Toronto Raptors: Case for/against including 2021 pick in trade talks

The Toronto Raptors don’t need to make a move this trade deadline. Their roster is relatively complete, it’s a seller’s market, and they don’t have many assets to spend. The most common asset for a team looking to make a move at the deadline, their upcoming first-round pick, has already been sent to the San Antonio Spurs as part of the Kawhi Leonard trade.

Yet, there are still a few areas where Toronto can upgrade, and although they don’t have their 2019 first-round pick, the Raptors can deal other future assets.

Due to the Stepien rule, the Raptors cannot trade their 2020 first-round pick.
