Toronto Raptors Receive: F/C Daniel Gafford, F Deni Avdija, 2026 First-Round Pick (WAS), 2028 First-Round Pick (WAS) 

Washington Wizards Receive: F OG Anunoby

The odds of another franchise accepting a package like the one the Raptors sent the San Antonio Spurs for Leonard in exchange for a superstar are low.
