With the trade deadline only days away, rumors are flying around everywhere. The Toronto Raptors are no different. Just recently, it was reported by Jake Fischer that the Raptors have offered Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Mike Conley and Marc Gasol.
A trade that, to be frank, doesn’t make sense. The logistics don’t make sense from a Raptors perspective, and the overall framework doesn’t make sense for the Grizzlies.
Why the Raptors say no
Mike Conley and Marc Gasol are comparable to Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas.
