Toronto Raptors

Say Hello to: DeMarre Carroll, Cory Joseph, Bismack Biyombo, Luis Scola, Delon Wright, Norman Powell

Farewell: Lou Williams, Amir Johnson, Landry Fields, Greg Stiemsma, Tyler Hansbrough, Chuck Hayes, Greivis Vasquez

’14-’15 record: 49-33

The good guys should be good enough once again. The Atlantic Division won’t be the Titanic this season, as the Raptors and Celtics should be well above .500.

The press hasn’t been kind to Masai Ujiri for letting Lou Williams walk away, but we should be able to backfill nicely. We haven’t lost anyone essential, and we’ve gained some defenders. Whether that’s sufficient to hold off Boston and nail down a third straight pennant remains to be seen, but I’m confident.

What do you say, Rapture Nation? Am I underrating a team you like as a dark horse, or overrating our team? Let me know in the Comments.
