The Toronto Raptors have struggled to gain their footing after entering a brief rebuild and changing over nearly their entire roster. Could the path forward actually mean bringing back a former player in a blockbuster trade?
Toronto has brought together a collection of players who are good on their own, better with the ball in their hands, and largely properly paid, if not slightly overpaid. They have a roster that fits together awkwardly and no obvious paths to everything settling into place outside of making a trade.
They aren't going to trade Scottie Barnes, and they just added Brandon Ingram and have yet to see him play a single game.
