We also discuss the issues at FC Barcelona and where they go from here, along with a comparison to the current situation at Liverpool in the EPL.

On this episode we discuss Giannis' supermax deal with the Milwaukee Bucks and what it means for the Raptors and the rest of the Eastern Conference. We also talk about the 2-0 start for the Raptors in the preseason and if it means anything (it doesn't). We top it all off with breaking down Malachi Flynn's early success and why the Raptors are so good at developing talent, despite their late picks.

The crew is back to talk about Raptor's off season, Roger's Centre & TFC Manager Greg Vanney.
