Jake Fischer says Raptors remain frontrunner to trade for All-Star big man
"We are still hearing that the Toronto Raptors remain a likely - if not the most likely - suitor for the Kings' All-Star big man if he is going to be traded between now and Thursday's trade deadline. That sounds legit. It's also the perfect trade for these Raptors to make at this point in time. The Raptors would have to sacrifice a lot to add him, but he's a real difference-maker."
"Sabonis has two years left on his contract after 2025-26, so he's no rental for any team that acquires him. And that's fine for the Raptors, who clearly foresee themselves competing for years to come. But it also means that the return package going back to Sacramento would hurt. A trade of Sabonis for Immanuel Quickley, Ochai Agbaji, and Gradey Dick does work financially, for the record."
The Toronto Raptors remain a likely suitor for Sacramento Kings All-Star big man Domantas Sabonis if he is traded before the deadline. Sabonis is a three-time All-Star with two years left on his contract after 2025-26, so any acquiring team would not be getting a rental. Adding Sabonis would raise Toronto's ceiling by providing a major offensive difference-maker and help a team with a No.20-ranked offense. The Kings would demand a premium return that could include Immanuel Quickley, Ochai Agbaji, Gradey Dick and potentially a draft pick. The Raptors appear willing to trade young talent and a pick if they believe Sabonis makes them true contenders.
