The Toronto Raptors were said to be one of the most aggressive teams in the NBA after the Milwaukee Bucks traded for Nikola Mirotic, and their big move has finally dropped.
The Raptors are reportedly trading Jonas Valanciunas, Delon Wright, CJ Miles and a 2024 2nd-round pick to the Memphis Grizzlies for Marc Gasol. Gasol had been mentioned in rumours linking the teams in the days leading up to the deadline and it appears as if Gasol will be the Raptors big deal.
Raptors fans have had pretty mixed reactions to the deal.
Gasol represents an upgrade defensively and still allows them to space the floor with his ability to shoot the three. With all three teams gunning for the top of the Eastern Conference making big moves at the deadline, only time will tell who made the right moves at the deadline.
