Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
They say a good compromise leaves both parties unsatisfied. In that case, this is a good trade – Raptors fans may not love it either.
It’s definitely risky. This team is not on pace to make the NBA playoffs. Why should they be making a win-now move?

His ability to space the floor is key too. Porzingis will hurt this team’s pace, but not their space. He should improve their half-court offense – and defense.

In adding him, the Raptors could overwhelm opponents with size on a nightly basis.
That may be the best recipe to avoid blowing up this core.
