Domantas Sabonis and Anthony Davis are two of the most likely stars to be moved before the NBA Trade Deadline this season. The Toronto Raptors, looking to bolster their roster, have expressed interest in both big men. With Jakob Poeltl dealing with ongoing back issues, the Raptors are actively monitoring the trade market for a center who can immediately contribute. However, should they pursue Davis, it’s likely that another team or two would need to be involved to facilitate the deal, as the Dallas Mavericks are unlikely to take on long-term contracts in any potential trade with Toronto.
As for Domantas Sabonis, the Sacramento Kings are reportedly looking to move some of their older stars, with Sabonis being one of the key names on the block. However, Sabonis has also been sidelined by a back injury and is expected to return around the All-Star Break. Both trade scenarios come with their own set of risks for the Raptors. A team who has developed a young, promising foundation with a bright future. Still, one could argue that adding either of these stars might be the missing piece to transform Toronto into legitimate title contenders.
