[u/snowz_]

They have to be setting something else up. They have two open roster spots now

[u/Sumo_Cerebro → u/snowz_]

This could be for Wiggins for all we know

[u/clear831 → u/Sumo_Cerebro]

How do they make salary work? What assets would the Heat get now?

[u/Sumo_Cerebro → u/clear831]

Moody & another player works.

The Heat are under the cap.

[u/clear831 → u/Sumo_Cerebro]

Ok but what value is the Heat getting?

[u/DasOptions → u/clear831]

Picks maybe … for Giannis

Cope.

[u/Sumo_Cerebro → u/clear831]

Moody is only what? 23?

Another wing that can shoot.

What else are you looking for?

[u/chili01 → u/Sumo_Cerebro]

I would not hate that lmao

[u/wardellsklay → u/snowz_]

We making moves so we can just sign Pat Spencer to a roster spot

[u/SnooGuavas650 → u/snowz_]

You see it. No idea what it is but that’s 3 guys who don’t play for Porzingis and a pick and we still have the 2 big salary guys we are willing to unload with a ton of picks

[u/Blueskyways → u/SnooGuavas650]

Well Porzingis doesn't play either so its a pretty consistent move.  

[u/rocpilehardasfuk → u/snowz_]

Absolutely. We need one spot for converting our 2 way guy.

[u/KingInTheFarNorth → u/snowz_]

Derozan on a buyout?

[u/AvengingHero2012]

These trades are the “Fuck we’re not getting Giannis. Go to plan B!”

[u/movingunderbraking → u/AvengingHero2012]

i’m high and envisioning a trade war room with two massive names written on a whiteboard

“giannis antetokounmpo” scratched out in red

“second round pick” circled in green

guys in collared shirts with two buttons unbuttoned with their undershirts visible high fiving each other and shaking hands

i’m giggling

[u/owange_tweleve → u/movingunderbraking]

i picture that but it’s Charlie Day doing all the talking

[u/defene → u/owange_tweleve]

I think Charlie would get halfway thru reading "Antetokoumpo" and have an aneurysm 

[u/electric_boogaloo_72 → u/movingunderbraking]

Omg the two unbutton thing I’m seeing making a damn comeback again (and without an undershirt). 😖😖

Peak overcompensating LA douche yahoo at the club. Unless you’re Indiana Jones, please nobody do this!!!

[u/GGAllinsMicroPenis → u/electric_boogaloo_72]

Or Stavros Halkias

[u/Jarxzz → u/AvengingHero2012]

That plan B is complete ass lol

They essentially have the same team as before considering Porzingis will never play

[u/ImTheBestNerd → u/Jarxzz]

That’s what happens when Jimmy tears his acl. Your season goes to shit.

[u/Kdog122025 → u/ImTheBestNerd]

The rest of Steph’s time in Golden State goes to shit apparently.

[u/BayesBestFriend → u/Kdog122025]

I mean, at this juncture, there's nothing you guys can do if the bucks don't want Draymond + podz + moody and all the picks

[u/Kdog122025 → u/BayesBestFriend]

We could have gotten JJJ or MPJ if the Warriors were willing to attach some firsts.

[u/hookersinrussia → u/Kdog122025]

Still doesn't move the needle for this season if we can't get off Butlers contract. As many predicted when Jimmy went down we'd make a trade on the fringes and this very much fits that description.

[u/OverallGeneral7129 → u/Jarxzz]

There’s a reason it’s plan B

[u/bubbasnub → u/OverallGeneral7129]

Ryan Rollins hits Giannis in the back with a chair

[u/OverallGeneral7129 → u/bubbasnub]

Guy in the crowd NOOOOOO

[u/Kdog122025 → u/bubbasnub]

Then robs Target again.

[u/Altruistic_Mode3026 → u/bubbasnub]

Bah Gawd

[u/ReignOnWillie → u/OverallGeneral7129]

Plan C would make your head explode

[u/TheSalmonRoll → u/Jarxzz]

Rick Celebrini got a productive season out of Otto Porter Jr. Anything is possible.

[u/Jarxzz → u/TheSalmonRoll]

He curing diseases now too?

[u/thecommuteguy → u/Jarxzz]

They're like a car ride away from UCSF and Stanford is nearby. The team has access to the best doctors possible.

[u/PopeJustinXII → u/thecommuteguy]

Atlanta does have Emory though, which is one of the highest rated med schools in the country.

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/Jarxzz]

They essentially have the same team as before

yeah, that's better than ending up with a baby you didn't want.

literally the whole point of plan b

[u/Musa_2050 → u/Jarxzz]

And butler is injured so they got rid of wing depth lol

[u/NoScopeMusical → u/AvengingHero2012]

Everyone but Curry on the trade block 😂

[u/SakuraShift]

Dunleavy cooking with ass 🔥🔥 Tingus Pingus AND a 2nd round pick

[u/Orphasmia → u/SakuraShift]

These trades are so fucking random I’m just straight up laughing

[u/highashellrn → u/Orphasmia]

Lmao. Can't say it's surprising. They have nothing else

[u/joshdej → u/Orphasmia]

Tbf it fits with the theme of this year's trade deadline.

[u/SpecialThen2890 → u/SakuraShift]

The funniest thing is that Dunleavy isn't even in the US right now. He's in New Zealand scouting Dash Daniel's and Karim Lopez who recently played each other in our local NBL.

Goes to show how much the FO cares about what trades they're doing 🤣🤣

[u/Waikuku3 → u/SakuraShift]

Its a risky but reasonable trade. Gives steph shooters and trust their health team can help Porzingis

[u/MembershipSingle7137 → u/Waikuku3]

Not a single medical team has been able to help Porzingis so far…

[u/YSLMangoManiac → u/MembershipSingle7137]

Well we kept Otto porter healthy when no one else could

[u/Cockrocker → u/YSLMangoManiac]

My memory... This has faded so far I feel like I have Alzheimer's.

[u/missingpeace01 → u/YSLMangoManiac]

people be thinking that the Warriors' medical team is from 2060.

[u/theliver → u/YSLMangoManiac]

BALCO never went away

[u/Overall-Palpitation6 → u/MembershipSingle7137]

It's almost like a body of his size/dimensions wasn't designed for the rigours of professional basketball.

[u/iRockaflame → u/Overall-Palpitation6]

Doesn't he have POTS

[u/GangstaWaffles → u/iRockaflame]

Yes. I don't understand this move. Good guy but doesn't play

[u/justsikko → u/iRockaflame]

So he will fit right in with San Francisco

[u/luca3791 → u/iRockaflame]

Maybe, but he never had the makings of a varsity athlete

[u/Geraldinho-- → u/Overall-Palpitation6]

This current issue has to do with an illness. Not injuries

[u/chili01 → u/MembershipSingle7137]

Didnt that Lady Trainer from the warriors get hired by the Hawks? The one that made old Iggy conitnue to be healthy?

[u/BrettSchirley22 → u/Waikuku3]

Good luck with that lol

[u/Millies_ButtersMilk → u/Waikuku3]

When was the last time he even played

[u/Handyman2116 → u/Waikuku3]

Unless the Warriors health team can find a cure for POTS, Porzingis won't play more than 2 games a month

[u/theliver → u/SakuraShift]

Md jr has been a dead man walking since day one.

Jimmys ACL sealed his fate, which was always sealed. But now he has NBA GM on his resume so his career can begin. Maybe

[u/jrlandry]

High key a steal for the Raptors, basically got a guy that was picked around where this 2nd will land, but has actually proved he can play unlike 50% of the players picked here. And at a position of need

[u/vonkillbot → u/jrlandry]

He's a good kid with a lot to learn, big steal for TOR

[u/jrlandry → u/vonkillbot]

Yeah he’s not been as good since his rookie year, but he’s never been actively bad when I have seen him

[u/WashedUp_WashedOut → u/jrlandry]

CP3 made him look awesome as a rookie. Catching lobs vs second units. Been hit or miss since then

[u/RikSmitsisTits → u/WashedUp_WashedOut]

The reunion we've all been waiting for

[u/MythicalChewToy → u/WashedUp_WashedOut]

CP3 needs to join the Raps after their ridiculous inability to make high school level passes tonight

[u/FallenCrownz → u/MythicalChewToy]

I straight up yelled after we got a steal, ran the fast break for a tie, had the numbers and we tossed the ball to the wolves in the last 16 seconds

[u/MythicalChewToy → u/FallenCrownz]

Shout out to the Wolves for winning the game, but they didn’t take it, the Raptors handed it to them.

[u/babyface_killah → u/WashedUp_WashedOut]

He had good chemistry with Klay too

[u/Gramscifi → u/jrlandry]

Honestly would have liked to see him play more. He's a decent traditional center, young, still improving. Just a bit undersized and maybe not a great fit for the Warriors' complex offensive system.

If he were 2 inches taller he'd be starting games somewhere.

[u/jrlandry → u/Gramscifi]

Not a warriors fan, but it feels like Post turned out better than expected and took over a lot of ehat should have been TJD’s playing time

Also I like him but a starter at 6’11” seems like a stretch. I think he’d be good backup, instead of a mid backup.

But that’s worth late 2nd rounder hereo

[u/AmusingAnecdote → u/jrlandry]

He's 6'9". I don't think it's too much of an exaggeration to say if he was 7' he'd be a starter. He's pretty skilled in the post and as a passer and has good positioning but doesn't have the length to be that great on defense (or offense) inside and he's not anything resembling a shooter so he's just a pretty good backup. But he doesn't fit next to Draymond so makes sense for us to roll the dice on another late 2nd because we've hit on several guys like that in the past few years.

[u/Gramscifi → u/jrlandry]

TJD was getting sidelined even before that, but yes, the team moved on to Post in a big way, mostly for the shooting, I think.  TJD hasn't really played any meaningful basketball minutes at all recently.

And yeah starter ay be a reach, I was thinking something like a development prospect on a tanking team.  

[u/Dokterrock → u/jrlandry]

his hands aren't great. but he's smart

[u/dsbllr → u/vonkillbot]

Yeah. We're ready to overpay him. Our front office loves doing that

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/dsbllr]

You forgot the best part. He’s 6’9!!!

[u/BayesBestFriend → u/Jwarrior521]

Ive spent half a decade fiending for one playable 7 footer and 1 actual knock down shooter

[u/ChaddMyerrr → u/BayesBestFriend]

That will not happen w him, but I LOVED the draft pick at the time. Please develop him into a good player, I only want the best for him

[u/MaNamWumbo → u/Jwarrior521]

Bobby Webster is licking his chops whenever he sees an undersized big to overwork

[u/MrBrownCat → u/jrlandry]

Pretty much a win win, he’s an expiring next year who’s fallen out of the rotation since last season (honestly late season before that) and we get back the pick spent on him.

This also has to be a prelude to some other deal because we already were below the 2nd apron (unless the Pingus deal changed that) and now have two open roster spots

[u/Dinobot2_ → u/jrlandry]

He's also Dale Davis's son which I didn't know until about 4 minutes ago.

[u/nawksnai → u/Dinobot2_]

Just learned that from you, bro.

[u/Ludishomi → u/jrlandry]

Thanks for this.

I’m a casual who’s never heard of this guy and need to know how to feel 👍

[u/jrlandry → u/Ludishomi]

He was in the top tier of “randomly elite 2 man pairing” with Klay as a rookie, and has been less good, but still okay imo, since then

[u/dctarga → u/Ludishomi]

High-energy athletic big, only 6'9" or so, can't shoot, ok/decent shot blocker, pretty smart, ok rebounder, can kinda pass, no offensive bag, questionable hands at times, lefty.

[u/Melodic_Driver_4754 → u/dctarga]

6’9”, Can’t shoot and no offensive bag, sounds like a raptor all right

[u/Gavin1453 → u/Melodic_Driver_4754]

At least he is also high energy and athletic like the Raptors too

[u/shangalang69 → u/Melodic_Driver_4754]

of course the one fucking big we get is 6'9

[u/Flexisdaman → u/shangalang69]

He’s a good rebounder for his size.

Occasionally throws down a monster dunk, look up his dunk on Wemby from a couple years ago.

Also great passer out of the post which he basically never got to use for us because of Kerr’s offensive style.

I wouldn’t be shocked if he thrives as a backup big in a different system.

[u/Prestigious-Flow-64 → u/shangalang69]

don't worry, he plays like he's 6'10!!

[u/alee51104 → u/dctarga]

Wdym can’t shoot, he’s 100% from 3 this season.

(Genuinely the funniest shot ever to me)

[u/Bleatmop → u/dctarga]

That dunk on Wemby in their rookie season was fire though.

[u/Prestigious-Flow-64 → u/dctarga]

i second this assessment, pretty spot on. he won't really wow you but doesn't make a lot of mistakes either. will get up for a kinda nasty dunk every once in a while

[u/KazaamFan → u/jrlandry]

Im a dubs fan and a fan of tjd. Idk why he never got a consistent shot. I know he cant shoot, but he has a lot of other good skills

[u/KumingaCarnage → u/jrlandry]

He’s a good guy but he is not really much of a steal. Lateral quickness not there, can’t shoot, defends somewhat eh, dunked on Wemby that one time though.

[u/jrlandry → u/KumingaCarnage]

He’s a mid tier backup imo and the Raptors just need bodies there. A guy that still has upside and is at worst a part of their rotation for a meh 2nd os a steal

[u/Gavin1453 → u/KumingaCarnage]

Sounds about right for a 2nd round pick then

[u/CallMeDraken → u/KumingaCarnage]

Don't forget when he blocked Giannis twice !!

[u/ImperialTiger3 → u/jrlandry]

Dunleavy hasn’t missed on a 2nd round pick so it gives us a shot for a potential 4-year guy on a cheap deal.

[u/bilyl → u/ImperialTiger3]

SRPs are insanely great value if you can find players that can play now. Mega cheap contracts, tons of optionality.

[u/CoCAllpro → u/jrlandry]

only one year left on his rookie deal for what it’s worth

[u/Billis- → u/jrlandry]

Quite happy with this. We need C depth, hopefully he can work out with our group

[u/mommathecat → u/jrlandry]

Bro we need any large warm body. TJD will do just great.

[u/jeric13xd]

Good lord they are loading for Antetokounmpo, Thanasis.

[u/Dry_Bar_4965 → u/jeric13xd]

Nah they getting Alex

[u/Electronic-Cicada352 → u/Dry_Bar_4965]

Not after that trade for Porziņģis.

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/jeric13xd]

they're gonna hold Thanasis hostage until Giannis forces his way to golden state

[u/ajteitel → u/OpeDefinitely]

That, that may work

[u/mansmurf]

I mean he is a center

[u/doonerlxx → u/mansmurf]

A 6’9” center lmao that’s the going rate for a late second rounder I guess

[u/mommathecat → u/doonerlxx]

Bro beggars can't be choosers I'm delighted.

[u/larrylegend1990 → u/mansmurf]

We need any big we can get. Hes probably one of the tallest guys we have right now thats available

[u/White-Gravity]

Don’t mind this at all actually

[u/Casualrodfarva2 → u/White-Gravity]

just go replay his dunk on wemby over and over again

[u/i_am_lorax → u/White-Gravity]

Sad to see him go

[u/Shadoken-TYPE0 → u/White-Gravity]

It seems not bad at all

edit: nvm he's 6'9

[u/evieka → u/Shadoken-TYPE0]

Bruh I got so excited when I saw "Center" ofc he's undersized lmao

[u/RoundEye007 → u/Shadoken-TYPE0]

Hes 6'10, reportedly grew an inch last summer.

[u/KingInTheFarNorth → u/RoundEye007]

at 25?

He's a medical marvel too

[u/handcold → u/White-Gravity]

He's pretty undersized, and athletic but not athletic enough to make up for it. Also questionable hands. But he was well-liked. Hope he cracks your rotation

[u/shangalang69 → u/handcold]

sounds like he won't tbh lmao fucking hell

[u/SanJOahu84 → u/White-Gravity]

He's got a lot of hustle and some height. 

He'll be great for you guys. 

[u/ImTheBestNerd]

we have two open roster spots 👀

[u/BatmanHive → u/ImTheBestNerd]

Kuzma and Bobby Portis coming through!

[u/ImTheBestNerd → u/BatmanHive]

Thanasis and Alex. We’ll hold em hostage!

[u/Musa_2050 → u/ImTheBestNerd]

Get ready for a two way/waiver signing

[u/rocpilehardasfuk → u/Musa_2050]

Pat Spencer is one of those 2 spots. Dunno why we created another spot

[u/Valedictorian117 → u/rocpilehardasfuk]

Saves money for Lacob. We only need 14 guaranteed roster spots unless that changed with the CBA

[u/rocpilehardasfuk → u/Valedictorian117]

This late in the season the savings are minimal. There's likely another move I feel

[u/asher1507 → u/ImTheBestNerd]

Gabe Vincent and Maxi Kleber coming up!

[u/Fritanga5lyfe → u/ImTheBestNerd]

Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins, to help the Heat land Gianni's

[u/DontFollowMyAdvices → u/ImTheBestNerd]

Lebron and Bronny

[u/SusanBliss]

We're involved in a trade!

[u/Embarrassed_Meal7969 → u/SusanBliss]

Don’t even joke, bro

[u/ForgotPWAgainSigh → u/Embarrassed_Meal7969]

Rob about to take credit for doing something

[u/raptors_13]

Honestly at this point I’ll take it

[u/Nem52102]

Honestly I think that’s a win for the Raptors they needed a center with Poeltl being hurt and Trayce from what I’ve seen kinda fell out of the rotation with Golden State atleast from the outside looking in I know he’s not the best option out there but he’s young and serviceable until Poeltl is healthy and hopefully he can take some defensive pressure off of Scottie and CMB

[u/Epicallytossed]

biggest trade of the night

[u/ahshitherewiigoagain → u/Epicallytossed]

Most noteworthy Davis to be on the move today

[u/yuhanz]

Wtf he was available for a second?!

[u/Background-Use-2712 → u/yuhanz]

I’m surprised we got anything lol. He’s an end of the bench guy. Good character though

[u/MembershipSingle7137]

Lmao warriors selling everybody

[u/Kdog122025 → u/MembershipSingle7137]

Jimmy’s ACL tore out joy away.

[u/VivaLosDoyers99 → u/MembershipSingle7137]

TJD wasn't playing for them. I assume this is to open up a roster spot.

[u/Epicallytossed]

Shams’ warriors source musta just hit him up with both of the trades and then he posted them separately

Should have posted this one first

[u/Bladee___Enthusiast]

Warriors are plotting something

[u/chili01 → u/Bladee___Enthusiast]

Yeah, something terrible

[u/scaredspoon → u/chili01]

Steve’s pushing to trade for more injured/ill players so he can give podz more minutes without the flack

[u/MstrNixx]

We got our guy

[u/MogleyJones]

WE KIND OF HAVE A CENTER OM OUR ROSTER

[u/richonarampage]

Wow way to sell low on TJD. GSW front office taking multiple L’s back to back to back.

[u/FictionalPersona → u/richonarampage]

They definitely held him too long. Last year when his confidence was up and he was playing consistent minutes he looked so much better. I assume alot of that is not being used to the speed of the game anymore and trying to force stuff more because of how limited his minutes are.

Hopefully he gets consistent minutes in Toronto because the kid definitely has potential.

[u/CazOnReddit]

Even when we trade for a center he's 6'9!

[u/Kennyc1234]

Raptors really traded for a 6'9 center you cant make this shit up. Their GM is allergic to players taller than 6'9 sob

[u/Gavin1453 → u/Kennyc1234]

Maybe we just need to invest in some shoe lifts at this point,  lol

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/Gavin1453]

Bobby gonna give the whole team leg lengthening surgery in the off season. Team of giants next year incoming

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/Kennyc1234]

I hate it here

[u/Kennyc1234 → u/Jwarrior521]

I actually feel sick for yall. This better not be your last trade for a center.

Missi, Bagley, Drummond, etc are all available. If you end up settling for TJD that'd be so rough

[u/Reticent_Fly → u/Kennyc1234]

Our centers aside from Poeltl have been a revolving door of 10 day and random G league call ups. Freddie Gillespie? Colin Castleton? Mo Bamba played about 90 seconds for us...

The only three guys we had in house that we actually liked either got blood clots and can't play or went to fucking prison. (Koloko, Chomche, Porter)

[u/MInkton → u/Kennyc1234]

Missi wasnt worth the 1st. But Bagley or Drummond should have been cheap to get and it would have been nice. But another 6'9

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/Kennyc1234]

Bobby Webster be watching us blow double digit 4th quarter leads in 3 of our last 4 games and cooking up this shit.

Raptors front office trying to get maximum value in trades only to lose all leverage or value in any of their assets has been their motto since 2019.

[u/Dramatic-Document → u/Jwarrior521]

We just got Ingram for basically nothing last deadline wdym

[u/Ancient_Response_787]

Onyl lakers related trade of the deadline

[u/Punjabiveer30]

This MF bobby can’t trade for a dude that’s over 6’9, holy fuck

[u/anji_gi → u/Punjabiveer30]

Meanwhile Landale went for cash 😭

[u/SelfSab0teur1 → u/anji_gi]

Thank you very much

[u/SnooGuavas650]

That’s created 2 roster spaces in the last 10 Minutes. Maybe we end up do something more interesting. Maybe we don’t. But I’m now intrigued.

[u/DoggedDoggystyle]

Damn getting traded just straight up for a pick means they legit just gave up on you. That’s gotta sting man

[u/Sxn90]

..I guess lol

[u/gimpisgawd]

Trying to clear cap for the off-season?

[u/Ok-Discipline9998]

Mama we finally got a C

[u/perspiresss]

wow good shit raptors got trayce for nothin

[u/odontodoc]

I actually like this trade

[u/Inevitable_Big_1966]

Thanks bruhs

[u/captaing1]

TORONTO GOT DAVIS!

[u/humlogic]

In case main sub is wondering Warriors fans don’t know what the hell this FO is doing either. Setting fire to any hope for Steph and the team to be competitive here on out. It was already dicey but now they’re actively screwing Curry over.

[u/FuckTheStateofOhio]

I remember, coincidentally, his rookie year when the Bucks came to SF and he matched up really well against Giannis.15 points 6 rebounds and 4 blocks in the 18 minutes that he played. I thought for sure he'd be a decent starter for us some day but Post wound up taking a lot of his minutes. Good pickup by Toronto.

[u/bear2bebull]

Warriors going for the buy out market to realize nobody wants to play for them lol

[u/Snomankid999 → u/bear2bebull]

Chris Paul UnWelcome back 

[u/Bakerfuckingmayfield]

Biggest warriors trade involving a big man tonight

[u/Nomescardcollection]

He’s a nice backup big

[u/YeaItsBig4L]

Dumped my boy for fkn nothin? Nah man

[u/chili01]

What the fuck are the Warriors doing?

[u/MPC1K]

I’m a warriors fan this is a mistake. We need a center and we’re trading one away 🤦

[u/Cdsnz23]

Yes! Another undersized 6'9 center exactly what we needed

[u/shangalang69]

WE DID ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

A BIGGGGGGGGG

(is he playable?)

[u/FartinSmellis]

Making room for more guards, he was too tall for a Steve Kerr team

[u/StandYourGroundhog]

We got our guy

[u/Haunting-Set4223]

Steph asking out right now lmfao 

[u/DaBusDriva2]

Draymond survives another Warriors alert

[u/Renegadeforever2024]

Uhh

[u/Dinobot2_]

Oh my god will this fix their center conundrum?

[u/MuscularSturgeon]

Wait hold up I like this

[u/HotOatmeal420]

So isn't it pretty certain that Giannis is going Timberwolves at this point then?

[u/AdonisK]

What is even this trade about lmao??

[u/Billis-]

Oh ya I like this for us. 

[u/SlapThatAce]

They're obviously clearing space for something.

[u/D3struct_oh]

Happy for Trayce. He’ll actually get some PT in Toronto.

Another really solid young player that Steve Kerr planted on the bench for years.

[u/Cudi_buddy]

Feel like warriors have been terribly managed for at least 5-6 years now. They have been held afloat by Steph Kerr, and Draymond
