"According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, the Raptors have already pursued Anthony Davis, Domantas Sabonis, and Trae Young, and could reach out about Ja Morant. "The Raptors are the only other known team beyond Washington to express any meaningful interest in Trae Young before he was dealt to the Wizards, have pursued both Dallas' Anthony Davis and Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis ... and I've also been advised to keep an eye on them when it comes to Memphis' Ja Morant.""
"Though the Raptors are wise to engage in exploratory talks for any player they're even remotely intrigued by, it's fair to question if they're too fixated on name value. Toronto has cleared the midway point of the 2025-26 regular season sitting comfortably above .500 at 25-17. Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram are making strong cases for All-Star recognition in leading roles, but the Raptors appear set on creating something of a big three."
The Toronto Raptors have explored the market for a high-profile addition ahead of the 2026 NBA trade deadline, contacting teams about several star players. The team sits 25-17 at the midway point of the 2025-26 season. Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram are emerging as All-Star-caliber leaders, yet the organization appears intent on assembling a big three. Pursued targets include Anthony Davis, Domantas Sabonis and Trae Young, with possible interest in Ja Morant. Concerns include injury histories for Davis and Morant and whether prioritizing star-name value is necessary given Toronto's depth and core talent.
