Per Zach Lowe’s podcast on Raptors:

“He won’t be a primary decision maker, defenders all around him, they have a lot of salary that they could put together that’s not long term- Gary Trent Jr, Chris Boucher, Thaddeus Young, that’s close enough of a salary match for Toronto to get them there - 38 million (insane that we have that much locked up for those 3 guys) that they won’t be pushed into luxury tax, saves some money for Chicago, and throw in a couple picks” (suggested 2028 and 2030)

“Chicago fans wouldn’t be excited about that, but whatever sorry”

“The raptors need shooting, and roving shooting, and ball handling and explosive shooting SO badly, especially around the 3 of Barnes, Siakam, and Anunoby, he fits like a glove. Toronto is just okay, I think they know they are just okay”

Acknowledges the problem is that we have so many long term decisions looming with contracts and 3 key players headed into free agency
