Smith & Jones

Eric Smith and Paul Jones are back with former Raptors executive and current Senior Advisor to the Pistons, Ed Stefanski! He shares some memories from when he was in New Jersey of trading for Vince Carter and all that went into that. The guys then get into his time with the Raptors and what both he and Brian Colangelo built in Toronto. Later, the trio look back on the trade that sent Kyle Lowry to Toronto and discuss what his presence has meant to both the franchise and city, before debating whose jersey should go up to the rafters in Scotiabank Arena next. Eric and Paul wrap up with their memories of the Vince trade and provide some examples of when trading a superstar can work out.
