The Raptors have begun their draft preparation as the NBA's pre-draft camp kicks off on Monday in Florida, according to The Toronto Star.

"For me, it's a chance to initiate or follow up on some trade discussions as well," Toronto's President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo said Monday. "It's like a basketball convention."

Toronto has a lot to do, with an inevitable trade involving one of their point guards - T.J. Ford and Jose Calderon.

"Your basketball staff can mingle with the staffs of other teams and perhaps get some information on what teams might be thinking," Coangelo said. "It seems everyone is picking everyone else's brains."
