The Toronto Raptors will be vying for a playoff spot in a wide-open Eastern Conference this coming NBA season. With this in mind, expect them to be aggressive in the trade market as buyers. Especially with R.J. Barrett as a potential trade candidate. The Raptors were involved in discussions surrounding players such as Kevin Durant, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White earlier this year. It should also be noted that the team acquired Brandon Ingram at last season’s NBA Trade Deadline, signaling their willingness to make bold moves to improve the roster.
Toronto recently parted ways with long-time general manager Masai Ujiri, elevating Bobby Webster to the main decision-maker role in the front office. In a recent report by Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report, Fischer highlighted the Raptors’ high aspirations to become a legitimate playoff contender in the coming year.
