Making the Case: Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors have been making big moves for years now. Kyle Lowry was sent to the Miami Heat while Fred VanVleet signed a big contract. These are the types of moves that can keep the team near the top of the conference.
If Anthony Davis is available in a deal, the Raptors could create an intriguing frontcourt. Siakam is extremely skilled and would complement Davis well.
Scottie Barnes made an impact during his first year as Rookie of the Year and is looking like a promising player for the future. He would be able to use his versatility at the small forward position if Davis and Siakam played on the block.
The Eastern Conference is full of oversized power players who can take over games like Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo. It is important for contending teams to have a rim protector to help combat that, which is what ideally Anthony Davis could accomplish.
