Report: Raptors deal Johnson to Kings

The Toronto Raptors have traded a player, just not the one everyone was expecting,

Marc Stein of ESPN.com reports that the Raptors have dealt forward James Johnson to the Sacramento Kings for a future second-round pick.

The deal may be announced as early as Monday.

The Raptors are also said to be shopping point guard Jose Calderon after having acqired a new starting point guard in Kyle Lowry.

Johnson averaged 9.1 points and 4.7 rebounds per game last season but fell into coach Dwane Casey’s doghouse after a strong start to the season and saw a decrease in his minutes.

He will earn $2.8 million next season, the final year of his contract.
