The 2017–18 Toronto Raptors season is the 23rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). On June 28, 2017, the Raptors promoted assistant general manager Bobby Webster to become their new general manager, while Masai Ujiri will continue as team president.[1] Webster's promotion came over a month after their previous general manager, Jeff Weltman, left the Raptors to become the President of Basketball Operations for the Orlando Magic, with the Raptors acquiring a second-round pick in 2018 in order for them to release Weltman early.
