Synopsis: In my latest at Sportsnet, I updated my annual Raptors free agency and salary cap primer to get you ready for the offseason following draft night.
As we’re so often guilty of doing, it’s time to quickly turn the page from a very fun NBA Draft night to what’s next.
What’s next for the Toronto Raptors are a number of major decisions in free agency. While a few things have changed slightly since our initial summer primer dropped, the big question remains: In which direction are the Raptors going, and what does that mean for the futures of Fred VanVleet and Jakob Poeltl? The Raptors have given small indications that a run-it-back-adjacent strategy might be likeliest, but those players control their own futures.
Ahead of the June 30 news frenzy, let’s take a look at some of the small changes to the Raptors’ situation that have developed and reset what the free agency situation looks like. I’ll direct you to the full initial primer for explanations of the rules and mechanics; this piece will just update the situation.
