One by one, the pieces fall into place in the NBA. Disgruntled veterans and players with expiring contracts begin to agree to buyouts with their parent teams in the hopes of landing with a playoff contender down the stretch. It's the buyout market as we know and love it. It'll never change. For the Toronto Raptors, the market has been especially quiet.
They've missed out on guys like Markieff Morris, Marvin Williams, and Reggie Jackson, only to watch them sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, and LA Clippers respectively. Any of those three guys would surely help the Raptors down the stretch, but each chose a different path.
