Why The Toronto Raptors Do This Deal
This trade could be solid for the Raptors. On the other hand, it could be exceptional.
Have you given up on Ben Simmons? Fair. A lot of people have. On the other hand, it’s possible that he’s still working through a lingering injury.
If the Raptors get the old Simmons here, they could be committing robbery.
After all, the old Simmons was arguably the best defender in the NBA. He was a top 5 passer as well. With that said, even if Simmons doesn’t have that left in his game, this could be a solid deal for the Raptors.
