5. Toronto Raptors

The Raptors may suddenly have a need a point guard, potentially paving the way for Jrue Holiday to Canada.

Even equipped with a five-year max contract offer, reports have surfaced about All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry having zero interest in remaining with the organization.

Minnesota, following a draft night trade for Jimmy Butler, has become a potential destination for Lowry, which would potentially open up cap space for Toronto to bring in Holiday.

With a roster assembled to win now, Holiday could become the best fill in for Lowry, as he provides a similar skill-set.

With Lowry serving as one of the marquee free agents this summer, the future of Holiday has to wait until he is locked into a contract for next season. If Lowry wants to play for another organization, Holiday is an ideal consolation prize.
