Sad News:The Raptors’ greatest error during the NBA trade deadline in 2024
- The Raptors’ greatest error during the NBA trade deadline in 2024
- After considerable debate, the Toronto Raptors ultimately had to face reality and let go of two of their important players, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby, which effectively put an end to a prosperous period of Raptors basketball. It wasn’t entirely obvious how the team would escape the league’s hated middle ground without taking such significant and extreme measures, given their current situation. They now know exactly how to develop around the young talents of RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and Scottie Barnes.
There are still a few patches of mud on their windshield, though, so their direction may not be as obscure as it once was. The Raptors’ current retooling strategy is indecisive, which isn’t necessarily a bad decision—if any at all.
