Toronto Raptors
The big man market is going to be small in free agency, as many teams in the league already have their frontcourt locked up moving forward, but the Toronto Raptors are a team that has been searching for stability at the center position ever since they won their first title in 2019.
Since Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka left, the Raptors have had a hole in their frontcourt that they have tried to cover up with Precious Achiuwa, Chris Boucher and Khem Birch this season. They have even thrown Pascal Siakam at the center position at times and have gone small to try and mask some of their problems on the interior.
Someone like Mitchell Robinson could be very appealing to the Raptors, especially since their current big men are not true double-double threats like that of Pascal Siakam. Chris Boucher is in the final year of his contract and the Raptors does appear to be willing to deal Khem Birch in the offseason if possible.
In Toronto, Mitchell Robinson could continue being a high-level rebounder, as well as an avid rim-protector, helping one of the best defensive teams in the NBA even more.

Cap space could become a problem though for the Raptors, as they are committed to close to $120M in salaries entering next season, as Siakam, VanVleet, Anunoby and Trent Jr. are set to make a combined $91.1M next season.
