Why Toronto Does This?
If the Raptors are looking to rebuild, this would be a great start & package to acquire for Pascal Siakam. In total, they receive essentially 5 1sts, a young player in Chris Duarte, & an excellent role player in Bogdan Bogdanovic who can potentially be flipped in the offseason or kept alongside Scottie Barnes for his shooting. Moving on from Pascal Siakam allows both OG & Scottie to become the main options on the team & usher in a new era in Toronto.
