Toronto Raptors Receive: LaMarcus Aldridge
San Antonio Spurs Receive: Norman Powell, Aron Baynes, Patrick McCaw, 2021 1st Round Pick
LaMarcus Aldridge would improve the frontcourt for the Toronto Raptors in this particular scenario. This is something that the team could use over the second half of the season to add more scoring punch to their team around their top options.
We have seen the strength of the big men in the Eastern Conference and the Raptors will need to keep up. Given his current contract situation, Aldridge will not be expensive.

The Spurs just need to find a trade partner so he does not leave in free agency. Right now, Aldridge does not fit into the future plans. This means players like Norman Powell and Patrick McCaw could be going to San Antonio. Aron Baynes and a first-round pick in this year’s draft could be the return.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal will benefit both sides moving forward.
