Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors are at a crossroads after their underwhelming season. In terms of what this team will do in the future, it is hard to predict. 

Are they going to rebuild? It is possible. If that is the case, then this is a no-brainer. As this team moves forward, Jonathan Kuminga is likely to join Scottie Barnes as the foundation of the team. 

Alternatively, the Raptors may want to stay competitive. If so, they could take a “two-timeline” approach that’s similar to what the Golden State Warriors have been doing.

There is no doubt that they would have to learn from their mistakes, of course. In other words, they would need to give Kuminga a larger role. Nevertheless, they were able to afford to do so.

It is likely that the Raptors will be able to overwhelm their opponents with length and versatility if Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes are playing together at five and Kuminga is playing in the front court. 

If they take advantage of that opportunity, they may not be able to pass it up.
