NBA Trade Rumors starts to swirl around the Toronto Raptor as of late. The reason behind these rumors is because of their eagerness to fill in the hole in the power forward position. And it seems that they are targeting Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Greg Monroe.
The Raptors are one of the teams who is considered to be a big revelation to the league. They had a wonderful year last season after finishing second in the Eastern Conference behind eventual champions Cleveland Cavaliers. And in order to duplicate what they have done the past season they have to find a player to take over the PF spot.
According to Sportsrageous, the weakness in the power forward spot was evident with the Raptors during their first meeting against the Cavs this season which resulted in a loss. Good thing it is still early and they can resolve this by acquiring either Bucks Greg Monroe, 76ers Nerlens Noel or Grizzlies Zach Randolph.
The three players mentioned is on the wish list of the Raptors to occupy the slot left by Bismack Biyombo who joined the Orlando Magic this offseason. Monroe, Noel, and Randolph are regulars in the rumors mills after their teams reportedly placed them on the trading block. And the Raptors have the luxury to select anyone from those players to add to their fold.
But it is most likely that Monroe will be chosen among the three as Noel is coming off a knee surgery and is not cleared to play for three to five weeks while the Raptors is considering Randolph's age as he is already 35 and might be able to adapt to coach Dwayne Casey system.
As per The Inquisitr, adding a big man is a top priority for the Raptors and it could happen anytime soon. It is said that though the NBA trade deadline for this season will be in February 2017, the Raptors might not wait for the said date and will make a move to get any of those three players.
Nevertheless, this rumor is still speculation and no one on the teams involved confirmed this deal.
Who will the Toronto Raptors choose to add on their roster, Greg Monroe, Nerlens Noel or Zach Randolph?
