49. Danny Green

The biggest trade in Raptors history was Kawhi Leonard for DeMar DeRozan, but it can’t be dismissed how important the add-on of Danny Green was in Toronto.

Green was in his ninth NBA season, and he would start all 80 Games for Toronto at Shooting Guard.  Providing many clutch shots from the three-point arc, Green had a career-high .455 3P% which was good enough for second in the NBA. Green was also very good defensively, and his presence in the locker room was also positive.

Like Leonard, he left via free agency for Los Angeles, though in his case, it was the Lakers.  Green’s contributions in Toronto, although it was brief, will not be forgotten by Raptors fans.
