After an exhilarating week of rumors and roster shakeups that have had league-wide repercussions, the annual NBA trade deadline has come and gone. With an Eastern Conference that is still wide open, the Toronto Raptors, along with their rivals have treated this past deadline as an all-out arms race, trading in their stockpiled assets, for win-now type weapons.
The Raptors still have a few final roster spots remaining for the buyout market, but for the most part, all the flashy and statement-making moves have already been made.
The 2018-2019 campaign for the Raptors has been largely regarded as an all-in season, where the stakes for the franchise are at an all-time high.
