NBA Trade Rumors: Raptors 'Open for Business' Outside of Barnes, Barrett, Quickley

The Toronto Raptors are reportedly expected to remain active in trade talks ahead of next month's deadline.

Josh Lewenberg of TSN reported the Raptors are "open for business" after trading OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam over the last month. Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett are seen as the only three players on the roster Masai Ujiri would not consider moving.

Toronto has several veteran players with manageable contracts who could help contenders down the stretch. Gary Trent, Jakob Poeltl, Bruce Brown, Chris Boucher and Dennis Schroder could all see their name in rumors over the next couple of weeks.

Trent and Brown are the likeliest candidates to be moved given their contract situations. Trent is a free agent at the end of this season and Brown's contract carries a team option for 2024-25, essentially making him an expiring as well. Schroder has a guaranteed $13 million salary for next season, and Poeltl is under contract through 2026-27.

After years of treading water in the aftermath of Kawhi Leonard's departure for Los Angeles in 2019, the Raptors are finally embarking on a much-needed rebuild. They acquired three first-round picks from the Pacers in the Siakam trade and landed two promising young players in Barrett and Quickley for Anunoby.

The price won't be as high for the remaining players on the roster, but if they can get a couple of seconds or a highly protected first-round pick for a role player, Ujiri likely won't hesitate to pull the trigger.
