The dust has largely settled from the 2023 NBA trade deadline and Toronto Raptors fans were upset when it all concluded on Thursday and many still have negative feelings about the decisions made by Masai Ujiri and the front office. Many were looking for the team to be sellers at the deadline but if anything the team largely became buyers be brining in Jakob Poeltl from the San Antonio Spurs to finally provide their team with a big rim protector. Poeltl is a good player but it was quite a sum of assets paid by Masai Ujiri to make this trade happen. Regardless of what all went down from a front office standpoint, one thing is clear and that is the fact Jakob Poeltl is a good player that helps this team.
A lot of focus has been put on the front office and not enough has been put on what the player brings to the team and why Bobby Webster and co. were so keen on bringing him in. It was a large asking price but it seems as though the Raptors have got their guy. There is definitely a reason why he is here today and the impact he can have on this team going forward can be quite profound.
