Here's what the Raptors can dangle in a Kevin Durant trade
Executing a trade in the NBA comes down to matching the respective salaries closely enough. The mark most teams are looking to hit is to ensure the pre-trade salary they may be inheriting doesn’t exceed 125 percent of the traded player, plus $100,000.
Not only are Siakam and VanVleet Toronto’s two best players, they’re also Toronto’s two most expensive contracts. This is a front office that’s shown itself to be ruthless in its pursuit of a championship when it traded DeMar DeRozan in the Kawhi Leonard trade. With Durant, the Raptors would be getting four seasons of control – a much larger value proposition.
