Spida for Siakam: Get er done

I would also gladly take Precious, Trent JR and OG for Mitchell and Royce. Or whatever they wanted not named Gobert to go with them.

Toronto has so many players that Jazz could use.
 
I don’t think Mitchell and VanFleet make much sense for the Raptors.

Siakam is awesome and I have wanted him in Utah a long time. I was hoping he would be available after they drafted Barnes, but with how well he is playing right now I don’t see the Raptors trading him. Maybe a poor showing in the playoffs could change that.
 
I thought the trade deadline had passed?
 
Because he's older, he shoots league average, he can't create for himself, and he doesn't really work as a 5. He's a nice player, probably a #3 option and complement to star players, but Donovan has significantly more value. Trading Donovan right now, would be like trading Damian Lillard a few years ago.

He can create for himself, has a higher career TS% than Mitchell, is averaging nearly identical points and assists, but rebounds far better, and most importantly plays infinitely better defense. He’s not some 18 point per game scorer. He’s the leading scorer at 22.5 per game for a team that’s been hot as hell the last two months.
 
The thought of a defense led by Gobert and Siakam makes me salivate. I’m not sure trading Mitchell for Pascal is the right move or that Toronto would do it, but man that is a lovely thought to have.
 
honestly, I would try and get RJ Barrett out of NY first but I like this idea. It would take more than PS to get DM.
 
I’d love this beyond belief. No chance it happens as I don’t think Toronto would do it. But this would keep us fairly young, give us a stretch 4/longer dude there and help solidify our defense next to Rudy while not losing too much on offense.
I'm confused by you "this would keep us fairly young" comment. Is it just siakim for Mitchell straight up? Mitchell is only like 24 I think. We would still have gay, Conley, bogey, etc. Not seeing how we get any younger. (Again maybe I'm missing something from your trade though)

I didn’t say we were getting younger. I said it would keep us fairly young as in we wouldn’t be trading Spida for Lillard say and have a two year window with him and that’s it.
 
Here’s a novel idea, how about the front office get there act together so we don’t have to trade Mitchell or Gobert or both by not drafting Dok, or signing 100 yr old Rudy Gay. Then I wouldn’t have to see these ugly *** threads by the op.
