New coach, new star players, a young squad, some veterans. Results? That remains to be seen.
In his zeal to continue building a strong contender (make that playoff contender), Raptor President Masai Ujiri's tenure practically rides on the success of the DeRozan for Leonard/Green trade.
Ujiiri has said he has every confidence that the acquisition of Leonard & Green will give the team that edge so often missing in their quest in the post-season.
Of course, we all know what "The Claw" and Green can do. The Claw??! Ah, that is Kawhi Leonard's nickname on account of his large hands and grip of the basketball. Add to that he being among one of the best defensive forwards in the game, a veteran superstar who knows his game and can add a dimension or two to a team's lineup.
Danny Green is another important piece of the trade acquisition here as he gives the Raptors plenty of presence up front. Leonard and Green are enthusiastic in what they've seen so far in practicing with the team during this period of training camp, and the Raptors will be showcasing themselves in their first pre-season game versus the Portland Trail Blazers tomorrow.
The Raptors regular season game begins October 17 versus the Cleveland Cavs.
Until then, let's get familiar once again with the 2018-2019 pre-season roster:
