How do you view the performance of Toronto Raptors in the new season? Experts agree that it is a strong contender for the first prize, please analyze it in detail, thank you for your help!

One of the main hard criteria for the champion's attribution is that this team must have a very poor performance in the past season, so bad that it can at least rank in the top five. From this perspective, I think the Raptors do have such "strength". Moreover, next season, the Raptors are determined to rebuild. For some old players like Bagnani, the team should consider trading something in exchange for some fresh blood and training new people. So I think their game next season may go through a painful transition season like Timberwolves, SuperSonics and Kings in previous years. But when it comes to lottery tickets, the number one winner still needs luck in the end. You see, the Heat in 2007-08 was ruined, and only won 15 in one season, just to get Ross, but only got the second place, so luck is still very important. However, I believe that next year's battle for the top spot will be extremely fierce, because in recent years, the phenomenon of giants getting together is almost rampant, which directly leads to a huge gap between teams, thus leading to one team after another. Therefore, the number of teams in the lottery area should gradually increase, which creates greater suspense for the ownership of the champion. However, the Raptors are indeed a strong contender for the top spot, which is beyond doubt.
