I don't think there's a great trade match there. They've got a couple really good young players (Haliburton, Fox) who they're likely reluctant to move, plus Marcus Bagley who was highly-touted and underachieved thus far, and Hield, who is okay but already on his post-rookie contract and possibly overpaid already. They've also got Davion Mitchell this year in the draft, but he's low upside IMO.

If you use the GSW rumour as a benchmark (Wiseman, Moody, Kuminga, Wiggins), It would probably take a package like Haliburton, Bagley, Harrison Barnes (for salary-filler), and a FRP to match that sort of value.

If they aren't willing to include Haliburton or Fox, they'd probably need to offer an all-in draft-pick package, like 2022/2024/2026 first-rounders plus pick-swaps in 2023/2025.

IMO any smoke we're hearing now about trade rumours is the Raptors checking on values in case they decide mid-season that they need to do a full-on rebuild rather than a retooling.
