The hope is that a healthy Ingram helps improve the Raptors’ tepid half-court offence, and the backline of Barnes and Poeltl and can make up for some defensive shortcomings on the perimeter. If Ingram plays his best basketball, the cost of the acquisition will seem reasonable.

The nightmare of all play-by-play commentators, Dick has had a phenomenal sophomore campaign. Taking the reigns after Toronto lost Gary Trent Jr., OG Anunoby and Dennis Schroder last season, Dick has shouldered a lot of the offensive burden, especially with the extended absence of Quickley (he's missed 39 games).

The Raptors traded Siakam to the Indiana Pacers for Brown, Kira Lewis Jr., Jordan Nwora, and three first-round picks. Toronto traded some of those new assets for Olynyk, who was then shipped out in this deal for Ingram.
