Gary Trent Jr. is now trade-eligible after picking up his player option. He will also become extension-eligible this summer after the moratorium ends.
I thought he’d opt out, but maybe the market wasn’t going to match his current rate.

More on this storyline
Josh Lewenberg. With Trent’s money on the books for next season, it becomes tougher to bring back Fred VanVleet and Jakob Poeltl at market rate while also avoiding the luxury tax. Not impossible but will require some cap gymnastics or making changes/unloading salary elsewhere. -via Twitter @JLew1050 / June 20, 2023
Chris Haynes: Gary Trent Jr. wants to remain with the Toronto Raptors and both sides will work on a longer term deal. -via Twitter @ChrisBHaynes / June 20, 2023
There indeed remains the possibility that VanVleet will rejoin the Raptors after declining his player option to reach unrestricted free agency. Early indications are that any team hoping to land VanVleet’s services is going to have to surpass three years, $90 million. While Trent Jr. still considers what to do with his own player option, the Raptors guard is expected to command at least $20 million in average annual value, sources said. -via Yahoo!
