Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
Meanwhile, the Raptors don’t necessarily do this deal with positions in mind at all. They’re simply trading for a good player.
After years of failing to meet his potential, Bol meets those criteria. His ball-handling and shooting ability at his size gives him star potential. Meanwhile, he’s still young enough to make plenty of improvements.
At the same time, he does fit Toronto’s preferred profile. After adding Bol Bol, they’ll only increase their ability to run multiple big playmakers at the same time.
Unless they make a trade, of course. That’s the other benefit for the Raptors here. If they choose to rebuild, they could receive a haul for Pascal Siakam and put Bol in his place.
