Toronto Raptors trades for Marc Gasol

in #sports5 years ago

The Toronto Raptors traded for Marc Gasol in exchange the Memphis Grizzlies will receive in return Jonas Valanciunias, CJ Miles and Delon Wright. With this trade the Raptors have upgraded their line up adding the former all star and defensive player of the year in their roster. This is in response to moves by Milwaukee and Philadelphia strengthening their rosters for a push in the playoffs. Gasol is averaging 15.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and a combined 2.3 steals/blocks, while shooting a solid 34.4 per cent from distance.

What do you think of this trade? I clearly now see 4 contenders in the east, Boston, Toronto, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia. Who do you think will reach the finals from the Eastern Conference?

Yeah, they want to show Kawhi that they mean business, and hopefully he stays with them.
