The Toronto Raptors reportedly remain interested in Brandon Ingram while continuing to look for avenues to facilitate a Jimmy Butler trade with Miami

Toronto reportedly has interest in acquiring Brandon Ingram from the Pelicans or facilitating a Jimmy Butler trade.

While the franchise’s trade deadline may not be as exciting as in past years, there’s still a decent chance that one or more Raptors players will go on the move ahead of the February 6 trade deadline. A few players seem safe: recent first round-picks Scottie Barnes, Gradey Dick, and Ja’Kobe Walter all seem to be long-term pieces of the team’s core.
