With a logjam at the wing position, the Toronto Raptors looked to address the issue. The addition of Rudy Gay to the roster has definitely pushed for other moves to be made.

Toronto receives:
G Eric Maynor
2013 1st round pick (Thunder)

Oklahoma City receives:
G/F Mickael Pietrus
2014 2nd round pick (Raptors)

This move adds some much needed depth at the point guard position. Eric Maynor is a young and energetic player who has the court presence of a veteran leader. He will be able to make up a portion of leadership that was lost with the departure of Jose Calderon.

In addition,

Toronto receives:
2014 2nd round pick (Rockets)

Houston receives:
F Linas Kleiza

This move allows for a bit more cap flexibility for the upcoming offseason.

Lastly,

Toronto receives:
2014 2nd round pick (Cavaliers)

Cleveland receives:
C Hamed Haddadi
2014 2nd round pick (Raptors)

This move further pushes for extra cap flexibility in exchange for seldom-used C Hamed Haddadi.

The current roster for the Toronto Raptors is as follows:
