right now the Raptors are better than the Cavs.Cavs have played 3 more games than Toronto.
Cavs are missing Rubio and Sexton for the season.
Raptors have 2 guys who are all star talents in their primes in Van Fleet and Siakam. OG and Trent are excellent role players. Barnes is one of the best rookies in the last 5 years. I expect the Raptors to be a playoff team.
Now- a year or two from now? I got the Cavs as better. As good as Barnes is, Mobley is just in a different class potential wise. Garland and Allen are guys who are already getting All Star consideration and are still so young. Okoro will get better. Sexton may be back, or may be traded for pieces.
Raptors have Siakam, Van Fleet, OG, Trent, and Barnes signed through the '23-'24 season. That is basically your core unless you trade one of thsoe guys.
