Creation. The Toronto Raptors were established on November 4, 1993, when the NBA, as part of its expansion into Canada, awarded its 28th franchise to a group headed by Toronto businessman John Bitove for a then-record expansion fee of $125 million USD. The raptors are a very talented team with a lot of potential being ran by one of the best shooting guards Demar Derozan, point guard Kyle Lowry, small forward OG Anunoby, Power Forward Serge Ibaka and at Center Jonas Valančiūnas. The Raptors are considered more of a regular season team as they will be one of the best teams in the regular season. Playoffs hit in April and the Raptors don't live up to the expectations upsetting a lot of people due to their regular season sights. The playoff drought led to the Raptors never winning an NBA Championship. being one of the 7 teams to never win a championship. Raptors right now are in the off season after being blown out four to zero against Cleveland Cavaliers and right now are interviewing for a coach as they fired Dwayne Casey even though the Raptors had the number one seed in the Easter Confrence. Raptors are owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment.
