What team did Danny Green get traded to in the 2018 off season?

The story behind the answer

Danny Green was traded to the Toronto Raptors in the 2018 offseason.

The San Antonio Spurs sent Green and star forward Kawhi Leonard to Toronto on July 18, 2018. In return, San Antonio received DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a protected 2019 first-round draft pick.

The trade is often remembered mainly as the Kawhi Leonard deal, so Green can be overlooked as part of the transaction. He was already an accomplished three-point shooter and perimeter defender after eight seasons with the Spurs, where he won an NBA championship in 2014.

Green became an important starter for Toronto during the 2018–19 season. Alongside Leonard, he helped the Raptors win their first NBA championship in 2019. A common mix-up is confusing this move with Green’s later free-agent signing with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2019.
