Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
Mo Bamba hasn’t lived up to expectations with the Orlando Magic so far. He may be due for a change of scenery.
The Raptors feel like the perfect team to give it to him. They’ve got a need for a big man who spaces the floor and defends the rim. For all of his flaws, Bamba does both.
Moreover, the Raptors are known for their developmental prowess. If there’s a better player inside of Bamba, the Raptors will find him.
Of course, that’s not necessarily the main incentive for Toronto here. That would be Orlando’s 2024 first-round pick.
