The Toronto Raptors take on the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night in perhaps their most important game with regards to the tank standings of the season. In Episode 1833, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob chat about the Raptors' tilt with the Nets, and whether it means anything that the Raptors have been playing RJ Barrett on nights (like tonight) that Jakob Poeltl and Immanuel Quickley are both sitting; does it tell us anything about how the franchise views Barrett? Next, they get into the summer time conundrum the Raptors are set to face regarding Barrett, who's on-court impact metrics paint him as the most likely Raptors core piece to get moved this summer. But should the Raptors just keep him and, perhaps, even pay the luxury tax to do so? Lastly, Sean and Vivek address the recent discourse about the inconveniences of playing in Canada, raised by Thad Young, Lou Williams and Rudy Gay on various play-hosted podcast this week. Do we care at all? (Sean doesn't.)
