The NBA is not an easy place to make predictions. Teams defy our expectations on a regular basis.
For example, look at the Toronto Raptors. Fans around the league expected them to be major sellers at the recent trade deadline.
Instead, they made a win-now upgrade by acquiring Jakob Poeltl from the San Antonio Spurs.
It was a bold move. This Raptors club is having an underwhelming season. Still, there’s enough talent on this team to invest in.
One of its more talented players is OG Anunoby. He was a particularly popular trade target this season, but he remains a Raptor.
Could the team defy our expectations again by sending him to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Karl-Anthony Towns?
