Raptors trade Bruce Brown to Detroit for Simone Fontecchio, Wendell Moore Jr. and 2025 Raptors second round pick.
Raptors trade Davion Mitchell to Orlando for Gary Harris, Boston’s 2025 second and Orlando’s 2026 second
Toronto trades Gradey Dick, Brown, Kelly Olynyk and Mitchell to Chicago for Zach LaVine, Talen Horton-Tucker and Julian Philips
Toronto trades Poeltl, Mitchell, Jamison Battle to Golden State for Jonathan Kuminga, Kevon Looney, Gary Payton II, Gui Santos, 2028 Golden State first (Top 3 protected)
Houston might make more sense for Poeltl (with Mitchell also going for Cam Whitmore, Brooklyn’s 2027 first and Steven Adams and Jeff Green to make the money work).
Yes to trade 1 with DET. The Raps SRP will be close to a late FRP. Gives us another shot to pick a good prospect in a good draft or can possibly use that along with the POR pick to move into the first round.
Probably yes to trade 4 with GSW even though I think the FRP would have better protections. The main prize would be a lightly protected FRP in a post-Curry era. I liked Kuminga during the draft but his feel for the game hasn't improved a lot. I don't see the FO paying him big money which puts us into the tax unless maybe RJ is re-routed, or we find a 3rd team that takes Kuminga while giving us back assets.
GSW probably goes after Vuc and Ayo from CHI instead. A lesser deal might involve Olynyk.
