Raptors surely got attracted with those first round picks that Pacers offered to them, like you mentioned, all the star players during that
season that they become champions are all gone,
It's about time for Siakam and the Raptors to decide and now is the best timing for them, what will be the outcome still unknown, only
time can tell if which side will be the benefactors of this trade.
toronto raptors are currently playing very badly. currently toronto raptors are only ranked 12th in the eastern conference still outside the playoff zone.
if currently want star players, it's not too late because to enter the playoff zone, you can only be ranked in the top 10.
But what indiana pacers want to release their star players. if and raptors must release players whose contract value or quality of players is equivalent.
Speaking of Raptors, they are in a very close game against the Bulls are their homecourt, current score is 105-106 Bulls. But Kobe White's three is being reviewed right now if there is a shot clock violation or he did get it on time.
As for the trade, it's obvious that they are done with their rebuilding phase as they have traded their last player from their championship team. Now, it's Barnes to lead the Raptors in their next couple of seasons and then some of their picks from the Siakam trade.
