The Raptors are not having the season they set out to when the tournament began, as they desired to be a title-contending force but in reality sit\u00a0five games under .500, and five games back of the sixth seed. This is probably the reason why there have been rumors surrounding the team about dissatisfied players wanting to be traded out ever since the transfer window opened.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, Toronto\u2019s management haven\u2019t hold back either. The latest reports suggest that they\u2019ve\u00a0made every single player available to trade except for Scottie Barnes. TSN\u2019s Josh Lewenburg from Canada was the latest to assure the Raptors are open for negotiations.<\/p>\n \u201cTeams are coming to them, they\u2019re listening to offers, and with the exception of reigning Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes \u2013 who remains off limits in trade discussions \u2013 everything is on the table, according to sources.\u201d<\/p>\n Barnes is only 21 years old, but he is already one of the most complete players in the NBA, averaging 15.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.0 steal and 0.9 blocks per game on 46.0% shooting from the field. The sophomore is highly regarded for his versatility, proving he is able to defend as much as he can attack.<\/p>\n Most importantly, the city loves him. All fans agree he should be the last to be sold, just as his squad enjoy him as a teammate on court or in the locker room. In other words, the player is just in his second year for the Raptors but has the profile to become a franchise cornerstone who could potentially play for Toronto for the following 10 years.<\/p>\n He\u2019s even getting praised by other coaches and players beyond the Canadian border. The latest was four-time NBA Champion Draymond Green from the Golden State Warriors, who believes Barnes\u2019 potential overshadows his own talents.<\/p>\n Draymond Green offers high praise for Scottie Barnes pic.twitter.com\/ltQL6noB4t<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Yahoo Sports Canada (@YahooCASports) January 28, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While Barnes is the only player that Toronto consider to be \u201coff limits\u201d, we\u2019ve heard endless trade rumors surrounding Gary Trent Jr. and OG Anunoby, which would make them the most likely candidates to leave before February 9th.<\/p>\n This past week, OG Anunoby reportedly \u201cwants out of Toronto\u201d<\/a> as soon as possible, just as Gary Trent Jr. started the year with a desire to leave, but now Raptors are said to want to re-sign him considering the player is now \u201chappy\u2019 again<\/a> at the club. One thing for sure is, if these transfers\u00a0actually do happen, young Barnes would have to assume a larger offensive role.<\/p>\n The internal situation in the Toronto camp is best explained in the following video:<\/p>\n\n
