The Raptors could pursue a major offseason trade for players such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyrie Irving, or Donovan Mitchell, but the most likely path is keeping the current core. The expected approach involves moving Gradey Dick, using the 19th pick, retaining Sandro Mamukelashvili, and potentially extending Jamal Shead and RJ Barrett. Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead, and Collin Murray-Boyles would become more important if the roster stays largely intact. Walter is viewed as the best fit to address the team’s lack of 3-point shooting, with a target of shooting over 40% on high volume across a full season. Murray-Boyles and Shead are described as physical, disruptive defenders who create winning plays, while Shead’s offense lags with 36.7% field-goal shooting and 32.1% from three.
""I think the most likely outcome is that they move Gradey Dick, they use 19, they retain Sandro, maybe you extend Shead, maybe you extend Barrett, and you really move into the new season with this team at the end of the day," Vecenie said."
