Why wasn't Lowry and Conley included in this deal?

Gasol is coming off the bench some point tonight to make his Raps debut.

Grizzlies probably wanted nothing to do with Lowry so they passed on Ujiri's initial offer, then circled back later.

I didn't think they would trade for Gasol but I did think JV should have been dealt. Raps are better but are still missing a shooter.

Yep, they need another reliable wing player behind Green/Leonard. Anunoby can't be trusted right now.

Hope Lin can be that spark.

Lin isn't a wing player. He'll help offset the loss of Van Vleet.

They added Ben McLemore which kinda helps but they could use another wing player.

He's not but he is a better scorer than VV. At least career wise.

Gasol is impressing me so far with his play and he's only going to get better with time as he learns the Raptors system.

Nope.
