Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

It will not happen immediately. There is no doubt that every team has its own timeline. The Toronto Raptors are not a title contender at this point in time.

There is a need for this team to reevaluate their situation this summer in order to build the right foundation. There is a good way to accomplish this by flipping OG Anunoby for three first-round picks. 

On the other hand, Hield also has an immediate value for this team as well. This season, the Raptors had a difficult time spacing the floor.

As a matter of fact, Gradey Dick was already drafted in this summer as a way to address this issue. The addition of Hield means that they are bringing in two elite shooters in one offseason.

Meanwhile, Hield’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and the Raptors could really benefit from the cap relief. In spite of this, the main attraction here is the draft capital that is available. 

Should the Indiana Pacers give up so much for Anunoby?
