With the NBA Trade Deadline less than one hour away, all eyes are on the Toronto Raptor’s GM Masai Ujiri as he contemplates making a deadline deal or standing pat for the 3rd season in a row.
The Raptors are in a tough situation. They are firmly entrenched as the Eastern Conference’s 2nd best team behind LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. But history suggests that despite all the Raptors success, they tend to fall off in the 2nd half of the season, which also leads to a first round exit in the playoffs. This scenario has played out twice before in the past two seasons and that fact alone hunts Ujiri and the organization.
