The need for a culture change was the first thought expressed by Raptors’ president, Masai Ujiri in his postseason press conference, but with the retention of head coach, Dwane Casey, and the signings of Ibaka and Lowry, a new culture will have to be built by old faces.
For their first moves of the offseason, the Raptors have brought back two of their most significant and impactful players. Kyle Lowry has signed a reported three-year $100 million contract, while Serge Ibaka signed a three-year $65 million contract. Both moves come as little surprise from fans and media alike.
