Raptors do nothing – again – as trade deadline passes

President & General Manager Masai Ujiri of the Toronto Raptors just sat out his second straight NBA trade deadline (emphasis on dead). He wasn’t alone; I’m hard-pressed to recall a day of such inconsequence. The biggest name to move was Markieff Morris, whom the Phoenix Suns actually got value for. While I pitched him as a possible power forward for our team, I’m hardly distraught that Washington has him. I suppose Jeff Green and Lance Stephenson changing teams might have been news a year ago, but barely causes a ripple now. Anyway, Green is a Los Angeles Clipper, while Stephenson and a first-round pick in 2019 move to Memphis.
