As trade reports surface daily and NBA players use their podcasts to slag the team the Raptors carry on as usual. But NBA trade vultures are circling.
— which players might be available in trades, how can opponents leverage a losing Toronto season to foment dissension among the players — the fact is no hard decisions have been made by management on which way they’ll go as the NBA Feb. 9 trade deadline approaches.
One high-ranking NBA executive said this week that a team might be able to make one truly bold move at the deadline but any kind of major remake is best done with a larger group of trade partners around the draft or free agency. Maybe McCollum is making a subtle move to convince the Pelicans front office to make a serious play for a specific Raptor — how would an O.G. Anunoby look on the New Orleans roster? — or maybe he’s extrapolating on feelings about the underachieving Raptors throughout the league.
The clarity is not going to come until after the deadline, or whenever Webster and Ujiri want to strike in the trade market.
