As free agency winds down and the rosters look set for training camps, the Toronto Raptors set their sights on the preseason. The Raptors had a hard offseason losing long-time Raptor and former NBA Champion Fred VanVleet.
Despite the brutal blow, the front office was able to retain rim protector Jakob Poeltl and pull Dennis Schroder away from the Lakers. The Raptors stole a player away from Nick Nurse and the rival 76ers when they used some of their leftover money to sign Jalen McDaniels as a bench piece.
So far, including the addition of Schroder, the front office has largely doubled down on running it back with many of the same stars from last season.
