Agree

As others have said, I don't think the Raptors will make any moves prior to the season

I do expect the Raptors to do something at the TDL to drop below the tax. There are really only 3 players on the roster who they are likely to trade to shave $2-3M in salary, enough to duck the tax and have a 15-man roster: Agbaji, Dick and Barrett. I'd also throw Ingram on to the list of possibilities because I'm not at all sold on him as a #1 option and I think he's the only one who could yield any real assets coming back, but I'm not expecting the Toronto FO to be so pessimistic and flip BI within 12 months of getting him.

Exactly who gets moved will probably depend mostly on who they want to keep long-term, but also how much it costs to move, injuries, etc.
In a no-win argument, the first poster to Let It Go will at least retain some peace of mind

Dariq has the potential to be a good shooter but IMHO he's going to join an already crowded SG/SF rotation trying to fight for minutes. Both RJ and Ingram look to be starters and I have Walter and Gradey post trade as higher on the DC. Whitehead is fighting Martin, Lawson, Battle and Temple for scraps. I don't see why Toronto is doing this to duck the tax. IMHO they could get better at tyre deadline for Ochai

Dariq has far more upside and is younger. He needs more time.
