Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
Short answer: yes. This clearly isn’t working.
The Raptors’ pecking order is just off. Siakam should be a second option, and Fred VanVleet should be a third.
This team does not have championship potential. With that said, it does have tremendous potential in general. Scottie Barnes could be a future star, and OG Anuonby is still young enough to improve.
With that in mind, the Raptors should turn to the future. This deal has them netting three young players with star potential (including the Blazers’ ’23 pick).
