This is usually the time the NBA catches its collective breath with the majority of the significant free agents signed, the summer leagues all done and teams pretty well set on the idea of who they’ll invite to training camps in September.
It’s generally a time to relax, to vacation, to settle down a bit, to let the dust settle and allow fans to take stock of what their teams have done and figure out where they may fit in the grand picture of things.
These are not those times.
It is especially true in Toronto where a few gigantic dominoes have to fall before Raptors fans can go off into the summer imagining how the 2022-23 season might play out.
