(Photo by Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images)   The 2023-24 NBA season has been forgettable, to say the least, for the Toronto Raptors, with the team finishing the season as one of the worst squads in the league. Although the Raptors didn’t have high expectations coming into the 2023-24 campaign, the team seemed talented enough to rally around Scottie Barnes and win more than 25 games, which they couldn’t, as Toronto finished with a disappointing record of 25-57. Fortunately, the Raptors can look forward to the 2024 NBA Draft, where the team now owns three picks in the first 31 selections, whi ..read more

(Photo by Jeenah Moon/Getty Images)   The Toronto Raptors have undergone some big changes this year, including the addition of their new head coach, Darko Rajaković. Things haven’t panned out for Toronto and they are the 12th seed in the East and out of playoff contention. Some people have questioned Rajaković’s coaching skills because of the Raptors’ lackluster season. But Eric Koreen thinks that it’s too soon to really judge Rajaković. “You cannot say Rajaković is a good or bad late-game coach, because his team is so untested,” Koreen wrote for The Athletic. The Raptors' season hasn't ..read more

(Photo by Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images)   The Toronto Raptors are almost certainly rebuilding after trading away Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby this season, but it didn’t prevent them from deciding to extend a veteran player.

Per Adrian Wojnarowski, Olynyk has agreed to a two-year extension to remain in Toronto past this season. Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk has agreed on a two-year ..read more

(Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images)   Vince Carter’s NBA legacy is a complicated one. His longevity was what turned him from a very good player into a legendary one. Carter is the only player to play in four different decades (90s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s). That gives him his rightful place in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. With that in mind, Chandler Parsons asked him which jersey he would wear for his Hall of Fame induction if he could choose one (Via FanDuel and Basketball on X). “Toronto, Toronto, Toronto. It has to be, it’s where it all started. Yes, I had great ye ..read more

(Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)   After a couple of years of dwelling in the middle of the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Raptors decided to go in a different direction. Before the end of the annual NBA trade deadline, the Raptors parted ways with OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam, two players who were highly coveted by the rest of the league. Toronto traded Anunoby and Siakam to the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers, respectively, recouping young players and assets they can use to build around Scottie Barnes. With a clear path forward to contention, the Raptors can use the next couple of ..read more

(Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images)   The Toronto Raptors finally embraced their future when they dealt OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam before the trade deadline. The Raptors have been stuck in mediocrity for years, but by trading away Anunoby and Siakam they were able to hand the keys of the franchise to Scottie Barnes. Barnes had a strong start to the 2023-24 NBA season, and thus made it easier for the Raptors to part with their veterans and kickstart their rebuild. Now, Barnes will be making his first All-Star appearance in Indianapolis this weekend and it should be an exciting mome ..read more

(Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images)   The Los Angeles Lakers have actively been shopping D’Angelo Russell for quite a while now. They re-signed him in the offseason, but he was always one of the prime trade candidates entering the campaign, especially considering how much the team has struggled to find consistency this season. Notably, Russell was the primary trade chip in a potential transaction around Dejounte Murray, with the Lakers keen on acquiring the Atlanta Hawks star. Now, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports that the Toronto Raptors could be another team to look out for in the Russ ..read more

(Photo by Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images)   The Toronto Raptors acquired one of the most sought-after free agents of the last offseason in a trade. Bruce Brown was the icing on the cake of the Pascal Siakam trade, which also got them plenty of draft capital. He’s been tangled up in multiple trade rumors since arriving up north, and he’s reportedly worth at least another first-round pick. With that in mind, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that the Raptors are very likely to move him before the trade deadline (via Evan Sidery). It’s “very likely” Bruce Brown will be traded from the Rapto ..read more
