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.
