Aaaand we’re off, folks! The NBA trade deadline is underway. Nothing big has happened yet, but the Jazz and Raptors have given us a bit of action.
Toronto just traded a bunch of stuff for Kelly Olynyk, who is certainly a solid player in today’s NBA. He fell out of a starting position in Utah when the Jazz traded for John Collins over the summer, but he’s still very good.
It’s just kind of hard to pinpoint exactly what the Raptors are trying to do with the roster here.
We’re going to make our best effort here as we grade the trade. Let’s dive in.
