Raptors Missed Big Opportunity with Stewart

Toronto missed a golden chance to land Isaiah Stewart, the perfect physical backup center for Jakob Poeltl, who slipped through their fingers as Detroit shipped him to Memphis for just three second-round picks. Stewart, a 25-year-old Sixth Man of the Year candidate known for his defense and energy, would’ve been an ideal fit for Toronto’s style. With Poeltl struggling with injuries and slow defense, Stewart was the affordable, high-impact solution they needed. Memphis got a steal, Detroit cleared $15M in cap space, and Toronto could’ve pulled it off with a first-round pick or even a three-team trade — but they didn’t act. Now, they’re left with a glaring roster hole and a missed opportunity to strengthen their future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
