It may not be an ideal landing spot, but the Toronto Raptors should not be a team that should be ignored when it comes to the pursuit of any superstar. Plus, adding Donovan Mitchell could help the team thin out some of their depth to offer the team some more top-heavy talent.

For example, a trade of Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr., and OG Anunoby, along with draft picks, for Mitchell would still leave a big three of Mitchell, Scottie Barnes, and Pascal Siakam for Toronto to continue to build around.

Perhaps most importantly, the Raptors would essentially turn their really good depth into a clear superstar to help get them over the hump of the middle-of-the-pack in the Eastern Conference.

The Raptors probably aren’t a likely landing spot for Mitchell, but a team that could be a dark horse as this bidding war begins.
