The madness is revving up as the trade deadline is a mere 24 hours away.

As we’ve passed the spectacle of All-Star weekend, the break between games finally gives teams the chance to talk seriously about potential deals and we’ve even had a chance to see some of those deals go down.

One of those teams that have been active ahead of the deadline have been the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors have been linked to a number of potential trade candidates and long-term needs make them an ideal trade partner.  However, they’ve kept their cards close to the vest (which is no different to a lot of teams) in how serious they are about making a deal this trade season.

While the team doesn’t have the greatest flexibility with their players, they do have a nice stockpile of assets that could entice other teams into making a move that gives the Raptors a much-needed boost.

So without further ado, let’s took a look at how some of the players that have been linked to the Raptors fit and see how serious a possible move would be.
