I have to admit, I have a better understanding of NHL and MLB roster construction than NBA. I look at players like Issac Bonga of the Wizards, who is 3rd and 4th depth at the forward positions, but has all of the stats screaming potential starter. It looks like for whatever reason, he is being mishandled by the Wizards.

Why is this guy not a low-buy target of the Raptors to play first option PF after Siakim off the bench? Exactly what they need. Strong defense, decent/growing offense, clutch player.

I get that it's a star driven league, but when you have a perennially poorly run organization like Washington, why not victimize them with a low risk/high reward trade? Much better option than Harden.
