Now the Raptors are on the clock. If they’re going to counter Philadelphia’s move, upgrading their roster and sending a message to Leonard in the process, they have until the 3 p.m. ET trade deadline on Thursday afternoon to do so.
That may have been the plan regardless. The Raptors have been among the league’s most aggressive teams in the days leading up to the deadline, multiple sources tell TSN.
And why wouldn’t they be? You don’t trade your franchise player (DeMar DeRozan) for a top-5 calibre talent (Leonard) on a one-year deal only to get complacent now. President Masai Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster see this season as a window of opportunity for the franchise, and are likely operating accordingly.

Any trades is not a guarantee to make the acquiring team better because you have to take into consideration chemistry and existing system, why as I said the games still have to be played on the court.
But looking at raw stats, these role players I mentioned are more accurate from that aread beyond 22 feet than the players we have. One of them is a career playoff success from deep.
I respect your opinion but i stand by the fact that standing pat this “specific deadline” after everything had transpired is still irresponsible
We can agree to disagree
That's where we get into making a trade for optics (ie for image/for fans) instead of being sure a trade actually makes us better. We can beat any team in the league as constructed, so yeah, getting a role player who may not even fit in or shoot well for us is not a "must-do".

But seriously, getting another dead eye shooter to complement the skillset of Kawhi who commands triple attention especially in the playoffs is a prudent move, isnt it?
Up to Nurse and Kawhi now to make that happen. They have that player or two at their disposal vs. two 28% to 30% clunkerwhite men can't jump wrote: View PostYes but can you make a deal for one of these shooters that you can confidently say makes us better? Because I don't see it.

What a bad year to be hit by the injury bug. I don't know how many games have been missed by starters and primary back-up's but you have to think if everyone was healthy we'd have won enough games to still be in first, and that probably eliminates some of this feeling of "we need to make a trade".

Raptors took 6ers lunch money at wells Fargo for what the 3rd time this year? Fine get harris to take some of Embiids shots. We have JV taking monroes minutes and shots. We are still the 6ers daddy9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
