The Toronto Raptors are reportedly looking to trade up to land a prospect they coveted in the top six of this year's NBA draft
The Toronto Raptors apparently had their eyes on someone at or near the top of this year's NBA draft.
Toronto had a 45.8% chance to keep its top-six protected first-round pick this year but the draft lottery didn't go the organization's way. The Raptors fell to No. 8 in the draft lottery and were forced to convey the pick to the San Antonio Spurs as compensation for the Jakob Poeltl deal in 2023. "I think if they can find a way to trade to get that guy they would do it, but I think that's a lot — it's really really hard," Smith said.
