OG has a player option next year so I’d think if there’s no extension by the deadline you have to move him, don’t want to risk losing him for nothing like FVV
They need to know if OG is gonna re sign next yr. Hes young enough and fits well enough w the team that he’s fine to keep. If he doesn’t say he’s gonna re sign, if there’s any doubt, you move him. You can likely get two good assets and prolly a 3rd decent one for him. For Siakam it won’t be as good, prolly looking at like one pick and one young guy? Like IND for Buddy (he prolly goes to a 3rd team), McConnell, Mathurin, and one 1st. Something like that. The $ is tough w ATL. It’d have to be Hunter, Patty, prolly AJ Griffin, then whatever other filler…and maybe they get a pick swap in like 2029 out of it also. Also would see what I can get for Trent. Even if it’s a few 2nds I’d take it, you’re not re signing him. They have to pick a direction. That Poeltl trade was just so beyond awful man. T6 protected pick for an expiring deal. At least if it was maybe T10 protected in ‘24 and T8 in ‘25, they’d have more options. You can tank and make sure you get a T10 pick p easily. If they moved Siakam and GTJr they’d end up with a T10 pick. But getting to T6 is reallyyyy hard. You need the 2nd worst record to guarantee it, 3rd worst to be 93%. 4th worst is 81%. After that it gets really dicey. Vs T10, you’re 80% to keep it at 10, and at 9 you’re 97%. It’s way easier to get to 9-10 than the bottom 5 lol. TOR is literally at 10 right now.
They gotta update his height, he’s supposed to be 6’9.. he’s listed as 6’7 but a lot of other sites and raptors summer league during his rookie szn had him listed as 6’9. And Scottie himself always refers to himself as 6’9 as well as coaches
As a raptors fan I actually think that to improve the raptors team in real life they need a good point guard that’s good in the starting lineup or even off the bench. Maybe just get your pick from the spurs back because we can draft a good point guard that way
It’s just a video game etc…not criticizing you, love your vids. Just educating ppl. OG turned down 4/107M extension this offseason. You were saying you hoped you could get him for 25/yr. I can’t fathom OG getting less than like…4/130 bare minimum. Jerami Grant got 5/160 so he’s not taking
As a raptors fan that Siakam trade gives me nightmares. If Dejounte Murray is worth 3 FRP, & Rudy worth 5 FRP, then Pascal is worth 3 FRP Easily hahaha
Why dont you ever turn down trade frequency or turn on trade approval? You go for realism in your rebuilds but have these trades that would never happen like Jaylen Brown for Curry happening
Pascal Siakam is so overrated and why the Raptors are in a struggle. Dude is overpaid averaging 21 a game. Every time I head his name, I know he's going to be rated higher than he actually is.
I think the Raptors need to sell and move to a rebuild. They should trade Siakam, and consider trading OG when his value is very high.
Both have to go and you build around Scottie. It’s still hard to do because we get no love in Free agency. Gary Trent can go as well.

But the raptors front office is going to be stubborn with what they ask for. I'd be willing to bet they lose them both for nada.

Looking at this comment current day, bro got it right
The amount of pause worthy moments in this video talking about grady is insane. Great rebuild tho so far into the video (I have not finished it yet)

I'm not sure if you realized this when you did it but Lu Dort is also Canadian so signing him was pretty dope too!
Let’s goo! hoping for more 10 Year Rebuilds.
7:09 you should start making some players untouchable like Brunson in year just so it’s a little more realistic
an hour long rebuild W
I can't believe you didn't sign suggs
The content jus gets better every video!
Do you ever jump in the games anymore? Here the team looked super fun, would had been interesting to see couple minutes of playing...
Here 1 day before nba 2k25
Matt got that Mexican OT playing in the background😂 I like it
love u big dawg keep up the good work
Yesss I’ve been waiting for this

You may as well do a 10 year OKC rebuild and try to win like 8 rings lol
asked and delivered!!
btw what progression sliders do you use
Love it keep up the great work.
That Dick and Whitehead is quite a duo and a painful medical issue. Add some Toppin and it could clear it up 😅
Thanks for doing the Raptors rebulid!
Kentucky had 5 first round picks in the 2010 draft also
What a combo to start!
Whitehead and Dick!!!!
9:55 I said this just after the Siakam trade
The Dickhead Duo 😎😂
Why js it that teams like the bucks, Celtics and even suns always end up being lottery teams on 2k sims
Okc has Collier - SGA - Dybantsa - Buzelis - Holmgren hahaha what a lineup
That siakam trade was so ass, how was that a good move to you?
i couldn’t imagine raptors dealing Siakam for one first rounder, while losing second rounders and not getting any promising contributors in return
fr, but sadly most raptors fans believe that trading bro for a bag of chips and a mars bar is the right move to make, weak asf@@DenzelAyBeats
golden state rebuild trading klay??
Good morning.
We the North 🦖

Pascal is an expiring contract though
Siakam is expiring and the hawks trade was an overpay

Scottie's best minutes are at small ball 5.
Id actually like to see raptors pick dillingham
31:00
I would trade og and Pascal for ant
Still waiting for the Dick and Whitehead joke😂
Raps nation stand up
Lmaoo whitehead and a first for siakam? Matt please do better trades siakam is worth more than that
Sct Barnes
Yo
❤
I thought Siakam didn’t want to leave Toronto and that was the reason it’s being hard to trade him
He just wants to get paid the max money by staying
Let’s go

drake makes this team irrelevant
Let’s go
