TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors are reportedly getting one of the top targets on the buyout market.

ESPN reports point guard Jeremy Lin is finalizing a buyout with the Atlanta Hawks to allow him to sign with the Toronto Raptors.

The 30-year-old Lin is averaging 10.7 points per game on 46.6 per cent shooting from the field this season.

The Raptors were looking for a third point guard after trading Delon Wright to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the deal to acquire Marc Gasol last week.
