Tampa already has a reigning Super Bowl champion and a Stanley Cup champion. They nearly won the MLB World Series as well.
"Florida has been really welcoming to us and we're so grateful for the hospitality we've found in Tampa and at Amalie [Arena] -- we're living in a city of champions, and we intend to carry on the tradition of winning for our new friends and fans here," Raptors president Masai Ujiri said in a statement Thursday.
The Raptors boast a 12-13 record overall this season, including a 6-5 mark 'at home' in Tampa.
Toronto have made the playoffs in seven straight seasons and won the 2018-19 title when since-departed Kawhi Leonard was the star and guided the club past the Golden State Warriors in six games.
The Raptors odds of winning the 2021 NBA Championship were set at 50-1.
