Toronto Raptors Receive: F Kyle Anderson, F Taureen Prince, F/C Naz Reid, 2028 First-Round PIck (Swap – MIN)
Minnesota Timberwolves Receive: G Fred VanVleet
Of course, VanVleet isn’t the only Raptor we could see on the move this season. This team is widely regarded as having the potential to host a firesale leading up to this year’s deadline.
Why wouldn’t they? At 22-27, the Raptors have been underwhelming this season. With no real shot at title contention. their best move might be to start over.
With that being said, even being able to do so is a luxury. The Raptors own their own pick in the upcoming NBA draft, and they have a potential franchise player in Scottie Barnes. They can look to the future.
By contrast, the 25-25 Timberwolves gave up their first-round pick in the upcoming draft. This team needs to improve.
