The Toronto Raptors did not make any moves at this year’s trade deadline which may have been the smartest possible decision for them. It is questionable that any of the available PFs were upgrades over the duo of Luis Scola and Patrick Patterson, and messing with the chemistry of a group that is currently sitting in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference could have been disastrous. However, at the end of this season, whenever it does end, it seems very likely that the Raptors will need to make a move to improve. A trade of some sort will likely be the type of move, which is due to the number of committed roster spots the team currently has and their likely need to make improvements of some sort.
