The Toronto Raptors have really improved the team this off-season

The Raptors have really brought in a ton of talent this off-season as the front office has been super aggressive. Jarrett Jack was signed to start at shooting guard for the Raptors and he’s a talented player who could easily run the offense if something were to happen to Jose Calderon. Hedo Turkoglu was brought in from the Magic in a huge trade. His shooting should help open up the paint more for Chris Bosh in the middle. The Raptors brought in some muscle in the trade market getting PF Reggie Evans from the Sixers and Amir Johnson from the Bucks. SG/SF Antoine Wright, SG Marco Belinelli and guard Sonny Weems are all running type players who should fit right in with the Raptors off the bench. SG/SF DeMar DeRozan was the first round pick of the Raptors and he’s talented but he will likely find minutes hard to come by as a rookie. The Raptors also re-signed power forward/center Andrea Bargnani and that was also a good move. The Raptors did lose six players in trades this off-season with Jason Kapono, Kris Humphries, Shawn Marion, Nathan Jawai, Roko Ukic and Carlos Delfino moving on. But the Raptors won’t miss any of those players this season as they look like a NBA Title contender.

FRONT OFFICE GRADE SO FAR: A
