1. Goran Dragic

This one is a virtual certainty. After playing a whopping five games with the team, Dragic has been on an indefinite leave of absence. While Dragic offers plenty of value given his experience in the postseason and pedigree as a scorer, Toronto may need to part with some draft capital.

Dragic may need to have a first-round pick attached to him in any potential trade, as teams might be understandably spooked by the idea of adding a 35-year-old point guard with five games to his name this year. If Toronto gets someone to bite, they can totally revamp the bench.

The Toronto Raptors have to find a way to trade Goran Dragic.

Contending teams might be willing to part with two of their lesser reserves in order to acquire Dragic. In fact, the Toronto Star is reporting that Dragic is generating tons of buzz. While he hasn’t given Toronto a ton of value, he should get plenty of teams chasing after him thanks to his history as a quality bench scorer in Miami.

The Dragic situation was a mess from the start, as neither of these parties wanted to be linked to each other when the season started. Getting Dragic out of the team will finally get his albatross of a contract away from the Toronto books while recouping enough bench players to help with the playoff run.
