Former All-Star Brandon Ingram heads north in exchange for Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk and multiple draft picks, including a 1st.

The Toronto Raptors made their big move of the NBA Trade Deadline. There was skepticism around how 'real' the Raptors' interest was in Brandon Ingram, but everyone got their answer last night. Masai Ujiri and company made the move to acquire the New Orleans Pelicans star.

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.
