Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

Some may suggest we’re being hypocritical here. The Raptors won a title without rebuilding – yet, here we are, suggesting they rebuild. 

Well, the circumstances are not the same. Those Raptors did not have a sophomore Scottie Barnes.

With a potential franchise player to build around, the Raptors ought to be thinking differently. 

Moreover, this deal doesn’t require them to outright tank. Trent Jr. is good, but he’s not this team’s most important player. They could use the draft pick they’re landing here to make a big trade this summer.
