The Toronto Raptors might’ve been trying to work out the particulars of their Kyle Lowry sign-and-trade last night, but their other main priority this offseason had to be making sure that Gary Trent Jr. ended up back in Toronto after an encouraging stint with the squad.
Acquired from the Portland Trail Blazers in the same deal that sent Norman Powell to Oregon, Trent could thrive as a tertiary gunner with Toronto, as players like Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Carmelo Anthony, and Jusuf Nurkic taking shots away from him with the Blazers.
