Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
VanVleet may have started for the Raptors’ title run. With that said, Kawhi Leonard is not walking through that door.
By now, the Raptors are far removed from contention. At 18-23, they may not even make the playoffs. This team is likely to make some significant changes this season.
This would be a wise one. Martin has developed into a nice player. He’s an outlier athlete, decent floor spacer, and solid connective passer. He’d find a place in this rotation.
So would whoever the Raptors drafted with this pick from Milwaukee. Granted, it won’t be a high pick, but it’s still a first-rounder.
