2010–11 Toronto Raptors season

Before the 2010–11 season began, there was much anticipation around the league over the fates of an elite pack of free agents, featuring the likes of Raptors franchise player Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Amar'e Stoudemire.

[1] Prior to this, Toronto had drafted Ed Davis, also a left-handed power forward like Bosh, acquired Solomon Alabi from the Dallas Mavericks, and picked up Joey Dorsey.

Amir Johnson was signed to a new deal, and Linas Kleiza was made an offer sheet that Denver later refused to match.

[2] After Bosh left, General Manager Bryan Colangelo sought to trade Reggie Evans, José Calderón—the last remaining Raptor from the pre-Colangelo days—and the disenchanted Hedo Türkoğlu to the Charlotte Bobcats for Tyson Chandler, Boris Diaw, Leandro Barbosa and Dwayne Jones.

[2] 13 games into the season, the Raptors traded Jarrett Jack, David Andersen, and Marcus Banks to the New Orleans Hornets for Peja Stojaković and Jerryd Bayless.
