2. Toronto Raptors

Leading into the NBA Trade Deadline, the Toronto Raptors were one of the most talked about franchises in the league in regards to trades. The Raptors were reportedly after a power forward and depth up front, as they targeted many of the fours in the NBA.

However, the Raptors didn’t make the move that many expected them to and will now have to look to the buyout market for players that can fit their system. If the Raptors want to add another piece to their roster, Lee could be an intriguing option for them.

The Raptors are currently the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and have finally taken off as a force in the NBA. They’re expected by many to be one of the contenders to challenge the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference.

If they’re going to do that and have a chance at the NBA Finals, they need to bolster their roster and add more depth up front to the roster. Lee could provide invaluable knowledge to the roster that the Raptors don’t have and experience is something that could never be discounted.

If the Raptors want to get past the first round of the playoffs, they need players that have been there and done that.
