With the Toronto Raptors getting a taste of playoff action for the first time in a few years this season, it’s only natural to wonder what the next step is and how they progress toward that next step.
‘Can you make a bigger step with one of those deals?’ We’re always going to be opportunistic in any trade market, it’s why we kept all of our first-round picks to have that. I think financially we’re all well-positioned in the future to take on money if we have to.” stated Bobby when asked about the possibility of an all-in trade including significant picks.
The Toronto Raptors were in numerous trade rumors during this season, and they were attached to plenty of star players such as Domantas Sabonis and Anthony Davis. They wound up not pulling the trigger on any of these trades, and they kept all their assets while doing so. As Webster stated, they do have all of their first-round picks, as well as a few player assets that could feasibly go in a deal as well.
Every season in the NBA there is a new star that becomes available, and Toronto is usually in the mix when these situations happen. They also have some expiring deals coming up, which are perfect to send out in potential star trade scenarios. Webster didn’t fully commit to saying that Toronto is looking to trade for a star in an “all-in” type of move, but he did leave the door open for Toronto to potentially pursue one.
