5 Ideal Trade Targets For The Toronto Raptors
Solomon Hill
Definitely a low-risk/high reward-type situation, Solomon Hill finds himself in a peculiar spot.
Even though the Indiana Pacers are in the hunt to contend for a playoff berth this year, Hill finds himself out of the team’s regular rotation after being depended upon throughout the majority of last year.
Additionally, the Pacers made the bold decision this past summer to decline the fourth-year option on his rookie contract, which certainly puts his future with the team in doubt beyond this year.
Given this odd situation, a team like the Raptors might not have to give up all that much to acquire Hill in order to deepen their rotation and give them more versatility on both sides of the ball.
However, the fact that the Pacers went as far as declining Hill’s fourth-year option creates questions about Hill’s character and drive/motor, which will certainly make teams think twice about making a move for him.
Also, his offensive numbers (2.7 points per game on 40 percent shooting from the field and 1-for-15 from three-point range) will not impress teams who need a boost on that end.
