Let us now speak of the Toronto Raptors, a team that hasn't been spoken of much, I would say.

0:07.2

They were the team that probably had the most interesting season a year ago due to its trade activity but less so on the floor in part

0:17.2

because we just didn't get a chance to see a lot of the new players that they had
