But given the sudden depletion of the roster, you'd think some playing time would be on the table.

I guess those teams were guaranteed finalists whereas we're in an absolute dogfight9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

Ugh...
Matthews and Ellington are the kind of players who would perfectly fit the Raptors system. Not good news.
Hopefully the ones left and available would prefer the Raptors with aspirations for a title run vs. their playing time in preparation for their next contract.
Masai stated that he would be aggressive in pursuing players from the BO, he is on clock.

Masai is not you and me, he has clout with some of these players. Its a matter of how aggressive he is convincing them to join the Raptors title run

Only 34.4% from 3 this year, but shot 40% last year.
44.8% on wide open 3's.. and he'll get plenty of those opportunities on Toronto.
Bring him home?9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

Markieff Moris - back up PF (risk due to history but heard he’s a good friend of Kyle), has a decent stroke from outside who can stretch the floor. He can be the bad guy for a contender.
Omri Casspi - another scorer (36% career beyond 22 ft)
Wayne Ellington - dead eye shooter, Raptors are desperate to have one
Courtney Lee - another scorer and had played with Marc in the past
Jeremy Lin or Ben Mclemore - both can play the PG or SG position
Lee is an inconstent shooter.
Casspi is a terrible shooter. McLemore is meh. Morris from i've heard suffered a spinal injury or somethi g.
The Hawks the other day said that they're not waiving anynof their veteran players.
So there's not a lot of options.Mamba Mentality

Should go get Teodosic
