3 Raptors who must be traded to salvage 2022-23 season

The Toronto Raptors are struggling this season. They lost to the Orlando Magic twice. The team made the NBA playoffs last season and many expected them to continue their upward trajectory.

Fred VanVleet has struggled this season for the Toronto Raptors. He's shooting a ghastly 36.0% from the field and 32.5% outside the arc. His defense has also been suspect at times. It's time for Toronto to trade Fred Vanvleets.

Gary Trent Jr. has experienced a slump of sorts in the 2022-23 season for the Raptors. Last season, the ex-Blazers guard impressed fans with his active hands and hot shot-making from outside. This season his shooting has been exposed and he's been a statistical disappointment.

Scottie Barnes is the reigning Rookie of the Year for the Raptors. He has had a down year in his second season and is struggling to reach his potential. Barnes has been compared to Pascal Siakam. Masai Ujiri needs to trade him to salvage the 2022-23 season.
