The Toronto Raptors have "emerged as a team to watch" regarding New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram as the Feb. 6 trade deadline looms. NBA

The Raptors are struggling this season, but they could still make a big move to get Brandon Ingram at the trade deadline.

The Feb. 6 trade deadline is fast approaching. It’s been widely speculated that the Toronto Raptors will be sellers, but they could always pivot and make an aggressive push for a star.

While the franchise’s trade deadline may not be as exciting as in past years, there’s still a decent chance that one or more Raptors players will go on the move ahead of the February 6 trade deadline. A few players seem safe: recent first round-picks Scottie Barnes, Gradey Dick, and Ja’Kobe Walter all seem to be long-term pieces of the team’s core.

The Raptors are expected primarily to be sellers between now and the Feb. 6 trade deadline. However, they're also reportedly interested in acquiring a former All-Star.

The NBA trade deadline is fast approaching, and the New Orleans Pelicans are among those expected to be active during this time. New Orleans sits at 12-35 on the year, with their playoff hopes all but gone.
