#3 Toronto Raptors

It is no secret that the Toronto Raptors are in a winning mode and are in the best position to win the Eastern Conference this season. Trading away their star DeMar DeRozan for Kawhi Leonard has done wonders for them, lifting them to another level and we can imagine Masai Ujiri doing something similar once again to try and make them even better in the short window they have.

The Toronto Raptors have the right blend of veteran stars and young upcoming talent to entice the New Orleans Pelicans to go into a semi-rebuild, not a total one, allowing them to stay competitive and draw crowds while rebuilding on the side with a bunch of young, talented players who are hungry to prove themselves.
