Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
This would be a bold move from the Raptors. Some of their fans wouldn’t like it.
After all, this team is having a losing season as well. Why should they look to improve on this struggling team when they could simply join the Spurs in the race to the bottom?
Well, they’re fairly far behind. The Raptors are in the middle of the league’s standings. This front office could decide that it’s too late to tank.
With that in mind, reuniting with Poeltl should help them improve now. He’s evolved into one of the league’s better defensive big men, and the Raptors don’t have an anchor like him at the moment.
