Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

Yes. Fred VanVleet is also having a bit of a down year. Granted, he’s turned it on lately. Still, at 25-30, it’s hardly made a difference to the Raptors. It’s time for this team to retool, if not rebuild. 

Flipping a point guard on an expiring contract for a first-round pick is a good start. The Sixers are also firmly in win-now mode, so a distantly conveying pick from them is a high-value trade chip. 

Meanwhile, the Raptors could actually use Spencer Dinwiddie, too. They will need a guard to create if VanVleet goes on the move.. As far as consolation prizes go, he’s a good one. 

The trade overall would be a clean way for the Raptors to get a guard on VanVleet’s way out without allowing the situation to play into the summer.

Managing to gain a first-round pick in exchange for VanVleet would be a good return, given the circumstances. Landing Dinwiddie makes it all the better.

Should the Nets give him up?
