The Toronto Raptors' season ended with a Game 7 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team's future is now in focus, with no key players entering free agency. Sandro Mamukelashvili has a $2.8 million player option, while Jamal Shead has a $2.3 million team option that will be exercised. RJ Barrett is heading toward a contract year in 2026-27, and Brandon Ingram has a player option in 2027-28. The Raptors must decide whether their current core is good enough or if they need to pursue a major trade this offseason. Their roster could remain largely the same next season, but whether that's a good thing remains to be seen.
