Everything that I've seen written about him or that GTJ has commented on, shows a good teammate who appreciated living and working here in Toronto. I say bundle your hate up for the bad characters - not Gary. Gary would have been signing for $20 million per year and up, but the CBA was changed and the whole market for the pure shooters who don't do much else is limited with the Cap changes. The agent shouldn't get a nickel from Gary.

@mikeyjames 15 күн бұрын

The man is a ball stopper on offense. Melo mentality but he doesn’t even have Melo talent. I don’t know why people are making a big deal about Trent walking. Even at 18 mill I don’t want him back. I don’t rate his shot selection. There’s been a couple games where Trent has shot us out of games.

@buenokitty3497 16 күн бұрын

Yeah gtj had his opportunity toprove his worth end of season when he was starting. And while everyone was injured or getting busted gambling or prayers and strength to barrett fam for their loss he should have led the team. Instead he bet on himself and just started chucking and launching 3s rather than prove he could fit in darkos system. I want BB traded but he has so much more to offer than gtj and who would you rather have mentoring the youth? A 1 dimensional 3pt specialist or a nba champ who played with murray and jokic? Yeah id rather spend on that and bank on Gradey replacing gtj mentored by BB and Temple Tysm gtj and hope you get picked up elsewhere in the league. As for boucher. Again its tough to move him at iis age and salary. Most likely end up like Ryker: filler in some trade to another team.

That is the same for all shooters, though. Look at Klay. Gary has the same stats as old Klay does now. Klay has big games still, but other games can't hit a shot ... anywhere. If you can't defend well, the worth of the pure shooter is obviously less. It's tough to give away $20 million for one dimensional players nowadays.

doubt anyone paid him anything near $20m+/season. which means... he took a pay cut from those wild $25m/season estimates to be on a contender. let's see what he is signs for... maybe a 2 year deal for $32m would be my guess.

@yzerfitz 16 күн бұрын

@mogwai_for_sale I'd bet he will have to sign for an annual salary substantially less than that. Especially if it's with a contender. The NBA 'middle class earners' (like Gary) are being seriously squeezed out.

Thank you for letting him go. My ex loved him. Lmao. He’s a good shooter but if he’s not a starter he doesn’t like the bench role. Teams forced him to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim and he struggled. He’s a 20 scorer on a bad team. But I told you to trade him last year. I’m still upset at the raptors Bruce brown trade and not getting a draft pick to get a 3 and D centre. Portal Chris and Brown has to go I like Chris a lot but coach won’t play him and if Sasha stays his spot is gone. And we need a 3 and centre and another OG type 3 and d 6’9 guy. Then we’ll make playoffs but we won’t be a chip team unless we get an all star centre alla Ad Embid jokic Porzingis

I really hope Bruce Brown can be flipped during Vegas Summer League and Chris Boucher (since Darko won't play him) so GTJ still has a viable path back to Toronto. A roster can never have too many shooters on it and GTJ was the Raptors best 3pt shooter on the roster. As well as, solving the Sasha Vezenkov roster spot quagmire. A starting 5 of IQ, GTJ, RJ, Barnes, Poeltl is solid. And backed up by a bench 5 made up of Mitchell, Brown, Dick, Vezenkov, Olynyk is a nice mix. With a deep reserve 5 of Shead, Walter, Agbaji, Temple, Mogbo is workable. Add in the 2 way guys Carson, Carton and Chomche and that's a nice 18 man roster. If not, GTJ should land on his feet somewhere via free agency or a potential S&T.
