The Toronto Raptors were active ahead of the NBA's trade deadline, making two separate deals. Guard Ochai Agbaji and Canadian centre Kelly Olynyk were sent to Toronto from the Utah Jazz for guard Kira Lewis Jr., forward Otto Porter Jr., and a 2024 first-round pick. Guard Dennis Schroder and forward Thad Young were then traded by the Raptors to the Brooklyn Nets for guard Spencer Dinwiddie. Toronto then waived Dinwiddie in a corresponding move.

The Raptors held three first-round picks in this summer's draft. ESPN reports that the lowest of them will be sent to the Jazz as part of the deal for Olynyk and Agbaji.
Olynyk, born in Toronto but raised in Kamloops, B.C., was the captain of Canada's bronze-medal winning team at the FIBA World Cup this past fall.
He is part of its core of players that have committed to playing at the Paris Olympics in July.
