The Toronto Raptors have officially used their much-coveted flexibility to swing a multi-play deal with the Sacramento Kings
It had become a bit of a buzzword around Toronto. Patience, flexibility, and optionality were all ways of saying the organization wanted to wait for the right time to make a move. Since the moment Toronto inked the Pascal Siakam deal, the Raptors began preaching the value of flexibility.
For Toronto, it was essentially a no-cost opportunity to take a look at two potentially intriguing players and add some draft capital too. Mitchell was the No. 9 pick in the 2021 NBA draft and has always been a very good point guard who has just struggled to find his footing as an inconsistent offensive player. Vezenkov is a former EuroLeague MVP who came over to the NBA last season and continued to show he's a high-level shooter who needs to find ways to round out his game.
As for the 2025 second-round pick, Portland isn't expected to be very good next season and there's a good chance that pick ends up being somewhere in the 30s. It's not going to be some incredibly valuable pick, but as a pot sweetener to a deal it's good enough.
