*tap* *tap* Is this thing on? It’s been a while! Apologies for that, our entire network just migrated to a new writing software. You may be able to tell by our makeover 🙂
Welcome to the new but also same Raptors HQ. Thanks for being patient with us as our team figures out this new system, but by the time we get rolling with preseason, we should be smooth sailing. I hope our new features, such as The Feed, help connect all of us for fun conversations about the Toronto Raptors.
So, what have we missed during the dark 48 hours the technology forces were switching our website? Probably the biggest news was that Chris Boucher signed with the Boston Celtics, leaving Toronto. With his departure, the Toronto Raptors no longer have a single piece from their 2019 Championship Team, and the longest tenured player is Scottie Barnes. Pretty wild. It’s a new era (officially) for the Raptors, just like it is for us!
Other than that, the summer has been pretty quiet. The Raptors have made a few transactions, including waiving Colin Castleton, but otherwise, it seems we are truly getting a real offseason. Unless you write about the WNBA, like I do… then we are hours from the trade deadline! “How do you do it, Chelsea?” Coffee. I seem to be doing fine, though, judging by the fact that I impulsively entered myself into a half-marathon and started training about a month ago. That’s the real burden right now… lol
I guess August was a great time to switch operating systems over here, since it’s pretty quiet. We will continue with our regularly scheduled programming very soon, as we figure out how to get the rest of the team logged in. I feel like that Will Smith meme of him in the empty room right now.
We will be back with dramatic way-too-soon predictions about the upcoming NBA season, WNBA news, and guessing how many games the Raptors will win very soon. Until then, join me in The Feed and let me know what you’re looking forward to seeing this season from the Toronto Raptors.
