Orlando Magic Receive: F Doug McDermott, G Josh Richardson, G Lonnie Walker IV, 2022 First-Round Pick (No. 9 – SAS), 2024 First-Round Pick (SAS)
Toronto Raptors Receive: C Mo Bamba, F Jonathan Isaac, 2026 First-Round Pick (Top 10 Protected – SAS)
San Antonio Spurs Receive: F Pascal Siakam
Of all the deals listed here, this one is probably the highest risk, highest reward proportion for the Toronto Raptors.
They get their big man in Bamba. Unlike Ayton, he’s a capable floor-spacer. Most of the risk involved comes by way of Jonathan Isaac.
When healthy, Isaac has proven himself to be a potential perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate. The issue is that he’s seldom healthy. Still, if he can get his body right, he’s another big, playmaking wing that the Raptors can add to their stable.
Meanwhile, the Magic cut ties with the forward after years of disappointment. Mo Bamba appears destined to depart as a Restricted Free Agent anyway, so they’re getting two first-round picks for a goner and the oft-injured Isaac here.

The Raptors are probably unwilling to cut ties with Siakam. Likewise, the Spurs are probably unwilling to surrender the draft capital they’d need to in order to land him. Still, if either side has a change of heart, they should at least give the other side a call.
