We now know exactly what Raptors would trade for Mavericks' Anthony Davis image

The Toronto Raptors could use a presence on the interior.

Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis certainly counts as a presence on the interior.

And AD could be on the trade block as the NBA season goes forward. The Mavs may look to move off of Davis about a year after trading for him and instead build around phenom Cooper Flagg.

If Dallas decides to trade Davis, the Raptors are expected to be in the mix.

And thanks to TSN's Josh Lewenberg, we now know what the Raptors might offer.

Lewenberg reports that the Raptors would offer one of RJ Barrett, Jakob Poeltl or Immanuel Quickley, along with a draft pick or two.

He also adds that it's a deal that "probably won't" happen, so it might be best for Raptors fans not to get their hopes up too much.

Toronto would be a totally changed team with Davis.

Much of this season has been spent without their expected starting center, Poeltl, due to various injuries. And even when the big fella has played, he's been less effective than the rest of his career.

It means the Raptors have been left playing with a small-ball center for huge portions of games.

They've been floated as a possible trade landing spot for a lesser center, like Nick Richards or Brook Lopez.

But if they could get AD? That'd be a total game-changer.

A number of Eastern Conference teams have been floated as Davis destinations, so it's a trade rumor mill worth watching. One squad might get AD and dramatically increase its title chances while hurting those of a handful of other teams in the East.
