Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal

Following this trade, the Toronto Raptors would find themselves in an interesting position. Most would agree that it’s an enviable one.

This team would be plush with young talent following the addition of the 25-year-old Mitchell. He and reigning Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes would make for the backbone of one of the best rebuilds in the NBA.

Only, the Raptors wouldn’t be rebuilding. They’d still roster Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet. Between those four, the Raptors could be real title contenders in 2022-23.

For a team with the young talent they have, that’s exceedingly rare. Many observers would argue that you can’t split the difference: you should either be all-in on the present or looking to the future.
