We’re a month away from the 2026 NBA trade deadline, folks. While there’s not much movement on the trade front so far, you can bet that plenty of rumors and big developments will start circulating as we get closer to the excitement surrounding February 5.

They made a bold move by trading for Brandon Ingram, a star in need of a change of scenery. So far in the 2025-26 season, that trade has shown to relatively pay off for the Raptors, even though there’s still plenty of room for improvement across the team.
