Toronto Raptors
A lot of what the Toronto Raptors have planned this offseason obviously depends on if they keep Kyle Lowry long-term, but if they decide to let him go, then they will need to add another backcourt talent.
With the No. 4 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and a young guard in Malachi Flynn, the Raptors definitely have the opportunity to build a young backcourt, but if Masai Ujiri wants to keep this team a championship contender, bringing in Reggie Jackson would be a smart move.
Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam are the leaders of this team right now entering the offseason and bringing in more experienced, versatile talents could definitely make sense for them. You know what you are getting with a player like Jackson and he does bring playoff experience with him to the Raptors.
The Raptors really struggled during the 2020-21 season, but this is not because of lack of talent on their roster. Injuries and health protocols really limited what the Raptors could achieve this year, but heading into the 2021-22 season, they have a chance to bounce back and make it back to the playoffs.
This is a team that prior to this season, they made the playoffs seven straight times, winning a championship in 2019, and they had five consecutive seasons with 50+ wins. The Toronto Raptors are a franchise that have been known to be winners over the last few years and losing Kyle Lowry really should not change this.

Reggie Jackson proved that he could hold his own this year and with his ability to score at all three-levels on the offensive-end of the floor, he is the exact type of point guard that the Raptors would need should Kyle Lowry leave in free agency.
