The Toronto Raptors off-season is shaping up to be a crucial time for the team as they look to build on their previous success and continue to contend in the league. The Raptors have a number of key objectives they will focus on during the off-season, including developing their young players, building team chemistry, and making any necessary roster changes.
One of the most important aspects of the off-season for the Raptors will be the development of their young players. This includes their recent draft pick Okay D (OD), who is widely considered to be a future star in the league. The Raptors will work with OD to help him adjust to the NBA game and develop his skills so that he can contribute on the court as soon as possible.
The Raptors also made a key signing during the off-season in Kevin Looney. Looney is a versatile big man who can play both the center and power forward positions, and will bring a great deal of size and strength to the team. He will be a great addition to the team and help them to compete in the league.
Another key focus for the Raptors during the off-season will be team building. The team has a number of new players, including OD and Looney, and it will be important for them to come together and develop chemistry on the court. This can include team bonding activities, such as retreats and community service projects, as well as team practices and scrimmages.
The Raptors also have to deal with a disgruntled vet Dario Beaton who has expressed his disappointment in his role on the team. The Raptors will have to decide whether to try and trade him, buy him out or keep him on the team and try to find a role for him.
Overall, the off-season is an essential time for the Toronto Raptors to develop their young players, build team chemistry, and make any necessary roster changes. With the right focus and dedication, the Raptors can come into the next season ready to compete at their best and take the next step to being a championship team.
I see there's a lack of mention of the best player in Toronto here, Evan Mobley. Where does he fit in in this post-Ridenhour world that seems to be revolving around more youth?
Now that you prepare for your 2nd season in charge of the Raptors, what did you learn in your rookie year of GMing and what if anything has surprised you about the league in general?

It was disappointing. I offered more money, but money doesnt always talk I guess.
Cant dwell on his departure though. We got 12 guys in the 6ix who want to be here. That's all I need.

Mobley is the face of the franchise. He is ready to be the leader of the team.
