Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal

In simple terms, the Raptors do this deal because Dyson Daniels perfectly complements their philosophy. 

Daniels is 6’8 with bonafide point guard instincts. If the Raptors intend on continuing to pursue this team-building plan, he feels like their missing piece. 

Meanwhile, they could use Hayes as well. At the moment, the Raptors don’t roster a player with his rim protection abilities. It’s safe to assume that he’d quickly find a place in this team’s rotation. 

More broadly, this deal is about getting younger for Toronto. VanVleet is about to be a free agent, and it feels like the team is heading in another direction.
