When the internet found out that the San Antonio Spurs and the Toronto Raptors had agreed to swap All-Stars DeMar DeRozan and Kawhi Leonard, it broke, and time has yet to fix it.
DeRozan and Leonard will be the two most talked about players in sports for a while, but they weren’t the only ones involved in the blockbuster trade. Jakob Poeltl and Danny Green are also on the move.
Many are commending the Raptors front office for landing Leonard without parting with any of their young, athletic bench players (OG Anunoby, Pascal Siakam, and Delon Wright), but Poeltl is ripe with value and potential, and the Raptors will miss what he brings to the table.
