After another disappointing season without a playoff appearance, the Toronto Raptors are poised for significant changes. With rumors swirling around a potential trade for two-time NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant, the Raptors' ambitions are clear. However, insiders indicate that Durant may prefer joining teams like the San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, or Houston Rockets, making a Raptors deal challenging.

In a potential backup plan, the Raptors are reportedly eyeing Malik Monk, currently with the Sacramento Kings, as a viable alternative if the Durant trade falls through. Monk showcased impressive performance, including a career-high average of 17.2 points per game last season, and his scoring ability could bolster Toronto’s roster effectively.
