I think he's overrated and long term Ayton definitely will be the better player of the two.
Yeah, but Ayton isn’t American and can’t play for Team USA
The Schroder situation is interesting. Can't really see where he lands now. His best option might be a 1 year deal with a player option so he can get back on the market again after rebuilding his value.
Sixers could do with him.
Birch, GTJ, VanVleet, and Siakam will all have their contracts expire at the same time. Looks like we're committed to the GTJ-VanVleet-Siakam-OG core for now and will look to supplement that unless things change.
Oh, and Masai's announced his stay in Toronto.
Vice chairman means that he's second to Larry Tanenbaum in the Toronto Raptors hierarchy (and basically second to him in all of MLSE, the group that owns various Toronto sports teams, as a result).

Ya I was saying it more from a general NBA standpoint.
I'm surprised Reggie Jackson is still unsigned. He absolutely balled out in the playoffs and has shown he can make an impact.
I am curious to understand what is in his brain. He was offered $84million for 4 years by the Lakers and turned it down. He was widely accepted as an overpaid player at $16million per year when he was with Atlanta and had one good year with OKC as a sixth man which brought up his value and got Lakers to trade for him with a very late first rounder which wasn’t that expensive either. He had a rather average year with Lakers again. What made him think he was going to receive an offer of substantially more than $21million per year on the market?
Apparently being offered $22million for two years by Clippers with whom he’s been training for the last few weeks despite not having a contract. Seems a bit high, I thought he was just about at MLE at best and maybe even another minimum deal.
Him & ‘bron share the same hairline I see.Whatever he was thinking, I'm sure he's like this know.
Iggy's coming home. 
Me too.
Also he plays for the Lakers, and would have had a decent title shot.
But I guess, 21 million per year in LA is not as much as it sounds - for him.
Yeah he’s probably going to get like $10million for one year now and will have to hope he can get an offer close to that one next year. Remind me of when Noel turned down $20million or so per year by Mavs to play out the next three seasons on close to minimum. Fortunately for him he was able to get back to a good level and earn this $10m+ deal he just got at Knicks.
He bet on himself, like John Collins did with the Hawks, but Schroeder wasn't up to the challenge. He wanted option 1B type money, but he's at best the 2nd option on a good team, not a contender. Think Magic also called him out and said he didn't have the Laker Mentality or have what it takes to be a true Lakers player...which is right as he got exposed in the Playoffs. Didn't step it up or at least put it on the line. With them signing Brodie, you at least see the mentality and drive needed. Not that I agree that Brodie is a good fit with the Lakers, but he's never afraid to try to take control of the game. Should be able to do that with AD or LBJ on the bench.
What’s all the talk about Boston signing Beale and ending up resigning Horford, what a crock of shit..
Who have the Celtics got so far does anyone know?

2 years 22 million to Clippers.

Horford deal was a money move to get Kemba’s long term contract off the books as he was owed more than $60m over two years while Horford is an expiring. They have so far picked up Josh Richardson from Mavs, brought Kris Dunn and Bruno Fernando as less impactful additions and signed Kanter to one-year deal.

Such a shame the way Boston fell apart, especially with Isaiah Thomas. But they must have advised him to play through that injury, which sure looked to have ruined his career. If that’s how it went, they deserve the fall from grace.
Being able to turn a hobbled Thomas into Kyrie Irving, then picking up Hayward, looked like the beginning of a long period of success. Funny old game.

Who’s Kenna? Do you mean Kemba?
So Celtics traded no one of worth again, they need to get better players if they want to hold on to Tatum..

They don't have cap space and can't use their full MLE unless they want to be hard capped. If I'm not mistaken the best way to go for them is to reset their cap situation this year.
Kyrie glad to be shot, and Hayward never offered much. Trade for Giannis would be better..
Am I right in thinking the Lakers signed Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard? Or did I dream that shit..
That's a big contract, but he's a very consistent player even at his age. The Heat just have to hope that Lowry doesn't decline too much.
They did.
Celtics offering Marus Smart a $77m extension, I thought he was off..
Russell Westbrook will win them a ring alone..
Is that sarcasm?
Westbrook is a great player..
And they end up hanging their hats on Tatum and Brown who were supposed to be 4th and 5th options at best!
Durant and Westbrook were unlucky not to win it all, besides that one season with Harden they never really had a third piece who could deliver much. Deserves more respect I think.
Tatum put up a 50 point game 3 times last season and Brown was avg more points a game than Tatum before his injury both very young as well, just need a top player to play along with them..
Agreed!
I‘m truly happy, he’s a gentleman and smart, knows his job the more control he get the better off Toronto will be. I have faith in him to build another great team.
LBJ really wants his 6th ring to match MJ and even pass him.
