I refreshed Twitter and saw Toronto Raptors and thought this was the Kawhi trade.

Wait till you send a pick for Kawhi, he gets banned from the league and Silver gives you back a second

You know who could use a legit 2nd/3rd string 4 that can pass, shoot and somewhat defend and can offer him a $24m/3-4yr contract?

and somewhat defend

I love Mamu but he and any semblance of the word “Defend” do not mix in any way, shape or form hahahaha. He’s one of the most clueless guys on that side of the ball i’ve seen in quite a while.

I don’t expect him to stop anyone, he’ll be fine against other 2nd/3rd stringers though 😂

Inevitable, unlikely we get him back but he’s exactly the kinda guy you’d want for the regular season, I will miss him dearly if he leaves.

If we can clear up some money, we can indeed give him around 10 I think.

I don’t think we’re gonna do that though. The money saving guy (Gradey) is needed for salary matching the Kawhi trade lol

There’s always other ways. If you get Kawhi, and you wanna try to keep Mamu, you can maneuver things.

I’m actually going to miss Josh Green. He really became a knockdown shooter from the corner and his energy off the bench was great. Can really make some plays defensively with his hustle.

Amazing for the regular season. Absolute steal for the price the Raptors paid. He deserves the bag he about to collect.

Will be interesting to see if another team has a better fit to be able to use him in the playoffs. Raptors couldnt figure it out

At the rate he is likely to command in free agency, it will be hard to have him unplayable in the playoffs. You can’t have 10M+ riding the bench and be successful.

¹¹⁄₅ on 39% from 3 in under 22 mins a game. Is he a shitty defender? Seems good, looks like the exact kind of player Rafael Stone would ignore.

I remember his game against the Blazers in January because my buddy and I were there and we saw his stats towards the end of the game and were both like “YO! Who the f is this guy!?”

Had never heard of him and he put up 22/6/4 and ³⁄₆ from 3 against us lol.
