No matter which way you spin it, this has not been the most inspiring offseason for the Toronto Raptors.
After drafting Kansas guard Gradey Dick with the No. 13 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft (good), the Raptors re-signed centre Jakob Poeltl to a four-year, $80-million contract (pretty good) before watching Dalano Banton (bad) and Fred VanVleet (very bad) walk away in free agency. Now there are reports that All-NBA forward Pascal Siakam might be on the trading block.
The Raptors find themselves at a bit of a crossroads, with no clear direction or plan moving forward.
