Forget all of the Chris Bosh trade rumors because he isn’t going anywhere. Especially with the Celtics starting to fade back in the standings. The most likely player to be moved by the Raptors will be SG/SF Antoine Wright. Wright has played in 38 games (2 starts) for the Raptors this season and he is averaging 17.3 minutes, 5.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. The reason it might be hard to move Wright is that he has not shot well from anywhere on the floor this season. He has hit 40.3% of his shots from the floor, 36.4% from the three point line and 64.5% from the free throw line this year. A contending team like the Grizzlies could use a player like Wright as their bench is pretty weak.

After helping the Orlando Magic make it to the NBA Finals last season, the Toronto Raptors signed the free-agent Hedo Turkoglu in the off-season in hopes that he could help take their team to the next level.  Well, Turkoglu has not looked very comfortable with the Raptors this season and his numbers are all down this year.  After averaging 19.5 points in 2007-’08 and 16.8 points last season with the Magic, Turkoglu is down to 12.5 points this season and is shooting only 40% from the field.  He is also averaging 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists while shooting 39% from three, so he is not having a horrible season for the Raptors.  Its just that they expected more from Turkoglu this year after signing him to a 5-year $50 million contract.  The Raptors have hovered around .500 this season and they will likely not make it out of the first round of the playoffs unless Turkoglu really steps it up and helps out Chris Bosh more with some of the scoring.

The Raptors will probably start cutting Marco Belinelli’s playing time if he doesn’t start shooting better. He has played in 34 games (0 starts) for the Raptors this season and he is averaging 19.2 minutes, 7.8 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Belinelli is only shooting 38.3% from the floor this season. Belinelli is soft so he needs to be making shots to be on the floor.

Antoine Wright would fit right in with his old team (Nets) with the way he has played this season for the Raptors. Wright has played in 20 games (1 start) for the Raptors this season and he is averaging 17.4 minutes, 4.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He is shooting an amazingly awful 32.4% from the floor and it is going to start earning him a lot more time on the bench unless he starts to turn things around soon.

The Raptors were planning on giving Bargnani more minutes than he got last season but he hasn’t earned them yet. He has played in 29 games so far this season and he is averaging 23.6 minutes, 9.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. He has been a tad off on his shot this season as he’s only shooting 39.5% from the floor and 40.7% from the free throw line so far. He will need to improve on his shooting if the Raptors are to play up to their ability as a team.
