Dallas Mavericks Receive: Kyle Lowry, Matt Thomas

Toronto Raptors Receive: Jalen Brunson, James Johnson, Dwight Powell, 2021 2nd Round Pick

Kyle Lowry is one of the best Raptors in franchise history. He has done a lot for the organization over time but it could be coming to an end. Lowry would be a great fit in the backcourt with Luka Doncic. This would allow one player to be off the ball and contribute in other ways.

The Raptors would get back a return that begins with Dwight Powell and Jalen Brunson. These are rotation-ready players that can contribute right away to a team looking to get back to the top of the Eastern Conference.

James Johnson and a second-round pick would also be sent to the Raptors in this deal in order to make it work financially. He is on a substantial expiring contract, which would help Toronto to mitigate potential long-term salary commitment.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this trade centered around Kyle Lowry would benefit both the Dallas Mavericks and Toronto Raptors.
