I'm leaning towards a trade, but that's just me. Raptors fans have complete faith in BC to make the right moves, and even though I haven't been happy with a number of his deals/draft picks so far, the team has steadily improved since he came on board, so he deserves the benefit of the doubt. They need a slashing/scoring wing and a big man who can rebound and at least alter shots. There weren't any players available this year who fit that description, at least from the outside looking in. Next year they'll have better financial flexibility to make deals, and hopefully a better record to entice players to want to play for them.
