Raptors get a solid center to replace one of their many wings as well as a shooter - play maker (Lonnie) to replace GTJ. Additional shooting support from the bench in McDermott. Additionally getting solidly below the tax line.

Spurs get their 2 1st round picks for expiring salary solidifying their tank race!
