"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."
"Something big is brewing. Big, big. I can feel it in my marrows. They're jiggling in anticipation. My spidey senses tingling like I injected jalapeño margaritas into my spinal cord. It feels wrong, I know. Why and in what world would Toronto think now is the time to punch the big, fat, red all-in button? They've won nothing the past two years. Their core is young, untested, and unsubstantiated. Seems rash."
2025 featured wild emotional swings for the Toronto Raptors, beginning with a trade for Brandon Ingram that enabled continued tanking to the end of the year. The team failed to rise in the draft and selected Collin Murray-Boyles. The season alternated between promising performances and sharp collapses, producing a roller-coaster campaign. Coverage captured reactions to the Ingram trade, the Murray-Boyles pick, and the late-season collapse. A prominent editorial claimed the franchise appears poised to go all-in, using vivid metaphors to describe simmering momentum and questioning whether an aggressive push is prudent versus a patient path, noting Jakob Pöltl's looming player option.
