Potential price tag to get Kevin Durant Is not the most important thing for RaptorsClaim National Post Scott StinsonHe says Durant’s motivation to actually play in Toronto and deciding whether to invest should be the most important factor for the team’s key decision makers.
As Stinson writes, Durrants’ motive for a deal from Brooklyn remains a bit vague, especially since he signed for just four years. expansion Last August.It should be related to the vice chairman and president of the basketball business Masai UjiriAccording to Stinson, dealing with a superstar who may not be engaged or may be on the same page as the club can be disastrous.
Draw similarities to Ujiri’s trade Kawhi Leonard According to Stinson, the 2018 off-season Durant Sweepstakes are meaningless because the situation is not similar.
Leonard was injured and missed almost the entire 2017/18 season, his contract expired and the Raptors team Kyle Lowry When DeMar DeRozan I was given enough time to open a breakthrough in the east, but I couldn’t get through Lebron James.. The Raptors finished second in the east two years after Leonard left Toronto, so apparently the team remained competitive and didn’t mortgage the future to buy him, Stinson wrote. ..
Durant, on the other hand, has a four-year contract remaining, so it’s clear that it will cost a lot to land. In addition, the current version of the Raptors dominates with the Rookie of the Year. Scottie Barnes, Gary Trent JuniorWhen Precious Achiuwa Among the new additions that made a significant contribution to the team that improved the total wins from 27 to 48. Dealing away from the new core to succumb to the idea that only Durant will stay can put Toronto in a difficult hole to climb, says Stinson.
