Toronto Raptors
NBA Trade Deadline priority: Scour the market for a difference-maker
The Toronto Raptors have been a pleasant surprise this season; they’re above .500 and look like a team that could potentially make life difficult for a contender in the first round of the playoffs. They have talent on the roster but should scour the trade market for a difference-maker.
Toronto has a bright future with Scottie Barnes but the team is also in a win-now mode with Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam still on the roster.
It remains to be seen which player(s) the Raptors could target at the deadline but if there’s a viable difference-maker that hits the block, the team should absolutely jump at the opportunity.
