Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

The Raptors do this deal because they’re landing the best player in it. 

Yes, Anunoby is an elite defensive wing. The game is still, ultimately, about a bucket. LaVine gets them like few players in the NBA do. 

Toronto could use an elite isolation scorer. Pascal Siakam is capable of getting baskets in the halfcourt, but he’s not as crafty of a scorer as LaVine. Anyway, having two players who command a double team has never hurt a team’s chances of success. 

It shouldn’t hurt Scottie Barnes, either. The sophomore is a remarkable defender and playmaker with unique physical gifts, but he’s had some trouble scoring in the halfcourt this season.
