"The year of 2025 has been one defined maybe most by wild swings of emotion for the Toronto Raptors. Toronto traded for Brandon Ingram, which allowed it to continue to tank to end the year. Then the team didn't rise in the draft and added Collin Murray-Boyles. The season started, and the team looked great! (For one game.) Then terrible, then great, now terrible again. A real roller coaster."
"Through it all, there has been comprehensive coverage here at Raptors Republic. Some of the top stories include reactions to that trade for Ingram, that Murray-Boyles pick, the collapse of the team's fortunes over the previous few weeks. We've been here, with you, watching it all unfold. If 2026 is anything similar, we could lose five years of our lives."
""I was so pissed," Boucher said of his start with the team."
2025 brought wild emotional swings for the Toronto Raptors, with a trade for Brandon Ingram that allowed the team to continue tanking, a draft that produced Collin Murray-Boyles, and a season that alternated between brief promise and prolonged struggles. Fans reacted strongly to the Ingram trade, the Murray-Boyles pick, and the team's late collapse. Chris Boucher passed Vince Carter and reflected on his Raptors journey, describing his 2018 entry via summer league and training camp, a two-way deal, being stashed in Mississauga, and dominant Raptors 905 averages that led to G-League MVP and Defensive Player of the Year honors. Boucher said he was "so pissed" about his early treatment.
