After the last great season, first conference finals in the history, the Toronto Raptors are ready for the new season and today they gathered in Toronto for the beginning of the training camp.

“I know where we got to last year, I know there are expectations but what are expectations in sports? Winning, that’s the mandate,” said team president Masai Ujiri.
“People would talk about the West, but the East is creeping up now. We recognize that it’s going to be harder. When you win a little bit you become more of a target,” Ujiri said.
“Cleveland is Cleveland, the best team in the NBA. I don’t care how we talk about it or how we do it, there are 29 losers, or 29 I shouldn’t say losers, 29 teams that didn’t win. Everyone of them is coming right back at you trying to win. And we’re one of them.”
The Toronto Raptors will fly to Vancouver where they'll play against the Golden State Warriors on 1st October. for the first preseason's game.
