Declining his 2023-24 player option would have allowed Trent to pursue a more lucrative deal.
Trent Jr. averaged 17.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 66 games for the Raptors this season.
Fellow teammate Fred VanVleet decided to test the waters of NBA free agency. The 29-year-old point guard opted out of his contract on Monday and will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
