The Toronto Raptors are actively positioning themselves to facilitate a trade involving Jimmy Butler, as confirmed by sources speaking to Marc Stein of The Stein Line.
While the Golden State Warriors are reportedly still evaluating the possibility of acquiring Butler, the Raptors could play a key role by taking on Andrew Wiggins’ contract and sending Bruce Brown to the Miami Heat as part of the deal.
The Heat, who have previously expressed interest in Brown, may see this as an opportunity to enhance their roster with a versatile player who fits their style of play.
Additionally, the Raptors are not just focusing on facilitating deals for other teams but are also making aggressive moves to elevate their standing.
They continue to pursue a trade for Brandon Ingram, seeking to add a “significant piece” alongside rising star Scottie Barnes, signaling their ambition to contend more seriously in the competitive Eastern Conference.
