OKC Thunder trade primer: Role players in Toronto looking for new home
T.I’s OKC Thunder trade primer heads north to check out the Toronto Raptors. The NBA’s third best team is looking to move two role players that could help OKC make a run.
The Toronto Raptors are having a fantastic season, holding down the second spot in the Eastern Conference in spite of being hit hard by injuries. Franchise stars Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry missed significant time, and yet the Raptors have continued to foster a winning attitude thanks to their sheer depth across the board marching to a 39-16 record.
But that hasn’t stopped General Manager Masai Ujiri from trying to improve the team.
In the most recent trade rumors, Lowry was rumored to be involved in a trade that would send him and Jonas Valenciunas to Memphis in exchange for Marc Gasol and Mike Conley.

Lowry has since responded stating its just business. Given how the DeMar DeRozan trade went down, its hardly surprising the All-Star is keeping one eye open just in case he is moved.
Lets take a look at who Toronto have that should interest OKC.
