Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
Meanwhile, the Raptors are in a vastly different situation than the Nets.
They don’t have a Kevin Durant to persuade. Pascal Siakam is an outstanding talent, but he’s not Durant. Moreover, he doesn’t seem to have made any trade requests at this time.
Moreover, the Raptors have most of their own future draft capital. They can afford to take a long view and turf a quality rotation player for some future-focused draft capital.
This deal lands them two picks and a swap. The Raptors should be interested in Sharpe too. He’s got some upside, and they’re low on big men.
