TRADE DEADLINE LIVE REACTION: Raptors add Kelly Olynyk + Ochai Agbaji, trade Dennis Schröder & keep Bruce Brown

Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1572, Sean Woodley goes solo for a live reaction episode to break down the Toronto Raptors' moves at the NBA Trade Deadline, as they acquired Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji from the Utah Jazz for Otto Porter Jr., Kira Lewis Jr. and the worst of their first-round picks in this 2024 draft, moved Dennis Schröder and Thad Young to the Nets for Spencer Dinwiddie in a cost-saving measure, and held on to Bruce Brown despite plenty of rumours that he'd be moved on Thursday. Off the top, Sean digs into the many reasons why the Olynyk/Agbaji trade was a nice bit of business for the Raptors, from the potential to retain Olynyk beyond the expiry of his current contract at season's end, to Agbaji being a better bet than a very late first round selection to become a rotation piece in the next couple years. Next, Sean details the strange Schröder trade, and why it's not as damaging as it could have been considering the addition of Olynyk and the retention of Brown to serve as their backup point guard. This one's all about saving money in the summer, so the full grade will have to wait. Lastly, Sean talks about the Raptors' decision to keep Bruce Brown, and why it's a perfectly fine choice considering the optionality having him on their books will give them this summer.
