Davion was good, best perimeter defender on the team. Sad to see him go
Him and Shesd are pretty much the same players. You simply don’t need both.
So sad for Davion
But it was inevitable with Jamal shead
PJ Tucker was drafted by the Raptors in 2006 and has come and gone like 4 times in 20 years
Pj Tucker in his Cj voice from San Andreas gta "oh shyt here we go again" 😂😂😂
This Tucker deal is just a cap move. If Miami Buys him out - they are over the cap apron. If we buy him out - it's fine - we're still under apron. Miami pays the cash to buy him out and gives us a second. All good. Davion was not consistent at all offensively and we needed that. And the reality is Raps probably weren't going to re-sign Davion in the offseason - he lost his spot to Jamal Shead - it's that simple.
If they traded Boucher in an Ingram deal Kelly is still on the books next year ( now in NOLA ) and they need his 12M to finish signing Ingram. Boucher still expires.
Fully agree. W take
Well said, thank you for the insightful explanation!
Boucher also said he wants to remain a raptor and is committed to the team so it works out well because of the salary is willing to take to be here
@@biblereadings7617to be able to resign Ingram Boucher is likely let go in the offseason. Can’t afford to keep him.
@@biblereadings7617 It would be cool - let's see if it happens.
I think Battle gets a full contract now and Orlando Robinson will get the 2 way spot from these moves
Dude is a defensive beast. Miami is going to be good for him
I liked Davion. He upped the team defensive intensity.
Good luck to him.
PJ using Toronto as a bus stop again. Lol
Who is the 3rd string PG now?
probably give jameson battle the open spot since we got BI and gave away 2 guys.
tanking means gleague players getting more minutes or starting even
Shead better and PJ nice in the corners and gives us grit
@@GodsArmy00 we arent gonna keep pj tucker
@ u think we flippin or letting go
Davion was a solid player and a consumate pro. Great guy to have on a playoff team as a defensive dog backup PG. We're just not there as a franchise, and with Davion's looming free agency and the need to re-sign Ingram while staying under the tax, there was unfortunately just no room to keep Davion. We also have his replacement in Shead waiting in the wings, with a glut of guards on the roster. Moving him for another 2nd rounder just adds to that Jalen McDaniels trade tree which now includes Shead, the POR 2025 2nd round pick, and now this (rumoured) LAL 2026 2nd round pick. That's 3 2nd rounders for Jalen McDaniels...lol!
Davion was never the long-term back-up PG. He was essentially a bridge back-up PG similar to a bridge QB in football. It's a good move to create flexibility and remove the redundancy between him and Shead.
Davion, Bruce and Kelly gone likely leads to more losses. Especially if Boucher is also moved today.
The ethical tank masterclass.
Davion was the best player on our team this season. A real diamond in the rough. Never been more sad to see a player leave our team. Wish they could have a found a way to keep him.
you're delusional
@@LelandReview He's been great. But maybe the fourth best player.
Not Davion 😢
Ben working OT
so early we on 360p baby!
Well it's clear the Raptors are sticking to tanking with this trade, good for Davion. You will be missed
The tank continues for this season
I was actually hoping that we would find a way to keep CB. He's gotten a lot better under Darko. His height, length, athleticism, energy and Canadian pride would be greatly missed.
This must be a record for the amount of times a player goes back and forth to the same feam 😂
I think d'angelo russell has the title right now lol
I'm actually pissed off by this why send a 26 year old good defender for a second and a grandfather
For a roster spot and salary flexibility
Exactly smh
It was good for the salary brother, PJ was a buyout and also Mitchell not even starting shead doing good so it was a good trade
@andrewramballe4608 this guy defense was so contagious.bad fucking trade.I rather see quickly go
@HelioGomes-sj9gl Raptors going to drop on defense just watch
Shead > Davion, both great. Shead's the man, became one of my favourite players on the roster real fast. Been asking for Ingram for years just weird timing unless we're planning to push for at least 2nd round playoff exit next year. PJ Tucker trade makes less sense, maybe a good vet like Temple I'm not sure. Also Ingram has a lot of Scottie skills, get them training together it'll benefit both of them. Now I'm hoping we get Obi Toppin at some point. Hoping Boucher retires a Raptor.
I told you from day one CB is raptors CB would not get traded because raptors need winning culture and CB brings that energy showing he can be a part of that .
Davion is a good player, many teams could use him
Thank you for sacrificing your sense of reality for our benefit.
Nice one , keep the pick and waive tucker , not a bad move at all 🎉
there wasn't going to be an extension with Mitch anyway so I'm good with 2nd rounder for previous McDaniel's trade.
Davion was fantastic on Defence, so very hard to trade away though he is on last year of his contract.
So ujiri is cooking ? Come on men …..we r last in the league. No cooking …lol
As much as I really like Davion, he is in an expiring contract and can sign with any team off season. So you ask your self the question, do we lose him for something [we got 2nd round pick now], or do we lose him for nothing. Masai and upper management are not stupid. If they have an inkling that you are not signing with team, you are out--Fred V, OG, Pascal, list goes on
Loved Davion! Wish him the best!
PJ just coming by to pick up a few things he left here in 2007..
sad davion is gone 💔
Solid deal, question the pj part but buying out is an option. I get it, Mitchell was good but we have a younger, cheaper and in my opinion a more offensive gifted option in shead.
Hope we can find $5 mil for CB as 5th big so only plays when a C or PF is out. If not would offer Vet min to stay and if he can find more and wants to go everyone understands.
The Tucker deal was to give shead more than likely a guaranteed contract. Why people don’t like the Ingram deal is strange. We only gave up more than likely a high 20s draft pick and a second and guys that literally play 15 mins night. How could you hate that on a rebuilding team, people are acting like BI is gonna walk on the court tomorrow and play, he hasn’t been practicing since December 7th you’ll most likely see him debut after the all star break.
Davion is better than zero defense Quickley
Terrible trades .. Masai needs to find new work
Needs appear to be a backup big and a backup pg.
One of them could be dealt with today via Boucher. Or a pick is acquired that helps fill both spots in tge summer.
Why Davion!!! He is such a good player,good at both ends of the floor 😢 I thought he was the second holiday 😢
Offensive game was horrible
They believe in Jakobe. Now Davion's minutes go to him.
Davion is bad on offense bro
lmfao what? he legit is nowhere near holiday level, his ceiling is certainly below that. he was not in the long term plans, better to give shead more mins and get something valuable out of davion while we can
@@7jcjg off course holiday is way better,but yall know what I mean, he’s good at both sides of the foor,ok maybe not nvm
Sorry to see Mitchell go. who knows maybe he resigns in the summer
This is dumb this guy gave the Raptors swagger
oh we have a kid who judges trades based on 'swagger' lmfao!
Mitchell wasn't going to be brought back next year, as Shead needs PT and we need tax room to sign BI. Lose Mitchell for nothing, or get a 2nd round pick, were the 2 options. And you think the dumb option is getting the 2nd round pick?
Replace PJ's face with a dollar sign. PJ isn't here to play, only to be bought out.
Jamal is averaging similar stats to Davion in less minutes, is younger and cheaper. This is no disrespect to Davion but its obvious why this move was made
He will blossom in Miami.
still need to trade boucher for an expiring to clear 50 million to pay brandon ingram in summer.
$50 million is rich. I think the first number is a 4.
He was asking for 36 and Masai didn't trade for him to pay him 50. Plus he can only make 48 lol. Again, utmost confidence in pure speculation
@@YakDPOY no ingram is making 36 now, the pelicans offered 40 and he rejected it. so masai trading for ingram is gonna pay him 45-50 million a year for 4-5 years.
@@YakDPOY it was reported pelicans offered a raise from 36million he making now to 40 million a year. and ingram rejected that. it was why he was traded. if he was willing to take 36, the pelicans would have signed him.
@@YakDPOY ingram will get 45-48 a year with a 16 percent raise every year like all players getting a max. last year siakam signed a max starting at 43 which will pay him 55 million in his last year.
Well I was right I said earlier the Raptors were not done welcome back again Pj Tucker for the rest of the season lol
This move makes little sense to me. I'll be curious to see what Davion's next contract looks like. Fabulous defender, great energy, reasonable back-up PG. I get that they want to prioritize Shead, but Davion seems like a good affordable investment.
Its just cap room. Retooled our team and still got more to go no doubt over the bext year or two. Would be foolish to hit the repeater tax this early
so many bad takes, davion is a great defender, if he develops a half decent consistant 3 he would be a hot commodity, however atm he is one dimensional and are we going to re-sign him at 8-12 Mill a season, definitely not after BI trade, this is purely a 2nd for someone that wasnt re-signing, great professional, defender and a from looks of it person, good luck davion.
We weren't re-signing Mitchell. We have IQ and Shead at the PG position and we aren't paying 8-12 to our 3rd PG. Better luck on his next team, if he can learn to get buckets consistently he would be a good PG somewhere.
What the heck this a young guard? For PJ Tucker??
3rd Time Back to Toronto for PJ..I wonder why we getting PJ for unless using him for Trade tactics or for a Voice Vet to boost Locker Room..
Purple Gorillaz Was Here. Peace.
thats saddddddd
We need a backup centre badly, do we keep PJ or buy him out for a younger player next year?
Robinson is gonna be our back up hahah tucker is going to be bought out
Tucker will retire, not play back up big at 6'5" and 40
I prefer to have two 2nd round picks instead of PJ Tucker.
Same
Nobody would offer anything for PJ. He's old and hasn't played all year.
The over use of the word "cooking" to emphasis (big/huge/explosive), and this ain't it!
Awful trade - I get taking on money and getting a draft pick, but what did we get for Mitchell? The 2nd is for taking on salary (you are welcome Heat), where's my player or comp for Dave? Don't tell me cash consideration, because that's why it's an awful trade. Davey-boy is worthy.
Ayyeeeee good post baby
Scottie can be the 3rd PG if needed
I love PJ Tucker
if boucher flipped for mitchel robinson before 1pm, look for jakob poeltl to be traded before 3pm for a 1st and a young player and expiring. likely candidate is hawks with clint capella and bufkin and kings 2025 1st
Nobody trusts that Mitchell Robinson can stay healthy. Jak is staying - hopefully. I don't see anyone giving the Raps fair compensation for Jak. He fits Toronto more than anywhere else now that LAL has their man.
@@jeffreym.8957 you gonna see with the worst spacing in the league when ingram healthy, why jakob poeltl dont fit. they will be the worst 3 pt shooting team in the league with the worst spacing.
@@giovanni-ed7zq The NBA is going to be reducing the incentive to take 50 threes every game from what I'm hearing. But the fact that you think you're more knowledgeable than Masai and Bobby regarding team fit cracks me up, though... 😆
@@jeffreym.8957 until it happens its all rumor and talk.
PJ is 39 years old. I thought Masai was trying to build a young team. PJ has maybe 6 months of playing time.
He's a buy out what happened is sac gave us a second to take Mitchell and we got a half a season sent him on his way for a second 2nd round pic 😂
I think our defence just got significantly worse with these trades.
Buy out for PJ, Boucher might be next
I hate this trade
Ben cooked here
Extend Thin Man...Bench Capt.
Why????
Mark my words. Tucker will be a key part of this team moving forwar...and we bought him out.
Boucher quickley and ochai plus picks for booker
All that and a first can get you kd in today's market
MItchell for a 2nd rd. Tucker adds back up at C for nothing.
For PJ?
Just a buyout - no impact on deal.
How old is PJ now?
39
When will pj Tucker just retire nobody wants him anymore it’s not even harsh it’s just truth
What the heck !! I don’t like that his one
Is this just to save money, or provide veteran leadership? This trade leaves me scratching my head
save money, i guess raps didnt want to sign davion in off season
Save money, I think. He'll be able to make a good salary with some low budget team.
@@chadwellington2524 I don’t like or understand this trade
@ i dont like it either i liked mitchell
Making cap space for what? More draft assets for what? The only thing Masai is cooking is nonsense. Doesn’t Ingram basically play the same style as Barrett and Barnes? The mid range? He’s also pretty weak on defence. I’m ready for MLSE to move on from Masai, Bobby and the entire coaching staff.
We already get rib that scrub PJ tucker old man no sense 😢
Tucker is ass! Mitchell is a solid AF defender, something that Shead sucks at... not feeling this
PJ Who? Wft??
Tucker is like that X girlfriend you can't get over
Isn't this like his 4th time in Toronto now?
Get boogie…..
glad they got rid of kelly olynuk. hes so old and slow. didnt provide much value
First!
This is a Dumb Trade PJ Tucker sucks this man should freaking retire why the Raptors love old retired people it’s stupid
😂
It had to be done for salary flexibility. They aren't playing him.
Do you actually think we made this trade for PJ Tucker 😂 buddy PJ Tucker will likely be waived. This trade was done for many reasons. It will give us a roster spot when we waive Tucker to either give Battle a contract and maybe sign Orlando Robinson to Battle’s 2 way deal. Also this gives us even more cap space to resign Ingram. You guys need to stop thinking we’re trying to do something this season. This season is over!
@@mikeyjames Casuals have to casual.
@@mikeyjames It's amazing how many comments here have suggested that PJ will play for us. He's been out all season but he'll play for a tanking Raptors team. So funny! Your comment flushes out some of the better options for the spot opening up.
PJ will be bought out
This is not a good trade it’s basically trading Davion for the sake of it imo, whatever we get in the second round won’t be better than what he was and is Jamal Shead really ready for that role? IQ hasn’t been playing a lot so is Shead gonna start games? Idk I feel how Mavs fans feel losing Davion ngl
lol no you don't lol, no you didn't just compare Luka to Davion lol
Did you just compare losing Davion to Luka???????? What is wrong with you🤣😭
You guys are right it’s worse cause Davion is better (jk obviously but Davion is a dawg and I just got a Davion raptors jersey 2 days ago lol)
its good asset management, we weren't resigning Davion
@ idk it’s bad value tho I get why they did it but that’s a lot of faith in Shead I wonder if they target a PG that gets bought out. I wonder if the Bulls buyout Tre Jones if we’d be interested in him

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pj is old and terrible
I don't see sense in this one. Maybe Tucker is a buyout
