There’s more on this in the next note but it’s not unfathomable that Dennis Schröder’s career in Toronto night not last a year.If Gary Trent Jr. thrives — and if he continues his three-point shooting from his last five games (17-for-40, 42.5 per cent) — how marketable might that make him nearer the trade deadline? “There’s some interest in Gary,” an Eastern Conference exec said when Trent was scuffling badly, before adding “at least there’s some interest in the theory of Gary.” But if Trent’s making shots for a month, there’s sure to be interest near the Feb. 8 trade deadline.

More on this storyline
Maybe the most common question asked around the league is: What do the Toronto Raptors do? Toronto has three consequential players — Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr. — on expiring deals and is treading around .500 for the second consecutive season. The Knicks made a play for Anunoby last winter, league sources said, but Toronto never engaged in serious discussions to trade away the two-way stud. Anunoby made his first-ever NBA All-Defense team in 2022-23 and should be headed for another in 2023-24 if he keeps up this level of play. -via The Athletic / December 9, 2023
