In Episode 810, Sean is joined by Vivek and Katie to answer a bunch of your listener questions! Things kick off with an in-depth discussion on tooth-brushing, before they dive in your questions. Segment two sees Katie and Sean answer questions about what Nick Nurse's future EP would be called, which genre it would cover, and which former Raptors may feature on it, as well as the viability of Christian Wood as a Raptors off-season target. Next, they discuss what strange household items various Raptors may have in their homes, and the former Raptors who went on to the best careers after their time in Toronto.

In Episode 809, Sean goes solo to discuss the Vincent Goodwill report at Yahoo! suggesting that Louisville, Kentucky is being considered as a temporary home for the Raptors in the 2020-21 season. Sean kicks things off by reviewing the report, and shooting down the many half-assed arguments in favour of Louisville as the Raptors' home for next season which are all meant as cover for the real reason: the NBA wants to test the market for expansion. Sean then throws out an alternate site for the Raptors to play, which makes entirely too much sense. Lastly, he addresses the elephant in the room with all of this: free agency, and how the uncertainty surrounding the Raptors' home site in 2020-21 may affect their chances at signing outside free agent as well as keeping their own.

In Episode 808, Sean goes solo to address the departure of assistant coach Nate Bjorkgren to Indiana's top job before reviewing the seasons of Toronto's end of bench pieces. First up, Sean talks about what Bjorkgren may bring to the Pacers, what as what his departure might mean for the Raptors, and why his hiring is more of a positive for the Raptors than it is a substantial loss. Next, Sean talks about the team's three most intriguing back-bench pieces and how they could fit into the mix next season in Paul Watson Jr., Oshae Brissett and Dewan Hernandez. Lastly, Sean talks about Patrick McCaw, Malcolm Miller and Stanley Johnson, all of whom are unlikely to contribute much to next year's team, even if at least McCaw and Johnson are almost sure to return.

In Episode 807, Sean chats with Ashley Docking (an airwave near you) about Serge Ibaka's 2019-20 season and his uncertain future with free agency approaching. They kick things off by discussing Ibaka's growth into a perfect platoon centre who had, at the very least, the best offensive year of his career this past season, while also being just about the most likeable player in the world off the court. Next, they discuss Ibaka's free agency and the outcomes that seem most likely, from a big one-year deal with Toronto to a potential mid-level-ish contract for a few years with a contender. Lastly, they answer a listener question that asks which How Hungry Are You? meals they'd eat in their entirety to ensure a Serge return.

In Episode 806, Sean and Vivek Jacob chat about the season that was for Raptors head coach Nick Nurse and and address a handful of listener questions about Nurse. They open up by discussing the elements of Nurse's coaching style they enjoy most, from his intensity to his trend-setting on the defensive end. Next they address some questions about Nurse and the things he potentially would like to take back from the Boston series, before diving into questions regarding the two things Nurse is known most for: his fashion, and his music.

In Episode 805, Sean and Katie Heindl dive deep into the Raptors new lineup of jerseys and determine whether or not they are, in fact, good. Sean is very excited, especially about the new black uniform that he's pretty sure is the best jersey the Raps have ever conceived. Katie is a little more tentative to buy all the way in, as The Chevron™ makes its way into the limelight as the team's core design tenet. They then dive into the emotions and spirit each jersey looks likely to imbue into the Raptors when they wear them. To close things out, they chat about the two jerseys that have yet to be released by the team. Sean probably cares too much about jerseys.

In Episode 803, Sean and Chris Manning (Locked On Cavs) finish up their chat about the Eastern Conference landscape as the off-season finally looms. In part two of their chat they rip through a bunch of actually good teams after leaving most of the East's dregs behind on Friday. Today they cover the Bucks, Sixers, Celtics and Heat, with look-ins at the Knicks, Magic and of course, Chris' beloved Cavs. Is Andre Drummond good? Have the Bucks already steered away from the two moves that would make them instant title favourites? Will Aaron Gordon ever be traded? We discuss all that and more!

In Episode 802, Sean takes a break from the player review series to chat with Chris Manning (Locked On Cavs) for one of their classic rips through the Eastern Conference. In part one of two, Sean and Chris take turns picking teams in the East's ranks to riff on, including the Hawks, Raptors, Nets, Hornets, Pistons, Wizards and more. Sean is very much not a Hawks believer. The Nets are going to be high comedy while also probably being frustratingly good once they figure out who they're trading, and the Pistons, Hornets and Wizards, well, they're mostly just very sad. They also discuss the Bulls, who may have the inside track at the eighth seed if you ask Sean and Chris. The rest of the conference awaits next week!

In Episode 801, Sean and Katie Heindl continue the 2019-20 player review series with a look at OG Anunoby's third season as a pro before turning an eye to what looks like a very bright future. They kick things off by discussing Anunoby's notable improvement in, uh, just about every area in year three after his sophomore season was disrupted by a depleted role, injury, and personal tragedy. Next, they dream a little bit, and imagine what Anunoby might be capable of as the Raptors further experiment and test the limits of his versatility next year. Lastly, they wrap up by taking some rapid fire questions on OG's reverse dunks, how 2018-19 could have gone if he were healthy, and what fashion trends he's sure to set next year.
