"The Toronto Raptors are running out of time to make a final decision about whether or not RJ Barrett fits their plans for the 2025-26 season. The trade deadline is less than two weeks away and Barrett is as polarizing as ever before. In the event that the Raptors opt to part ways with the talented swingman, there's an obvious potential trade partner they should consider: The Sacramento Kings."
"Sacramento is in the midst of a turbulent season that's revealed expected flaws in the front office's design. While Toronto has disproven those who insisted their unorthodox strategy would fail, the Kings haven't been quite as fortunate at 12-33. As such, change could be afoot. According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Raptors are looking to capitalize on the changes the Kings could undergo by trading for All-NBA big man Domantas Sabonis."
The Toronto Raptors face a looming decision on RJ Barrett's fit for the 2025-26 season with the trade deadline under two weeks away. Barrett remains a polarizing swingman and is owed $27.7 million this season and $29.6 million next season. The Sacramento Kings emerge as a logical trade partner because Barrett was drafted No. 3 overall by current Kings general manager Scott Perry in 2019. Sacramento's 12-33 record, aging starting lineup and front-office shortcomings create pressure for change. Toronto is pursuing All-NBA big man Domantas Sabonis as a potential target to capitalize on Sacramento's reinvention.
