Via Yossi Gozlan of thirdapron.com: "The Toronto Raptors significantly increased their payroll these last 12 hours by acquiring Brandon Ingram and P.J. Tucker.

$2.5 million below tax.

Great piece of business for the Raptors to receive two second-round picks for acquiring Davion Mitchell and one for trading him."
