Gary Trent Jr. is creating the very financial crunch that the Toronto Raptors management seemingly were trying to avoid by trading for him and Rodney Hood. Since he’s joined the Raptors, Trent has been good. Very good.

He is shooting 39 percent on the three-ball and is averaging 17.9 points per game since joining Toronto. Saturday night vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers, Trent led Toronto to a dominant win 135-115 in one of the most efficient 40 point games in NBA history.
