Toronto Raptors
1) Trade with the Warriors to receive Green and improve the overall defence, a ball handler and a dog on the court who will compete like no one else. Moody is 21 and will be a perfect role player from the bench. Payton II is more a salary filler even if he can be a decent role player. 2 FRP slightly protected will be helpful to fill some gaps in the upcoming years.
2) Trade with the Magic as GTJ will probably want to hit free agency and his role seems compromised in the Raptors with Barrett and Quickley coming in. Add a FRP that will be a mid to late FRP to immediately improve the team.
3) Trade with the Heat to have a real PG who can bring experience to the young core. Receive 2 picks and send role players on multiple years contracts to improve the financial viability of the project.
Potential Starting Lineup:
Lowry, Quickley, Barrett, Barnes & Green
Backup Five:
Payton II, Moody, Harris, Young & Poeltl
Rest Of Bench:
McDaniels, Dick, Temple & Koloko
