I think Toronto did a terrific job of selling high on Powell and getting younger and protecting themselves with RFA Trent instead of UFA Powell. I doubt they did that just to lose Trent this summer. Toronto has a very strong front office.
I agree. Norman Powell was a homegrown player that they developed and parlayed into a younger piece. Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam were also homegrown players. My question is can Toronto afford Trent Jr and their lottery player? Is Trent Jr a luxury? Can't they just draft a replacement in what's supposed to be a very deep draft? Could we do a sign and trade? Just some thoughts.
My bad on the full MLE. You're right. It would be the rMLE.
