Raptors' trade exception likely to expire

Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of the trade that sent Rudy Gay to the Sacramento Kings and changed things in a dramatic way for the Toronto Raptors.

It's also the expiration date of the $4.58 million trade exception Toronto created as part of that blockbuster, which ranked as the league's sixth-largest available trade exception when the Raptors awoke Tuesday morning.

The Raps, according to league sources, weren't planning to swing any 11th-hour deals as of Tuesday night, meaning that the exception was likely to expire quietly.

At right, then, is the most up-to-date list of what will rank as the league's biggest active trade exceptions come Wednesday morning.
