Toronto Raptors: Trade Value Rankings on Deadline Day
By Ben Fisher
The clock is ticking on Masai Ujiri, Bobby Webster and the Toronto Raptors, as they face some potentially franchise-altering moves ahead of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.
With their recent nine-game losing skid dramatically moving the club towards a ‘sellers’ distinction, it feels like the right time to move away from which big man we might add for a playoff push and instead take stock of our own roster.
For the purpose of this exercise, I mean more than just Kyle Lowry and Norm Powell. While a mass fire sale is highly unlikely by Thursday at 3:00 pm ET, it’s worth examining the trade value of the entire Raptors roster, both in terms of trade value and their value within the organization. For the purposes of this list, I will go in reverse order, from least valuable to most.
