He's the anti Clingan. Stats don't come close to reflecting his (lack of) impact.

I'm ready to move on.

Just a shame Rob is made of glass. He woulda been the perfect long term backup to split C duties with Donovan. Would be really nice to keep RWIII and move Ayton, but that's tough to justify given the injury history.

Oh, I have no illusions that Ayton is worth keeping around. Just saying that of all his flaws, rebounding is really not one to point to.

I saw a fan article the other day suggesting Toronto should trade for Ayton, providing us with some youth and a draft pick or two. I'd be all for it.

This one?

Not sure what picks would be involved, but I could get down with this.

Gotta say, Bruce Brown's $23M expiring has to be one of the better trade assets out there. If I were a Raptors fan (paging @speeds), I'd be pretty pissed if they didn't end up using it for something significant.

Rob you keep unless a team offers a FRP. If they do then sure grab the asset. If not then Rob is great to have on the team.

Ayton I just want gone. I'm hoping that at least after the trade deadline we can just have him sit at home the last few months of the year. Would rather have a scrub in his place.

Ayton is on a max contract - I can't imagine Masai considers bringing him in unless we are the one giving up a pick. But who knows, Masai has done some other head scratching moves.

I'd also be happy trading Ayton for someone old and worthless without any picks, which seems much more realistic.

I'd give up a 2nd round pick in that deal.

That is it.
 
Crappy game. I thought we would have been more competitive. I think Zubac being back made a huge difference. Just like for us, losing KlingKong has proven to be significant. A large defensive center still has a place in the nba it seems.
