"In recent weeks, new reports have emerged suggesting that Toronto is leaning toward a more patient approach as the trade deadline approaches. However, that doesn't guarantee the unpredictable nature of the NBA, where things can flip in an instant. If the Raptors genuinely believe they're in a position to compete now, a star trade of that caliber could be just what they need to get there - in their minds, at least."
"To some people, Morant still carries that reputation. However, Morant's game has always relied extremely heavily on athleticism. He is a career 31.0 percent three-point shooter. To score the ball, he has always needed to be fast enough to get into the paint and explosive enough to score over bigger defenders. That style of play was extremely fun to watch in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, but in 2026, Morant is a very different player."
Toronto has been linked to several stars — Anthony Davis, Domantas Sabonis, Giannis Antetokounmpo — with Ja Morant mentioned most often. Recent reports indicate Toronto is leaning toward a patient approach but game-changing trades remain possible. Ja Morant was a 23-year-old, two-time All-Star in 2023 who relied heavily on athleticism to attack the paint and finish over bigger defenders. Morant is a career 31.0 percent three-point shooter. Since his 2022 All-Star season he has not played more than 61 games in a season and has faced multiple injuries and suspensions, raising durability and availability concerns.
