Once again, it’s been an absolute rollercoaster of a season for the Toronto Raptors.
It started off in dramatic fashion, with Masai Ujiri trading franchise hero and long-time Raptor, DeMar DeRozan, to the San Antonio Spurs for the taciturn and distant, Kawhi Leonard.
Emotionally, it was a tough move. The Raptors had to give up one of the greatest players in franchise history for a potential rental. Your heart probably said no, for a brief moment anyway, but the head was always going to say yes.
The ambition was clear: take this team as far as humanly possible.
