Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's rise to MVP frontrunner with the Oklahoma City Thunder has vindicated a bold prediction he made early in his career, according to Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Schroder. When Gilgeous-Alexander arrived in Oklahoma City in 2019 as part of the Paul George trade package from the Los Angeles Clippers, the then-second-year guard made a striking claim to his new teammate Schroder.

Say what you want about the Toronto Raptors, but there seems to be a strong sense of alignment throughout the organization. What that means or adds up to in the coming few seasons will be for the future to decide, but we’ve seen the benefits of it before.

Raptors waive both Cole Swider & Orlando Robinson. Had reported Swider would be but surprised by Robinson. Good chance Raptors convert AJ Lawson to a regular NBA deal with team option for next season that includes training camp guarantees etc. I’ve heard Colin Castleton too.
From last night … on Chris Boucher, who hopefully will get another special moment — one way or another — with Raptors fans he’s energized so many times:
Chris Boucher has had a one-of-a-kind career with the Raptors. There’s a path for him to come back next season, but if not the tribute video will be must watch: https://t.co/JY1LOSWEgf
