The Toronto Raptors had been keeping a very sharp eye on their neighbors in Massachusetts, as the Boston Celtics looked ready to make some big moves this offseason after the Danny Ainge ouster, and a Kemba Walker trade was clearly high on the priority list after last season.
Walker remains one of the better offensive point guards in the East, but he struggled with health and consistency last year, and his two-year stint in Boston felt underwhelming to some due to the fact his production was inferior to that of the departed Kyrie Irving.
