Toronto Raptors Receive: C/F Anthony Davis
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Gary Trent Jr., F OG Anunoby, C Precious Achiuwa, 2024 First-Round Pick, 2026 First-Round Pick
Despite the recent injuries, there is still plenty of value around Anthony Davis. He is one of the best big men in the league and this is valuable if he is able to stay healthy.
The Toronto Raptors have made some big moves in the past in order to compete. Who can forget the acquisition of Kawhi Leonard that led to the first title in franchise history?
Perhaps Davis could have a similar impact anchoring the unit as the rim protector the team sorely needed when they lost to Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the 2022 NBA playoffs.
In return, Toronto would have to part ways with Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr. as the centerpieces of their trade package. To add further value, Precious Achiuwa and a pair of first-round picks would be included for the Lakers.
