Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

The decision to move out of a rebuild would be a bold one for the Magic. By contrast, the decision to rebuild seems obvious for Toronto. 

At 22-27, this team is clearly on the decline. Something isn’t working here. Whatever that is, it needs to change. 

Could it be the lack of a rim-protecting big man? If so, this is a good deal for the Raptors. Bamba can defend the rim eat a high level – he’s a player type the Raptors are missing. 

Still, the obvious draw for them here is Chicago’s first-round pick. As it stands, the Bulls could easily end up in the lottery.
