As the NBA’s only team based outside the United States, the Toronto Raptors had more challenges to overcome once the pandemic swept around the world. Travel restrictions and quarantine rules made it impossible to have games in Canada.
Two years ago, the Toronto Raptors were NBA Champions after defeating the Golden State Warriors in six games. Since then, things have changed.
The Miami Heat acquired Kyle Lowry last week in a sign-and-trade agreement with the Toronto Raptors. Even though they’re currently being investigated for tampering, the move is not expected to be voided. So Miami should keep its new point guard.
Seven NBA Summer League games were played on Sunday, August 8th. It was great to have a slate of basketball games and there were some big-time Summer League standouts across the association.
The 2021 NBA Draft night went by without any moves from the Miami Heat. The Heat had the opportunity to use their available $5.6 million cash to buy a second-round pick but didn’t. However, Miami’s next opportunity comes tomorrow with free agency opening up.
The NBA Draft just concluded and the newly added recruits are heading to their new organizations. This year’s draft class was filled with pick swaps, surprising picks, and big trades. Within the first pick selection, the league saw a huge trade that sent Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook to the Los Angeles Lakers for Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Montrezl Harrell and the 22nd pick in the draft.
Following a second-round exit from the NBA playoffs, rumors are already swirling regarding a potential Ben Simmons trade this offseason. Things may have hit a breaking point for the Philadelphia 76ers after Simmons struggled mightily in the playoffs.
This was supposed to be the offseason where the Miami Heat completed their 2021 master plan. A plan that involved acquiring another star player to join Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in Miami. Now, the name linked to the Heat this summer will be Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry.
They say that you should never judge a book by its cover. Perhaps the same could be said about NBA teams. You wouldn’t understand a team’s story unless you know their full season.
The Toronto Raptors went into the 2020-2021 NBA season with hopes of making the playoffs with Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam leading the way. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.
The NBA trade deadline is this Thursday. According to the Ringer’s Kevin O’Conner, Miami is making a strong push for Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry.
