The Toronto Raptors free agency plan for the 2021 offseason has to revolve around getting enough depth to fix their disappointing defense from last year. While the Raptors will always be an offensive-minded club under Nick Nurse, stars were able to carve through this defense like a hot knife through butter.

Toronto ranked 15th in defense over the course of the season, but this unit was even worse at the beginning of the season, when a calamitous start ruined whatever chances this team had at a successful season in addition to all of the Tampa-induced weirdness that made this season so difficult.
