Hated to give up on AB, but I do already have Cason and Castle doing what he does a bit better right now, and obviously Kyrie as my main hub, so wanted to bolster my wing depth short-term, open up some $ for my draft pick this year, while also seeing if my team can be frisky.

Well here's the updated trading block

The dirt cheap three.
Bradley Beal- $295/3 years
Andrew Wiggins- $285/3 years
John Collins- $226/3 years

Would take a stupid overpay.
Franz Wagner- $52/4 years

The I like them youth guys but would trade in the right deal.
Anthony Black- $43/2(3) years
Tidjane Salaun- $25/3(4) years
Jaime Jaquez Jr.- $21/4 years

The could help a playoff team three but will still cost something.
Quentin Grimes- $35/4 years
Naz Reid- $25/2 years
Isaiah Jackson- $20/4 years
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.
C- Maluach l Jackson
PF- Okongwu l Newell l Salaun

The Toronto Raptors overwhelmed the Indiana Pacers 115-96 for a road win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, in a game in which they never trailed and led by as many as 32 points.

The bench big three, comprised of Collin Sexton, Lu Dort, and Michael Porter Jr. were the most impactful contributors for Toronto, combining for 55 points as a second unit.

An aggressive Raptors defense turned the Pacers over 20 times, in holding yet another opponent below the 100 point mark.

Toronto’s record improves to 31-10, maintaining 1st in the Atlantic, 2nd in the Eastern Conference, and winners of 9 out of their last 10.

Collin Sexton
23 PTS | 4-5 3PT | 7 AST | 3 REB

Luguentz Dort
19 PTS | 5-8 3PT | 5 REB | 2 STL | 1 BLK

Victor Wembanyama
16 PTS | 2-6 3PT | 7 REB | 1 BLK

Michael Porter Jr.
13 PTS | 3 AST | 1 STL

Rudy Gobert
11 PTS | 11 REB | 3 AST | 3 BLK

Derrick White
11 PTS | 3 REB | 3 AST | 4 STL | 1 BLK

Amen Thompson
8 PTS | 6 AST | 4 REB | 2 STL

Aaron Holiday
8 PTS | 3-4 FG | 1-2 3PT
