Raptors evaluate trade options as deadline nears

As the NBA trade deadline approaches, the Toronto Raptors are in a wait-and-see mode after two major trades over the weekend. They are exploring options but have not made any moves yet. The Raptors are considering trading Jakob Poeltl, who has drawn interest from the Los Angeles Lakers. However, they are looking for a significant return, including a first-round pick, which the Lakers may struggle to provide. Additionally, the Raptors are monitoring the situation of New Orleans Pelicans' Brandon Ingram. They have the resources to pursue a trade but have not finalized any discussions. Other players like Chris Boucher are also attracting interest from multiple teams.
