Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1616, Sean Woodley goes solo to run down the three biggest offseason questions facing the Toronto Raptors and their front office heading into a pivotal summer for the franchise. Off the top, Sean digs into the question of whether the Raptors will keep their pick at 6th-overall or higher after Draft Lottery night or convey it to the San Antonio Spurs if it falls 7th or later, and all of the ripple effects lotto night could have on the Raptors' subsequent offseason moves. Next, Sean chats about the question of whether or not Gary Trent Jr. and/or Bruce Brown will be back with the team and the various options the Raptors have with Trent, a pending UFA, and Brown, who has a team option that guarantees for next season on June 29th. Lastly, Sean chats about whether this summer could see the always opportunistic Raptors take a swing on a star trade should one -- specifically on the wing -- become available.

In Episode 1615, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about the Toronto Raptors' season coming to an end over the weekend, and their biggest takeaways from the end-of-season availabilities for Kelly Olynyk, Jakob Poeltl, Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick. Off the top, they chat about the overarching takeaway from every player's comments: Darko Rajakovic is absolutely beloved by all the players in the organization, and has absolutely nailed the number one task assigned to him when he took over as he has vastly overhauled the culture. Next, Sean and Vivek discuss Scottie Barnes' comments on leadership, and remark upon how far he seems to have come as the Raptors' leading man since this time 12 months ago. Lastly, they chat about the offseason that lies ahead, turning the page from 18 months of less-than-stellar decision-making, and improved overall vibes to round out the show.

In Episode 1614, Sean Woodley is joined by Joseph Casciaro (The Score, Pound the Rock) to revisit their preseason bold predictions about the Toronto Raptors made the day the 2023-24 season began to check in on just how right or wrong they were. Off the top, they chat about Sean's prediction that the Raptors would be the league's leading transition frequency team -- which they were! -- as well as Cash's prediction that Scottie Barnes would win Most Improved Player. Next, they dig into Sean's proclamation that if Pascal Siakam was traded, it would be to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Chris Paul, Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis (whoops), as well as Joe picking Dennis Schroder to finish the season with more assists per game than Fred VanVleet. Lastly, Sean eats a gigantic bowl of crow after reviewing his prediction that Gradey Dick and Jalen McDaniels would be the Raptors' best on/off-driving two-man lineup, while Joe accepts his culpability for picking the Raptors to finish 3rd in the Atlantic Division. Look man, it was a tough season for everyone around the Raptors. Even the prognosticators.

In Episode 1613, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to talk about the Toronto Raptors falling 106-102 to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night in a game that featured more exciting flashes from Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick, and not a whole much else worth noting from the Raptors end of things. Off the top, they chat about Quickley's 32-7-9 effort that saw him nearly power the Raptors to a win with some late-game shot making, and discuss how the version of Quickley we've seen over the last month and a half will blend with Scottie Barnes once the team is healthy again next season. Next, Sean and Jamar chat about Gradey Dick pouring in 24 points on 6/14 from three, and what might happen next season to help his overall impact metrics fall more in line with the promising eye test evaluation we've seen from Dick in his rookie season. Lastly, they run through The Good (Ochai Agbaji bodying Dennis Schroder, the overall bench vibes), The Bad (at-rim shooting, going 1-15 against the Atlantic Division) and The Hmmmm (will we see a full Raps lineup again this year?, the inability of any Raptors fringe big to hit a two this season) to round out the show.

In Episode 1612, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) chat about the Toronto Raptors falling 140-123 to Pascal Siakam and the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night in the Raptors' final home game of the season. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about Javon Freeman-Liberty's career-high 20 points, the craft he plays with on offense, and why he remains the fringe guy getting late season run who is most likely to be a part of the big club next season. In fact, he could be the best Raptors G-League success story of the last 5 years. Next, Sean and Katie spend some time doing some Veteran Appreciation for Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown, who have been two of the more constant faces on the team over the tumultuous last month and a half, and both figure to be rock solid rotation players for the team next season, assuming Brown is kept around through the summer, which might just be their best course of action with him. Lastly, they run through The Good (JFL, Malik Williams' first NBA points), The Bad (Ochai Agbaji, on both ends) and The Hmmmm (the Pacers' playoff outlook, the decision to rest Immanuel Quickley in the final home game in game where a win would have helped the Raptors' secure a higher draft pick from the Pacers) to round out the show.

In Episode 1611, Sean Woodley goes solo to look back on three memorable games from a mostly dreary Toronto Raptors season that help tell the tell of what went wrong this season and what could go right once the team hits the ground running in 2024-25. Off the top, Sean digs into the Raptors' spanking of the Milwaukee Bucks on November 1st, in which the Dennis Schroder-led starting five demolished the Bucks in transition and turned in one of the few strong defensive efforts that group turned out in two-plus months playing together. Next, Sean discusses the January 7th beatdown of the Golden State Warriors on the road that featured a very early RJ Barrett "holy crap" game and plenty of flashes that the Scottie Barnes-Pascal Siakam-RJ Barreett-Immanuel Quickley-Jakob Poeltl starting lineup might have had The Juice, only for Jak's ankle injury sustained in the game to derail any possiblity of those guys getting time to play together. Lastly, Sean takes a look at the Febuary 26th win over the Indiana Pacers, otherwise known as the Pizza Party game, which is the single best encapsulation of the reasons for optimism as the Raptors head into next season.

In Episode 1610, Sean Woodley goes solo to react uproariously to the Toronto Raptors winning two-straight games over the weekend, first against the Milwaukee Bucks to snap a 15-game losing skid, and then against the lowly Washington Wizards, all the while Immanuel Quickley was freaking awesome. Off the top, Sean digs into Quickley being the standout of the weekend as he continues to show he's not just a scoring guard, but is very much a lead guard  who stands a chance of being one of the best guards in he entire Eastern Conference. Next, Sean chats about Gary Trent Jr.'s outstanding weekend and why he's making case that the best course for the Raptors this offseason is to keep GTJ around as opposed to going and splurging in a so-so free agent market. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (free-throw shooting!!!), The Bad (the bench guys) and The Hmmmm (the Vince Carter themed dunking Raptor logo that should ABSOLUTELY be the team's main logo going into next season) to close out the show.

In Episode 1609, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about Toronto Raptors icon Vince Carter getting the call to the Basketball Hall-of-Fame and his substantial legacy in Toronto and Canadian basketball history. Off the top, they discuss their reactions to the announcment, his importance to the history of the Raptors, and how their feelings on his departure from Toronto have evolved over the time. Next, they dig into the question of whether or not, in line with his HoF induction and the 30th anniversary of the Raptors, Carter should become the first Raptor to get his number to retired some time during the 2024-25 season. Lastly, they answer a couple listener questions about Carter's status as the greatest dunker of all time, and some of the stand-out game from his career that newer fans should prioritize watching to get a grasp of Carter's immmense impact at his peak.

In Episode 1608, Sean Woodley goes off on the Toronto Raptors' suffering their worst loss in franchise history, a 133-85 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves with a depleted 8-man roster to push the Raptors' losing streak to 15 games, a result for which the seeds were planted all the way back at the start of the Raptors when the team's front office opted to waste the first half of its season with indirection and uncertainty. Off the top, Sean chats about how things did not have to be this way for the Raptors, and why even though the losses of Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl may have been unavoidable and out of the front office's control, so many things could have been done to avoid those players going out being the death knell for any kind of competitiveness for the Raptors this season. It's a joke! Next, Sean chats about some of the stand-out performances against the Wolves, both good and bad. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (the comedy of Malachi Flynn scoring 50 points on Wednesday night), The Bad (30 different players suiting up for the Raptors) and The Hmmmm (Vince Carter going to the Hall-of-Fame and what it means for his potential jersey retirement) to round out the show.

In Episode 1607, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to break down the Toronto Raptors' 128-111 loss to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers which featured dazzling returns to the lineup by RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about how nice it was to have Quickley and Barrett's dynamism back in the lineup, how they should help the Raptors pick up at least a win or two down the stretch to avoid a 21-game losing streak to end the season, and how those two guys are key reasons why next season should mark a significant step forward for the Raptors. Next, they chat about the vibes of the team not at all matching the 14-game losing streak and overall dourness of the season, with Darko Rajakovic' coaching staff and vets like Garrett Temple deserving a ton of credit for keeping the mood light and positive despite all of the bad stuff that's gone on this season. Lastly, they run through The Good (Barrett & IQ, Barrett's enormous second half dunk), The Bad (The Raptors squandering what felt like a winnable game, the lack of ideas on defense) and The Hmmmm (Mo-G as a nickname for Mouhamdou Gueye, Gradey Dick's propensity for getting to the rim) to round out the show.
