With the NBA offseason in full swing and the Toronto Raptors locking up DeMar DeRozan on a 5 year, $139 million extension, the attention shifts to improving the team’s glaring hole at the power forward position.

Also, acquiring Millsap would be just as wishful as the Raptor trying to acquire Kevin Durant.
This brings us to ESPN’s Zach Lowe’s report that Toronto asked Philadelphia about trading for F-C Nerlens Noel for a rotation player, most likely Terrence Ross…
The Raptors reportedly contacted the Sixers about a potential Nerlens Noel deal.
