Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors have an important summer ahead, and there are some things they absolutely need to prioritize! In Episode 2120, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob each run through their personal lists of what they think should be the top areas of focus for the Raptors this summer. Off the top, they chat about Sean's burning desire to see the Raptors steer clear of the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes and other similarly stupid moves that could upend the Scottie Barnes era, while Vivek digs into why this summer needs to be about aggressively trying to find players who around Scottie Barnes. Next, Sean talks about the team's dire need for guards, while Big V digs into the need to target rebounding acument. Lastly, Sean talks about why keeping Sandro Mamukelashvili needs to be another item of importance for the front office, and why trading Gradey Dick probably falls under that umbrella. Plus, Vivek talks about the team's need to use internal development to increase the Raptors' three-point shooting juice.

Could Kentucky's Jayden Quaintance, UNC's Henri Veesaar or Houston's Chris Cenac Jr. be the Toronto Raptors' big man of the future? In Episode 2119, Sean Woodley goes solo to run through his first impression scouting reports on three big man who all come with questions along with some tantalizing tools. Off the top, Sean digs into Quaintance, one of the most physically impressive prospects in this entire class with a ton of defensive upside, but assuming he can stay healthy, does he have enough going for him offensively to be a viable big minute NBA player? Next, Sean talks about Veesaar, who's got a lot of offensive pop for a seven-footer, but does he have enough to offer on the other end of the floor to be on the floor in playoff games at the next level? Lastly, Sean talks about the polarizing Chris Cenac Jr., who is raw, inconsistent, and a little too jumper happy, but has some interesting traits that could translate really nicely to playing alongside Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles in a theoretical Raptors front court.

The Toronto Raptors are Scottie Barnes' team, and the playoffs confirmed that. How close are they to assembling the ideal supporting cast around him? In Episode 2118, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl talk about whether the Toronto Raptors are close to having an optimal starting five around Scottie Barnes, and which adjustments or upgrades need to be made in order for them to get there. Next, they do a little offseason wishcasting and talk about guys around the league today who would be tailor made Barnes running mates, including some wistfulness regarding NBA Finals participant and former Barnes teammates OG Anunoby. Lastly, they look back at Raptors players of the past and kick around which former Raps would look darn good next to Scottie were they transported to today, including Terrence Ross, and of course, Marc Gasol, who was basically designed in a lab to play killer defense and do sick interior passes next to Barnes.

The NBA's Coach of the Year voting result dropped on Wednesday and Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajaković only received one third-place vote for the award. In Episode 2117, Sean Woodley talks about why Darko didn't need the votes to validate the job he did in his third season on the sidelines for the Raptors, and why he proved to be as adept a playoff coach as he was a regular season coach in the series against the Cavs. Next, Sean continues his chat with Trill Bro Dude of You Know Ball from Tuesday with a look at whether or not the Raptors should do all it takes to hang onto Sando Mamukelashvili as he most likely opts out and becomes a free agent this summer. Plus, some more draft talk with Trill!

The Toronto Raptors have plenty of roads they could walk this summer, but should they be aggressively looking for upgrades on the trade market to carve out a spot among the East's elite? In Episode 2116, Sean Woodley is joined by Trill Bro Dude (You Know Ball) to talk about why the Raptors' strong playoff showing should have them looking to be aggressive on the trade market this summer in attempt to capitalize on an Eastern Conference that while deep in solid teams, has a bit of a vacuum to be filled in the upper echelon. Would a play for Kyrie Irving or an all-in push for Jamal Murray make sense for Toronto to pursue? Lastly, they talk about the NBA Draft and why the late teens/early 20s range of this draft should provide a ton of interesting options for the teams picking there, like the Raptors and Trill's beloved Sixers, and kick around their thoughts on guard prospects Bennett Stirtz, Labaron Philon Jr. and Ebuka Okorie.

Scottie Barnes was named to the NBA's All-Defense Second Team and didn't make the cut for an All-NBA spot -- which is kind of egregious all things considered! In Episode 2115, Sean Woodley gets a little indignant about Barnes getting left off the All-D First Team in favor of Derrick White and Ausar Thompson, both of whom have less compelling cases. Next, Sean talks about why Barnes being left off the All-NBA teams is a little bit more defensible, even if he has a very good case to have made the Third Team over someone like Chet Holmgren. Lastly, Sean runs through the 15 guys who did make All-NBA and picks out which of those guys he'd be taking Scottie over for the 2026-27 season -- and it's kind of a lot of them!

As the Toronto Raptors head into a pivotal offseason, trade possibilities are abound -- could Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving or Myles Turner be potential targets for GM Bobby Webster? In Episode 2114, Sean Woodley and Joe Wolfond set the stage for the Raptors as they head into transaction season and outline what they have to offer in trade talks, which needs they should most be looking to address, and whether the postseason has at all informed what upgrades the team needs to prioritize going forward. Next, they play everyone's favourite Stupid Little Game: Duck the Tax / A Hat Full of Guys where Sean pulls names of possible trade targets, including Durant, Irving, Myles Turner and Jamal Murray, and he and Joe each get 90 seconds to talk about each guy before the almight Duck Alarm brings their time on the mic to an end. Enjoy!

Collin Murray-Boyles was voted as a Second Team All-Rookie honoree to cap off a brilliant first season with the Toronto Raptors -- but long term, he's clearly no lower than fifth if we're ranking the quality of this season's rookie crop, right? In Episode 2113, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl react to news of CMB making an All-Rookie team, reflect upon just how abnormal his immediate impact was compared to most first year players, and discuss why he's absolutely going no lower than 5th-overall in a redraft of the stacked 2025 NBA Draft behind only Dylan Harper, Cooper Flagg, VJ Edgecombe and Kon Knueppel. Next, they dig into some mailbag questions about where CMB will slot in on the all-time list of Raptors who made an All-Rookie team when his career is over, how much they factor in chemistry as they imagine offseason roster moves, how the Thunder and Spurs owning the West for the foreseeable future might affect how teams like the Raptors approach team building, Jason Kidd getting canned by Masai Ujiri, and in another edition of Sean & Katie's Food Corner, they discuss the merits of waffle cones vs. sugar cones.

If the Toronto Raptors are lucky enough to see Alabama guard Labaron Philon slip to them at 19, it'd be the absolute dream Draft night outcome for the team. In Episode 2112, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk through his first impressions of a trio of NBA Draft prospects: Philon, his Crimson Tide teammate Amari Allen, and Iowa State playmaking forward Joshua Jefferson, who is very much Sean's type of guy. Off the top, Sean talks about why the glut of guards in the mid to late lottery could lead to a guy like Philon slipping down the board in a league that's moving away from smaller guards more and more by the year, and why he'd be the perfect type of creative guard with off-ball ability to pair with Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles going forward. Next, Sean talks about Philon's Alabama teammate Amari Allen, who while he's got some questions around his rim finishing and defensive versatility, plays a very Darko Ball friendly style of hoop. Lastly, Sean talks about Joshua Jefferson, who at 6'8 with incredible passing feel and a track record of simply being good at basketball in spite of being on the older end of the prospect spectrum, was built in a lab for Sean to like irrationally.

The Toronto Raptors surpassed expectations by taking the Eastern Conference finalist Cleveland Cavaliers to seven games in the first round of the playoffs -- but do they need to avoid overreacting to it? In Episode 2111, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob play a Stupid Little Game called The Over-Index Index, breaking down the ways in which the Raptors front office could in theory overreact to what we saw in the playoffs throughout this offseason, and how damaging said overreactions could be. They talk about Scottie Barnes showing out and looking like The Dude in round one and why the Raptors can't fall into the trap of thinking he can do what he did on both ends of the floor sustainably over the course of a full season. Next, they talk about the team following up a season of struggling against good opponents by hanging close with the Cavs in the games that matter most, and whether there's a way the front office could over-index on that small sample. Plus, could an overreaction to RJ Barrett's playoffs lead to him landing a lucrative contract extension? And in the other direction, is there a risk of the Raptors reacting too strongly to Brandon Ingram's brutal postseason showing?
