“Allow me to reintroduce myself....”
On the 17th floor of the Globe & Mail Centre in downtown Toronto, the Raptors stepped away from the friendly (and familiar) confines of Scotiabank Arena and the OVO Athletic Centre to signal a new era of Raptors basketball.
The media event was held to formally announce the contract extensions of Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley. While the agreements with both players were seen as a formality, the magnitude of those deals allowed the team to set the stage for what lies ahead.
No financial details were disclosed for either player but thankfully, Adrian Wojnarowski is still around to drop bombs (atomically).
