After watching the 76ers and Bucks make moves prior to the deadline, the heat was starting to rise in Toronto. Masai Ujiri feels pressure, but as the deadline ticked closer, it felt as if the Toronto Raptors had to do something.
The Sixers added a few nice pieces including Tobias Harris and Jonathon Simmons while the Bucks added sharpshooter Nikola Mirotic. Mirotic is the perfect addition for Mike Budenholzer’s team.
The aggressive moves prove the East should be taken seriously. After the Golden State Warriors, the East may boast the next three best teams in the league in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Toronto.
