Raptors Trade RJ Barrett for Kawhi | Toronto Raptors News

The Raptors just made waves by bringing Kawhi Leonard back to Toronto in a blockbuster deal sending Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two first-round picks, a pick swap, and two second-rounders. With Scottie Barnes now alongside Kawhi, the duo forms an unstoppable force. But to truly contend, they must act fast — and that means trading RJ Barrett. Despite his playoff surge and hefty contract, Barrett’s presence can disrupt the flow around Kawhi and Barnes. Trading him could land them a backup center, shooter, or even Malik Monk and Dylan Cardwell, opening doors for young talent like Ja’Kobe Walter. With Kawhi at 35, the Raptors need to be aggressive and build a roster built for his game — starting with Barrett’s exit.
