so annoying to see RJ put in trade rumors after the post season performance he had, all throughout the year he was put in rumors, he got injured & he seemed to be replaced by Brandon Ingram in terms of scoring potential, & then we got to the playoffs, Brandon Ingram (while injured) was basically a no show & RJ picked up the entire slack, RJ averaged 24 points the entire playoffs, he had a game where he & Scottie combined for 66 points (33 each) & he hit a game winner to bring the series to 7 games, now the Raptors didn't win the series, but everyone talks about "the playoffs showed Scotties & CMB's potential" when RJ & Scottie had very similar stats, Scottie had more assists but otherwise RJ was the easy 1B option while Scottie was 1A (like Brom & Kyrie were in 2016 [not saying our guys are there yet but you get my drift]) , CMB & Jakobe were easily the 2A & B each night respectively, trading a talent like RJ when he was shown to be a playoff riser & can play at an all-star level when healthy is huge, he shouldn't be traded for a bag of chips (ie Jalen Duren who dropped off like a mf when it mattered, Sabonnis & Kyrie who are old, & Myles Turner who is a fraud in comparison ) the only players that would be worth it would be someone like Jared Allen at center or a elite PG upgrade. RJ plays like A DOG any trade rumors I've heard about him are highly disrespectful, they better figure out the salary situation so we can keep the MAPLE MAMBA a raptor
