With the recent trade for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green, the Raptors have set themselves up with one of the most versatile and distinguished rosters we’ve seen in Toronto’s 23 years. In lieu of players with concrete positions, the Raptors have players who can swing from guard to forward to a stretch-four position. On defense, the Raptors have at least four players who can guard at least four positions in OG Anunoby, Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam and Danny Green.
Trading DeMar DeRozan for Kawhi Leonard, for the cost of Jakob Poeltl and a 2019 first-round pick in the 20s (or two second-round picks in 2020) was the ultimate embodiment of Masai Ujiri’s negotiating skills.
