The Raptors may have been 17-5 without Leonard, but that was also when they had more depth: they have also lost Green, and most of these games were pre-Gasol trade.
They can bring O.G. in at the 3, but there is a serious hole at the 2. They need a 2 with size as well, especially since their bench guards in Van Vleet and Powell are small.
This all being said, it could be time to do a soft reset: lock in Siakam and O.G. then flip the expiring deals to shake up roster.
