What if the Raptors don\u0027t land Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers?
We apologize, but this video has failed to load.The front office, led by Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster, has opted to be as patient as monks meditating for hours on end. Instead of picking a direction, either loading up and sacrificing future assets, or selling off the likes of Siakam, OG Anunoby, Gary Trent or VanVleet at the trade deadline, they punted, and actually picked up a viable starting centre in Jakob Poeltl after oddly experimenting for a couple of years without one.
Or maybe it somehow does work, if Barnes or Siakam can boost their accuracy from beyond the arc and maybe with last year’s free-agent signing Otto Porter Jr., an excellent shooter, able to contribute this season. It would give management even more of their precious evaluation time. If it doesn’t work, they could sell off whichever coming free agent most likely not to return to build up a war chest for the future.They’ve talked about making a big move to turn the keys of the franchise over to Barnes, but Toronto drives a hard bargain.
