KJ and Vural talk through a lively off-season - one which the Raptors' Front Office played very carefully.

We talk:

:: Malachi Flynn and Jalen Harris making the roster?

:: Can Len and Baynes really replace Gasol and Ibaka?

:: Who had the worst offseason in the NBA - and who had the best?

We promised off-season content, and we delivered.

Main talking points:

:: Masai should get rid of Gasol, re-sign Ibaka (no-brainer)

:: Toronto should be careful how much they pay FVV if they want a star in the 2021 off-season

:: Why Jrue Holiday is likely to be the biggest trade of the 2020 off-season

This should be the Raptors roster next season, per KJ:

BC:

Lowry, FVV, Powell, Thomas, T-Davis

FC:

Ibaka, Boucher, Siakam, OG, McCaw, Stanley

+ Picks 29 and 59 in the draft.

What. A. Series.

We do our typical dramatic recaps of Games 5 and 6 against the Boston Celtics before analysing a massive Game 7 for Toronto and Nick Nurse. It could be the last time we see these boys play together.

We also look at:

:: Why Miami Heat will be tougher to face for either Boston or Toronto than the Milwaukee Bucks

:: OG at the five - is the Raps' future small ball?

:: The importance of Rajon Rondo for the Lakers

2-0 down to Boston. Wow. But fear not - KJ and Vural are here to inject some optimism into all Toronto Raptors' fans.

We talk:

:: How Lowry and VanVleet going 3-19 from three, while Smart hits FIVE triples in the fourth, is just unnatural.

:: Siakam as a no.1 option.

:: Why Matty Thomas needs to get back into the rotation.

We were meant to be discussing the Toronto Raptors-Boston Celtics matchup - but instead, we look at the ramifications of a monumental night in the NBA.
