Gradey Dick Open to Trade as Raptors Mull Cap-Saving Move

Toronto is weighing a cap-saving trade option tied to his guaranteed $7.1 million.

Overview

  • Reports Tuesday attributed to Sportsnet’s Michael Grange, echoed by multiple outlets, said Gradey Dick is amenable to a trade this offseason.
  • No deal is in place, but Toronto is evaluating options after the 22-year-old lost rotation minutes and saw his three-point shooting drop to about 30 percent.
  • Dick is entering the final guaranteed year of his rookie contract at $7.13 million for 2026–27, and he becomes eligible for an extension in July if the team keeps him.
  • Coach Darko Rajakovic said Dick must steady his shooting and defend better, adding he expects the guard-forward to put in the work after a season of limited minutes.
  • Cap-focused analyses floated the Nets and Grizzlies as possible fits due to room and minutes, with a move potentially freeing cash for Toronto’s priorities and clearing a path for emerging wings.
