Sacramento Kings Land OG Anunoby
Toronto Raptors Receive: C Richaun Holmes, G Davion Mitchell, 2026 First-Round Pick (SAC), 2028 First-Round Pick (SAC)
Sacramento Kings Receive: F OG Anunoby
In fact, some would suggest that the Toronto Raptors have underperformed this season. By contrast, the 16-12 Sacramento Kings have exceeded expectations.

Anunoby feels like the perfect player to help them do so. He’s a Defensive Player of the Year candidate this season, and an elite floor spacer to boot. He’d be a major upgrade in this team’s rotation.
As for the Raptors, they could actually use a rim-protecting big man like Holmes in the present. Still, this deal is about the future for them.
