The Raptors need depth

Last season, the Toronto Raptors were the single worst team in regards to bench scoring. Had they had any extra firepower in the second unit, they might have made some noise in the postseason.

Between OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes, I don’t think Bojan would crack the starting five. That’s okay since Toronto would want him with the second unit anyway.

It’s also worth noting that Toronto was 20th in threes attempted last year, 19th in threes made, and 21st in percentage, so Bogdanovic’s services would very much be needed.

This is the first trade I have ever proposed that results in the Jazz losing a pick. By 2025, the Wolves should still be quite good, so this pick will be in the back half of the first round. In return, the Jazz get a 23-year-old who averaged 18.3 points last year as the starting wing for Toronto.

The Raptors open a real championship window with this trade and have the extra draft capital to round out their roster. The Jazz get a talented young player to round out their starting lineup and provide some firepower. If Clarkson also gets traded, Trent won’t have to compete much for the shooting guard spot, which means he can keep improving at a rapid rate. The only question is: will one pick be enough?
