Toronto Raptors Trade Rumours: Who Do Fans Think is Most Likely To Go?
With trade rumours swirling, as they should be, Toronto Raptors fans are just as passionate about who should be traded from the Raptors as who should be acquired.

At over 800 votes, even an unscientific poll begins to reflect what an interested group of people really believes.
And the “winners” are: slightly less than half of Raptors fans believe Jose Calderon is the most likely to be traded and about one in six believe no one will.
What might be surprising is despite all of Toronto Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo’s efforts to dispel any notion of Chris Bosh being available, one in eight still believe Bosh could be traded at the deadline.
This trade deadline has created a lot of buzz for the NBA and the Raptors this year. Fans from many teams are anticipating trades in abundance.
And while usually trade deadline days may only have limited activity in the end, this year’s perfect storm of:
- Max free agents coming available;
- Financial pressure on teams;
- The expectation of a lower salary cap next season; and,
- The much anticipated tighter CBA in 2011,
Has created the possibility of one of the most active trade deadline periods ever.
Or will everyone involved get frozen into inactivity by the fear of an unknown future?
As the Toronto Raptors continue to pile up wins, the calls for Colangelo to do nothing at the trade deadline get louder. But it still looks like the hottest trade speculation for Raptors fans continues to be will the Toronto Raptors trade Jose Calderon?
