Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

For the Raptors, this deal starts with Reid. 

They could really use a player like him. Reid is a combo big man who protects the rim and spaces the floor. As constructed, the Raptors don’t have a player like him. 

They do have plenty of guys like Kyle Anderson. The Raptors are stacked with large, playmaking wings. At the same time, if they want to double down on their philosophy, adding another one won’t hurt. 

Still, the distant pick swap may actually be the most important part of this deal for Toronto. All things considered, this is a lot of value for a player who will probably walk in free agency this summer anyway.
