The Toronto Raptors have a difficult path back to contention after Pascal Siakam became the most recent departure.
The Toronto Raptors, who won the NBA championship in 2019, were able to avert a precipitous decline. They were still competitive even after the departure of big players.
It’s becoming more and more difficult to keep up these days.
Pascal Siakam was traded by the Raptors to high-scoring Indiana last week, and if their first three games without him are any guide, they are in for a difficult journey. Toronto suffered losses of sixteen to Chicago, twenty-six to New York, and eight to Memphis on Monday evening.
Coach Darko Rajakovic stated, “We’ll need some time to work and install and understand where guys need to be on the court and how to play off of each other.” We must watch films, improve, and put in the necessary effort. The process has only just begun.
Although Rajakovic used the word “process,” Toronto’s team management is somewhat of a parody of what the Philadelphia 76ers did a few years ago. The Raptors did not win the NBA championship in 2019 as a result of using several first-round picks. Only once, in 2006, did Toronto select Andrea Bargnani as its first choice.
