Grading every Toronto Raptors move this offseason

The 2019 offseason was perhaps the most important summer in Toronto Raptors history. Fresh off an NBA Championship, the team faced a range of outcomes a mile wide. If Kawhi Leonard returned, they would be championship contenders, perhaps even favorites. If Kawhi left, the team faced the possibility of a full-fledged rebuild.

In reality, the team split the difference. Of course, Kawhi left to Los Angeles, and Danny Green followed him (sort-of, but not really). But the team elected not to face a full-fledged rebuild — at least for now.

With most rosters already set by the time Kawhi had made his decision, Masai Ujiri decided not to make any rash decisions.
