Raptors Looking to Add Key Piece Next to Scottie Barnes

Toronto could be more than just a facilitator in a Jimmy Butler trade

The Toronto Raptors are interested in participating in a multi-team trade for Jimmy Butler, but they may also be looking to acquire a key player to pair with Scottie Barnes, according to Sportsnet.

Toronto has several veterans drawing league-wide interest: Bruce Brown and Chris Boucher are on expiring contracts, while Jakob Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk are targets for center-needy teams. The Raptors see Poeltl as part of their long-term rebuild, but Brown, Boucher, and Olynyk could be moved, with their recent strong play boosting their trade value.

“All those guys could be on the move,” said one league source. “The way they’ve played the last few weeks really helps.”
