Am I wrong for liking the Raptors' direction right now?

What's wrong with the Ibaka trade
? We get a upgrade at 4 for Terrence, who never lived up to his potential at the 2 anyway. He's an athletic marvel but just never put it all together in Toronto. Accordingly now with Ibaka, we can cut Lowry and bring in both Conley and Wiggins.

Conceivably Raptors could have a decent PG in Conley, freeing up money to sign Wiggins on a max. At the same time, Ibaka causing defensive havoc at the 4. The only thing the Raptors need then is a shooter.

Well I was talking to some hood nikka who just got out the pen a few weeks ago and he was prescient about the Ibaka trade. He inplored that a Lowry release thereafter would free up money for Wiggins at the very least, if not Conley.
Colangelo type logic :wow:

Admittedly he told me this at 2am so maybe I should have taken his opinion with a grain of salt. That being said, what's stopping us from getting Wiggins in free agency, keeping Ibaka and getting a decent PG to round things out?
