According to an article from Basketball Insiders Reporter Steve Kyler, there have been some exploratory trade discussions between the Raptors and Magic about big man Serge Ibaka. Kyler says that the Magic, who are easily the most active team on the trade market at the moment, discussing deals for players such as Ibaka, Nikola Vucevic, [...]

Lucas Nogueira is a third-year player out of Brazil who is seeing his first consistent playing time in the NBA this season. He is a valuable shot blocker and rebounder in a reserve role for the Toronto Raptors playing 19 minutes per game. Fun fact, when I was in Las Vegas for NBA Summer League [...]

You’d think DeMar DeRozan wouldn’t carry a huge chip on his shoulder after helping the Toronto Raptors make an Eastern Conference Finals appearance and signing a near-max deal. Then again, maybe you wouldn’t think that. Because that chip is still there. As he told NBA.com’s David Aldridge: Me: Y’all are always under the radar because [...]

DeMar DeRozan is having a career year that no one saw coming. Literally no one. Except maybe him. Speaking with ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst, DeRozan talked about how he took exception to preseason NBA player rankings that didn’t even slot him in the top 25: After his second All-Star season and strong play in the deepest [...]

Don’t ask the Toronto Raptors about their 102-99 loss against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night. They don’t want to hear it. Down by three with 2.4 seconds to go, DeMarre Carroll inbounded the ball to Terrence Ross, who heaved up a trey that found the bottom of the net. Only, DeMarcus Cousins deflected the [...]

But Durant was no friend or fan or groupie of Drake’s on Wednesday. He dropped [...]

Even in injury, it doesn’t appear Nerlens Noel wants for trade suitors. With the Philadelphia 76ers’ frontcourt logjam alive as ever, we can expect Jahlil Okafor’s and Noel’s names to be bandied about the rumor mill until one or both of them is moved. Though the Sixers have already moved Jerami Grant, they’ve never once [...]

As expected the Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry will opt out of the final year of his contract to test the free agent waters next summer. Even though Lowry’s preference would be to remain in Toronto, he knows he will command a heavy price in this market. “I think it should be a situation [...]

Today’s is the most special day of the year (big assumption) for one of the newest members of the Orlando Magic, Bismack Biyombo, it is his birthday. The five-year veteran turns 24 today, but some of his former Raptor teammates believe the product from the Republic of the Congo may be a little older than [...]

Jared Sullinger’s free-agency logic is irrefutable. Complex’s Ryan Morik caught up with the new member of Toronto Raptors and asked him about his decision to sign with Canada’s finest. He answered the question with another question: Why the Raptors? Why not. It was almost like a no brainer. It was a situation where not only [...]
