    The returns for Raptors SUCK. Bruce Brown and a couple of trash picks for Pascal, a top 5 PF in this league? (Pascal is signing the 5 year deal from Pacers come off season because this is his last big contract so he’s staying!) A return of 2024 picks are horrid. 2026 pick from Indy will be in the 20s at best too because Pacers will be better in 2 years’ time. We should have gotten at least a decent young player. Bruce Brown is a short non-athletic SG/SF vet who can’t shoot the 3 (32.7% this year) and can’t defend. Raptors got robbed.

      The picks aren’t great for sure but in what world is Bruce Brown a bad defender? He’s one of the more versatile defenders in this league and an amazing glue guy.
