The 2017 playoffs: a fork in the Raptors road

What if James Dolan had agreed to the Kyle Lowry fire sale trade in 2013?

What if the Raptors hadn’t offered DeMar DeRozan a max contact?

What if Frank Vogel had not stuck to his woeful bench unit in game six of the 2016 opening round playoff series?

If any of these choices had produced a different outcome, the current iteration of the Raptors would look a lot different. But, instead, here we are, facing another franchise-defining moment: the 2017 playoffs.
