I see other teams have already started Media Day, but ours apparently doesn't start until next Monday? Anyone know why we are starting so far behind? Shouldn't we get the boys warmed up and ready to go sooner rather than later, especially if we are shooting for the playoffs?

iirc that has to do with teams that are playing pre season games overseas.

I was going to create a similar thread yesterday until I realized other teams are starting their training camp earlier because theyre going overseas.
I thought the death of RealGM was upon us lol.

Lol, not every team starts media day and training camp at the same time.
25 teams have media day on September 29, including us.

Did everyone else find that the wait for the Raptors has been interminable this year?
It feels like it's been two years since the season ended.
