Why the Raptors should take advantage of a seller's market at NBA trade deadlineWith a 25-30 record and virtually no shot at making any noise in the playoffs, the Raptors should make the most of the seller's market ahead of the NBA trade deadline. No, the next 5 games could have them at .500 which is currently 8th place in the east. But if Masai is convinced that Freddie an GTJ aren't going to resign for a reasonable amount then trade it must be. Moving OG or pascal would be a mistake at this time, maybe next year.
