The past two seasons have netted the Toronto Raptors a pair of Atlantic Division titles and two franchise-record win totals.
But they also produced two first-round exits, exposing problems with experience and imbalance. The Raptors attacked both fronts over the summer.
They were tilted far too heavily toward the offensive end in 2014-15, ranking third in efficiency there but 23rd at the opposite side. Considering it typically takes a top-10 standing at both ends to contend for the NBA crown, Toronto had a clear motive driving its roster remodeling.
