Toronto Raptors
Key Moves:
- Acquired Marc Gasol from Raptors for Jonas Valanciunas, Delon Wright, CJ Miles and a 2024 second-round pick (per Adrian Wojnarowski).
The Toronto Raptors made quite the wave at the NBA Trade Deadline by snagging possibly the biggest name, excluding Anthony Davis, on the trade block. They landed Marc Gasol for the second half push towards the playoffs.
Perhaps the greatest thing about the move was they they only had to give up Delon Wright and C.J. Miles, apart from JV, in the process. Two good players, but not necessarily too high of a demand for one of the best centers in the NBA when healthy.
The Raptors hit back in the Eastern Conference arms race, and might have come away with the best addition of the day. It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out for Toronto.
