Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

Meanwhile, this deal has the Raptors heading in the opposite direction. While the Magic are putting an end to their rebuild, the Raptors would be just starting theirs. 

That may be a wise decision. This team has been underwhelming in 2022-23. Adding a young guard like Cole Anthony to grow with Scottie Barnes would be a sensible decision. 

That holds especially true with VanVleet due to hit free agency. It feels likely that the Raptors won’t be the team to retain him this summer. They might as well get some value for him in that event. 

This is good value. Obviously Anthony is the main draw, but even Hampton has some potential at 22. This trade may hurt the Raptors in the short-term, but it’s good for their future.
