Raptors Trades INCOMING… Gary Trent Jr. GONE in Free Agency? | Free Agency Watch Along
[Music] [Music] hello everybody Ben Rogers here the Raptors die just ready to dive in to all the live free agency Madness we got a lot of stuff going a lot of stuff cooking regarding this Toronto Raptors team a lot of story lines to dive into a little bit of a j trying to set up a new looked kind of feel live stream that we’re getting rolling obviously this has been the works for a little while but really amped up for uh the Toronto Raptors right now what they’re planning to do the trades that could go down because right now it’s official the time clock has already passed in terms of NBA free agency so now it’s official external moves can be made so the Raptors have a few crazy storylines a few major things that we’re going to see leading up into this the major sort of discussions happening with this squad and basically we’re here to dive it all down react to it live get it all rocking so I appreciate everyone in here Tech took Tech took a little bit of time to to set up late so but uh it’s all good to go here now at this point but hope everyone’s doing well chat I think I’m catching up here now at this point but lots of stuff has already kind of happened in this free agency period this year was unique in the sense that years prior players that were currently on your team that were currently on your roster they were unable to be discussing able to negotiate unable to do different things in regards to essentially making deals go down so usually we’d see the Scotty Barnes extension that happened just weeks ago it would happen immediately right now obviously tampering discussions and stuff would end up going down regularly but officially that wouldn’t pop up that wouldn’t actually break down unless uh obviously the unless things uh things were leaked and then second round picks would be removed and things like that but basically Scotty Barnes ass signed to an extension for the Toronto Raptors to uh that’s going to be upwards if he makes an allba team or an all defensive team of 270 million broke down the details of that in the most recent video we dropped essentially no opt outs no uh player options team options at the back end of that contract Scotty Burns fully locked in for a very long time so essentially that’s one of the big moves that tono raptors have already made during this free agency period and then also we have uh Emanuel quickley the guy that was probably the biggest concern to Toronto Raptors fans as a Flight Risk if other teams would match deals and then he’d walk for nothing well it seems like other teams were offering big money contracts to Emanuel quickly because of the amount of money we had to give up the amount of money we had to offer in order to keep Emanuel quickly back on the roster back on the team but we ended up bringing back Emanual quickly on a I believe 5year all o deal for $35 million annually so the two real big dogs that we have in terms of free agency the big things have already been accomplished by the Toronto Raptors here now at this point and then the rest of the things that are really big to deal with the first one is involving Gary Trent Jr because again Gary is a guy that we know he’s uh the star boy Gary Trent Jr knocks down some shots and get his game rocking but unfortunately uh he’s an unrestricted free agent now this off season and didn’t really live up to his usual expectations or hype last year didn’t uh well didn’t live up to his usual expectations and didn’t improve really as a as a player there at this point so that’s kind of how it went with Gary Tren Jr I’m also keeping the tweets live the wge noties kind of ready to go so we’re not missing a single thing you know regarding the latest updates we’re going to dive into all the NBA discussions not just Toronto Raptor things on this chat on this uh this discussion here but we’re summarize and we’re breaking everything down before we really uh sink our teeth into the stuff that’s going on around the league because major Clay Thompson Paul George different updates regarding the top guys and uh you know some rumors I’m seeing already here now at this point but basically Gary Trent Jr unrestricted free agents now you see the title trades incoming and stuff because in order for us to bring back Gary Trent Jr in order for him to be back on the roster at a contract that’s expected he’s going to command out there on the open market the 17 to20 million range we have to make some trades we have to make some moves the torona Raptors decide to pick up Bruce Brown’s 23 Mill million doll option going into next season so what does that mean for this team well we don’t really have enough uh to have a full mid-level exception for anyone we’re trying to sign during the course of this offseason and we don’t have enough to bring back G Trent Jr unless we want to go over the tax which given the Toronto Raptor performance in uh you know especially to close off last season it would be shocking it would be idiotic it would be silly for this Raptor team to be a tax team going into next season because then you have restrictions in terms of what can happen for the future for different years in uh in the future time because frankly the Toronto Raptors uh want to be able to have their mid-level exception stuff not to have back-to-back sort of taxpaying years so when we have a championship competitive core Scotty Barnes RJ Barrett Emanuel quickley Grady dick um you know jacobe Walter all those guys develop right then this team is able to bring in those complimentary pieces to win us a championship so that’s kind of where we at with this Toronto Raptor team so expectations are Bruce Brown potentially even Yak of purle could get dealt you know in the next hour in the next little while especially as free agency open we know more what’s going on with the external players the external guys around the NBA and now we’re just kind of keeping an update keeping stuff what’s uh what’s going down and christe is in the chat saying we should sign Gary Trent Jr you know I I hate to see the asset Walk For Nothing especially we traded Norman pal from have we conm confirmed salary uh for next season yet let’s uh see I I’m missing a bit salary cap for next season I’ve been seeing news about yes shams essentially broke it all down so it’s not as high as some people were expecting but it has increased that’s uh something that’s gone down for the for you know the the salary cap here now at this point that’s uh that’s where the Raptors are at but basically there have been some moves some moves have already gone down here now at this point in uh you know in uh what’s it called in free agency you know since this uh this time that’s developed here now we’ll break down the official stuff we’ll break down the official reports and then all the rumors because again given how things have shaked out in regards to uh players being able to sign you know the week prior you know after the NBA season ended and between the end of the season and actual you know free agency opening you know there’s less like hard-hitting immediate stuff but I expect a lot of moves still to go down here now at this point tonight but basically let me pull up W’s account because the the Celtics did end up signing Luke cornette back to their roster I know Bruce down and Celtics side just is pretty amped up about him being able to return so basically no one Raptor SS don’t care about luk orette one of the big news one of the big sort of drops the earlier reports from the from this free agency period is the Golden State Warriors ended up waving Chris Paul who had a $ million guarantee date sources have told ESPN he becomes a free agent so basically Chris Paul who had a $30 million guarantee he has been waved he is no longer with the Golden State Warriors news has also come out essentially that Klay Thompson he is not going to be back with the Golden State Warriors either so that team is going to be looking extremely different going into next season the new ember salary cap is $140 million the luxury tax cap is $170 million here now at this point first apron is$ 178 and the second apron is 188 so if you are uh if you are over that cap you have a lot of restrictions you have a lot of issues coming in on your team in terms of what’s going down there but Chris Paul is gone he is uh he is on a different roster that’s official that’s a little uh a little wge bomb let’s get all not the not the tanks let’s get the W bomb rocket for things that are going there vintage pimpit you have not missed any specific Raptors news the new stuff in terms of what’s going down you know this free agency that I’ve seen yet we’re scrolling through it together might be a little bit delayed but uh restrictive free agent Max Christie signed a 4-year $32 million deal to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers so you know that’s an interesting pickup for them again not a huge deal Obi toppen I guess this is uh this is the first one this is the the deal that uh impacts the torona Raptors as Obi toen was a guy that the torona Raptors fans were interested in especially with the Pascal seak trade rumors and stuff thinking we could get Obi toppen out there in uh you know as a trade piece but basically uh restrictive free agent Obi toppen signed a 4-year 60 million contract with the Indiana Pacers that’s the the deal that ended up going down that ended up signing for uh for Obi toppen so that’s uh that’s the updates there so I guess it’s a little bit of torona raptors news the big Raptors news that dropped today and I made a video on it a couple hours before going live is reports have come out there’s a couple a couple Raptors updates Let’s uh let’s see because if Messiah gets on this the cooking will begin if actually go down but essentially messeri has come out and already said that he’s interested in picking up cam Johnson in a tra messiah’s come out reports have come out that messiah’s interested the Raptors are interested in picking up cam Johnson I can bring up that uh that report here essentially cam Johnson 13 points per game uh four rebounds 2.4 assists uh the actual report regarding the situation is the Brooklyn NS Ford cam Johnson has drawn recent trade interests from several teams including the Toronto Raptors and Sacramento Kings League sources have told hoopy so that’s the big update that’s the kind of big news we’ve seen regarding cam Johnson here now at this point so that’s uh that’s one update that’s kind of going down there but other than that no crazy update we did have a Scotty Barnes in terms of we know I already broke this down the live his uh his deal is fully guaranteed there’s no player options no team options he is fully locked into the Toronto Raptors uh there at this point and Gary Tren Jr going to Brooklyn then yeah probably a signning trade probably something there but uh I yeah we got I I got distracted I’m looking at different moves I’m I can’t read between sental tweets and uh not but uh we’ll see what’s going on here now at this point [Music] of we got that going too much stuff happening too much stuff going down but folks as we’re going make sure you guys hit the like button we’re getting uh news is dropping like left right and Center I had to decipher between what is real and what is not here live the chat’s always throwing in some some crazy stuff some crazy updates but we do have some interesting WJ bombs and probably the biggest storyline the biggest narrative that’s going down regarding this team is the Klay Thompson drama the Klay Thompson updates in terms of what’s happening with this squad right now Klay Thompson plans so Ro came out today and already said Klay Thompson is out of Golden State he’s off the Golden State Warriors He’s going to be leaving the Golden State Warriors here now at this point and he’s going to have discussions with the Dallas Mavericks the LA Lakers the LA Clippers but uh but or the philadel and the Philadelphia 76ers in the opening hours of free agency so that’s uh that’s the new news regarding Klay Thompson again some uh some Raptor sense me interested about uh about bringing in some uh some guys you know about Klay Thompson there but the Lakers the Mavericks the Clippers and the Sixers are all guys that are interested in uh you know deals actually going down for the Toronto Raptors and we we wo we have a big Super Chat coming in from Nick $50 Super Chat then I love you Nick I love you too I appreciate the Super Chat supporting the channel big time this free agency there throw the W’s out there in the chat for Nick here now at this point we appreciate the Super Chat that’s huge we appreciate the the opening free agency Super Chat for Nick as we break down all of the latest news that’s going down during this uh during this free agency time appreciate you there Nick it’s uh you know throw W’s out there in the chat if you’re you’re out there a chatter here now at this point so shout out to Nick of you as well but basically lots of stuff lots of stuff is on route for the Toronto Raptors here now at this point but uh news has also come out that the javs are wait planning on waving Omar y to7 uh basically sources have told ESPN another Center in the free agency market y7 was a guy that I know was linked to the Toronto Raptors for a decent amount of time a decent period of time so basically uh interesting uh potential Target the Raptors have uh bolstered their Center position in over the past year or so you know with yakob purle into the mix obviously Kelly o lenic on the squad and then you know Chom into the mix you know this team has a few centers has a few big men but obviously depending on what goes down with yaka purle that’s the big question that’s what uh people are really going to be diving sinking their teeth into with this Toronto Raptors team moving forward but uh but W’s love the W’s for Nick my chat’s delayed I apologize I’m a bit behind and everything that’s going on but uh cb3 ain’t coming here he wants to win no world Chris Paul is coming to the trono Raptors that’s that’s just the reality of it the Spurs are a team that is heavily interested in uh in th those updates we do have have a signing regarding Golden State though big uh big Dalton Johnson bomb basically the Golden State Warriers are signing Kevin Knox to their summer league team so crazy crazy free agent deals going down here now at this point so that’s uh that’s something to keep a lookout for in terms of what’s going on here now at this point but basically hannes just reported the Bulls proposed uh Andrew oh okay we have an interesting update from Chris Haynes so news said before Chris Paul was w that the Bulls proposed Wiggins and Chris Paul for Zack LaVine and the Golden State Warriors said no interesting so basically Zack LaVine could have been going to the Golden State Warriors but ended up saying no so things have not worked out there and I guess this could be skewed as Toronto Raptors no world we get Zack LaVine no world we go after him unless it’s a salary dump and honestly Zack LaVine as a salary dump would be a very very interesting option I’d like to see I’m going to throw I’m going to throw this into the chat no official reports cuz we’re about to dive into uh we’re about to dive into some speculation cuz there’s reports coming up here I don’t know how to how to do this live PLL start a pull uh should we take Zack LaVine on a salary dump I can’t spell I’m live on this you know uh you know I can’t spell out here I can’t type yes no start a pull tossing in a poll to see if you guys because basically we’re going to try to get more polls rocking Nick showed me Nick on Leaf’s digest showed me how to get these polls going improve these streams getting stuff rocking but the Chicago Bulls have been trying to offload Zack LaVine by attaching a first round pick to him but so far no teams have showed interest there’s no market for Zack LaVine they’re trying to give him away and attach him for a first- round pick but I’ve been told multiple people like if we can get a first and we can get Zack LaVine on the I know would take minutes away from RJ Barrett but frankly I’d run a lineup of IQ R RJ Barrett Zack LaVine Scotty Burns and yaka purle I’d run that I think that’s a fine little lineup to run out there for this Toronto Raptors team moving forward into the next season and then we get a bulls first round pick out of it do you understand how valuable a unprotected Bulls first round pick would be we’re not worried about cap space we’re not worried about this stuff we got to let Gary Trent Jr walk or things like that in the future I mean I that’s something I’d be interested don’t you know 80% of the chat is saying no and I get it I get it what how many years are left on Zack Le lavine’s contract but that is absurd the guy’s been injured the dude averaged 27 points per game just years ago I mean that is uh he shoots threes he’s know elad shooter we redeem his value and then we trade him when his contract is a little bit better that’s that’s a that’s a no-brainer for a team right now in the Toronto Raptors that is in that sort of tanking mindset that tanking mold that’s what we like to see but but uh Nick is out there do the Bulls make trades they don’t usually the bulls usually don’t make trades it’s a good point but they have started they’ve started to make the deals happen try to get some deals going cuz they have to their team is completely mid they’re in a weird spot right now but basically the team is really mid for the for the Toronto for the Chicago Bulls and what’s it called they just dealt away Alex Caruso for Josh giddy so they’re trying to shake up their roster try to get stuff going so German German’s doing the Lord’s work out here helping us out saying that three to four years so on Zack LaVine steel so it’s a lot of money 100 years are left on Zack LaVine steel coming from Michael Edmond but uh basically the kings are active in trade talk supposedly to get Brandon Ingram now I do want to bring this up I do want to bring this up for some discussion I want some bad banter I want some back and forth with the chat as well and also I’m keeping track of the sub count that we got going we got 34815 uh subscribers live right now this is a live tracking kind of update of our subscribers so make sure the 300 50 people in here if you’re not in that subscriber section we’re trying to get 35,000 now in the next couple days you big milestone for the channel so you want to see that ticker go up everyone loves seeing numbers go up there’s no uh if sand or butts about that make sure you guys hit that uh hit that ticker so we can uh get that get that subscribers number up but getting that back rocking to to where we were you know the tank animations back playing but basically where we’re at right there’s speculation there’s rumors there’s chatter you know in that sort of King’s discussion that the Raptors and the kings are two teams that could get involved with for Brandon Ingram and a Brandon Ingram sweep Stakes they’re two teams that could get involved so that’s interesting that is an interesting sort of discussion that is interesting that the Raptors are brought up and it’s interesting because it makes no sense it makes no sense for this Raptor group yes if we could insert Ingram into this team without cap space without anything there with not having to give up any ass to bring an end Brandon Ingram that would make a ton of sense to the stroner Raptors group I’d love it it’d be great we’d love to see it but the fact is we’d have to give up some serious Assets in order to bring back Brandon Ingram and given how mid this team was last year and bad we were at the end of the last season are we sure that Brandon Ingram is the guy we want to be given 30 plus million dollars to to be that final piece on this Raptor core roster to compete in the Eastern Conference probably not probably not because again it’s uh the East is looking crazy right now and if the Philadelphia 76ers I just made a video on Courtside digest but uh but basically regarding uh Paul George myself and Jack are out there two raps fans covering uh covering NBA news but basically if the Sixers get Paul George and they have a trio of Tyrese Maxi Paul George and Joel and bean apparently they want kcp too if they have that type of roster and the Celtics have the roster they have drew holiday Jaylen Brown Jason Tatum Chris Stinky Pinky porzingis Al Horford Derek white that team is loaded and now the Knicks with Jaylen Bruns with male Bridges OG anobi Julius Randall Mitchell Robinson Dante dienzo Josh Hart if these are the teams do McBride if they have all these players all these guys out there right it doesn’t make sense for the Toronto Raptors to go all in on Brandon Ingram who basically Shane 10 puts a great point in the chat says it cakam is better than Ingram we should have kept Pascal cakam no sense in trading away assets to bring in Brandon Ingram when we could have just kept Pascal seak no world it makes any world of reason to get Brandon Ingram here now at this point even though I do think we should have kept Pascal seak and whatever’s going on so that’s uh that’s what’s happening that’s what’s happening here but let’s see what the updates uh what’s what’s happening at this point but developing the kings are an active trade talks okay so that’s the latest updates regarding Brandon Ingram so the kings are a team that’s uh that’s getting involved that’s getting in those uh discussions but the Warriors offer for Paul George so oh my God so we have an update in terms of the offer that the CLE the CLE Cavaliers the Golden State Warriors made to the LA Clippers for PG and included no does it come from Bleach from the athletic Chris Paul which we knew Andrew Wiggins kaminga M Moody and a first- round pick and the Clippers Deni that what the Clippers denied for Paul George CP3 Wiggins kaminga Moody was was James Harden in this deal too like why on Earth who whoever’s the GM of the Clippers needs to be fired if they decline that trade Moody and kaminga and a first and wiggin’s trash contract I get that but wow wow wow wow that is shocking that is mental that the that the Golden State Warriors even declined that deal holy smokes throw L’s in the chat for the LA Clippers LA Clippers that’s that’s where the L stands for in La holy smokes oh my God these aren’t crazy W bombs I’m waiting for these crazy W bombs but we have bombs we have interesting bombs dropping on the stream they’re not nuclear bombs yet but they are they are bombs so this is coming from Josh lomberg it’s coming from Josh lomberg here now at this point and announces and before I say it make sure let’s peep out the subs we’re still at at 34 8:15 we got no new subscribers what are we doing folks what what are we doing but all right so basically okay I’m reading the wrong thing Canada basketball announces that Zach Edy is pulling himself out of the process to compete for a spot at the Olympics I have a duty now to properly prepare for all that is coming my way being drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies the L’s are reigning the L’s are reigning for I of conspiracy now people may not have S seen this I dropped a video last night Bruce Brown trade update mixed with the Andrew wigin stuff okay but the Olympic Games if you’re not familiar are ongoing right now and Team Canada has a legitimate chance has a leg legitimate sort of opportunity for I don’t want to say gold but gold we have a legitimate the USA are stacked but with Shay gilis Alexander RJ Barrett Jamal M we have star power on this team Canada roster okay and just as this team’s building up their core building up their group and everyone knows the issues on this team Canada basketball team is the front line again if the Denver Nuggets came out and said Jamal Murray you can’t play if they came out and said Shay gild just Alexander you can’t play there you know more heads would turn but Andrew Wiggins you can kind of get away with Zack Edy you can kind of get away with but I have a conspiracy that these NBA teams do not want to see the USA lose to Team Canada they don’t want to see these close games go down because we beat him in FBA we beat the United States in those feba competitions all right and right now the Golden State Warriors Steve Kerr who has that deep tight relationship with that USA team national team whatever and again we know that they’re shopping they offered Andrew Wiggins to LA Clippers so maybe he gets trade in the next 24 hour hours right he’s able to play for Team Canada but we know Steve Ker’s tight relationship with USA USA Basketball these teams are out here doing something to keep all the forwards from playing for Team Canada during this offseason during the Olympics this year there is something going on this isn’t FBA this isn’t some random you know jamere tournament on a Saturday weekend you know out there in you know Nova Scotia or what this is the Olympics this is Team Canada and the gold State Wars they let Steph Curry play for those teams they let Draymond Green play for those teams they let Klay Thompson play for those teams they let all that go down but no Andrew Wiggins who’s not an American who wouldn’t be playing for Steve Kerr right all that stuff all these oh yeah you’re not allowed to play here now at this point that is crazy that is asinine behavior from the Golden State Warriors organization from everything that’s going down so frankly that is uh that is disappointing to see and now Zach Edy also being uh being removed that is something that I’m very very disappointed in so that is uh throw L’s out there throw L’s out there for Steve cerr throw El’s out there for the Memphis gy throw El’s out there in the chat Zack e should have came H he was on the Toronto Raptors I guarantee you Messi Jerry Bobby Webster Larry tanam all those boys are letting them play so that’s the stuff that’s going down we do have an update not a not a major bomb you know a little a little spark from Kelly a local beat reporter for the Philadelphia 76ers so that’s a that’s an update here Nicholas patum Niko patum he prefers to go by Niko now will not be returning to the Philadelphia 76ers which is interesting very very interesting because again the the Philadelphia 76ers uh you know they like niik Batum they like the sort of Veteran leadership he provide and he had an opportunity to get some decent run with the Sixers last year and I guess that means that could be an indication if we’re reading tea leaves here now at this point in terms of what’s going on right this could be an indication that the Philadelphia 76ers are in a position to land Paul George as well as L kcp that’s a report that came out earlier I discussed this on Courtside digest you can check out those vids you can check out what’s going on there but basically uh the Philadelphia 76ers are enamored they are intrigued by picking up Paul George and kcp this off season and a team I know how much Raptors fans myself hate the six I hate the Celtics way more I hate the that’s way more that’s just my personal vendettas I find embiid a meme I find him jokes I love roasting like the plane thing like the fact that we got the best of embiid allows me to like him you know in the the future whatever okay so essentially but if they have Nick nurse as their head coach and they have Tyrese Maxi they have kcp they have Paul George and they have Joel embiid on that roster I mean Joel em beid averaged like 36 points per game last year and they’re relatively healthy that is nasty nasty Squad Tobi harus there’s no world he is coming back to the Philadelphia 76ers that man is playing for the Detroit Pistons next season you can put money on it and news came out today as well that they uh they hired uh the former Cavs coach the the Phil the Detroit Pistons gave a five-year contract to the former Cavs coach uh I don’t even remember his name but fired again you know another guy that they’re just giving Max contracts to to to bring in they fired after a giant giant deal that they had to eat for Monty Williams they uh they well I don’t know why his brain is slipping me right now I’ve been talking this this Cavs chatter for a little while but uh we also have an update we have another update as well we have another update as well do I have this graphic I’m gonna be very happy if I have this graphic I don’t that’s disappointing the young socialite the young socialite watch I’ll get that’ll get loaded back for next stream but the Nets are taking offers on Ben Simmons as they enter a rebuild he’s one year left on his contract so he is an expiring guilds the same Bruce Brown sort of chatter so we’re kind of mostly through the the whole the whole Vibes of the Ben Simmons contract being horrific being the worst sort of contract in the league so that’s something to look at but folks I’m GNA be I’m gonna be sad I’m gonna be disappointed if if we’re still at we’re still at 34815 let me let me let me check something let me let me see if there’s a if there’s a there’s a glitch going on with uh oh I think I I understand why that that’s stuck at 8:15 and that’s because that’s stuck at 815 because uh I don’t have the window up so it’s actually not live we we hate to see that we hate to see that so we’ll actually see next live stream we’ll be able to look at those numbers go up we’ll look at those numbers go up live but that’s how it goes we need a B on the Raptors you check out my mix tape baby this is the time of year I always plug it Ben Rogers High School mixtape I could cook I could cook for this Toronto Raptors team but uh no Switching gears but basically lots of news and if I’m looking away from the camera more than I usually am it’s just St up essentially I’m I’m trying to keep up to date in terms of everything that’s going on everything that’s that’s rocking out but uh with Brooklyn entering a rebuild there are some interesting players in this list they’re trying to trade so the Nets are trying to trade cam Johnson who we know who we know the Toronto Raptors are interested in trading with 27y old shooter from the new Brooklyn Nets okay Cam Johnson along with Dorian finy Smith Boon bonovich Dennis shuder Ben Simmons and backup center donon sharp are previous I’m telling you this cam Thomas is going to have the the season of his life next season this is some advice here now at this point some advice this is uh not not Financial advice fantasy advice I I don’t think I’m legally liable if your fantasy team sucks draft cam Thomas as early as reasonably possible in your fantasy league next season because that man is going to shoot all the shots he’s going to have the ball in his hands every single possession if you don’t get if you’re nerfing you know efficiency and stuff like that cam Thomas will be your guy but what the chat say Warriors are whack crazy the Warriors offer that package but uh basically you know Simmons not going the Raptors I’d also hate the players that aren’t born in the USA and they have citizenships uh they bu the Raptors uh they build the Avengers wack the Joan beid is playing on that team that’s crazy that is that is ridiculous that he is he is on that group he’s on that team but uh we have we do have an update a minor update a little a little Mike scoto update heith a big uh a big man for the the Miami Heat this season the Detroit Pistons Charlotte Hornets Utah Jazz San Antonio Spurs Philadelphia 76ers Indiana Pacers Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors are all teams showing interest in Haywood heith so that’s something that uh that wow okay that’s a minus that’s a m that was a minor deal Heywood Highsmith lots of teams interesting it but we do have something intriguing something a little bit juicier to to SN our teeth into with a late report a new report that has gone down a new little update as basically the LA Lakers and the Portland Trailblazers are currently in talks in a trade for Jeremy Grant wow that is intriguing that is a that is a good pull for the LA Lakers if they’re able to sort of get one of those deals make one of those those signings happen because that’s a that’s an interesting pickup that’s an interesting guy right there wow okay that trade would be a major shakeup that trade would be something that’s that’s bananas here but usually and again it might feel like it’s a little bit slow right now in terms of free agency German just German and I are in the same wavelength the same head head space a free agency so dead so slow I’m used to fast deals used to happen the reason why it’s so slow the reason why it feels dead is because usually in the first hour all the deals that were pre-negotiated all the tampering deals you know the Scotty Burns extension that everyone knew was coming the Emanual quickly extension that everyone knew was coming they just come and hit rapid fire and we’d get those immediate dopamine hits oh my God IQ got $35 million what is happening what’s on the go right but those deals are already done they’re made public they’re made official so now we’re waiting on the juicy new stuff the Jersey swaps the crazy stuff and that’s why I’ve been making so many videos lately people are people I deliver you the latest Raptors news it’s what I do and usually it’s the only free agency day and draft day where i’m just out here spamming vids on lives cooking stuff up but really it’s uh there’s just been like a week of daily updates in terms of all the news in terms of everything that’s that’s going on with this team so that’s uh that’s something there that is to be uh intrigued by but uh the San Antonio Spurs did not tender A qualifying offer to Dominic Barlo don’t know who that is so that’s that’s how it goes but cornett’s yeah cornet signed a contract contract Chris Paul got waved those are the updates from W let’s see what Shams is saying let’s see the the Shams updates in terms of what’s Happening Here but we did have we have had some Raptors news or Team Canada news especially zachie not playing for Team Canada is uh is what’s is what’s happening Michael Edmund I’m in full uh full agreement there basically uh tampering of elevates my dop and mean as well okay we have a we have we have an update that I have missed that I have not brought up new update folks Kevin Love is finalizing a 2-year deal 8 million plus to return to the Miami Heat gamechanging no actually I don’t think I brought up this one I don’t think I brought up this one because this is some intriguing impacts on H the rest of the league and the rest of the NBA but James Harden is signing a two-year $70 million contract to return to the Los Angeles Clippers so a player option for year two as well so he can be a free agent next offseason $35 million a year for uh for James Harden so James Harden is making uh is making Emanuel quickly money respect also update to because I dropped I recorded a video last night that I recorded for the morning uh Patrick Williams is not going to be a target for the Toronto Raptors here now at this point either he is not going to be a target for the Toronto Raptors at this point either basically news has come out that Patrick Williams signed a fiveyear $90 million contract to return to the Chicago Bulls so someone with uh with with quick quick maths can I do that in my head 20 uh you know no I can’t I can’t do that in my head I’m my brain is literal brain rod from too many videos but roughly like $18 million per year for Patrick Williams so the expected number and you know and our speculation and stuff Rico greenhow our guy which on bulls dig just disappointed in that contract he want more c space to have fun to to toy around in free agency you know uh ran Holmes also declined is $13 million player option and signed a two-year deal that makes sense but uh Klay Thompson the Warriors they’re uh they’re brace for an end yeah he’s gone no new updates there on that front so that’s uh that that’s kind of the crazy the crazy updates there we do wow okay so the LA Clippers are looking for trades and I got this i i scoped it just as dxz Infinity YouTube uh mentioned in the chat the Clippers are looking to trade Russell Westbrook here now at this point that’s uh that’s intriguing that is interesting so uh again he he opted into his player option he was a good player off the bench for the LA Clippers so that is interesting they’re trying to deal him they’re trying to move him away from the LA Clippers there at this point getting weird homelander memes on my uh on my Twitter screen so that’s we love that you know I’m looking for just NBA news here right now but uh we do have a big update actually in fact so I know there’s a lot of Nicks fans overlapping this this channel this Market especially with all the trades I have gone down with the Toronto Raptors and the Knicks this season but the O the Oklahoma City Thunder are meeting right now with Isaiah hardenstein in Oregon and I think they’re G to give Isaiah hardenstein a big big bag now in the past herstein was a guy that has been linked to the Toronto Raptors a guy when he wasn’t as expensive that Raptors fans were certainly intrigued by as an option there but it seems like the Oklahoma City Thunder are going to be the squad are going to be the team to uh to make that deal go down to make that deal happen so that’s uh that’s an intriguing update that’s an interesting update for uh for what’s happening there with uh with Oklahoma City Thunder again that Thunder team with Shay with Dort couple Canadians on that group Now with Alex Caruso if they pick up Isaiah hardenstein around that uh that team that roster you know it’s not the crazy big name that’s always linked but again they have so many draft picks that they can just facilitate deals and can get uh get things happen you know at this point so we love uh that that’s a good pickup for that group but Rowan Barrett says with heaviness in his heart that’s Zach Ed’s voice he told Barrett won’t be uh in training camp says he’s happy for Ed and no doubt he’ll play for Canada the future but it stings that sucks the Olympics man the Olympics the Olympics where Team Canada has that uh that opportunity that option to really uh really become a a team that’s legit and we don’t get Zach who went n overall eight or ninth overall it’s the Memphis Grizzlies L’s in the chat for the Memphis Grizzlies that’s uh that’s what’s going on there JB Bickerstaff is the name of the new Detroit Pistons head coach former Cavs head coach crazy that I uh didn’t uh I didn’t get that but the nuggets the Denver Nuggets are showing interest in Russell Westbrook here now at this point so that’s a that’s a breaking report from Jake fiser the Denver Nuggets are showing interest in Russell Westbrook here now at this point so that is something to be intrigued by that is something uh you know you’d be an interesting pickup the Denver Nuggets don’t have much flexibility probably going to lose kcp so you know deal it would be a trade that would end up going down but that’s uh that’s what’s happening but Lorie Colley is bringing up comment on Jaylen Smith now Jaylen Smith is a guy that uh has been linked to the Toronto Raptors for years at this point three-point shooting athletic kind of big man that can block shots can do his thing out there you on the defensive and offensive ends and Jaylen Smith is a guy you know he’s got the goggles I made a video on him yesterday I think him Bay are two guys that could be interesting pickups for the Toronto Raptors here now at this point in free agency if we end up opening up our mid-level exception that’s uh that’s the big stuff that’s really uh going down that’s happening here now but basically we have a question in the chat as well about uh the newest Toronto Raptor one of the newer Toronto Raptors Sasha vov who is uh who was a guy that had an interesting story and people are are intrigued people are are talking in the chats you know in terms of what’s going on with Sasha vov because there’s a report that came out that essentially revealed Sasha when he was on the Sacramento Kings he wasn’t happy being in the NBA he wasn’t happy being on the Sacramento Kings and he wanted out he wanted it gone and if you’re not familiar with who this guy is we traded for him we trade Jaylen McDaniels you screw up for the torona rors this season for an elite defender in Davon Mitchell mobile shooting um solid shooter he regressed a little bit as a shooter this season I don’t want to gas him up too much but essentially Davon Mitchell Sasha vvovv who is a guy that won a Euroleague MVP last season won a Euroleague MVP and uh you know came over the NBA and things just weren’t working out things weren’t uh taken to another level so uh didn’t get a lot of run with the kings dealt with some injuries and stuff so he was like Hey I’m going to go back to Europe or I was MVP I was the big dog the big cat you know people cheer my name rather than Sacramento doing what’s uh what’s happening there but no that did not go down and uh basically when he’s traded the toron Raptors new reports were revealed new reports were dropped that he signed a contract with o Olympiacos of Greece over there in Europe fouryear deal from uh from those European basketball sources and uh that that was the reports the news so he’s trying to bolt the NBA that was the chatter that was the bug and obviously it did not happen Michael gra came out and shut that down Olympiacos came out and shut that down but it was a really weird situation there’s definitely uh some weird stuff happening you know at that at that point in terms of what’s going on definitely I agree with Gman crazy fleece by Messi Jerry Trad the bom for some good players and picks the the crazy part of that deal the crazy part of that trade where the Raptors sent out Jay McDaniels and require in return got uh Davon Mitchell and Sasha vov we got you know Jamal shed pronouncing his name right now appreciate appreciate the thousands of people that let me know I spell said his name wrong Jamal we got Jamal in the second round and the real piece the real juicy Edition we got the Blazer second for next season now I don’t know if you know the Portland Trailblazers suck that team lost a ton of games last year and uh they’re not projected to win any more this season haven’t se we haven’t seen Paul George time with the Portland Trailblazers here now at this point so we’re probably going to have the 30th pick in next year’s NBA draft we basically got another first for Nexis in that trade for Jaylen McDaniels crazy crazy crazy not going to lie this free agency’s been as dud so far and be cracking down on tampering yeah well I feel like it’s not even the tampering it’s the fact that all the deals that would have been made regarding tampering all those contracts that would have been signed that would have been discussed that would have been made regarding tampering have mostly already happened obviously you know like the Kyle Lowry trade that the sign that that was a tampering deal we knew what was happening there on that front but uh the you know the deals that mostly are tampering are you know the what’s it called the Emanuel quickly contract extension you know we”ll be getting those rapid fire this time of day this time of uh this time of year with the medi the free agency market opened but uh that’s kind of what’s happening but basically Can Shed become the next Fred Van leet can they teach him to shoot I mean that’s the question if he can if he can learn how to shoot you know be a bit more efficient as a shooter he has the playmaking ability he is a much better Defender as Fred bble now Fred is for as much as people want to bag people want to roast people want to trash on Fred Van vet who he is as a basketball player how he ended his career with the Toronto Raptors I get all that but Fred Van vet was a knockdown sniper from the three-point line he could create wasn’t the most efficient finisher on the basket but could get to the bucket at times for he was good at basketball he was good at basketball so that’s something that is uh that should be discussed and should be talked about uh Jay hazer is in the chat asking is Nicholas claxon signed or is he a free agent and basically he is not he ended up signing a four-year deal with uh with the Brooklyn Nets a couple days ago I believe so that’s uh that’s the updates in terms of what’s going on regarding uh regarding Nicholas Claxton so that’s something that has to be discussed has to be uh revealed you know but basically the torono Raptors right now the big stuff that’s going to happen I feel like this is why the Raptors might not be making moves because all the dominoes are going to fall when especially Paul George he decides where he’s going because then there’s less options on the table for a Klay Thompson for these types of guys out there in the in the market so that’s a that’s a tough spot for those guys to be in in those different destinations but once Paul George Falls once that once we get an update in terms of what’s happening there then we’ll have a better idea in terms of what’s happening with the Toronto Raptor team and everything that’s going on but I am going to uh I’m I’m going to fix the subscriber go goal uh goal setup I’m going to I’m going to make this this good window capture we’re we’re we got this in the wrong spot let me uh let me make sure that we we have this set up right but uh we got this we got this looking I think we’re back I think uh I think we are back the videos are gone webcam is back we are here we are we are going live from this this sort of spot right now at this point but uh we uh we love to see the the the whole setup the the whole switch up trying to trying to get the tech right trying to trying to get all the tech situated now at this at this this point in in time you know we we we’re working on the Fly here now at this point but make that smaller make that smaller and nice we got we got a weird setup we got a weird setup not not sure if this subscriber goal is not working there now that’s how it goes we’re not stressing we’re keeping up to date in terms of what’s Happening regarding this team regarding these uh these live streams we’re back don’t uh don’t we’re Frozen you know I’m not sure if you guys could hear me but we’re back on the stream but essentially you know what’s going on here right in here with the the free agency stuff it’s so I’m used to hard hitting some fiery from some fiery news some juicy stuff uh we do have an update we do have an update coming up essentially uh the LA Clippers are looking to trade PJ Tucker that is the latest news the latest update here now on this live stream so that’s uh that’s something to to take a look at to be in street by but I think the stream is back rocking I’m a little bit flustered now we got to need to make sure that this is all looking good I I’m going to manually fix this I don’t like that there’s no glow I don’t like that there’s no there’s a lack of glow if there’s if there’s a lack of glow then really what what are we doing can we really be streaming if there’s a lack of glow yes no in the chats that’s uh that’s what we need to figure out B is also another guy while I’m doing this while my brain is a bit kerfuffled I want I want a yes or no in the chat about whether or not the Toronto Raptor should uh should make a deal should make a move for Chris buet I don’t think we’re going to be able to get this this fixed I don’t think we’re you know what we can do we get this underneath that right there that’s fine that looks fine we got we we’re working on the Fly here now at this point a new stream setup I don’t know if you guys like the chat on the side I have to make that text bigger we’re we’re working on stuff out here now we get the we’re getting the Tex stuff rocking if I didn’t build the software then I don’t know I don’t know what I’m doing but Maxi’s coming that’s coming back Lakers digest wow okay we do have a couple of updates we have a couple of updates little update Paul George’s wife just follow Joel embiid’s wife on Instagram now I know that stuff might mean nothing that stuff might be a little bit of cheese might be a little bit of silliness out there to be tracking and having a look at but that doesn’t mean nothing I guarantee you that doesn’t mean nothing if I if I were a betting man if I were a betting man then yes I would uh I would predict that the the Philadelphia 76ers are going to be Paul George’s next destination going to be Paul George’s next team that’s just the reality of it Tyrese Maxi is expected to sign sign a 5year $25 million deal with uh with the Philadelphia 76ers next summer and we do have a we have a Shams bomb we have a Shams this isn’t Shams we have a little Shams update here folks we have a Shams update here now at this point big man neis kada agreed to a multi-year deal to stay with the boss of Celtics now you and I probably don’t care about that but Bruce on Celtics digest that man has been waiting that man has been waiting for weeks for that update he was more excited about that update and he was the Celtics winning the championship so if you have any Celtics fans in your life congratulations uh congratulate them that uh they’re they got their guy but uh that’s how it goes anyways uh end of an era people are saying with Paul George and kawhai that era never begun but uh the more r Westbrook updates you know Denver Nuggets are the team that are most intrigued by him so Celtic zos is amped up that’s that’s what my feed is taking here now at this point but no other crazy news no other crazy update so far at this point Zack Ed went away you know if the if the Sixers sign kcp if they add kcp to the mix I’m looking at my camera like like like it’s turned on like it’s working ha that I should actually turn that off to save battery so I know there’ll be more videos later tonight but essentially B is is still in the mix it’s uh you know Fred gave us a tooth and he took a black eye for the championship he owes us nothing that’s true but uh Twitter clay as soon as he signs a deal with the Lakers yeah gonna be the next Malik Beasley on that squad on that group let let’s be Reddit let’s see let’s see what’s going on here now at this point Zach is withdrawn from the Olympics we hate to see that hate to to see that stuff should the Raptors trade for uh trade for essentially should be trade for Andrew Wiggins just solely off the fact that he’ll be able to play for Team Canada yes or no that’s a that’s a poll question right there start a poll how do I how do I close the poll let your viewers weigh in end poll CLE should Wiggins Raptors trade so let’s let’s see let’s see should the Raptors trade for Wiggins so he can play for Team Canada that’s this is the update I’m really interested in I’m intrigued by should the torona Raptors trade for Andrew wiggin so he can play for Team Canada that’s uh that’s what’s happening we do have a Bruce Brown cooking basically Bruce Brown says I’m alive he’s back in the six excited going to do big things in the East plus us and uh you know basically he he does enjoy being in Toronto it seems like shout out to Bruce Brown I like that guy he he’s won me over as a person as a guy it’s exciting but uh you know that’s how it goes but slightly lower from uh in terms of tax non- tax paying teams received uh $12 million in distribution from the eight tax paying teams so that’s uh that’s something that’s there but could Malachi Flynn sign with Toronto do you guys want to see Malachi Flynn back in the six I’m asking questions directly pulled from Reddit right now that’s a that’ll be bold that’ll be a bold situation we don’t really have any the reddits the Twitter it’s kind of what’s going down what’s going down cb3 and Klay Thompson to uh to the Toronto Raptors that’s what’s Happening Here we do look okay we have an update a Marcus Morris update the heat the Sixers the Dallas Mavericks the Detroit Pistons Cavs Orlando Magic and Pelicans are all interested in Marcus Morris and wow okay we do have a signing we have a signing folks an actually interesting signing dxz is infinity is is getting all the spoilers before I can come out Andre Drummond is signing a two-year $10 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers so they got their backup center I’m interested that this deal was called out right now I’m interest in that fact because again they have to wait Paul George is really the is really the guy that they’re waiting on in terms of red being able to being able to send out so that’s an intriguing update that’s an intriguing update so that’s that’s what’s happening okay let’s see let’s see if there’s any other updates you know cam Johnson more cam Johnson uh news more cam Johnson cam Johnson news linked to the TR Raptors as a potential trade one also update that should be brought up and I would not be shocked I would not be shocked if this ended up happening but precious atua his is his contract was not uh picked up by the New York Knicks they have so much money going around on that team right now so uh press atua is out of the New York Knicks it seems like would we be shocked if Messiah jery brings him home would we Michael edman says send precious home to an old age home love that but uh you know that’s that’s something that’s going down progress atua going out there no no no to Malachi Maliki did score 50 points in a game last season need I remind you Malachi Flynn did score 50 points in a in a game last season so that’s that’s something drillman bead you know get that duo back 52 guards on the Raptors right now no room for red friend the Crimson Flyn bring back Malachi Flynn make it happen folks make it happen we need precious and Malachi make the OG trades even more lopsided yeah a our trade is looking bad just given how well em Manuel quickly and RJ Barett have been for this team don’t know which camera to look at but uh you know I wouldn’t give back but I doubt it is Marquel folz a free agent and an option for the Raptors the Raptors have been uh previously uh previously discussed for marel folz in years past but I don’t think there’s actual links we have too many guards now at this point what time is it in Newland right now baby 839 839 in new flad so that’s uh that’s what’s what’s going down here now Flint is dooo that’s a sin but all these deals were going down and we were bringing back precious and Malachi I’d burn all the jerseys that’s uh that’s that’s what’s that is what it is that is what it is we got some we got some title help you know Celtic St just making videos got to help out with the thumbnails and stuff while I’m live on air do some CEO of digest media work got to keep that keep that comp keep the company running keep the company up and sharp but if all these deals were to go down and there were uh to bring back precious okay I’ve already read that Malachi 50 bomb and never forget never forget but uh German is saying just making sure we can’t sign Trend because then we would go into the luxury tax pen unless he takes a big pay cut yeah that’s something that uh that could go down that could happen you know uh I I feel like a Bruce Brown trade is coming and then we get the Gary update like I feel like that’s all coming at once and that’s why this stream is titled the way it is right like a Gary Trent Jr kind of move going down and then seeing what happens but being precious back made a difference at time still young I I’d love to see precious back especially on like a reasonable contract like a threee $15 million deal that’s that’s what we call a steal the Tron Raptors Chris saying Ben I challenge you to game of 21 you can try Christie you can try I’m an elite 21 player bit a horse horse we used to play horse but Tom one of our buddies back in the day was name still one of my friends his name was Tom and uh we you never wanted to be Tom don’t you instead of horse but uh Bruce Brown for Steph Curry that’s a deal that that could be fun that could be exciting think the Thunder will take Gary I mean we’ll see we’ll see what happens feels like the Toronto Raptor not not making any moves here now at this point that’s that’s something that is disappointing to to me I wanted to see something a new a new sort of move at least the jump one thing we could sink our teeth into get excited about but it’s it’s how it goes but uh more move Heaven and Earth to bring big Z from Nola he love poutines goodness gracious do we want do we Tron know for poutine let’s let’s be real here let’s be real but uh so B and Jaylen Smith are off the table with brown still here so can we still use the mid level them yeah it depends we can’t use the full mid level we still have some uh some updates Tom M we got a Super Chat coming in from my guy Tom m a legend in the super chats saying a disturbance was mentioned as a being signed by the Raptors who was the Sith Lord that suggested this the Red Mamba I think that was rker I think rker came out it’s been spewing that in into the media into the air that’s a it’s a that’s a Riker play the Crimson fln he’s a fling guy so was he I don’t know good he was a fling guy but so so B they they’re off the board we need a we need a Bruce Brown trade if we want something but uh I’m typing this to see if uh the big screen TV I’ll love you forever hie I’m typing this to see it on my big screen TV hie Halle Burton interesting tyes hton you know jiren bigo I appreciate uh you always subscribing and unsubscribing or unsubscribing and then subscribing so we get that that Stu rocking that’s uh that’s good Malachi drove me crazy too small and inconsistent we have Davon now yeah we have Davon the lockups to clamp up Davon Mitchell is that clamp God for the Toronto Raptor so we love to see that Montreal for Putin that’s what I’m saying you know good poutine at like 3 a.m. in Montreal Just SLS nothing better there’s a lot of stuff better but Montreal I’m gonna I’m gonna give shout out live sponsored not actually at sponsored YouTube but uh what two Chow in Montreal $2 Chow men I think they open at like 11 p.m. but you go out there a nice 2 a.m. meal especially after a night on the town you know delicious delicious peanut butter Chow men just Chow men and peanut butter absolutely slaps but uh what record do you predict for the Ws next season I thought they look pretty good after trades when they were healthy I think our team will be better than people think but I think we’re going to like trade purle and just not have any centers and it’ll be messy probably malachai’s dad that’s how it goes you will never get a 100 likes well Kellen the like spikers are out calling me out not getting a 100 likes silly silly we’re getting there fast even with the abolish Tech setup right now that’s just that’s just how it goes but uh let’s throw bag in Ingram and see what happens I thought Brown wanted to play for Tom Tom Tibido yeah that was something that’s brought up Omar year 7 being waved by the Jazz he’s a guy that’s interestingly uh been linked to us in the past so you never get 100 likes is that another one or is the same one I don’t know get ready to learn H Hindi Ben Simmons so do they have like an Indian basketball league is that uh is that what’s happening but uh we could not trade cakam for anything why does anyone uh think we will get something of value for Bruce Brown I think we’re getting something of value for Bruce Brown I think we are Tom M I think we’re we’re getting something decent is he an expiring contract it’s not a Flight Risk like obviously seak is a flight a expiring contract as well but people wanted to keep him and he we got three first round picks for him and Jordan War I think people forget are on this I forget Jordan War’s on this roster a let’s be real here you know in the season as I’m watching the games you’ll lock in on the team and stuff but uh you know Jordan MOA a few of the newer guys you know jamas Ramsey are they coming back we don’t know hopefully we should find that all that out soon but I got a notification okay we know why the LA Clippers are trying to trade Russell Westbrook we know why now as Kevin Porter Jr has agreed to a two-way deal with the Los Angeles Clippers after six week in of six weeks of strong play in Greece in April and May Porter had multiple NBA suitors but again basketball Talent is not the the reason why Kevin Porter junior is not in the NBA let’s let’s be let’s be real here and Steve Nash in assign a trade deal we got some OG o sources Porter previously reached a plea agreement of third deegree Reckless assault in a misdemeanor in January he’s in the process of completing a court-ordered program and once completed his plea will uh move to not guilty with no criminal record okay so I guess the off the court stuff is uh is figured out it’s situated with Kevin Porter Jr so that’s why he’s back in the NBA and uh I’m getting baited by old wge tweets Toronto’s finalized an agreement to send Andrea barani to the Knicks for Marcus cambi Steve Novak and a 2016 first round pick that end up being yak and Perle these are the bombs that we’re looking for not the not the we’re looking for similar wo ones similar good ones but that’s that’s how it goes breaking Klay Thompson will officially apart from the Warriors we know this no new news there Chris Paul is not going to the New York Knicks you can rule out the New York Knicks as a destination for Chris Paul that’s the updates there Stam Coast to the Canucks did Stam Coast go to the Canucks is he still good I don’t know I’m slowly learning more about hockey Canucks digest if you like the Vancouver Canucks they should have a video on that ASAP that’s uh that’s something we got to keep up got the Canucks if you’re into hockey if you’re in the hockey Canuck digest Flames digest Oilers digest what else we have Leaf’s digest obviously H’s digest Bruin’s digest you know we got all the digests please check them out but uh that’s that’s pretty crazy that deal actually happened that deal actually went down but uh is that official Chris Paul to the San Antonio Spurs is that official is that official are we getting fake newsed Warriors wave Chris Paul that’s that’s that’s not new news but James Harden resigned we see this we’re just getting the Recycled in cycled updates Ben comment on Carlton he can be the Raptor’s third Center Carlton Trant what I don’t know what’s happening but uh this no sense digest though yo if you guys know someone that wants to cover the utta Senators they just got a no ly linmark or something Kirk day would know for sure the guy this the goalie from the Bruins they just got him so I I’ve done some Jersey swaps for for for those trades so definitely uh if you know people that would be interested in Senators digest that’s uh that’s something that’s there or any team or any team if you know any anyone that’s interested in any team let me know reach out we’re expanding the company but uh you know I won’t be shocked if rker became a Spurs fan started a Spurs Channel Spurs digest we are hiring for that right now actually so please please reach out if you want to talk about the San Antonio spars this is what the stream is become the there’s no news that I’m out here basically doing LinkedIn ad reads add me on LinkedIn I need to get my network up I’m not even at 500 connections I’m the CEO of a media company what’s uh what’s going on here but I used to watch hockey I discover basketball I see I uh I would watch hockey as a kid and then just you know as little teenagers you can’t really can’t you can’t like hockey and basketball right it’s a you have to have distaste for for the other sport if you’re going to be a fan of one team so that’s uh that’s one thing there but you know get ready to play for the tamill Tigers Ben Simmons that’s hilarious but Michael Hughes might want to go back to hockey not sure who Michael Hughes is Raptors 95 digest that’d be cool little 905 dig just baby that’s uh you know the daily coverage by basketball over hocky I agree I don’t like this new free agency style miss the old tampering ones you know that’s what happens right people people try to you know shut down ton tried to shut that all down but didn’t happen Gio Drummond sign with the Sixers twoyear $5 million per season that’s what’s happening but isn’t Toronto over the salary cap with all the recent science we’re not over the salary cap cap yet but if we bring back Gary we will be so we don’t have our full mid-level exception here right now that’s why I’m saying that’s why the title of this video is trades are coming for the Toronto Raptors because they’re coming there’s no world we go in as a tax team next season it’ be lame as heck if we also like Gary walk as well get ready to learn PJ Tucker goodness gracious it’s Brandon Carlson goodness gracious that’s uh I remember the Brandon with the e Brandon Carlson I’m a you know so many guys have come on this team have joined the roster I’m mixing up Brandon Carlson is Elite three-point shooter 25 years old out of Utah I believe UT but he’s a 7 foot three point sniper that’s uh that’s where uh that’s where things are rocking Eric Oliver wants to connect on LinkedIn I’ll connect I get that connection rocking appr sure gassing up the LinkedIn call to actions are working but uh it’s uh I think he’s good Brandon Carl I watch a few of his highlights he’s a smooth moving big he reminds me of Kelly Lim just not as good of a passer but does have that uh that stuff rocking to appreciate the support on the channel my guy appreciate that big time but uh three spots for Gary three top three spots for Gary what teams need shooting like bench production shooting I don’t know I can see the Sixers being interested if they strike out out on uh did Nick nurse’s burners didn’t like didn’t like Gary Shan Jr so he’s not going to the Sixers the Nuggets don’t have the money the Lakers the Lakers have been trying to get Gary Tren Jr for years so bringing in some more some more shooting onto that team is definitely something that uh I think it would be interesting in 30 minutes I bet a Bruce Brown trade will happen German I can guarant I I know ex like genuinely genuinely I know exactly when the Bruce Brown trade is coming it’s when I sign off on the stream so whenever whenever I hit stop streaming that’s when that’s when all the trades are going to absolutely explode I’m just aware of that I’m going have to jump back on I should be charging my camera that’s what I should be doing right now because I’m using my old my old janky webcam right now but Raptors need Ben shooting that’s true and you know krie Trent Jr is going to pay command $20 million is it just me or the new guys we’ve gotten it seems like our bench is a bit better than last season already looks more balanced I’m G to keep it real every year I come into the season thinking our bench is sick and they just suck that’s what makes me sad but I do think we’re g that being said I’m going to feel the exact same way come September so that’s how it goes RJ bear told me Kelly will goodness gracious Kell we hit 100 likes Kellen though that’s right that’s right that’s what’s happening that’s what we’re doing here but Raptor should have drafted bronny and held out for a trade I’ll give him mad he’s he would have went to Australia that’s what bronny James would apparently done signing trade Gary Tren Jr to the Orlando Magic for Jonathan Isaac and wend Carter Jr or or Wendel Carter J that’ be cool though get something back from Scooby-Doo let’s go I miss you too Scooby-Doo wonder where you were in the last couple we streaming lately we’ve been uh we’ve been getting the streams rocking and rolling so happy to see you back good good but does anyone know the exact cap space Toronto has right now I think we have like 11 million assuming that uh assuming everything that’s going on like if we keep Bruce Brown we only bring back like one year like minimum deals I think that’s uh that’s the deal does anyone know the exact cap say so do the Raptors sign Kyle Lowry to the one-day retirement contract that here and it puts us in the tax we give Kyle lry the one- day deal and it puts us in the tax and then things things go to go get messed that’s how it goes tank old Tunes laare that’s a I’m just being honest out here folks like I’m giving you all the latest updates all the latest news updates rumors reports regarding the I want to be the most consistent YouTuber I want to be the most entertaining YouTuber that’s that’s what we’re trying to do but I’m like I dial back my takes for you like some people dial up their takes for YouTube like when I’m on camera it’s dialed back from the stuff I’d be saying to to people in real life that’s just what I’m saying I appreciate you saying that Ben our benches always sucks and it will happen again yes it’s the likely possibility but uh I’m a miss former grot Gary Tren Jr that’s true the former grow Gary Tren Jr we hate to see it but I guess MSI and Bobby are taking the long weekend off it’s Canada Day baby it’s Canada Day can you blame him can you blame him we need a athletic centers that’s why we got Chom baby Chom will be coming in the next Giannis that’s crazy people are saying that but if he is I would be very happy uh Riker’s still in the basement I don’t know Riker’s living it up in BC right now I think so he’s uh he’s crushing it he’s got he’s got like two proper drops last time I talked to him so he tried coming back I think it was the the the updated uh the updated style the updated stuff with raps dig just the whole company it’s uh it’s it’s a lot like it’s you know I know people roast me for uploading too many videos but like I want to keep people up to date most people appreciate it but it’s a lot so with I’m fulltime with this now so just how it goes but uh Marcel’s Marcel’s out there for the MAV dig as well I’m not sure if Marcel’s live actually everyone spam uh spam what’s it called samam uh Marcel’s comment section Maverick’s digest comment section and say why aren’t you live Marcel we’re disappointed disappointed in what’s in what’s going on here Marcel I’m gonna check that see if Maverick’s digest is live they’re not it’s crazy that’s crazy L’s in the chat for Marc not going to livee it’s uh actually probably W because nothing has happened yet but that’s kind of how it goes but uh stop hitting me hie goodness gracious uh come to Niagara Falls let’s have a Three-Point Contest Lefty assassin Nolan uh no one wants to face me in a Three-Point Contest because I can what’s it called I can be trash but I can also be pretty money wow okay we actually have a bomb I’ll respond a few of the comments there’s some nice comments in here good job Bobby okay that’s whatever we have a bomb this is this is a bomb this is implications in terms of what’s going on around the NBA here now at this point because the Orlando Magic have signed cavius Caldwell Pope to a three-year contract where are you w where are you I want the details a three-year $66 million contract for gavius calwell Pope in Orlando so that’s $22 million a year for kcp that’s a lot of bread that’s a lot of money that’s a lot of money for for cavius called will Pope you know what that means Klay Thompson probably not going to the magic Paul George probably not going to the magic maybe I don’t know if they still have cap say but that means the Sixers because I I had foresight that the Sixers might give kcp and Paul George a dynamic duo there and that would have been bad for the NBA for uh things like that so that’s uh that’s whatever whatever is going around that’s that’s interest that’s an intriguing deal okay kcp got paid kcp got paid that’s a that’s interesting so where’s clay going to go is Clay going to the Mavericks the Warriors are willing to help facilitate a sign in trade so Klay Thompson goes to the destination he likes and Clay is open to going to LA Lakers on mle but he’s also very interested in going to the Dallas Mavericks so I guess the magic are ruled out we just launched a magic digest as well shout out to Patrick making vids doing some different stuff but that’s a nice pickup that’s a nice pickup Bruce Brown Scooby-Doo Scooby-Doo is out here spreading fake news the classic Pope to the magic maybe not Marcel or Ben one-onone that’s me easy I can cook I creep out creep my hoop mixtape on YouTube I can cook uh why Harris is to greetings from Athens any possibility Sasha gets waved uh stem music G no world Sasha gets waved we came out said he’s he’s coming to the Raptors unless he gets traded again but Trent is still a raptor he is as of right now oaji we forget about oaji all the time as well that’s uh that’s that’s what’s happening hope we trade Ben for Ben interesting x-raptor autoporter Jr okay goodness gracious we don’t need that don’t need those comments in here but trch is the next yanis let’s hope so yonas or yakob that’s the real question that’s the real question Bruce might do good in Portland Opus tank we have that draft pick thir years is a player option in canavis call po steel so that’s uh that’s one thing but uh you know that’s that’s stuff that’s going on but play as a raptor no world real mcloven chat’s going bananas out here now at this point the chat is a bit cooked who do you guys want to see tell us in a name out there in the chat who you guys want to see uh on the on the Raptor mix dad young back traded for first bring it back who do you guys want to see with the on the Tron Raptors this season in terms of uh what’s going on I want to see the chat that broke Joel and beat’s ankle can somebody give me an oh yeah and that’s gracious the Raptors are Disney plus of the NBA we hate that we hate that but uh that would be a dream move right now Jaylen Smith would be awesome I would love to see uh Jaylen Smith out there but uh Tobi sers is not not that awesome but kale Martin would be cool Marcel does not want to be live once zero of 10 signs at Dallas that’s true but Nik Batum he’d be an interesting pickup Zion if we could get him that’d be cool I would love Kyle Lowry I would adore Kyle Lowry being signed to the ston Raptor team that is uh that is something that would uh would excite me CAM Johnson is nice Isaiah hardstein we’d have to give a ton of money too so that’s something you have to to factor in so uh that’s something there Duncan Robinson is he a free agent I don’t believe so I don’t believe Duncan is a free agent but Jonas like Yak 69ine dream turned into seven foot dream yeah with with ear Chom baby Ro Chomp CH is the future one you’re away from one you’re away but let’s get a like Spike going folks let’s get a like Spike we got 141 likes but 407 people in the chat what are what are we doing here now at this point I said I promise you guys that numbers be going up we got to keep a keep a look at the number I had the full graphic but I cooked myself I I I did a silly a little silly move deleted the Chrome window for so you guys could uh live watch this but basically What’s the guess in terms of the sub remark we’re almost at 35,000 we have 34,848 people in this chat I got the wrong I’m looking at the wrong camera and I almost just gave all my analytics silly Benjamin but uh you know about 150 Subs away from uh from that 35,000 so let’s try to hit that baby let’s try to hit that I think we can get 46 wins this year if for healthy like I don’t think that’s unrealistic I like I I’ve made some bold takes about the Trona Raptors in the past few years I’ve genu like again this isn’t me just fishing for views being an people like negative content more usually on like on these FD so I’m aware to that I’m actually kind of nerfing myself the way that I naturally am but I am genuinely the most delusional person when it comes to this team I fully believe in my heart of hearts I’m not saying on every vid because I know it’s kind of illogical genuinely think the Tron rapers will be good next season but the you know it’s uh logically we sucked at the end of last year I know Messer is probably going to trade purle Midway through next season and then uh we had Chomp Chay running the center and we’re just going to lose every single game to close off the season but uh but that’s that’s just how it goes we Scooby-Do is calling for the star boy animation I’ll get that rocking I got to rebuild the the animation packages to get that stuff rocking but uh Rob Williams is the backup big I mean take a flower on him the man pulled for pause the man had enough trade value to land the Celtics Drew holiday so that’s that’s something to take into account uh my boy Ben Rogers baby that’s that’s what’s happened but I still believe in Bruno kco I think he’s good do you want Hernandez still available who knows but uh you know the Raptor has got so many great young pieces we do your tags on your videos show your positivity Ben but it’s it is massively misplaced I don’t mind people say calling me out for the delusion I don’t mind it but I am I’m a Believer in this team and the benefit of being the CEO of your own digital media media companies you make any videos you want so no one’s out here getting me to shill bedding things into all your faces and talk about random stuff that nobody cares about we can do what we want on this channel but your tags there star boy animation I’m just asane as you are don’t cry too much ride or die fan hoping for the best every year you got to you know again like when it’s merch and you want that pick you root for the tank but coming in each seon you got to be be a be a believer any chance Koko can be cleared to resign for the minimum I mean like I’d love Christian Koko back but we just got chch to essentially be that replacement piece so I doubt it and like blood clots in the lungs you’re just not risking that you’re not uh you’re not risking that there so that’s kind of what’s going down I’m ending this poll see uh see what the the odds are so 52% no say no 47% say yes in terms of an Andrew Wigan sort of deal going down but uh don’t worry you’re not the only delusional I’m pretty delusional I believe it will be the ninth or eighth that’s fair again like I I’m not say route I’m not of the belief that especially if the Sixers get Paul George that we can compete with the Sixers the Knicks or the Celtics next season but like if things work out things play out correctly we get the Right Moves we get the right pieces I like Scotty Burns I like RJ Barrett and I like IQ as three budding stars in the NBA dare I say super in front of that star for Scotty Barnes but uh like I agree 46 wins I think is super reasonable can we get precious AA animation the next B next yis I I never like I I’ve revamped my setup so a lot of the I’ve been slacking on the lives I I hope you guys appreciate the new tech setup we have not necessarily for the lives it’s a bit chocked here for the lives right now my camera keeps dying all that type of stuff but for the videos that took a lot of work again people Ben Rogers can spam videos because he has all all that software you see on any digest media vid is built by me as a engineering thing and it takes the only reason I’m able to make these because I can edit fast because I spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to build software to be able to do that so that’s how that goes Cooper flag tank job next season let’s get that rocket but who do you think the starts next year who’s coming off the bench IQ r J Scotty definitely starters without a doubt at the four purle starting if he’s on the team I could see Scotty being pushed to four and grd Dick being the starter actually I I could actually see that being the case add some more shooting into the lineup aaji I know I know uh Darko loves aaji Gary Tren J won’t be starting if he’s back on the team that’s one thing I I can guess for certain Jaylen Harris or tank that’s uh that’s what’s going down but uh some guy said the clips are signing the F and John some guy said the clips are signing first time all offenders that’s crazy uh we’ll be closer to 36 and 46 again that’s the logical take Tom M I’m not I’m not saying anyone that disagrees with me is wrong I’m open I’m open to my delusion but I’d rather be I’d rather have my heart broken then not love at all we’re getting deep Cuts here on these streams this reminds me of the Tampa tank Seasons but you know the solo stuff I’d rather have my heart broken than never to love it all that’s that’s how we’re feeling right now I want that clipped into like a one of those shorts from one of those random podcast be one of those weird influencers that uh be Shilling all those quotes and stuff to people that’s the real goal of this channel here motivational clothes as we trudge through another 21n season for the Toronto Raptors not going to happen uh imagine we weren’t bad in 21 but our team would look like imagine if we kept Kawai sad I think it’s finally time to bring in DeAndre I don’t know who that is I’m not saying the last name just in case uh I’d love for grd to play at the stars I think he just makes sense as a starting caliber player that’s uh that’s kind of the the truth like he’s Elite Shooters are great like complimentary pieces because they just unlock the floor so much for for these types of guys and stuff so that’s uh that’s that’s something that’s big but I want to I want to add miles Bridges E1 I’m not up to date in the miles Bridges uh like off the court issues so they’re all like he’s a great basketball player but I don’t know I just like we signs like cool but uh Ben you made this free agency actually enjoyable what a dud so far this a bit of a dud I was I was giving it some hope I was giving it some credit trying to get some but I know exactly what’s going to happen I’m fully aware in terms of what’s going to go down I’m gonna sign off on this I’m gonna get off the stream I’m gonna go eat a little bit eat a little snack cook up some food out there you know something delicious rolling and then Bruce Brown traded Gary Trent Jr signs with the Shanghai sharks like that’s all GNA happen I have to go back live or make different videos or do something so I’m just staying you know we’re keeping it rolling we’re seeing what’s uh what’s happening but are all the guys in NBA young oh my God boy 13 only fans still thousand likes or thousand current viewers I don’t know what the what we were calling for that a Coro would see on Raptors that’s something that’s interesting moo would be interesting Chom like the video shout out uh shout out Rio but uh dominan baby he was good to close out the year dominan was good uh was good out the year he was a good basketball player so that’s something that factored in but uh no let’s see quick at the one RJ at the two Grady at the three that’s an interesting sort of dynamic bring home dear and retire here I I stared lineup of IQ Demar RJ Scotty and purle not a ton of shooting like midi shooting that’s good but uh that’s true Mo Wagner is a free agent I mean we have a lot of centers now at this point uh Carlson is is Brandon Carlson I think he’ll get some run man I think he’s going to get some opportunities but uh and Chomp shade not forget the nexi onas uh don’t give hate to Bruce Brown def agreed AB collection no one should hate these seems like a great dude and like we know what happens with players that aren’t expected to be on teams that aren’t expect it to be uh you know rocking out but like do I want him on the roster probably not like do I want him taking minutes away from jacobe Walter from you know from jayen Shed from davel Mitchell even do I have no I don’t Grady dick RJ Barett probably not is he’s not going to be a part of the future of this team we aren’t that good yet but because he’s going to be he’s going to be expensive right like in the future but does that mean he’s a bad basketball player or he’s a bad guy that we should hate on and trash on no he’s he’s a good dude a nice mustach shout out to Bruce brown but uh how do we feel about Bush on the roster next season the Darko is just not going to play Buche I’m a fan of Buche I think he’s a good basketball player I think he does his thing but basically like we’re not we’re not going to play him he’s not going to get that opportunity he’s not going to get that run for uh for dark oid’s system so it’s just the reality of stuff DK Jones DK Jones is gonna get paid and I think the Mavs want to keep him but I think he’s gonna get paid what’s happened to Chomp TV but underneath the Chom sh Drake or Kendrick who won I support our Global Ambassador I don’t that uh what’s it called I forget the name of the the song that uh that what’s it called the one the a minor one that that cooked Drake but I’ll support the Canadians just for the culture but let’s see Davon Mitchell nor War stays nor stays I’m reading like a crazy person why haven’t the Raptors post about Davon Mitchell yet uh sometimes the trades take some time to go through like officially officially you know so that’s whatever apologies that just ruined people’s ears smoke my microphone but that’s a solid deal time for Chris to go yeah that’s what people are saying jacobe might be he could be our best player in a few years I mean this guy fell in the lottery standings so the course of college but he’s a bucket getter James wise would be awesome I don’t think he’s going to play and then it’s just going to be annoying but uh that’s that’s what’s going down Tio got jao jacobe and dick so I don’t need any Trent No More Love Jones junor though that’s that’s something to factor in something to take a look at let’s do a let’s do a little Twitter scroll I think that’s what we need little Twitter scroll make sure things are no trades have happened no little sneaky rumors have popped up C past the eyes of Raptor’s digest the Clippers are pursuing chrispol wow so fun I hate the Clippers man that franchise should move better world peace is agreed to agreement in principle two-year deal from old W tweets getting reposted that’s what we’ve come conceded down to Old w tweets disappointing disappointing free agency that’s uh that’s what’s happening wjen chams used to be going ban for Bann as soon as free agency started man what’s happened did a Warriors move happen Warriors Warriors digest was live during free agency absolutely crushed it shout out to Warriors digest Channel’s going crazy folks Channel’s going crazy pre bling gr Kyle Lowry that is something I’d like to see Kyle Lowry is something I would like to see not that stupid song not like us that that that that was tough that was tough on our guy Drake but Raptors are 51 team next year baby Corey I would love that I I’m going to get to that state to come next year I’m a bit jit right now I’m a bit sad I’m a bit sad moves didn’t happen so far yet but that’s how it goes Nicholas boom Batum will not return to the Sixers Isaiah hardenstein is uh is uh is having player player option third year that’s how it goes that’s what’s happening Chris Paul back to Devon Booker Chris Paul goes back to Suns that’d be interesting G temples are most important signing the Trona Raptors are sending dear Rose and yaka in Kawai yeah that’s a remember when remember when we used to be good I would take Wiggins if Moody is coming too that’s true for the culture for the culture something happened I need my quick hit of dopamine so the Raptors are good because that’s what’s happening folks I think uh I think what we have to do in order to facilitate a move actually going down down is I know exactly when I turn off this stream when I turn it off a move will happen so what I’m GNA do I’m gonna end the stream now rather than rambling too much I think we’ve been on here for a couple hours end the stream And Trades will immediately go down like that like you know LeBron’s getting traded Luca is going to back to Slovenia like that’s what’s happening when the stream ends I’ll jump back on if than scoping end that’s that’s the game plan but folks I appreciate everyone that’s been in here chatting it up over the last little bit you guys the best thing as far subscribe to the channel signing out cheers I’m pressing the wrong button cheers [Music]
