The Toronto Raptors are operating on a knife edge as the 2023 offseason starts to kick into high gear, as they could lose two of their starters in Gary Trent Jr. and Fred VanVleet. Both of them are likely to hit the open market, with VanVleet having declined his player option and Trent likely to follow.
The Raptors need to retain some parts of last season’s team, as they lack the funds needed to make such an astronomical overhaul of the roster. Still, Toronto will have to swallow some very difficult pills if they truly want to bring their starting backcourt back to town.
