Traffic leading to the three prior Uber pickup locations 1) Zone A, previously located on Wood Street & Washington Blvd. near Lot A, 2) Zone D, previously located on Monroe Street & S.

He watch all of Drake documentary, interviews and reads all of his commentaries. This playlist is all Drake and the artist he signed. He even make me sit down and watch Drake life stories. He has all of his family, friends and girlfriend listening to Drake! He ware Drake clothing line “OVO” and has his family and friends wearing OVO too! Drake to your biggest fan ever Keldrick Mumphrey he a great young man and a wonderful son! Love mom

Report as inappropriate

Tickets were very expensive. This was one of the most I have ever paid for a concert ticket, need to make it affordable for his fans. His stage presence was brilliant and loved how much he relates himself to the UK and a personal bond with Birmingham. He did lots of his lesser successful songs which was disappointing, songs like crew love which lots of his fans LOVE came on for 10 seconds then he switched into another one. Just felt it lacked real good performances of his better known and his best songs.

Drake puts on a great show, honestly a great performer who is very talented.

However, if you’re really going to tour with migos, and they don’t show up to do their opening set, there really should be some kind of refund. I came to the show expecting to see migos and then drake and then when migos didn’t show up I went into Drakes set disappointed about missing migos. Sure two of them came out and did 2 songs but really not enough. Instead of touring with these unreliable guys, tour by yourself, I would have no problem paying exactly what I paid for just Drake.

Just a Few of the Biggest Concert Tours of 2024, from Olivia Rodrigo to Bad Bunny

Posted: April 11, 2024 | Last updated: April 11, 2024

Listening to your favorite musician at home is fun, but there's nothing quite like the experience of singing along with them, and tons of more fans, live. And as luck would have it, 2024 is shaping up to be a massive year for some of the world's top musical acts, so chances are your favorite performer might be stopping at a city near you soon.

Ahead, we rounded up some of the biggest concert tours of 2024, ranging from Taylor Swift's mega-popular Eras Tour to Drake and J. Cole's exciting It's All A Blur Tour - Big as the What?—set to kick off this winter. You can also expect tour dates from classic icons like Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and more.

1) Taylor Swift

Undoubtedly one of the biggest concert tours ever, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour will continue right through 2024. The international leg of the tour kicked off in Japan, where she played four shows in Tokyo. She'll also stop in Melbourne, Singapore, Paris, Madrid, London, Milan, and more before returning to the States to play in the fall.

There's nothing like seeing T. Swift IRL, but don't fret if you're unable to nab tickets—the Eras Tour movie is now available to stream from the comfort of your home.

2) Olivia Rodrigo

This is not a drill—"Drivers License" singer Olivia Rodrigo will be hitting the road on tour starting at the end of February. The Guts World Tour runs from February through mid-August and has dates in Nashville, Toronto, Chicago, and New York City, among others. Even cooler? Rodrigo will have a stacked list of special guests—like PinkPantheress, Remi Wolf, The Breeders, and Chappell Roan—with her.

3) Red Hot Chili Peppers

Did you hear the good news? The Red Hot Chili Peppers have extended their global tour through summer 2024. The buzzy stadium tour, which kicked off in June 2022, will now run until July 2024 and bring the California-based band to places like Los Angeles, Tampa, Toronto, and Salt Lake City.

4) Bad Bunny

It's fitting that "Monaco" rapper Bad Bunny titled his tour Most Wanted —it's slated to be one of the year's hottest tours. Planned to help promote his latest studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana , Most Wanted will kick off in Salt Lake City on February 21 and run through May 26.

5) Billy Joel

If you haven't yet seen Billy Joel perform live, there's still time! The Piano Man has added more tour dates to his schedule, stopping in cities like Tampa, New York, Denver, and St. Louis this year. Even more exciting? He'll share the stage with fellow iconic performers Sting and Stevie Nicks for some of these dates.

Mitski recently announced that she's expanding her North American tour dates , and we couldn't be more excited. The months-long tour, which supports her 2023 studio album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, has a long list of stops, including Miami Beach, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Paris.

There's nothing quite like a Madonna concert, that's for sure. The singer's Celebration Tour , which started last October, continues straight through the spring with dates in Seattle, San Francisco, Mexico City, and more. Besides her eye-catching sets, chart-topping songs, and impressive choreography, concertgoers also get a glimpse of the performer's fantastic costumes, which include looks from Versace and Jean Paul Gaultier.

8) Bleachers

The New Jersey-founded rock band, which is fronted by Jack Antonoff—known for producing albums for top acts like Taylor Swift, Lorde, and Lana Del Rey—not only has announced a new album but a new tour , too. The tour will start in the UK in March, ending fittingly in the band's home state of New Jersey in mid-June. Check out their newly released music video for "Tiny Moves" if you need a Bleachers fix in the meantime.

9) Nicki Minaj

Nicki fans rejoice: the rapper and singer might be coming to a city near you soon as part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. The massive tour will include performances in Brooklyn, Oakland, and Baltimore, with stops at Dreamville Festival and Rolling Loud California along the way.

10) Blink 182

Live out all of your nineties and early aughts pop-punk dreams with one of Blink 182's One More Time Tour dates. The tour, which supports the band's ninth studio album, One More Time..., will bring the trio to cities all over the globe, including Sydney, Santiago, Portland, and Boston. The tour's supporting act is Pierce the Veil, which is also worth checking out.

11) Stevie Nicks

The oh-so-magical Stevie Nicks continues her touring streak with a bunch of 2024 concert dates . Set to begin in Atlantic City, NJ on February 10, Nicks will visit a dozen cities throughout the U.S. this year, such as New Orleans, Omaha, and Chicago. "Let's keep this party going in 2024," the singer-songwriter posted on her Instagram in September to announce the newly added tour dates.

12) The 1975

The 1975 is showing no signs of slowing down. The British band, famous for hits like "Somebody Else" and "Robbers," has extended their 2023 tour through 2024. Titled Still...At Their Very Best , the 22-date tour will open in Glasgow on February 8 and conclude in Amsterdam on March 24.

13) Drake and J. Cole

Rap greats Drake and J. Cole come together for the It's All a Blur Tour – Big As the What? which is guaranteed to be a good time. Drake, fresh off his 2023 It's All a Blur tour with 21 Savage, is set to hit dozens of cities starting in February, many of which J. Cole will also be in tow for. Scoop up tickets ASAP, as Drake's shows are known to sell out.

14) Janet Jackson

Superstar Janet Jackson is also extending her 2023 tour, Together Again , into 2024 with dates in Anaheim, Austin, New Orleans, and Hartford. Even cooler? Jackson's supporting act is the 2000s southern rap legend Nelly.

15) Rolling Stones

If you've ever dreamed of seeing the Rolling Stones perform live in person, now's your chance. The iconic rockers, who released their studio album Hackney Diamonds this past fall, are returning on the road for a 16-date tour with shows throughout the United States and Canada. Concertgoers can expect a mix of new tunes and Stones classics.

16) Bruce Springsteen

Famous for countless listenable hits like "Born to Run" and "Glory Days," Bruce Springsteen is set to embark on a massive world tour this year with his band, The E Street Band. The much-anticipated tour will take the Boss and his crew to cities such as Phoenix, San Diego, Dublin, and Madrid, from March through November.

17) John Mayer

Be sure to catch John Mayer's solo tour this year, which will bring the guitarist and crooner to cities throughout Europe. This leg, an extension of his popular 2023 solo tour, will kick off in Stockholm on March 13 and finish in Dublin on March 29.

18) Shania Twain

Okay, this one is technically a residency , but we're excited nonetheless. Shania Twain, most known for her incredible outfits (her hooded leopard print look, anyone?) and hits like "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" is setting up shop in Vegas starting May 10. Twain's residency will take place at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood on and off throughout December 2024.

All good things must come to an end. The Eagles, known for "Hotel California" and other amazing rock songs, began their final concert tour this winter. It launched in Phoenix on January 20, with March 16 as its last date in the United States. Eagles fans won't want to miss this one.

20) Alanis Morisette: The Triple Moon Tour

Alanis Morisette joins forces with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts for their 2024 Triple Moon Tour , which has dates in North America and Canada. This tour is a great one to catch this summer, as it's slated to run from June through August.

The Post’s Ryan Dunleavy gives his top 10 quarterbacks in this year’s NFL draft, based on evaluations and conversations with people around the league:

1. Caleb Williams , USC, 6-1, 214 pounds

A “franchise-changer” with the off-script, varied arm-angle playmaking reminiscent of Patrick Mahomes. Excellent decision-maker and quick trigger on RPOs.

Looks for chunk gains, not checkdowns.

Unbeaten when USC defense allowed fewer than 34 points. Fumbled 33 times.

Not a cookie-cutter quarterback personality.

2. Jayden Daniels , LSU, 6-4, 210 pounds

Threw 34 touchdowns and zero interceptions on 15-plus yard passes during 2023 Heisman Trophy-winning season.

Showed the pre- and post-snap command of a five-year starter. Slippery runner but slight frame prompts durability concerns.

Is he close to his ceiling?

Cue Lamar Jackson comparisons.

3. Drake Maye , North Carolina, 6-4, 223 pounds

Prototypical size — and sounds the part, too. Compared to Justin Herbert for arm talent.

Took a step back in 2023, but was it because of his own flaws or a weaker supporting cast?

Takes too many sacks given scrambling ability.

Boom-or-bust element.

4. J.J. McCarthy , Michigan, 6-2, 219 pounds

Polarizing prospect because he wasn’t asked to do more than be efficient as national champs racked up blowouts.

Scouts love a “winner,” but was he the reason?

Fit throws into tight windows, but his game is about being sound, poised, smart and on-time.

5. Michael Penix Jr., Washington, 6-2, 216 pounds

Four season-ending injuries (two ACLs, both shoulders) before back-to-back electric seasons.

Will he hold up physically?

Pocket passer who makes the deep throw look easy but misses too many gimmes.

His three-quarter arm angle isn’t for everyone. Radiates intensity and nerves of steel.

6. Bo Nix, Oregon, 6-2, 214 pounds

NCAA-record 61 career quarterback starts and top six in passing yards and total touchdowns.

Four-time captain and Campbell Trophy (academic Heisman) winner. Highly accurate rhythm passer.

Shows toughness after taking a licking.

Oregon’s offense relies on catch-and-release throws, so he rarely goes through reads.

7. Spencer Rattler, South Carolina, 6-0, 211 pounds

Former betting favorite to be No. 1 overall pick in 2022 draft.

Transferred from Oklahoma, where he had immature reputation, after losing starting job to Caleb Williams.

Inconsistent flashes of brilliance. Throws with anticipation.

Toes the line between aggressive and reckless.

8. Joe Milton III, Tennessee, 6-5, 235 pounds

Did you see him dropping 70-yard floaters at the NFL combine?

Or clocking a quarterback-best 62 mph fastball? If only his accuracy were as impressive.

Rare athlete but only completed 38 percent of 10-plus-yard throws in 2023, per Pro Football Focus.

9. Devin Leary, Kentucky, 6-1, 215 pounds

Numbers on the decline since 35-touchdown, five-interception season at North Carolina State in 2021. Big arm but also an ability to layer throws. Sells a play-action fake. Suffered two season-ending injuries (shoulder, leg). Will be 25-year-old rookie.

10. Jordan Travis, Florida State, 6-1, 200 pounds

Reportedly will be fully cleared by OTAs after breaking his leg in November. Escapability is his key to staying calm under pressure and ball security (two turnovers in 2023). Ball arrives too late sometimes — as if he doesn’t trust his eyes.

Class superlatives

J.J. McCarthy, Michigan: Could go as high as No. 2 overall — with a consensus floor of No. 6.

Best games were two of his final three and he has wowed in pre-draft interview settings.

Former coach Jim Harbaugh is his biggest cheerleader.

Falling fast

Bo Nix, Oregon: First-round grades are being “forced” off great intangibles, one scout said.

So many games, so few examples of him staring down pocket pressure and allowing plays to develop.

If not to Sean Payton’s Broncos at No. 12, could face a Will Levis-like drop.

Small-school wonder

Michael Pratt, Tulane, 6-2, 217: Four-year starter with 90 touchdowns passing and 28 more rushing.

Smart distributor who rarely puts the ball in harm’s way but doesn’t rack up big plays.

Good arm strength to the sidelines. Delivery can get too long.

WEATHER ALERT

7 warnings in effect for 8 counties in the area

Drake dropped from astroworld lawsuit, but judge denies travis scott’s and apple inc. request to be dismissed.

Ninfa Saavedra , Digital Content Specialist

HOUSTON – The Harris County judge overseeing the Astroworld civil litigation has denied requests by Apple, Travis Scott , and two of his companies to be removed as defendants.

On April 8 and 10, Judge Kristen Hawkins responded to motions for dismissal filed by multiple individuals and companies named as defendants in some of the lawsuits that followed the deadly Astroworld tragedy in 2021 by issuing a series of judgments earlier this week.

The orders were issued in anticipation of a trial scheduled to commence in May, which aims to seek compensation for the death of one of the 10 individuals who lost their lives in the tragic crowd crush incident.

Last week , KPRC 2 reported that Travis Scott, along with Apple, Live Nation, and rapper Drake all requested to be dismissed from the lawsuits, claiming that they did not contribute to the planning or have control over the security or safety measures during the event.

• Houston Police Department’s report on Astroworld Festival highlights terror from concertgoers

Apple Inc., in its March 11 filing, denied involvement in the concert’s planning, stating its role was “limited to Travis Scott’s performance, which was just one of many during the two-day event.” Apple criticized the plaintiffs’ “lack of evidence” to support their claim that the concert constituted a joint venture between the tech company and Scott. Apple also addressed a claim made by ASM that one of its livestream cameras may have obstructed the audience area, further reducing available space. Lawyers stated that Apple was contracted to livestream the concert on Nov. 2, 2021, three days before the show.

• DOCUMENTARY: ‘Astroworld: Countdown to Tragedy’

In Travis Scott’s filing , his attorneys claimed, “Performers are not expected to render special protection to the audience, nor to safeguard them from the rest of the crowd.” His attorneys further argue Scott was a performer and not responsible for crowd safety and management.

BravoCon Skips 2024, Sets Las Vegas Dates for Next Year

Bravo officially confirmed on Wednesday the much-rumored news that its popular fan convention,  BravoCon , will be skipping this year, but will return to Las Vegas in 2025. The network announced BravoCon’s future dates — Nov. 14-16, 2025 — and that the convention will once again be at the massive event space Caesars Forum. In 2023, BravoCon moved to Las Vegas, having outgrown its New York City venues.

That part of the announcement advances what Frances Berwick, the chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment, told Variety during an interview at last year’s BravoCon , about wanting to plan smaller events throughout the year to capitalize on Bravo fans’ ardor. “We initially did this as a marketing endeavor, but we’re trying to run it as a business,” Berwick said in November.

Skipping a year means that the shows will be refreshed, and the programming for the convention won’t be just be a repeat of 2023’s BravoCon. According to the announcement, last year’s convention was attended by 27,000 fans who came to see more than 160 cast members across the Bravo universe. And those tickets didn’t come cheap: They’d paid up to $1,200, along with other add-ons for VIP experiences. The tickets for BravoCon 2023 sold out immediately.

Along with its panels and nighttime events, Bravo made a number of announcements during last year’s convention, such as premiere dates, cast changes and show renewals. And Tom Sandoval was booed every time he spoke during the “Vanderpump Rules” panel, which fans who’ve watched Season 11 probably feel good about.

“Receipts! Proof! Timeline! Jackpot! BravoCon is returning to Las Vegas in 2025,” followed by a montage of Bravolebs at the 2023 convention.

NFL Draft Top Prospect Drake Maye Visiting Washington Commanders Next Week: Details

The Washington Commanders will have two of the top quarterbacks in the draft in their building next week.

• Author: Nathaniel Marrero

In this story:

UNC quarterback Drake Maye will be in the Washington Commanders' building next week.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Maye will be visiting the Commanders next Tuesday and Wednesday. Maye's pre-draft visit will come on the heels of Washington hosting LSU quarterback and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels on Monday and Tuesday .

Maye and Daniels are the two quarterbacks who have been connected the most to Washington. Daniels remains the betting favorite by DraftKings (-165) and FanDuel (-155), though, Maye isn't too far behind with +145 and +135 odds, respectively.

Maye has become one of the more polarizing quarterback prospects throughout the draft process. While some have him as the No. 1 quarterback, others aren't as high on him. NFL analyst Merril Hoge said Maye is the type of quarterback who could get a coaching staff fired if he's drafted in the top five, while former Commanders quarterback and ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III thinks the UNC quarterback is more than capable of becoming a franchise quarterback with the right coaching.

Washington will have to do its own digging, but drafting Maye may come down to how much it trusts its coaching staff to develop him into a quarterback who can reach his full potential. If general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn have any doubts, that could be what pushes them to take Daniels over Maye. But if they believe in Maye's upside and are willing to be patient, the Commanders may finally solve their woes at the game's most important position with the 6-foot-4, 223-pound quarterback.

With the draft just 15 days away, there's a very real possibility Daniels and Maye's visits could play a huge role in who Washington tabs as its quarterback of the future to kickstart the Peters and Quinn era.

Revisiting preseason Raptors predictions: The correct, false and mysterious

The Toronto Raptors essentially had three different teams this year. In that sense, that I got any of my preseason predictions correct is astounding. You have to praise me like you should .

Seriously: There were a few nights in March when Gradey Dick , who the Raptors drafted in late June, was the longest-serving member of the organization available to play in a game. They often appeared to be more a roster-building project than a team. Even if you thought the Raptors were likely going to trade several veterans this year, things unfolded unpredictably.

Yet I continue to make predictions, because people like reading them and I like feeling dumb. Or I’m addicted to being wrong. Something to unpack with my therapist, I guess.

With that said, let’s review the 15 increasingly bold predictions I made before the season started.

(Numbers in parentheses represent where these ranked in order of boldness. The higher the number, the bolder I considered the prediction.)

Objectively correct

Gradey Dick will be in and out of rotation (2).

People didn’t want to hear it, but most rookies in this range are not consistent rotation pieces right away. Of the players picked between 11th and 20th, four guys played real minutes for the entire season, which is high: Dereck Lively II , Keyonte George , Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Brandin Podziemski . Cam Whitmore was close, but barely played in the season’s first quarter.

Dick came on strong in the second half of the season, shooting 47 percent from the corners, improving as an individual defender and playing the most minutes of any Raptor after the All-Star break, at least heading into Wednesday’s game versus Brooklyn (almost by default, but still). It was a nice progression, but he was essentially a non-entity with the Raptors before the Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby trades.

The Raptors will have a bottom-10 offence in points per possession (5).

The Raptors entered the Nets game with an offensive rating of 112.0, 24th in the league, and will finish in the bottom 10 barring an offensive explosion set off by some unlikely sources. In hindsight, I’m not sure why I considered four things more likely to happen than this.

They are in that spot despite having the second-highest assist percentage. They had the 13th-ranked offensive rating despite the fifth-lowest assist percentage last year. Obviously, passing is bad.

Scottie Barnes will break the franchise record for most triple-doubles in a season (13).

Barnes snuck in his record-breaking fourth triple-double, surpassing Kyle Lowry ’s 2017-18 mark, on Feb. 26 against the Indiana Pacers . That ended up being his antepenultimate game of the season, as he broke a bone in his hand four days later in a game against Golden State .

Appreciate it, Scottie.

The Raptors will trade O.G. Anunoby before the trade deadline (14).

I guessed the return for Anunoby would be “two lightly protected first-round picks and a rotation-level prospect.” That actually ended up being closer to the return for Pascal Siakam, once you factor in the corresponding trade with Utah that got the Raptors Ochai Agbaji and subtracted one of the three picks the Raptors got for the two-time All- NBA player, than for Anunoby. Instead, the Raptors got two rotation-level players, both of whom will be starters for the Raptors for a long while, but just one second-round pick, albeit a good one.

Whatever. I was right.

Spiritually correct, factually wrong

The Raptors will have no All-Stars or All-NBA players (8).

I am not trying to get Barnes’ All-Star berth taken away from him or anything, but he was an injury replacement. No Raptor will sniff an All-NBA spot. In fact, awards season will be quiet all around for the team.

Unless there are some major additions to the Eastern Conference, I will not be making this prediction again next year.

The Raptors’ highest-usage player will have the lowest percentage among his peers across the league (12).

If you put in a games-played minimum, Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton had a usage percentage of 23.9, the highest for any season-long Indiana Pacer, which is the lowest number for anybody who led his team. If you take a reasonable minimum away, however, Siakam’s 25.2 is higher than any Raptor — Siakam himself in Toronto (24.8), RJ Barrett (24.8) and Barnes (24). Also, Haliburton’s usage percentage before the Siakam trade was 25.4.

That logic is perfect. You cannot say the Raptors did not share the ball in Darko Rajaković’s first year.

Markquis Nowell will finish top-3 in assists per game in the G League (15).

Over 22 games, Nowell averaged 8.5 assists with Raptors 905. Injuries kept him sidelined for most of the season, so he didn’t qualify for the leaderboard.

However . He led the G League Showcase portion of the season with 10.2 assists per game in nine outings, and he recorded 19 assists in his final three games of the season in which he played 53 total minutes because of his hamstring injury.

Given how obscure this prediction was, I am taking the W.

Objectively wrong

The Knicks’ lawsuit against the Raptors will be settled out of court (1).

Do not take this as a positive or negative, but simply a strongly held belief: This would have been squashed long ago if David Stern were commissioner. There might never have been a lawsuit in the first place.

Anyway, keep those filings coming , teams. They’re very entertaining.

The Raptors will finish in the 9-10 range of the Play-In Tournament — again (4) and Pascal Siakam will not sign a contract extension during the season (but will re-sign with the Raptors in the offseason) (9).

I went against my gut here, and I shouldn’t have done that. Something was telling me — the dropoff at point guard, among other things — that this could be a bad season for the Raptors. However, the protections on the pick the Raptors owe the San Antonio Spurs made it difficult to read what the team would do this season, so I ended up waffling, happy to hang around in the average-outcome territory.

I was very wrong, and a lot of that came because I did not think the Raptors would trade Siakam with so little negotiating leverage. It wasn’t a huge sample or anything, but a healthy Raptors team with Siakam, Barnes, Barrett, Poeltl and Immanuel Quickley would have competed for a Play-In spot. That would have been a dangerous move, given Siakam’s free agency, and the Raptors made the right decision, making me incorrect in the process.

Javon Freeman-Liberty will be this year’s Jeff Dowtin Jr. (in a good way) (6).

With three games left, Freeman-Liberty has already played more minutes with the Raptors than Dowtin did last season. Unlike Dowtin, he got his two-way contract turned into a main roster deal during the season. He finished third in the G League in scoring in the regular season. If I were feeling generous, I’d give this to myself, or at least put it in the category above.

The reality, though, is that most of Freeman-Liberty’s Raptors minutes were the result of the deluge of injuries and absences since March 1. He played just four minutes through Feb. 29. He had some nice moments in the final stretch of the year, but he did not cement a future role or become a crowd favourite or anything. He still might be an NBA player, but I cannot call this a correct prediction.

The Raptors will have a top-10 defence (7).

The following are the Raptors league-wide ranking in defensive rating for three periods of the year:

• From the start of the season until Dec. 29, the day before Anunoby was traded: 16th. • From Dec. 30 until Feb. 29, the day before Barnes got injured: 30th. • From March 1 through the moment of this writing: 29th.

You will notice that at no point were the Raptors a top-10 defence. I will only point out that the Raptors had a defensive rating of 114.2 in the 1,319 minutes Poeltl played, and check in at 118.7 the rest of the time. That is essentially the difference between having the 14th-best and 28th-best defence.

Jakob Poeltl will be in more than the odd trade rumour (10).

Poeltl’s name got mentioned as a theoretical answer to some size-starved team’s needs at the trade deadline, but all of those were hypothetical. If Poeltl was legitimately in trade discussions, I did not hear about it, nor have any of the league’s news-breakers notably reported on it.

Poeltl will turn 29 before the start of next season, making him an imperfect age fit with Barnes, Quickley and Barrett. However, his defensive skill set is necessary for this team to be competent, and the Raptors do not have a prospective replacement for him. That could change in the draft or free agency, but it is not likely.

Poeltl helps secure the team’s floor, which might be a great reason to trade him at next year’s deadline if his value is high.

The Raptors and Gary Trent Jr. will agree to a contract extension (11).

Trent had such a weird year. He has played the best defence of the season lately, and is shooting just shy of 40 percent from 3. Yet, it felt like he was lost for the first two-thirds of the season.

As I’ve written already, trying to understand what his market will be like as an unrestricted free agent this offseason is extremely difficult.

Honestly, not sure

A song from Drake’s new album “For All The Dogs” will be involved in the Raptors’ pregame introductions at Scotiabank Arena (3).

I have not listened to the album nor did I ever pay attention to this during games at Scotiabank Arena. Those are not brags — just facts.
