Yeah, I definitely think the official one is better for y'all as well. The difference between Poeltl and Hartenstein is marginal and definitely not worth giving up a 1st round pick.
good deal for both sides. i think iq is the big piece for you guys.
Still shocked that the Knicks and Raps made a deal happen considering the on-going lawsuit.
With that being said, I'm super excited to watch IQ and tbh, Barrett just as much. I think a change of scenery and being back home will help maximize RJ's potential. He always brought his best whenever he played for Team Canada, so hopefully it carries over to the Raps.
As for OG, he's another guy who I believe will greatly benefit from a change of scenery. His defensive numbers may be down this season but don't be fooled, he's still one of the game's best perimeter defender and one of the few guys that can guard 1-5.
Offensively, he's just a 3pt shooter. That's all. I was never as high on OG as other Raptors fans but even I can admit that he's exactly the type of player every contending team needs.
(One thing that y'all better get used to is him running over his defenders. Guys built like a truck and doesn't realize it to this day.
