps get a chance at KD, do it! Even from a financial standpoint, the money, jersey sales, hype he would bring to the Raptors. Definitely worth it from a roster perspective and business perspective as well.

An important question: how long can Ohtani be a two-way player for and perform at a solid-elite level for both? Does he give up pitching half way through his contract lets say if he suffers a major injury and just focusing on being a DH? As a front office, you would want to make sure if you're handing Ohtani a $500 million contract that he hits and pitches for majority of that contract. If he isn't pitching like an ace or No. 2-3 starter in his later years, that contract could be a disaster.

I was a frustrated Archer owner as well. Cut ties with him because he wasn't providing solid ratios and never qualifying for Wins. I also had Quintana earlier on and wish I cut ties with Archer before I did Quintana, regretting that one now. -
Raptors sign Chris Boucher to three-year, $35.25M extension. Nice to lock him up for another three more years. I think he has more upside for sure and was solid in the Playoffs. If he can take the next step and average 15PPG with 7-8 RBP, that would be sweet.
-
Also, Deandre Ayton and Rudy Gobert could be traded. One of them would be great fits on the Raptors as well. This NBA offseason will be fun for sure!
-
Barnes for sure + I'm assuming one of OG, Siakam or VanVleet + a bunch of draft picks I would imagine.
-
Inflation haha

A lot of people thought Leonard was going to be a drama queen, refuse to play his best, or be a cancer in the locker room, though quite the opposite. Durant makes the Raptors contenders for the next 2 to 3 years for another NBA Championship. He's one of the top 5 players in the league. Would love to see the Raptors acquire him! Masai isn't afraid of making big bold deals. He did it with Leonard, I would love to see him do it with Durant.

I could name a couple of guys I would swap Archer for. Even relievers with SP eligibility. -
Wasn't one of his favourite players growing up Vince Carter?

Would love to see Castillo given a shot in the rotation. Reminds me of Kelvim Escobar. -

Chris Archer ain't worth owning in a 20-team league. Lucky if he goes 5 innings to qualify for a win and doesn't provide elite peripherals or K/9 to make him roster worthy. -

Raptors should put together a package for Durant.
-
A lot of top NBA players are drama queens and at the snap of their fingers, can demand trades or create their own super teams just like that. It's a superstar driven league. You don't see it in the MLB or NHL. The NBA offseason is always fun though.
-
Yeah so they will have to be creative and move a big piece in order to free up some salary cap and/or to go after an elite goaltender.

Some BP arms who the Blue Jays should target: Seranthony Domínguez - 11.39 K/9 Wil Crowe - 9.55 K/9 Matt Moore - 10.35 K/9 David Robertson - 12.10 K/9 Tanner Rainey - 10.80 K/9 Adding an arm like Seranthony Dominguez would be a huge upgrade and he would still be under team control. Price likely will be high, though the Phillies likely will be sellers at the deadline. I love Moore because I think if you can get him to lower his BB/9 and work with Pete Walker, he can turn into an Andrew Miller light who you can use for more than 3 outs. -

Luck is definitely involved in constructing an elite bullpen. You need to get lucky with some arms whether developing guys, converting failed starters in your system, free agent signings who are potential rebound candidates, minor league free agent signings or through trades. I don't think the answer is just to throw unlimited money at the bullpen by signing middle relievers to 3 or 4 year deals or by trading a bunch of top prospects for bullpen arms at the trade deadline. Even by doing that doesn't guarantee you a solid bullpen. Though given where the team is and the core in place, the bullpen can be the last area where this team spends some money or makes a big trade to push them over the hump. The focus should be having a roster that is built to go deep in the Postseason. Most likely the Blue Jays will grab a Wild Card spot, though given the way the roster is now, this team isn't built to go on a deep Postseason run.
