The Raptors don’t have a lot of (any?) cap space, and haven’t really popped up in any discussion regarding any top flight free agents. No, Toronto is not getting LeBron, and nabbing someone like Paul George also feels extremely unlikely — or just downright impossible due to the luxury tax crunch. Taken all together, this is the risk you run when you invest in your core (and that watch that core get swept in the playoffs in embarrassing fashion). Such is life.
But that’s not stopping the Raptors from putting it out there that, well, they’re available.
