The Toronto Raptors are in the market for a big name ahead of the 2026 NBA trade deadline. It's a seemingly reasonable takeaway following a recent report that Toronto has been exploring the market and reaching out to teams about virtually every high-profile player to have surfaced on the rumor mill.
Though the Raptors are wise to engage in exploratory talks for any player they're even remotely intrigued by, it's fair to question if they're too fixated on name value.
Toronto has cleared the midway point of the 2025-26 regular season sitting comfortably above .500 at 25-17.
