Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 999, Sean reacts to the news that Masai Ujiri and Khem Birch are both returning to Toronto before chatting with Locked On Heat's David Ramil about the two guys likely headed to Toronto in the Kyle Lowry sign-and-trade. Off the top, Sean digs into the unsurprising but still relieving news that the Raptors will still be fronted by Ujiri, who received a promotion to Vice Chairman in addition to keeping his Team President title. Then, Sean reacts to the Khem Birch signing a 3-year / $20 million deal to stay with his favourite childhood team, and why the signing could hint at how the Raptors will approach the Dragic situation. Lastly, Sean and David talk about what makes Goran Dragic good, and where he differs from Kyle Lowry on and off the floor. As well, they talk about Achiuwa's unclear NBA utility in spite of very obvious physical tools.

Off the top, Sean talks about the very interesting mix of guys going to Summer League next week for Toronto, and some of the player combinations he's interested in checking out. Then, Nick Angstadt of Locked On Mavs stops by to talk about the ongoing Goran Dragic stalemate, why both sides seem to think they have the leverage in the negotiation, and also why Mavs fans should be heartbroken to not have landed Kyle Lowry. Lastly, Sean takes a mailbag question about the Raptors' defense and how good it could be next season.

In Episode 997, Sean goes solo to address the ongoing Goran Dragic limbo, and what the team could look like if they just kept him instead of shipping him to Dallas or elsewhere. Sean leads off by digging into the particulars of a potential Dragic deal to the Mavericks, and why the Raptors should push for Dwight Powell, Josh Green and Tyrell Terry to be the return. Then, Sean entertains the question -- what if they just kept Dragic? The team would actually probably really benefit from him is what! To wrap, Sean bids farewell to Aron Baynes, Deandre' Bembry, Rodney Hood and Paul Watson Jr., who have all been waived by the team since yesterday.

In Episode 996, Sean chats with Vivek Jacob (The literal Toronto Raptors) about the opening day of NBA Free Agency, during which Kyle Lowry left Toronto after nine amazing years to join the Heat, Gary Trent Jr. re-signed with the team for three years and $54 million, and Sam Dekker was brought back over from Europe, bringing with him a dubious reputation. There's a lot to unpack, and we'll be emptying these boxes for weeks. But this is hopefully a timely start.

In Episode 995, Sean is joined by Yasmin Duale (Dishes & Dimes, Yahoo Sports Canada) to chat about the Raptors' surprise selection of Scottie Barnes with the 4th-overall pick in the NBA Draft. They discuss their instant reactions to the selection, and Yasmin digs into why she's already fully on board, while Sean expresses a pensive belief that the Raptors made the right move, while still have some serious questions about what the selection means for the team's immediate future, and why he still thinks Jalen Suggs would have been the preferred pick. They chat about the development arc that Barnes will need to travel in order to make Toronto's risk worth it with such a high selection, as well as some of the really exciting, futuristic looks the team could run out with Barnes as early as next season. Lastly, they talk about what the pick could mean for the Raptors' free agency plans, and briefly chat about the team's second-rounders, Dalano Banton and David Johnson.

In Episode 993, Sean and William Lou try to lay out the ideal Raptors off-season on the eve of the NBA Draft. They start out by discussing the draft, and why Jalen Suggs feels not only like the correct pick for the Raptors if he's available at #4, but the extremely obvious one. Then, they sort through their Kyle Lowry-related feelings as his free-agency nears, discuss whether they'd like to see the Raptors push to bring him back or not, and why it may be best for all involved if this is the summer where Lowry goes off to chase titles elsewhere, as utterly depressing as that is. Lastly, Sean and Will run through the free agent big man market and try to determine who the Raptors should target between Jarrett Allen, John Collins and Richaun Holmes, before laying out the three player acquisitions they'd most like to see over the next couple weeks between the draft and free agency. Otto Porter Hive is alive.

Next, they dig into the report that Jarret Culver could be available for the price of a second-round pick, and update their thoughts on the ongoing Ben Simmons saga. Lastly, they dive into Pascal Siakam, the trade rumours, and why the Raptors may or may not look into moving him. (They shouldn't).

In Episode 990, Sean and PD Web (Let's Watch Film, Cerebro Sports) continue their conversation about the prospects potentially available to the Raptors with the fourth pick with a deep dive on USC center Evan Mobley. They start off with a discussion of the weaknesses in Mobley's game, which is a very brief tangent away from all the very good and exciting things Mobley brings to the table. The middle portion of the podcast is more or less Mobley-fueled ASMR, as PD dives into why he'd fit so well in Toronto, and the terrifying defense the Raptors could build around Mobley, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby. Lastly, Sean asks PD who the Raptors should reach for in the unlikely event they want to go way off-board with the 4th pick, which leads to a fun conversation about Auburn's Sharife Cooper. Enjoy the show!
