Toronto Raptors Receive: C Nikola Vucevic, F Patrick Williams, 2023 First-Round Pick (POR)
Chicago Bulls Receive: F Pascal Siakam

With this trade, the Raptors maintain their philosophy of rebuilding while competing. This is both a win-now trade and a future-focused one for them.

On the one hand, they’re acquiring the starting big man they didn’t have in 2021-22. Nikola Vucevic had a down season last year, but he’s likely to continue forward as one of the league’s most reliable stretch bigs in 2022-23.

He’s always had defensive limitations, but the Raptors are perfectly built to offset them. This team has a platoon of quality defensive wings that can cover up for Vooch’s shortcomings on that end.

Still, the big prize for the Raptors here is Williams. He projects as a perfect fit alongside Barnes. Unlike Siakam, he thrives off the ball as a high-end floor spacer. He’d also have the potential to be the best defender on a team full of quality defensive wings.
