Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
To start, it’s been suggested that Anunoby wants a bigger role. If he’s unhappy, that’s enough reason to move him.
After all, an unhappy player can nuke team chemistry. That’s something the Raptors have appeared to lack this season. On the other hand, that’s not the only thing they’ve lacked.
This team could use an injection of shot creation. Porter Jr. could provide it. In fact, one wonders if he might have more abilities than he’s been able to show alongside Jokic and Jamal Murray.
Moreover, his defensive warts should be minimized by sharing a frontcourt with Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes.

If that’s not enough for Toronto, a distant, unprotected first-round pick ought to seal the deal.
If nothing else, this deal will certainly get people talking.
