Welcome to our Off-season Basketball Funhouse! The draft is over and some interesting rumours have started to swirl.

RAPTORS: The team has drafted a big in Christian Koloko! How we feeling about Masai and Bobby straying from the 6'9" method? There's a rumour going around about a possible Scottie Barnes/Kevin Durant trade. If it brings us into contender status again, should the team go for it?

Happy Pride! On this week’s edition of Buckets & Tea, Cathryn is joined by good friends of the show Kris Myers and Matt McCready to discuss:

• A Nick Nurse Hottie Highlight too juicy to leave til the end! Cathryn and Kris break down Nick’s special appearance with Prince’s former band The New Power Generation at the Toronto Jazz Festival, including a bombshell about Nick’s guitar playing, a beautiful moment between Kris and Nick, and Cathryn finally meeting Nick in person!
• An eventful NBA Draft, including the Raptors’ selection of Christian Koloko, some under-the-radar Rookie of the Year prospects, and how to improve the boring televised draft coverage.

In our Raptors Homer Moment, we discuss Koloko and undrafted free agent Ron Harper Jr., as well as the potential of last year’s less prominent rookies Justin Champagnie and Dalano Banton. 

Finally, in a second Nick Nurse Hottie Highlight of the Week, Cathryn submits her proposal for the Nick Nurse Happy/Angry Calendar for charity and provides some inadvertent branded content for Staples.

It's our season 09 finale! Thanks to all of you who have been listening to us this year, rating us and commenting. We're gonna continue on through the summer with our off-season episodes and season 10 will debut in October!

RAPTORS: The draft is on Thursday the 23rd. We take a look at the Raptors' past drafts and what made them memorable. Vince Carter used to have a summer charity basketball game at the ACC and it was a scene. Which current Raptor should have a summer event and what would it be?

NBA: Lots of legacy talk for the Warriors and rightfully so: they won it all! What non-Warrior team or player that didn't win it all has had their legacy effected the most from not winning a ring this year? We've had three finals in a row with completely different teams (Heat vs Lakers, Suns vs Bucks & Celtics vs Warriors). If this pattern continues, which two new teams will be playing in the 2023 NBA Finals?

Special guests from the Raptors Republic multiverse: The man they call Mac from Runnin' Off The Screen and Cathryn Naiker from Buckets and Tea!
