[Rumor] Jake Fisher: Raptors ‘still intrigued’ by Domantas Sabonis

[Kingz19]

I’m a no on Poeltls deal.

I don’t see how we make a deal work with Toronto unless they are sending a lot of picks. Which they probably would if Poeltl is the only way to make salaries work.

In moving off Domas I’d prefer more immediate cap relief coupled with picks and prospects. RJ Barrett isn’t really who I had in mind. Solid but..just lukewarm. I think Perry really likes him though

I don’t know if it was a legit discussion or some fan thing but I saw talk about an Atlanta deal that checks more of the boxes. It was something like Zinger, Riscacher and picks. Even though I don’t think Domas really fits there and Atlanta probably wants the Zinger expiring themselves.

Why are we supposed to give up our best player for garbage? Why make a trade when we lose the trade? Toronto is going to have to give up something to get something.

I’m not the one saying a trade with Toronto is happening it’s fake Sidery. Toronto won’t pay the price needed to take on Poeltl contract and we’re not just giving him up it’s a non story

We just have to approach the Domas situation from a position of strength. He is in his prime. He is signed long term. He is a really good player. If a deal makes sense, great. If not, hold on to him and reevaluate next year.

He also took less money than he could have if he waited until FA to re-sign on the basis of us being competitive and building something here. Beyond just "tanking" it's doing right by a player who signed here when we thought we were something else.

Do you think he’d rather be playing on a playoff team?

There have been reports of him wanting to “see the direction of the team”, meaning wanting to win.

Hes a vet with only so much prime left

And I’m not sure about the contract insinuation, he may have liked the guaranteed money and at that point we were a much better team

He was eligible to make more money if he waited based on years of service. But yes I think he'd rather play for a team that is winning and potentially playoff bound.

The issue is the reported teams with interest - Raptors, wizards, bulls, suns (if we believe this, seemed from a credible source)

If those reports are true, Raps may be the only team offering anything serious. Wizards are rebuilding and may be hoping for some type of lenient deal like they got with Trae. Suns have nothing….

Domas market, if looking at the reports of those teams, might not be where we want it

 

[KingsRUs]

^^^ Actually I wouldnt say Suns have “nothing”, there are circumstances where Green, who would I’m guessing be the main piece coming back, is still young enough to bet on… just not sure he’s what you would want foundationally for Domas

 

[Tetsujin]

They might try to unload Dick into this deal

I wouldn’t mind getting Dick. Even after unloading some of the vet’s this team is still short on perimeter spacers and he’s young enough to fit our timeline.
