With the Raptors’ playoff hopes slipping away, someone has to say it: Toronto’s front office moves in the off-season on have been something of a mess. Yes, Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster locked up Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby, but they failed to construct a coherent roster, let alone one that fit the style of play the team tries to play.
There are, of course, other contributing factors — like an unprecedented global pandemic — on which to blame the Raptors’ misfortunes. However, there’s no doubt that the big men that were brought in to replace the departed Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka have flopped.
