Toronto Raptors acquire Olynyk, Dinwiddie in trade deal: reports

The Toronto Raptors have been active ahead of the NBA trade deadline, making two separate deals.

Guard Ochai Agbaji and Canadian center Kelly Olynyk were sent to Toronto from the Utah Jazz for guard Kyra Lewis Jr., junior forward Otto Porter and a 2024 first-round pick.

The first-round pick sent to the Jazz would be the worst of the Raptors' current 2024 first-round picks.

Lewis is averaging 2.8 points, 1.1 assists and 0.9 rebounds in 16 games this season.

THE DINWIDDIE – SCHRODER DEAL

Schroeder averaged 13.7 points, 6.1 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game, shooting 44.2% from two and 35% from three in 51 games for the Raptors.
