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.

Gary is going to be lucky to get 10+ mill/year at this point. His agent completely failed him but hes not the only agent that's done that. Caleb Martin and his agent turned down a 5 year/65 mill extension from Miami. He ended up signing for 4 years/32 mill. Lol I'd be firing my agent.

I wanna eavesdrop on those conversations via a 4k livestream :P what were these guys thinking.

GTJ didn't want to play for the RAPS anymore IT was time for him to move on to play with a contender team. At just 25 yrs old plenty of basketball ahead of him LOVE you GÀRY ❤

Thanks again from Ontario

Trent Jr is inconsistent and underwhelming so Im surprised they were even considering negotiating with him when they have gone in the direction they are in. Good luck elsewhere Jr.

i like GTJ but...i didnt get to see him taking that grit to take his game or raptors to the next level...its just like always on auto pilot...maybe time to move on....give Jakobi walter a shot

I have a feeling he should have taken 15 million deal we were offering. I would be shocked if he gets more than that.

Congratulations on 35k! You deserve it Ben! Putting out content nonstop

$15 million is great for a one-dimensional player.

The implication of drafting best player available is that it can lead to overlap, so when the picked Walter, GTJ was gone

All the best for GTJ on his new team.

he over estimated his value to the team

25 mil is crazy, best of luck to him

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.

I'm ok with Gary moving on, I kept thinking there was more to see from him but it never happened. Minutes for Gradey now

I knew it! This man fail to grow he failed to improve and some times I watched this man trying to dunk in game and fails miserably. Yes he can shoot but only sometimes he is consistent so I can definitely see why. And besides he doesn’t pass the ball.

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.

Mssai gave Trent the Lou Williams treatment 😂 BYE!

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.

@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.

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.

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.

Ty from germany for the nice years Gary ❤

The only thing Gary can do is score.. and he does that very inconsistently. I personally like him, I think he can be a solid solid player if he was more consistent, but yeah.. if he doesn’t wanna be here, this goodbye won’t be a heartbreaking one

love ya dude, but can we stop with the "trading Brown" chatter....we are stuck with him this year. Why the heck they picked up that 23 million dollar option is beyond me.

Hardly a massive report is it? When a player isn't signed before being a UFA, the chances of resigning is about one in thirty.

I like GTJ but he’s not worth the asking price. He can shoot 3’s and that’s about it. Not a good mid range game. Doesn’t have a floater. Not the best defender. Best of luck to him.

He's worth it

maybe we can help him with a sign and trade

What contender has 25 mill right now? Brodie might aswell go to Utah. They got 25 lol. Or Clippers.

Can we just tank and get Cooper Flagg, already.
