Patterson would provide a solid presence in the paint for Toronto. Vasquez also carries with him a modest cap hit of $2.5 million. The Raptors rank dead last in the NBA in assists per game at 17.3. The 26-year-old native of Caracas, Venezuela has put up 5.8 assists per contest so far with Sacramento. In Vasquez, Toronto would be getting a six-foot-six guard who is averaging 9.8 points with an ability to find open teammates - something the Raptors desperately need. Gray contributed 1.3 ppg and 2 rpg off the bench, while 23-year-old Acy saw action in seven games for Toronto this year. Toronto (6-12) has struggled to find its groove this year, losers of five straight despite being just 1.5 games out of first place in the weak Atlantic Division. The move would be another major shakeup as GM Masai Ujiri continues to reshape a roster and team that hasn't qualified for the post-season since 2008 - which is tied with the Washington Wizards for the longest active streak in the NBA. Gay, a six-foot-eight, 230-pound forward, averaged just 2.2 assists per game for the Raptors this year and has struggled with his jump shot to the tune of a career-low 39 per cent from the field. The eight-year veteran was acquired by former general manager Bryan Colangelo in a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies last season.

"We were using him in a drag situation, a pick-and-roll situation because he could see over the defence, and he was growing into that role and he was doing a better job. He's an athletic, dynamic wing player, he gets to the basket at will and can shoot the ball and handle the ball," Casey said. Raptors coach Dwane Casey couldn't reference the deal specifically before the game, as nothing is official, but had nothing but good things to say about Gay.
