The Toronto Raptors have mapped out their strategy for the season. Not only that, they have already made some crucial moves in this NBA trade window already. They are not done with the transfer market yet and are still looking for suitors for some of their players. It is hard to speculate which members of the squad can be deemed untouchable. There are rumors flowing in every single day linking the Raptors to multiple teams around the league.
The Raptors sent OG Anunoby to the New York Knicks in exchange for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. Then they shipped Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers for decent return value as well. They are one of the most active sellers at the moment. They stepped into the market with a plan, and it seems that they have managed to nail it. Well, what’s next for them? Who are they going to trade? Where will those players go? What do the Raptors expect? Here is all the information you need about the Toronto Raptors and their future plans.
How are the Toronto Raptors doing this season?
The Toronto Raptors are ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference this season. They have a 17-30 record, which doesn’t look that great at all. The mediocrity might be one of the reasons why the Raptors chose to part ways with their stars. They have lost more games at home than they have won this season, which is not a great sign for the franchise.
The Philadelphia 76ers remain interested in Bruce Brown, and are believed to be floating the names of Tobias Harris and Kelly Oubre in trade talks with the Toronto Raptors.
