The Toronto Raptors entered the 2016 NBA Draft with clear expectations to market their lottery pick for a more established player. Their first target was Paul Millsap of the Atlanta Hawks the day before the draft (which I covered earlier), and Oklahoma City Thunder forward, Serge Ibaka on draft day. Atlanta didn’t bite, and the Thunder was asking too much for Ibaka and opted to send him to the Orlando Magic instead.
While Ibaka might be out of play, the door might be still be open for Millsap to become a Raptor, provided of course that the Raptors are creative.
