Did the Toronto Raptors get any better this summer? w/ Vivek Jacob

In Episode 1676, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about the Toronto Raptors offseason moves, whether or not the roster is improved at all, and whether the team has a shot to improve on either offense or defense in 2024-25. Off the top, they chat about the final tally of guys coming in and guys going out, why the loss of Gary Trent Jr. might make the roster look less talented in the immediate future but in the grand scheme, they upside of the roster probably leaves them in better shape than last season in which the team rolled out 30 different players. Next, Sean and Vivek discuss the offensive side of the ball, whether the sound process of last season might start leading to better results, or if the lack of high end shot making talent will still leave the Raptors toiling near the bottom six or seven in the offensive charts. Lastly, they take a look at the defense, which was completely hopeless last season, and will still be in tough in 2024-25; but will the collecting give a crap meter of a team that isn't totally checked out and mishapen lead to a finish higher than the 27th-ranked mark they posted last season?
