The Toronto Raptors have had a relatively quiet offseason. They rebuilt the 10-15 portion of the roster by drafting four players, but otherwise didn't make any major trades or sign a new impact free agent. The most meaningful moves were locking up their young stars on lucrative long-term contracts.

That doesn't mean they are done, however. Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley may not be going anywhere, but the rest of the roster is still uncertain. RJ Barrett is probably playing himself into a locked-in role on the team, and the team doesn't want to trade its most recent draft picks, but no one is truly untouchable.

The Raptors' roster could still change

On the spectrum between Scottie Barnes (not going anywhere for a very long time) and Gary Trent Jr., already signed to a new deal in Milwaukee, there is a lot of room for differing levels of confidence on each player's future with the team.

It could be that the Raptors receive an offer that they can't refuse for one of their veteran players. It could also be that they look to dump a contract to open up space for another move. There are certainly some players on the team who are not crucial to their long-term future and would more easily be included in a deal.

Toronto's roster remains in flux, and for a few players, the chances that they do not play out the rest of the reason on the team is quite high. Let's look at three such players and discuss the scenario in which they would leave the team.
