They should sit out the trade deadline that comes Thursday at 3 p.m. and resist the urge to disrupt a successful team for short-term gain. The Raptors don’t have a 2018 first-round draft pick to sweeten any deal, and league rules preclude them trading their 2019 pick this week. Ujiri, Webster and coach Dwane Casey have built team of which others take notice. The team could use a veteran who can make a shot and win you a game or two in a playoff series. The Raptors are a very good team verging on great, one of the top four or five in NBA right now, and the present has never been so promising.
