Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors have skyrocketed past the rosiest of projections this season. They won the NBA championship last season, lost Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green and have virtually the same record a year later. As a result, they won’t be making any moves that impact their competitiveness, but Stanley Johnson is a rotational afterthought and has a player option next season worth $3.8 million. He might be a reclamation project elsewhere for a team with less lofty goals.

Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz are probably not eager to make any deals even though they’re in the midst of a rough stretch. Ed Davis might be a moveable piece if they decide to make a move at the trade deadline, but they will want to be careful not to harm their frontcourt depth in the process.

Washington Wizards

The most likely player the Washington Wizards may move is Davis Bertans. He’s had a tremendous season and will be sought after by teams needing a hot-shooting stretch four. The Wizards can’t trade Bradley Beal because he signed an extension this past summer, so they will need to find value where it presents itself at the trade deadline and Bertans fits that description.
