Episode 8 | Life After The Rapture (TOR Raptors) - a podcast by LoudBooth Podcasts

The Toronto Raptors Are A Ball Club On The Rebuild For The Second Time In 3 Season's, Unlike Most Rebuilding Sides, Toronto Has An NBA Championship & A Superstar Level Player To Show For It All - Losing A Franchise Cornerstone Like DeMar DeRozan In The Kawhi Leonard Trade, Before Watching Leonard Leave For LA After Winning A Ring Certainly Stung The Raptors & They Will Do Well To Bounce Back From That Setback Quickly - Pascal Siakam Is A Potential Superstar & Franchise Cornerstone For The Raptors, A Gift From The Basketball God's After Kawhi Jumped Ship For Pastures Anew, The Toronto Brains Trust Will Have To Begin Working Out Ways To Rebuild Around Spicy P's Peak Window, Which In Essence Begins This Season...



Player Development Is Something Toronto Prides Itself On, And Rightfully So... With Fred Van Vleet, OG Anunoby, And Chris Boucher All Potentially Graduating Into The Starting 5 This Season, After Playing Backup Roles For The Past Two Years, Much Like Siakam Did Before His Breakout Season, Toronto Has An Opportunity To Do Most Of Their Retooling In-House, While Supplementing This New, Younger Roster With A Couple Of Good Pieces That Can Help Them Stay In Contention Out East, Where Anything Can Happen Over The Next 2/3 Season's, Potentially Opening Up A Window For Somebody To Assert Themselves As The King In The East; Of The Many Contenders, Between The Bucks, The 76ers, The Heat, The Nets & Maybe Even The Wizards, Toronto Have The Most Recent NBA Champions On Their Roster & Arguably Have The Best Overall Balance Between Youthful Energy & Experienced Mentality, Making Them A Team To Watch-Out For, Depending On How They Go About Their Business.
