It seems like the Raptors are in an interesting spot heading into the trade deadline. Given their position in the standings and the expiring contracts of players like Bruce Brown and Chris Boucher, it makes sense they’d be looking to offload some veterans to get younger assets or draft picks. Bruce Brown in particular stands out since his versatility could make him a valuable piece for contenders, and he could be a part of a larger deal involving bigger names like Jimmy Butler.
The Raptors’ situation also feels like a signal that they might be preparing for a reset, especially if they’re not expecting to contend anytime soon. Moving on from role players like Brown, Boucher, and Olynyk could give them the chance to build for the future, especially if they can get something of value in return.
Do you think the Raptors should fully embrace a rebuild and move on from their veterans? Or do you think they should try to make a splash and get back in contention sooner rather than later?
