Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

The Raptors could get more draft capital for Siakam elsewhere. Meanwhile, the Hawks don’t have more to spare. 

After all, they sent a large portion of their picks away in exchange for Murray. If Toronto insists on receiving more picks, they’ll decline this package. 

At the same time, is draft capital the be-all, end-all? This deal lands the Raptors plenty of young players with proven NBA potential. Even without a surplus of picks, it gets their rebuild off on the right foot. 

Onkongwu may be the highlight of this package. He’s flashed tremendous potential over his tenure with the Hawks. He’s also been buried behind Clint Capela.
