Bobby Webster dropped a little bomb after the “trade deadline”… without giving a name. Friday, on The Fan Morning Show, the GM of Raptors thus ensured that the biggest transaction attempted by Toronto did not even leak to the press: “The big fish we approached wasn’t even mentioned. »
And if he refuses to go into details, Bobby Webster especially insisted on the reason for the failure: the price. In a context of reconstruction, Toronto did not want to overpay: “We didn’t want to find ourselves in a situation where we felt like we were paying too much… The prices at that time were a little high for us. »
As a result, after looking at more ambitious options, the franchise ended up opting for caution by recovering Trayce Jackson-Davis from Golden State against two second rounders, Broken Black and cash. A risk-free transfer that better fits the current philosophy of the Canadian club.
Behind the scenes, several sources indicate that Toronto has also taken the temperature on interiors like Day’Ron Sharpe et Goga Bitadzebut that the demands would have been considered much too high. Enough to fuel the mystery around this “big fish” mentioned by Bobby Webster…
While we have talked a lot about the track Domantas Sabonismaybe the Raptors tried to recover instead Jarrett Allen even Evan Mobleyof the Cavaliers, following the transfer of Darius Garland.
Finally, in the short term, the real expected reinforcement remains however Jakob Poeltl. Hit in the back and absent for a long time, the pivot is expected by his coach, Darko Rajakovic, before the All-Star Break.
