Having walked you through the worst trades in Toronto Raptors history, I need to balance the books by showing the best deals our General Managers have pulled off over the years. Some of these were immediately hailed by Raptor loyalists as fleecings (or condemned by observers from the other side), while other deals took time to prove their worth.
As before, I’m not going to list every bit of salary-balancing fluff which attaches to so many transactions. Let’s advance from the fifth (sixth actually; I’m offering a bonus trade because I can’t make up my mind which to eliminate) -best trade to the franchise’s finest.
