Posts like this always conveniently forget the treasure chests we were offered when they weren’t expiring distressed assets.
Pascal Siakam: ~$42M annual salary
OG Anunoby: ~$40M
Combined: ~$82M
Brandon Ingram Immanuel Quickley RJ Barrett Jakob Poeltl: ~$118M
So the Raptors traded away two championship-proven, elite two-way forwards and ended up paying MORE for the replacement group.
Either Bobby Webster badly misread the asset base, MLSE/Keith Pelley imposed the wrong constraints, or both.
Infuriating.
