The Toronto Raptors had enough cap space to make one more noteworthy move following the departure of Fred VanVleet and addition of Dennis Schroder, and they did so when they convinced Jalen McDaniels to join the club on a two-year deal worth slightly over $9 million.
McDaniels made his name as a wing with the Charlotte Hornets, but Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers acquired him in a swap at the trade deadline that saw Philly part ways with multiple draft picks and another defensive specialist with more pedigree in Matisse Thybulle.
