The 2010–11 Raptors warming up prior to a home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Air Canada Centre

The 2010–11 Toronto Raptors season is the 16th season of the Toronto Raptors in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The season began after a much anticipated off-season as All-Star Chris Bosh became a free agent. Bosh would eventually sign with the Miami Heat teaming up with fellow NBA Superstars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade causing the Raptors to start rebuilding. They finished with a 22-60 record missing the playoffs for a third-straight year.

Summary

Pre-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. Bosh and James eventually chose to converge in Miami with Wade, and the sign and trade transaction that ensued resulted in the Raptors receiving two first-round draft picks and a trade exception from Miami.[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 for Tyson Chandler, Boris Diaw, Leandro Barbosa and Dwayne Jones.[3] Barbosa was drafted by Colangelo when the latter was still with the Phoenix Suns, and Diaw played there during Colangelo's tenure too. However, the trade involving Chandler/Diaw/Evans/Calderón fell apart at the last minute when Chandler was traded to Dallas instead.[4] A sign-and-trade involving Orlando's Matt Barnes was also in the works, but ran into last-minute difficulties as well.[5] In the coaching department, P. J. Carlesimo joined the team of assistant coaches, while Marc Iavaroni left for the Los Angeles Clippers.[2]

Regular season

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.[6] On 24 November, in a game against Boston Celtics, Reggie Evans—then Toronto's leading and the league's third-leading rebounder—was injured and ruled out for eight weeks. Toronto's leading scorer, Andrea Bargnani, had a spell on the sidelines not long after. Leading up to the All-Star break, Toronto went on a 13-game losing streak. The Raptors concluded the regular season with just 22 wins, and did not qualify for the 2011 NBA Playoffs.
