"The Toronto Raptors could trade for Ja Morant. If they want, the Raptors are able to put together a pretty compelling package including Immanuel Quickley, Ochai Abaji, and perhaps a draft pick that would work financially. It would also get the Raptors a star (depending on who you ask) at point guard, and let the Grizzlies part with Morant without fully entering a tank, which seems like the route they prefer."
"It would also be a pretty wild move from the Raps, who are rounding into form as a contender in the Eastern Conference. Is this the perfect time to make a move that could propel them to even greater heights, or time to see how this team looks in the postseason before making any drastic changes? I'm actually asking, because I don't know the answer to that."
The Raptors can assemble a financially viable package centered on Immanuel Quickley, Ochai Abaji and potentially a draft pick to acquire Ja Morant. Acquiring Morant would deliver a high-ceiling point guard and allow the Grizzlies to move him without fully committing to a rebuild. The Raptors have improved after adding Brandon Ingram and currently project as Eastern Conference contenders in an open conference. Trading Quickley is popular with fans, but his contributions to the team have been meaningful. Morant still offers higher upside than any current Raptors guard, creating a difficult risk-reward decision for the franchise.
