The Toronto Raptors are reportedly monitoring Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner as a potential acquisition should the Bucks undergo a roster overhaul.
According to Sportsnet's Michael Grange, league sources indicate Toronto's interest is contingent on a hypothetical Giannis Antetokounmpo trade that would trigger a Bucks fire sale.

Raptors' Frontcourt Plans
The Raptors have long sought a franchise center, having previously pursued Domantas Sabonis.
Turner, who stands 6-foot-11, averaged 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 71 games for Milwaukee last season.
Financially, Toronto could include center Jakob Poeltl in a trade package to match Turner's salary.
