Raptors Biggest Need After Trade?

Siakim to DET for...
Bogdonovich, Alec Burks, and Duren

Where in the world is Christian Koloko?

Back up big. Ideally Koloko right now.

But if we could get a Olynyk for cheap, that would be great.

TOR sends: Pascal Siakim, Jacob Poeltl
BRK sends: Nic Claxton, Cam Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith

This isn't bad tbh.. nets gotta add in picks though

at Minimum, need to include an 1 unprotected first.

Nothing will come cheap with Ainge.

I do like Olynyk a lot though, more than Poeltl

They suit different needs. Which is why Utah has essentially been rotating him and Kessler depending on the matchup. Which would be intriguing. He's an expiring 12 million at 32 years old, my guess is they want a 1st. Which is obviously a no.

If he was 27/28 with another year or two of control...

Olynyk is one of those sneaky impact players. He looks so goofy.

Shouldn't the poll say "starting C" ??

In my opinion, the biggest need for the Raptors is more consistent three point shooting. They have some playmakers, they still have some size at every position defensively, and they even still have enough talent to be excited about, but the lack of consistent three point shooting has really hurt because of how this team is currently built. If we're really being honest, they have more than one issue they need to fix, but if they can get two consistent SHOOTERS, heck, even one specialist could change things for them, I'd have more faith in the offense.

I think we need a PF/C type, someone similar to what Ibaka did for us. These types of players aren't easy to come by, but having a player big and skilled enough to play both PF/C effectively would give us so much versatility.

Coincidentally, I think Alex Sarr (in the upcoming draft) fits the mould, I've been drawn to him since the summer and he has been climbing up draft boards. I think the Raptors will look at Kelly O (as others have mentioned) to try and fill this void, and while I'd welcome him, I don't think he's the long term answer.

I also think we need a wing who can provide some shooting / scoring, whether or not Gradey is up for the challenge to take on that role remains to be seen.

Shooting, shooting, and more shooting

A stretch big that can play the coverages that Jak can't and/or can play with Jak in a pinch.

The reason why we are playing Thad is because we don't have that big.

Anywhere we are playing Thad this year points us at our biggest need lol.
