    Looks confident from deep. Can he defend?
    Defensively he is okay but not great and being on Sac-town doesn't help.

        Then two years from now Masai will trade him for someone in their second or third season, and we will have the perpetual 15th man cycle

          the question is, why Sacramento made this trade?

            Salary considerations. They don't renew Bruno's contract so they have more room next season. Raps traded because Richardson is paid less this year, so Raptors have room under the tax to take on a buyout candidate this season if one becomes available.

              Also fills up a roster spot next season for basically the minimum, tax-wise, and gives them a look at a first round prospect at that price instead of just another min salary guy.

                My guess is they are hoping either Malcolm Miller or Malachi will be a solid 3 & D from the bench so they can shad some salary (Bebe), resign Fred and probably trade Powell if everything else falls into place.

                  Yeah, Bebe's expiring, so only way he's back IMO is if he'll sign for the minimum or close to it.

                  Trading Powell may be easier said than done with the league's cap situation this summer, but perhaps with luck the same cap situation suppresses FVV's market.

                    If you're trading Powell or anyone the ideal scenario is they're packaged where it's 2 or 3 for 1 upgrade. We have the same gift/curse as most masai ujiri teams..an embarrassment of depth, could use more top end talent

                      Actually, Raps could get the best of both worlds in this scenario:

                      Norm is basically an MLE signing for a team - but at an age where he'd usually be RFA, so would be tough to pry away. At the draft though, he can be traded on his current deal - so the other team needs only to send out a minimum deal (or have a TPE to fit 1.5M) to match salaries, even though Norm makes much more in the summer.

                      For the pile of teams projected not to have cap space but to be well clear of the tax this summer, trading for Norm is essentially like being able to use two MLE's in the summer instead of just one. So if the team makes the decision to move him at the draft, it will be interesting to see how that goes. It's a teeny tiny window that could be leveraged into an easy trade, and whether teams would be willing to give up a late 1st for that is yet to be seen but if they would, it would be another notch on Ujiri's asset management belt.

                      And with the limited number of exceptions and little cap space out there, and with his RFA status, FVV may fall far enough on teams' FA lists that he just doesn't get a piece of the exception pie, meaning the Raps get all the leverage in contract talks. If the market is dry, the biggest move FVV has is to accept his QO - but as a 2-year player, after he plays out his QO year, he's be a restricted free agent AGAIN the following summer, again with a tiny QO, though hopefully (for him) with a better market. And the Raps would love to have him back on his QO for a year before figuring out a real contract.
