[Amick] The Toronto Raptors are emerging as a legitimate landing spot for Domantas Sabonis, with RJ Barrett expected to go to Sacramento in a potential deal
Big man Domantas Sabonis is still worth monitoring in the weeks ahead. When Toronto rolled through town on Wednesday, it wasn’t all that hard to imagine him putting on a Raptors jersey sometime soon. While Washington, Phoenix and Chicago are known to have had some interest in Sabonis, league sources confirmed reports that Toronto is a legitimate possibility as we approach the deadline.
It’s worth noting that the Raptors’ RJ Barrett, who is owed \(27.7 million this season and \)29.6 million next season, was drafted No. 3 overall out of Duke by current Kings general manager Scott Perry in 2019, when Perry held the same position with the Knicks. The two old friends shared a warm hug and extended conversation before the game at Golden 1 Center.
