The raptors need better bench scoring, so what if they moved GTjr to the bench, but wait they need a big man now. Well that's where the Spurs come in.

Raptors: The Raptors need bench scoring, so by moving Gary Trent to the bench and allowing him to run the bench unit while still get 28+ minutes. This only would be possible by getting a solid proven big man, as Achiwa thrives as a forward and having him off the bench is much more helpful. Therefore, Jakob can be that for the Raptors, acting as the primary big man defender and thriving in the P&R.

Spurs: The Spurs are trying to tank for Wemby and having Jakob only ruins their chances, thus this definitely feels like the best deal as they get two guys who don't have to get minutes and get a top 10 protected pick. This definitely would outbeat a lakers offer as the Lakers don't seem like they are willing to part with 2 picks, thus if the Lakers don't make a move soon or decide to deal Russ to another team, this would be the next best option.

Do you think this trade can go down
