Predictions for the season
Saying the Raptors will have a slow start isn't breaking the internet. In fact, they might surprise everybody if they start the season strong and are leading the Conference around Christmas time. Either way, at the end of the campaign, I predict them to win 50+ games for a fourth straight season.

The impending Leonard free-agency is going to loom over the team all through the season. It's going to be a talking point after every loss. For the first time in a few years, Leonard's compatibility with the team would be seen as a bigger mission than the team's short-term success in the 2018-19 season. So it matters, how Leonard will get along in Toronto and with the players on the roster.
