It has been a crazy week in the NBA between the Draft and the various transfers between the franchises, all in order to be ready for the start of the season that will be in almost a month. In Toronto there has not been much noise, but the management released a news that had already been cooking for a few weeks: The Raptors will play in Tampa Bay during the start of the 2020-21 season.
Through a press release, Masai Ujiri informed his fans that the franchise worked with the corresponding authorities in Canada to play their home games at Scotibank Arena, their home. However, the current health situation in Canada, in addition to the restrictions that exist to travel from the United States, force them to move to Tampa Bay. There is a rumor that the arrival of the Raptors in this Florida city could bring some changes, especially in the divisions of the Eastern Conference.
As the Raptors belong to the Atlantic Division, with teams from NY, Boston and Philadelphia, one option may be a cataphix between Toronto and Washington, so the Canadians could be in the Southeast Division to face Miami, Orlando, Atlanta and Charlotte. . This measure would only be for this season to concentrate these franchises in the same area and avoid, as far as possible, long trips.
