Unfortunately, if this trade went down, Thompson wouldn’t have the opportunity to play in front of the fans in Toronto this season with the Raptors in Tampa. However, his contract runs through next season, so it could still happen.

With just over a week until the NBA’s March 25th trade deadline, we’re sure that there will be much more action in the rumour mill as we get closer. Buckle in!
