Bleav In Raptors

The Toronto Raptors haven’t looked particularly hot during this recent stretch without Kawhi Leonard. They haven’t been playing their best brand of basketball; buckets have been hard to come by, and their trademark defensive identity hasn’t been up to par.

As a result, Toronto has taken some tough losses in its last few matchups, prompting Amos and Daniel to unpack whether this team is in the midst of an identity crisis — and whether growing concerns about the Raptors’ ability to reach the upper echelon of Eastern Conference contenders are justified.

All that and much more on this edition of Bleav in Raptors!

WE are so close to the start of the highly anticipated 2026-27 Toronto Raptors season, our dear friends!

Raptors Media Day 2026 has passed, and preseason action is officially underway! The Raps didn't get the result they were probably hoping for, and we're yet to see Kawhi Leonard suit up in his Raptors threads once again, but in that first affair... There were still a ton of key notes to consider.

Amos and Daniel unpack their thoughts from the media day press conferences and insights from game one of the preseason... perhaps some overreactions here and there, haha, but spirited takes nonetheless! 

So sit back, relax, and join us on this exciting edition of Bleav in Raptors!

Our dear friends... the wait is FINALLY over!

Kawhi Leonard is BACK, babyyy! And for real this time.

After a long summer and offseason of waiting for this investigation to be resolved, the Raptors and Clippers finally came to terms on their originally agreed-upon trade from June 30. With that, we can now look ahead to the Raptors' 2026-27 season with clarity and confidence, knowing that the Klaw is back in TDot for a second run, and nothing can stand in their way now. Well, except for the other hungry East squads also gunning for that top spot, haha.

On this edition of Bleav in Raptors, Amos and Daniel assess the Kawhi Leonard element with this finalized trade in mind, while also looking at the rest of the team and the major storylines expected ahead of the 2026-27 NBA regular season.

Summer is winding down, and you know what that means. The 2026-27 NBA season is just around the corner... about two months out until our beloved Toronto Raptors are back on the hardwood.

However, their big offseason move (trading for Kawhi Leonard) is still on hold and hasn't been made official yet. We've been hearing new updates, reports, and twists to this story/investigation all summer long, but the waiting game has dragged on quite a bit.

On this edition of Bleav in Raptors, join your hosts Amos and Daniel as they share their thoughts on the Kawhi Leonard situation, dive into the juicy offseason move shaking up the East with LeBron James heading to the Philadelphia 76ers, assess what the Raptors can still do on their roster during the remaining offseason stretch, and offer some early projections on how Toronto might fare against an Eastern Conference that’s shaping up to be a bloodbath.

What a time to be alive...

After a whirlwind of trade rumors, the Raptors actually pulled off a blockbuster trade to reacquire Kawhi Leonard, their golden goose of the iconic 2019 title run. 

Get ready for round two; it's Klaw Szn in Toronto once again!

But the real question is, can the Toronto Raptors capture that same championship magic with Kawhi back in the fold? There is certainly a lot more work to be done, so we'll have to wait and see.

Elsewhere in the Raptors world, a years-long extension was just announced for Coach Darko Rajakovic, a versatile veteran is set to join the team via free agency, while reports of the GROAT coming back one final time to call it a career add to the already feel-good vibes.

Amos and Daniel are beyond hyped about the state of their beloved Toronto Raptors on this edition of Bleav in Raptors.

So sit back, relax, grab your popcorn (it's a long but fun one), and enjoy!
