The Toronto Raptors made some big subtractions from the equation in preparation for the 2021 season, as the loss of Kyle Lowry and a handful of bench contributors may take some time to overcome. All of this turmoil has some speculating that Toronto will spend another season down in the dumps of the East.
While even Masai Ujiri has tried his hardest to warn fans that the beginning of this season could be a bumpy ride, both he and GM Bobby Webster seem committed to a core of Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, and OG Anunoby for the next few seasons and beyond.
