The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers received Anunoby and Siakam, respectively, in exchange for young players and assets that Toronto can utilize to build around Scottie Barnes. With a clear path to contention, the Raptors can assess their young talent over the next few seasons and make necessary moves. Although the 2024 NBA Draft lacks top talent, it has depth in almost every position. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Toronto is reportedly keeping an eye on Bronny James, an intriguing prospect ahead of the draft.
After experiencing a cardiac arrest last summer, Bronny James has made a comeback and is now starting for USC. The Raptors’ interest in scouting Bronny is intriguing, as it may indicate their attempt to pursue LeBron James, who has expressed his desire to play alongside his son. Although LeBron has not hinted at leaving the Los Angeles Lakers to join his son’s team, Toronto appears to be taking steps to become a desirable destination for him.
