The Toronto Raptors are expected to be among multiple teams who will trade their veteran players ahead of the February trade deadline this season
The Toronto Raptors are no strangers to the NBA’s trade rumor mill, and this season is shaping up to be no different. While the level of drama may not quite reach the fever pitch of recent years—when Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, and Fred VanVleet were consistently the subject of speculative trade packages—Toronto is still expected to be a player in the midseason trade frenzy., the Raptors are one of five teams already primed to consider offloading veterans at February’s trade deadline.
Brown, in particular, has been a lingering trade chip for Toronto. The Raptors explored moving him at last year’s deadline, but their asking price—a first-round pick—was too much potential suitors. Now on an expiring $23 million deal, Brown’s combination of defensive versatility and former championship pedigree makes him a logical trade candidate for player contenders.
Then there’s Jakob Poeltl, Toronto's most intriguing veteran. The 29-year-old center has been a steady presence for the Raptors, providing rim protection, rebounding, and offensive playmaking abilities from the post. If Toronto does decide to move Poeltl, it would signal a full-scale embrace of tanking and put the Raptors in prime position to lose plenty of games down the stretch run of the season.
