The Toronto Raptors could sell high on RJ Barrett this summer, but is it worth the talent downgrade?

If the Toronto Raptors don't intend to keep RJ Barrett around long-term, this summer could be the ideal time to trade him at the peak of his value. In Episode 1878, Sean Woodley goes solo to outline the cases for and against the Raptors moving on from the local fan favourite this summer. Off the top, Sean gets into the case in favour of finding a taker for Barrett this summer when he might be at the absolute peak of his value as a trade asset, coming off a productive season and with a couple years left to go on his deal. That, plus the concerns about his fit within the new-look Raptors post-Brandon Ingram all point towards him being a potential trade piece this offseason. Next, Sean outlines the case against trading Barrett, why keeping Barrett on the roster is probably the best way to optimize the team's overall talent quotient going into next year, and why it seems a little premature to break up a version of the team we haven't even seen play together yet. Lastly, Sean takes a look at the Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks as a pair of potential trade partners in the event Barrett is on the market. Could a Barrett swap of Malik Monk and old pal Jonas Valanciunas be realistic? Could Dallas offer some more helpful depth in exchange for Barrett, who could certainly have a large offensive role next season with Kyrie Irving sidelined for most of the season?
