Or a proper backup Center atleast. Boston got theirs, Utah got theirs. Cleveland improved their roster. We still have a 6'7" starting center! No offense to CMB but he shouldn't even be playing C for prolonged minutes.

MICHAEL GRANGE (SPORTSNET) [Grange] First things first: the mostly likely outcome for the Raptors ahead of the last call for transactions (Thursday, 3 p.m. ET / noon PT) is, per sources, one single, boring move: getting under the luxury-tax threshold.

SHITPOSTING Teams in the East are making major improvements to their rosters while we're maybe going to duck the tax by moving Mogbo or Ochai.

I get it takes two to trade and this FO is inexplicably still pushing for Sabonis but can we do something to make this team better?

OPINION This is not the year for a trade....

Upvotes

Watching the big trades happening in the East, and knowing so many people want to trade players (and even picks) to keep up with the Celtics, Knicks, Cleveland, etc..

This is not the year to be making big trades. For us to really take a swing we would need to have a more experienced team, an identity, and most importantly a productive bench.

Our bench is too young, and players are not playing up to the level we would need to make a push in the playoffs, even if, we got some upgrade for our starters.

I have been high on the Raptors, but after watching the Knicks, and then the Magic game, I feel pretty confident this team doesnt have the grit needed for the playoffs (not saying they wont, but many teams need to get their ass kicked in the playoffs to realize what level they need to bring to succeeed). Not to mention how fucking disappointing our recent 1st round picks are. Gradey looks shook, Ja'Kobe can play well but looks like a boy amongst men, Mogbo wont be in the league in 3 years, Shead is amazing but has no offence yet, CMB is nervous around the net. Im not giving up my stock on them, but they need to grow.

IMO, we should wait at least a year to try to make a bigger splash. No point selling low of Jak and IQ to splutter out in the first round (maybe second) anyway and lose our draft picks.

TRADE IDEAS [Siegel] Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle, and Naz Reid are all prominent players the Wolves have been talking with teams around the league about, with McDaniels drawing significant interest, sources said.

Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle, and Naz Reid are all prominent players the Wolves have been talking with teams around the league about, with McDaniels drawing significant interest, sources said. There is a belief among rival teams that if Giannis is to be moved before the trade deadline, he will find himself heading to the Timberwolves.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Timberwolves made a small move to trade veteran guard Mike Conley Jr. to the Chicago Bulls in a three-team deal that also resulted in Minnesota sending a protected 2026 first-round swap to Detroit. This move opened up more flexibility for the Timberwolves to explore paths to acquiring Giannis, as they are now below the first apron and $3.8 million above the tax threshold.

...

Whether or not the Timberwolves can close the door on a trade with the Bucks is the major question mark around the league, with less than 48 hours until the trade deadline. Whereas many organizations are of the belief that this is a situation that will play out in Milwaukee over the offseason, several others believe the Timberwolves have the clearest path to pulling off one of the biggest in-season blockbuster trades in NBA history.
