Raptors pursue De'Aaron Fox in three-team trade involving Kyrie Irving
Summary

The Toronto Raptors are reportedly pursuing a major trade aimed at reshaping their roster for the 2026-27 season. A proposed three-team deal would send De'Aaron Fox to the Raptors from the San Antonio Spurs, while the Dallas Mavericks would receive several players from Toronto, including Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett. This comes after the Raptors' first playoff appearance since 2022, signaling a desire to strengthen their roster following a first-round exit. The successful execution of this trade hinges on the availability of Kyrie Irving, who remains a key piece for the Mavericks, while the Raptors aim to bolster their frontcourt with both Fox and Klay Thompson. The addition of Fox is seen as a potential boost for the team's scoring and playmaking abilities.
