Toronto Raptors - current roster
Several changes to the roster were made before the 2007-08 campaign as Toronto sought to reproduce the same form as the previous campaign.
Most notably, the Toronto Raptors acquired Carlos Delfino in a trade with Detroit for two second round draft picks, and signed Jamario Moon and three-point specialist Jason Kapono as free agents. On the other hand, veteran swingman Morris Peterson joined the New Orleans Hornets.
Despite being defending division champions, the Raptors were widely tipped as outside contenders for the division and conference titles. Bargnani's inability to play well consistently, coupled with injuries to Garbajosa (75 games), Bosh (15 games) and Ford (31 games) derailed the possibility of a smooth campaign as the Raptors chalked up six fewer wins than the previous season. The Toronto Raptors ceded the division title to Boston, and qualified for the 2008 NBA Playoffs as the sixth seed where they were pitted against the Orlando Magic, but were eliminated in five games.

Whereas the preceding season was considered a success, the 2007-08 campaign was considered a disappointment. Weaknesses in Toronto's game - rebounding, defence, and a lack of a swingman - were brought to sharp focus during the playoffs, and speculation was rife that big changes would be made to the roster.
As it turned out, a blockbuster trade was agreed in principle before the 2008-09 campaign: six-time All-Star Jermaine O'Neal was acquired from the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Ford (who had become expendable with the emergence of Calderón), Rasho Nesterovi?, Maceo Baston, and Roy Hibbert, the 17th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, giving the Raptors a potential boost in the frontcourt.Meanwhile, Bargnani, who had spent the summer working on his interior game, was projected to come off the bench.
The Raptors also introduced a black alternate road jersey for the season. The jersey has a Canadian flavour with a maple leaf featured on the back neck of the jersey, symbolizing the Raptors as "Canada's team".
