Gary Trent Jr. Finished in Toronto; Marquee Team Interested
While Gary Trent Jr. was hoping for a contract in the $25 million AAV range, the Toronto Raptors weren't interested in giving their free agent anything more than $15 million. Reports have indicated that Trent would be "lucky" to get the midlevel exception out on the free market right now (about $12.5 million).
The Raptors have moved on, and Trent is free to find a new taker.

And one team that seems to be very interested is the Los Angeles Lakers. They are definitely looking to improve their outside shooting, and Trent shot 43.1% on catch-and-shoot threes this past season. Overall, Trent averaged 13.7 points while shooting 39.3% from long range.

According to Evan Sidery, Trent is now looking at potentially taking a one-year deal in order to rebuild his market value for 2025.
