Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Fred VanVleet 

Are the Toronto Raptors serious contenders this season? No. In fact, they severely underperformed in 2022-23. They didn’t even qualify for the postseason. 

Until recently, they were in the mix. These are the 2018-19 NBA champions. Life happens fast in the NBA. Things can change entirely over the course of one offseason. 

The Raptors may be in for such a summer. They’ve already fired Nick Nurse. Who can say what other changes Toronto will make this summer? 

There is another layer of context to consider, too. Will Fred VanVleet want to leave in free agency since he has the ability to do so?
