I don’t think the Lakers would win a bidding war for OG. The Grizzlies and Pelicans reportedly offered 3 1sts for OG last trade deadline.

An analyst said this and it’s true, OG is a hall of fame talent based on what Toronto has turned down for him

Yes. Masai has dropped the ball every way possible after the Championship season.

How so? Would you mind explaining; I see nothing but praise on /r/nba for Masai so this is a little surprising for me to hear.

The post-championship bubble season was worthwhile. Nobody is going to blow up a 60 win quality team and arguably there was a pivot in place to a Pascal/Fred/OG led team but it didn't hit high enough of an offensive upside.

After that, he picked Barnes but aside from that it's been a slow erosion and a net outflow of draft picks just to be mid.

OG averages as much a DLo and is the best perimeter defender in the league... Bum deal for the Raptors.

[–] BlackScienceJesus@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Y’all have impossible expectations. OG is on an expiring contract. He could walk for nothing. There’s no chance the Raptors are getting a KD package like y’all expect.

I think 2/3 of those first from a Memphis ended up being in the late 20’s

[–] BlackScienceJesus@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So? We are talking about a player on an expiring contract. 3 1sts is still 3 1sts. They aren’t getting 3 lotto picks for OG.

Or went in the Marcus Smart trade. Memphis doesn’t have as many picks to throw around and it seems Masai wasn’t coveting Zaire.

If true Masai is crazy

If OG is as good as people say he is ten those first round picks would be worthless. In hindsight the Grizzlies seem like good picks but no one could have reasonably predicted them to be a lottery team with Morant.
