What did the Raptors pay when they got Leonard in the trade?

On July 20 18, the Spurs and Raptors, two strong playoff teams in the East-West Division of the NBA, successfully reached a star swap deal between the two teams. Now, although Leonard is no longer on the Raptors' roster, he left the Raptors an NBA championship trophy to help the team win the strongest glory in the NBA for the first time. Although Demar DeRozan is still in the Spurs, the Spurs have completely lost the strength of the western strong teams. So it is not difficult to see that the Raptors are undoubtedly the real winners in this annual heavyweight star trade.

In fact, in the player transaction between the Raptors and the Spurs, the Raptors not only sent off their star player Demar demar derozan, but also got other bargaining chips, including the first round show of the NBA in 20 16 season. In the NBA draft of 16, the Raptors selected Porter, who is 2 meters tall, in the ninth overall pick in the first round, and in the second season of joining the Raptors, Porter also became an important substitute rotation player of the team. In the NBA regular season of 17- 18, Porter came off the bench for 82 regular season games, averaging 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game and shooting 65.9%.

Therefore, in Leonard's player transaction, Porter, who is still a rookie player contract in the NBA, also became a high-quality chip in the hands of the Raptors, and was finally sent to the Spurs by the Raptors together with Demar demar derozan. In addition, the Raptors management also gave an NBA first draft, which was the Raptors' first draft in 19. Embarrassed, however, the Raptors' winning percentage in the 18- 19 season was excellent, so the first draft was quite backward, and the first round was only 29th.

The Spurs passed the final draft in the first round of the NBA and won rookie Kelden Johnson at 19. In this season's NBA regular season, Kelden Johnson only made nine appearances, averaging 4.6 points 1.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists in regular games and shooting 5 1.6%. Obviously, although the Raptors gave two players and a first-round draft pick, so far, only Demar DeRozan, Porter and Kelden Johnson have really played a role in the Spurs. Now they can only be regarded as role players with certain potential, and they are far from reaching the ability level of NBA starting level!
