Will the Toronto Raptors honour Masai Ujiri with a statue to commemorate his contributions to the franchise? And if so, when will it go up, what will it depict and where should it stand? In Episode 1935, Sean Woodley goes solo to close out the pod's offseason with a mega mailbag show! Sean fields questions about statues, whether Malik Monk still makes sense as a potential Raptors target, the best jersey designs in Raptors history, go-to diner breakfast orders, cheapening Toronto Raptors in-arena concessions, Pascal Siakam's 2022-23 season, the disconnect between what sports are supposed to be about and the creep of late-stage capitalism, how Sean met his regular podcast contributors Katie Heindl and Vivek Jacob, and oh so much more!

The Toronto Raptors finally stand a chance of playing a normal, entertaining basketball season for the first time in years! In Episode 1934, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings) lay out the guide for Toronto Raptors fans to enjoy this coming season, sort through how to navigate the confluence of high internal expectations and extremely low expectations nationally, and pinpoint the things they're most excited to watch unfold with the team this season. Simply watching Brandon Ingram play basketball promises to bring a whole lot of enjoyment on its own! Plus, the Raptors' youth will get a chance to adapt to defined roles in a way they couldn't last year, which should lead to one of the most enjoyable things you can experience as a fan: internal growth playing out in real time. On top of that, Raptors fans will for the first time in a while get a chance to watch a normal regular season unfold over the course of six months, free from the suspended state of purgatory that tanking brings about. All that, plus some thoughts on the Kawhi Leonard bombshell from Pablo Torre and whether it changes their view on Kawhi's departure from Toronto at all.

The Toronto Raptors could stand to benefit from all kinds of player development arcs this season, but which ones would be the most helpful? In Episode 1933, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob to play a classic Locked On Raptors Stupid Little Game: What's More Likely?! Off the top, Sean and Vivek discuss whether they'd rather see Gradey Dick become a league-average defender OR see Brandon Ingram launch 7 threes a game in his first full year with Toronto. Next, they chat about whether they'd rather see Jamal Shead shoot 37% from three, OR Jonathan Mogbo shoot 65% from two-point range. Lastly, they discuss whether they'd rather see Sandro Mamukelashvili become the 15-20 minute a night full-time backup center for the Raptors OR Ochai Agbaji take the starting two guard spot from RJ Barrett.

The Toronto Raptors crop of rookies in 2024 was one of the feel-good stories of the season last year, but can Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead, Jamison Battle and Jonathan Mogbo hang as the team looks to be more competitive this season? In Episode 1932, Sean Woodley goes solo to outline what's at stake for each of Toronto's soon-to-be-sophomores, and what they each need to refine to cement themselves as part of the Raptors' long-term vision. Off the top, Sean runs through the heavy competition each of last year's rookies is going to face for minutes at their respective positions. Next, Sean gets into why Walter, while probably the most secure in his position in the team's long-term plans, is going to have to refine his promising offensive package if he's going to eek out minutes at a loaded shooting guard position. Plus, does Jamison Battle need to do anything except bang triples to keep getting minutes? Maybe not! Plus, can Jamal Shead overcome his suspect three-point shooting enough to let his passing and defense shine? And is there any hope for Jonathan Mogbo on the offensive end? For both second-round picks, this year brings sneaky high stakes.

How many wins would the Toronto Raptors need to win to qualify this coming season as a success as the team looks to move out of its rebuild? In Episode 1931, Sean Woodley goes solo to field a bunch of mailbag questions from you, the listeners! Off the top, Sean digs into what it would take for the Raptors to turn this coming season into a success, and why it might not be totally down the raw win total. Next, Sean talks about what we might look back on five years from now and pinpoint as potential downfalls of this era of Toronto Raptors basketball. Plus, what exactly is Immanuel Quickley and how will he get to showcase himself this year? Lastly, Sean digs into some silly questions about Love Island Reunions done Raptors style, best Tim Horton's locations, pocket condiments and more.

Toronto Raptors third-year guard Gradey Dick has a lot to gain from a good season in 2025-26, and plenty to lose as well. In Episode 1930, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob chat about their lasting impression of Dick's up and down second year in the NBA last season, why the first half of his year is probably more telling of his true ability than his injury-addled struggle in the back half and the hurdles he needs to clear in order to put himself in line for a big payday next summer when he becomes eligible for a contract extension. Can he figure out his troubles with finishing at the rim? Can he ever become a neutral defender in the NBA? Are there guys behind him on the Raptors pecking order like Ja'Kobe Walter or Ochai Agbaji who could in theory pass him in the Raptors' rotation hierarchy? Or does he stand a chance of supplanting of of the starters when crunch time comes around late in games this season?

The Toronto Raptors have reportedly made RJ Barrett's camp aware that he could be involved in trade discussions head into the new NBA season -- is it the right call for the team to explore trading the local-born fan favourite? In Episode 1929, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl chat about Jake Fischer's latest reporting on Toronto's buying intentions and why RJ Barrett is the logical odd man out if the Raptors are looking to swing a deal to upgrade the roster. Plus, they bring back an old favourite segment on the show: SUMMER VACATION WATCH! Are the Raptors good at vacationing? Is Immanuel Quickley's Paris trip the team's high watermark for offseason leisure? What's the deal with Gradey Dick and his SUV in rural Kansas? Plus, how the Raps have fallen off in the vacation game since winning the title in 2019, and the Canadian locales they would recommend each of the Raptors check out as they go Elbows Up upon coming back to Canada for the new season.

The Toronto Raptors have a higher ceiling than most national media types seem to think is possible, but there's absolutely some disaster potential here as well. In Episode 1928, Sean Woodley and James Herbert (CBS Sports) talk about the ceiling, floor and median outcomes for the wild card Raptors going into the 2025-26 NBA season. Off the top, Sean and James chat about how if Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley all adapt their games to fit with one another, there is absolutely room for the Toronto Raptors to be a playoff team in the wide open Eastern Conference. Plus, are Brandon Ingram and/or Scottie Barnes capable of being ceiling-raisers? Next, Sean and James run through the disaster outcome, where the team is a disjointed mess, but ultimately too talented to truly tank to the bottom of the East in a year that makes the contracts on the books look even less favourable than they look right now. Lastly, Sean and James make their best guess as to what will actually happen with the team. Is a finish between 6th and 8th in the East where some stuff goes well, and the next moves for the team make themselves more clear than they are right now on the table?

The Toronto Raptors aren't the first team you'd think of when it comes to major awards contenders this coming NBA season -- but that doesn't mean we can't talk some award winning into existence! In Episode 1927, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7) play a classic Stupid Little Game and draft their best longshot awards bets for Toronto Raptors players going into the 2025-26 season. Is Scottie Barnes a shoe-in for an All-Star nod? All-Defense? Will Brandon Ingram throw his name in the ring for any major awards in his first full year in Toronto? Can Gradey Dick makes his way into the Sixth Man conversation? Immanuel Quickley for Most Improved? And will any members of the Raptors contend for the league-wide crown in any major counting stats? We get into all of it in the Longshot Awards Draft!
