New York Times  

After spending six and a half seasons as teammates on the Toronto Raptors, OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam find themselves on parallel tracks yet again in their departures from the franchise. Acquiring a player before their contract is up takes the sign-and-trade restrictions out of play entirely, plus the current collective bargaining agreement contains a lot of flexibility for matching …

For those of you that have held on strong through the dark days of the NBA offseason, I commend you.

TORONTO — The lack of success of the Toronto Raptors’ starting lineup last season was one of the main reasons to be skeptical about their chances for success this year. While the 150 minutes VanVleet, Barnes, Anunoby, Siakam and Poeltl had played together is not a huge sample, only 56 other five-man units in the league had played more total …

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet began his profanity-filled tirade on Wednesday by saying, “I’ll take a fine, I don’t really care.” The NBA obliged a day later, handing him a $30,000 fine for “public criticism of the officiating.” That description is a euphemism for what VanVleet said following the Raptors’ 108-100 road defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers. “I thought …
