Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
Yes. As of now, the Raptors run the risk of getting stuck on the mediocrity treadmill.
We’ve seen this afflict teams in the past. They’re not good enough to really contend, and they aren’t bad enough to land a top lottery pick either. This deal ought to help the Raptors avoid that situation.
If they trade Pascal Siakam as well, that’ll hold especially true. In that event, the Raptors will be building around Scottie Barnes.
This deal gets them off to a good start. A strong shooting wing like Murray will complement Barnes. So will an elite point-of-attack defender like Mitchell.
