Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

Look. We know this is unlikely. The Raptors are not likely looking to move Barnes. Still, this deal would have to tempt them. 

After all, it’s sending them a lot of high-quality assets. The Jazz’s 2024 pick is especially intriguing. Sure, they’re winning games now, but don’t be surprised if they pivot into a rebuild. 

For that matter, the Sixers are aging too. Their 2025 selection could end up in the lottery. This is a massive package of assets. 

Moreover, the Raptors don’t need Barnes from a win-now perspective. They already have Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby. They could, for example, take this package, and flip it for a star big man down the line.
