Someone on Reddit brought up a good point. Would you rather spend $60M next season on RJ/IQ or OG/Bridges? To me it's not even close to being an argument. I'll take OG/Bridges 15/10x. $35M-$40M is the new benchmark for high level starters. Just watch what Derrick White gets in his new deal. We're playing with big boys now.

Good points, Toronto is paying for the still potential that is soon to blossom and we have bonafide producers and chemistry. RJ/IQ at 23 have a different timeline to what we are with our guys playing with Randle and JB.
Good trade for both! The way most deals should be. IM sure both fans want to think they won the trade. Lets see in 5 years how it turns out. Maybe knicks win a chip in two years, Raptors a few after that? LOL!!!

IQ just got 5yrs 175m. OG is worth the extra 30m.

I don’t disagree but ultimately it comes down to whether OG can be healthy and available come playoff time. Probably the only way to effectively protect him from injury is have him come off the bench with Mikal and Randle starting at the Forward positions during the regular season
