The Toronto Raptors’ organization bet on themselves this offseason in trading away the city’s (and Kyle Lowry’s) beloved DeMar DeRozan to replace him with Kawhi Leonard, a superstar whose future currently exists on uncertain terms. It was a bold move to say the least, but one that is clearly paying dividends early on this season as the Raptors have now tied their best start to a season in franchise history (5-0) with tonight’s 112-105 win over the Wolves.
In watching tonight’s game, it’s clear why Toronto made the offseason moves that they did.
