The Raptors currently sit second in the Eastern Conference standings, but they have a hole they want to fill at power forward.
THE RUMOUR: The Raptors, ranked second in the Eastern Conference, are interested in acquiring a number of power forwards around the league.
REPORTED BY: ESPN's Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst
THE DETAILS: Toronto currently sits just three games behind the Cavaliers in the East, but the injury to DeMarre Carroll and the lack of development from Patrick Patterson has left a hole at the power forward position.
The Raptors are interested in Thaddeus Young (Nets), Ryan Anderson (Pelicans), Kenneth Faried (Nuggets) and Markieff Morris and P.J. Tucker (Suns).

Numerous teams have taken particular interest in Young and Anderson, who are still All-Star quality talents in the right situation. Faried's production has declined in recent seasons, but he would be a solid rebounder and scorer for Toronto.
Morris is a headache the Raptors don't need and Tucker is too inconsistent. Those two seem like long-shots.
