The Toronto Raptors shocked the NBA when they selected Scottie Barnes over Jalen Suggs, but what if two years later they ended up with BOTH players? Heading into the 2021 NBA draft all signs were pointing towards the Raptors using their 4th overall pick to select the Gonzaga point guard. The Raptors were coming off of a terrible season in Tampa Bay where they had the 7th worst record in the NBA but by luck of the lottery, ended up in the 4th slot where they instead elected to use their pick on the Florida State forward. This pick was met with mixed reaction, but the majority of fans went into the draft wanting Suggs.
It has become evident two years later that Masai Ujiri’s front office clearly made the right choice with this pick and now it appears the Orlando Magic, who were elated to have the chance to take Suggs at 5, may want to move on from the player and the Raptors, who are in serious need of point guard talent, could step in. A recent article brought the possible trade to my attention and it is time to break it down on Amateur Hour Sports. What would it take to make the trade happen and should the Raptors pull the trigger and put Scottie Barnes and Jalen Suggs together in their lineup this season?

Would you make this trade?
I'll take Jett Howard instead of Suggs.
