All eyes are on the Toronto Raptors as the 2026 NBA trade deadline nears. Having sustained a postseason level of play throughout the first half of the 2025-26 regular season, many are wondering if Toronto will move to improve its rotation in hopes of a deep postseason run. If that ultimately proves to be the case, then speculation exists that RJ Barrett will be the player the Raptors move-a possibility that could bring franchise great DeMar DeRozan back to Toronto.
DeRozan now sits at 25,740 points, which means he is only one spot below Stephen Curry who sits at 25,919 points. DeRozan is one of 6 active NBA players who is in the top 25 in all time scoring along with LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden. DeRozan scored the majority of his career points with the Toronto Raptors, as Raptors fans watched night after night him sink countless mid-range jumpers over his 9 seasons with the team.
