The Raptors should definitely be favourites in the East, top 3 team in the conference easily. Arguably a top 3 team in the league after the Warriors and in the mix with the Rockets, Celtics, Sixers.
The improvement of going from Derozan to a (potentially) healthy Kawhi Leonard is massive, and we also added Danny Green who is gonna solidify the team a lot. At the end of the day, I like Poeltl but losing him is not nearly as big a hit as it would have been losing OG, Siakam or Delon. We also brought back VanVleet who was brilliant off the bench. We do need to acquire a backup big since Ibaka is awful and Nogueira was non-tendered.
