The All ex-Raptors active team

Tried to make a roster of the best former raptors still active. Am I missing anyone good?

Not doing this to say, oh look at all the good players the Raptors let go. Stuff happens in the NBA, I know. I wonder if any other NBA teams have a better roster of former players. Maybe a bunch do, I don't know. But if we leave out salary cap, the ex-Raps team could win a title easily.

1. Fred / Kyle
2. DD / Norm
3. Kawhi / OG
4. Pascal
5. JV

Delon/Brissett/Banton/Yuta/Precious

Coach: Nick Nurse

We all have different opinions, and that is one thing that makes this forum great.

We really developed some winners. Raptors players are so underrated and then they join their new teams and make huge impacts and everyone in the US is shocked lol

If you put Kawhi on our current roster we would be a title contender. The man is that good.

I’d go with:

FVV
Kawhi
OG
Pascal
JV

DD, Lowry, Norm, Ibaka off the bench. Front court depth wouldn’t be good but overall this is a damn good team.

I omitted Ibaka and other retired players.

I still wonder if there's any other NBA team with a better roster of active former players. But too lazy to research it. Of course two recent trades have really beefed up this hypothetical team

Fred Van Vleet / Kyle Lowry /Delon Wright
Norman Powell / Demar Derozan / Dalano Banton
Kawhi Leonard / OG Anunoby / Oshae Brissett
Pascal Siakam / PJ Tucker / James Johnson
Jonas Valanciunas / Bismack Biyombo / Alex Len

I was thinking about this recently, and it is cool to see so many former Raptors still contributing to other teams. Speaks to the depth we had leading to the championship. Also helps build Toronto's reputation around the league.
