Raptors Trade Rumors: Goran Dragic, Draft Picks Being Shopped; Wing, Big Man Eyed

The Toronto Raptors are reportedly shopping guard Gordan Dragic ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Brian Windhorst of ESPN reported the Raptors are looking to bolster their rotation with a wing or big man, using Dragic's expiring contract as bait.

The veteran guard has been away from the Raptors since November while dealing with a personal issue. There has been no indication of whether he will play again this season.

The Raptors have moved themselves into sixth place in the Eastern Conference but have one of the NBA's thinnest rotations. Each of their starters are averaging at least 34.8 minutes per game, and the team regularly limits its rotation to eight players going for meaningful minutes.

Dragic, 35, spent the previous six-and-a-half seasons with the Miami Heat but was came to Toronto as part of a sign-and-trade package that sent Kyle Lowry to Miami. 

Any team willing to acquire Dragic would likely be doing so with the idea of getting out from under a long-term contract and/or acquiring a draft pick.
