Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Fred VanVleet, F/C Chris Boucher
Toronto Raptors Receive: F/C Anthony Davis

Here, the Toronto Raptors trade their other star-caliber veteran for Anthony Davis. This time, no draft capital is involved.

After all, VanVleet’s price tag on the open market is likely to be lower than Siakam’s. He’s a gifted player, but he’s also an undersized guard who struggles on the defensive end.

That shouldn’t be a major concern for the Los Angeles Lakers. They need to make changes however they can find them. With this deal, they instantly replace Westbrook with one of the best floor-spacing point guards in the NBA.

VanVleet should be a perfect complement to LeBron James. The Lakers will hope to move Westbrook, or just buy him out after acquiring him.

Meanwhile, the Raptors could deem VanVleet expendable. They can get the bulk of his playmaking from Siakam and Barnes, and they get his floor-spacing from Gary Trent Jr. If they decided that Davis’ inside presence and rim protection was worth more to them, it would be justifiable.

On the other hand, if the Raptors don’t want to part with either, they could enlist a third team in their effort to land Davis.
