          Trade targets: All 30 teams

          Toronto Raptors

          Record: 35-16
          2nd place in East

          Status: Buyers

          Toronto went 8-2 in its last 10 games heading into the All-Star break and sits three games behind the Cleveland for the top spot in the East.

          While the Raptors look like the best challenger to the Cavaliers in the conference and could try to add some pieces for the playoffs, they also need to consider that Kyle Lowry is almost 30 and DeMar DeRozan could leave in free agency.

          ESPN's Zach Lowe has reported that the Lakers and other teams are prepared to offer DeRozan a max contract that starts at $25 million per season.

          So, what should Toronto do at the deadline?
