Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
Of course, of every team in this deal, the Raptors may have the most time. They’re not title contenders at all.
Meanwhile, there’s every reason to believe they may look to trade Anunoby. He was one of the hottest names during this year’s trade deadline. It’s been rumored that he’s dissatisfied with his role in Toronto.
With that in mind, a quality young player like Jones would be a good acquisition for them. Fred VanVleet may be walking in free agency. Meanwhile, Jones is a perfect fit alongside Scottie Barnes.
Of course, he’s not worth the cost of Anunoby. That’s why Toronto gets three first-round picks in this exchange as well.
