The Toronto Raptors went into the Summer facing one of the most critical offseasons in franchise history.
If Kawhi Leonard returned, the Raptors were going to bring back a championship-calibre roster. If he left, and Toronto looked to ship off their one-year contracts, the team could be looking at a full-fledged rebuild.
Ultimately, the team ended somewhere in the middle. Toronto is no longer a true contender next season but should be competitive for an Eastern Conference playoff spot. Perhaps it’s not the offseason Raptor fans were hoping for, but the team should be fun next season regardless.
