Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

RJ Barrett's extension eligibility is one of the biggest outstanding loose ends of the Toronto Raptors offseason so far; should the Raptors look to extend him going into the final year of his contract? In Episode 2161, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about RJ's extension situation and why it's anything but simple for the Raptors. Next, Sean gets into the latest on the Kawhi Leonard front, which is mostly just that the Raptors and Clippers have hilariously scheduled a preseason game with one another that could be extremely awkward if the NBA's investigation into the Clippers and Kawhi doesn't wrap by then. Lastly, Sean fields a listener question about the importance of the the Barrett-Quickley-Poeltl trio and what would constitute a successful year for each of them.

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, and it makes the top of the Eastern Conference that much more interesting for the Toronto Raptors to navigate. In Episode 2159, Sean Woodley goes solo to take stock of the stacked East in the wake of LeBron's decision to join the Sixers, talks about why the Cavs and Heat missing out on LeBron probably leaves them on the outside of the contender tier, and why the Sixers are gonna be a wagon on offense despite some early concern trolling about there only being one ball or whatever. Next, Sean answers a mailbag question about which teams in the Eastern Conference are definitively better than the Raptors with Kawhi Leonard, and why that list is probably exactly one team long. Lastly, Sean talks about the Atlantic Division being totally loaded, what the Raptors can do if Kawhi doesn't end up on the Raptors, and whether the Raptors will still be Scottie Barnes' team with Kawhi in the fold.

The Kawhi Leonard trade could certainly make the Toronto Raptors contenders in the East. There are undeniable risks, though, and Vivek Jacob is joined by Joe Wolfond for a Raptors in 7 where they discuss the potential downsides of acquiring Leonard.

First, they discuss the importance of Leonard's vocal leadership after not doing much of that in 2019 or during his time with the Clippers. Second, the health factor can't be ignored as Leonard played less than 60 percent of the regular season for the Clippers entering the 2025-26 season where he played 65.

Kawhi Leonard is still not officially a member of the Toronto Raptors, and out state of limbo persists! In Episode 2153, Sean Woodley and Joe Wolfond chat about their states of mind regarding the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Kawhi and whether or not he'll be joining the Raptors for next season, why they still feel like Kawhi should and will avoid the kind of punishment that would cause the proposed trade with the Clippers to fall apart, and whether they're growing any more concerned by the day that the reunion with Leonard will eventually be called off. Next, they chat about Allen Graves showing out in Summer League and why he should probably just be in the Raptors' rotation from day one before checking in on the Raptors' guard situation and discussing whether Kawhi's arrival on the team would render some of their ongoing concerns about the position a little less dire.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver addressed the ongoing Kawhi Leonard / Aspiration investigation and didn't offer much hope for a super speedy conclusion to the Toronto Raptors' present state of limbo. In Episode 2152, Sean Woodley and Samson Folk (Raptors Republic) settle the score on a months-old bet before talking about the latest from Silver about the expected timeline of the investigation, the impossibility of covering this story on a daily basis without going a little bit insane, and why they're still operating under the assumption that Kawhi will eventually be a Toronto Raptor once again. Next, they talk about the gap between Brandon Ingram and Kawhi as players and where their differences as players will show up the most for the Raptors on the court, before digging into the Kawhi-Scottie connection and the way they'll each help cover for the other's deficiencies. Plus, some parting thoughts on the delightfully effective Allen Graves.
