Sources suggesting the Raptors were and would be again interested in finding a way to make a deal for Antetokounmpo work are credible, and consistent with the buzz I’ve heard here at the NBA Finals. And the same is true for Durant, who the Raptors were linked to — again, credibly — prior to the 2022-23 season. According to league sources, the Raptors were monitoring Durant’s availability leading up to the trade deadline this past February so it’s not surprising that the Raptors have been referenced as a team that might be willing to take a one-year “gamble” on Durant, who is under contract for 54.7 million for the upcoming season at age 37.
