Things have gotten ugly for the Raptors, and that’s putting it lightly. The team has now lost five games in a row, falling to a lowly 11th in the Eastern Conference. It’s abundantly clear that these losses are the product of a team playing without their best players, and yet the Raptors fan base is currently ablaze with trade machine ideas, tanking slogans (e.g. Fade for Cade) and general malaise. With the NBA trade deadline just over a week away, Masai Ujiri will have to decide the Raptors’ fate. Will the team give up midway through the season, gut the roster and bank on a high draft pick, or will they take one more swing at a championship in Kyle Lowry’s contract year?
