Toronto Raptors Receive: F Danilo Gallinari, C Onyeka Onkongwu, G/F Jalen Johnson, 2023 First-Round Pick (ATL)
Atlanta Hawks Receive: F/C Pascal Siakam

The main attraction for the Toronto Raptors here is Onyeka Onkongwu. If they view themselves as rebuilding around Scottie Barnes, he’d make for the perfect offseason addition.

After all, he’s already challenging Capela for his starting gig at 21. He looks like a perfect modern defensive big, capable of protecting the paint at a high level and surviving switches when need be.

Furthermore, Jalen Johnson is a sneakily good addition to this team. He fits the archetype of a big, playmaking wing that the Raptors clearly covet. He didn’t get much opportunity to showcase his abilities as a rookie in Atlanta, but he’d likely find a bigger role following this deal.

It feels unlikely that the Raptors will explore this route. They’ll probably make some marginal additions to the team this summer in a bid to advance further in the playoffs next year.
