Sabonis Trade? Raptors Weigh Pros and Cons | Toronto Raptors News

Toronto Raptors nearly pulled off a blockbuster trade for Domantas Sabonis before the deadline, but ultimately passed — and here’s why: while Sabonis is an elite rebounder and All-Star playmaker, his poor three-point shooting (18.5%) would worsen Toronto’s spacing issues, especially with Kawhi Leonard potentially joining. Plus, he’s on a $94M contract and demands draft assets, which the Raptors don’t have to give up for a player who already excels in areas they’re strong in. The real need? Shooting and rim protection — think Myles Turner, not Sabonis. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
