Will Lou and Alex Wong welcome Blake Murphy into the “Raptors Show” universe full-time and discuss their upcoming plans for the season before onboarding Blake with a “Raptors Show” quiz. They discuss the latest rumours surrounding Dame Lillard (31:00) and whether the Raptors make sense as a potential trade partner before diving into a myriad of NBA topics including how Nick Nurse plans on using Joel Embiid this season, Jamal Murray not bringing the Larry O’Brien trophy to Kitchener, and Hakeem Olajuwon’s $50k workout. Finally, Will and Alex (1:20:00) wrap up their summer-long Lord of the Rings conversation, discuss their sports media journey, and look forward to year three of the show.
