Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

The Detroit Pistons were one of the stories of the league last season, but can they avoid the same fate as a similar Toronto Raptors team from recent memory? In Episode 1937, Sean Woodley is joined by Ku Khahil (Locked On Pistons) to talk about how the Pistons and Raptors stack up in the wide open middle pack in the Eastern Conference. Off the top, they chat about how what factors in addition to Cade Cunningham's leap made the Pistons so much better than expected last year, and whether they'll be able to replicate that success. Is there any way to replicate the historic shooting season Malik Beasley just had? Next, they chat about whether there's any risk of the Pistons following a similar path as the 2021-22 Raptors, who were a surprise darling team only to regress extremely the following season. Lastly, they try and size up where each of the Raptors and Pistons might land in the Eastern Conference's middle class of teams. Discord: https://discord.gg/BE8fbHmGSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYTee up that trip!

The Toronto Raptors traded away the Indiana Pacers' 1st-rounder in 2026 in the Brandon Ingram trade -- could that pick end up being a golden ticket, or are the Pacers gonna be too good even without Tyrese Haliburton? In Episode 1936, Sean Woodley chats with Tony East (Locked On Pacers) to kick off a week-long look at some of the Raptors' closest competitors in the middle of the Eastern Conference with a chat about the Pacers and whether losing their best player to an Achilles tear will doom Indy to the lottery, or if they've got a little more juice than that still. They get into what to expect from Pascal Siakam in a leading role once again, whether Andrew Nembhard could take a big leap with more on-ball responsibility, why the term "gap year" is a silly way to describe the year ahead for Indy, and whether the Raptors or Pacers will finish higher in the Eastern Conference standings this season. Discord: https://discord.gg/BE8fbHmGSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYTee up that trip!

Will the Toronto Raptors honour Masai Ujiri with a statue to commemorate his contributions to the franchise? And if so, when will it go up, what will it depict and where should it stand? In Episode 1935, Sean Woodley goes solo to close out the pod's offseason with a mega mailbag show! Sean fields questions about statues, whether Malik Monk still makes sense as a potential Raptors target, the best jersey designs in Raptors history, go-to diner breakfast orders, cheapening Toronto Raptors in-arena concessions, Pascal Siakam's 2022-23 season, the disconnect between what sports are supposed to be about and the creep of late-stage capitalism, how Sean met his regular podcast contributors Katie Heindl and Vivek Jacob, and oh so much more! Discord: https://discord.gg/BE8fbHmGSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

The Toronto Raptors finally stand a chance of playing a normal, entertaining basketball season for the first time in years! In Episode 1934, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings) lay out the guide for Toronto Raptors fans to enjoy this coming season, sort through how to navigate the confluence of high internal expectations and extremely low expectations nationally, and pinpoint the things they're most excited to watch unfold with the team this season. Simply watching Brandon Ingram play basketball promises to bring a whole lot of enjoyment on its own! Plus, the Raptors' youth will get a chance to adapt to defined roles in a way they couldn't last year, which should lead to one of the most enjoyable things you can experience as a fan: internal growth playing out in real time. On top of that, Raptors fans will for the first time in a while get a chance to watch a normal regular season unfold over the course of six months, free from the suspended state of purgatory that tanking brings about. All that, plus some thoughts on the Kawhi Leonard bombshell from Pablo Torre and whether it changes their view on Kawhi's departure from Toronto at all. Discord: https://discord.gg/BE8fbHmGSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

The Toronto Raptors could stand to benefit from all kinds of player development arcs this season, but which ones would be the most helpful? In Episode 1933, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob to play a classic Locked On Raptors Stupid Little Game: What's More Likely?! Off the top, Sean and Vivek discuss whether they'd rather see Gradey Dick become a league-average defender OR see Brandon Ingram launch 7 threes a game in his first full year with Toronto. Next, they chat about whether they'd rather see Jamal Shead shoot 37% from three, OR Jonathan Mogbo shoot 65% from two-point range. Lastly, they discuss whether they'd rather see Sandro Mamukelashvili become the 15-20 minute a night full-time backup center for the Raptors OR Ochai Agbaji take the starting two guard spot from RJ Barrett. Discord: https://discord.gg/BE8fbHmGListener SurveyWe’ve put together a survey to learn more about our listeners and make your favorite podcasts even better. Go tohttps://lockedonpodcasts.com/survey/ to get started.

The Toronto Raptors crop of rookies in 2024 was one of the feel-good stories of the season last year, but can Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead, Jamison Battle and Jonathan Mogbo hang as the team looks to be more competitive this season? In Episode 1932, Sean Woodley goes solo to outline what's at stake for each of Toronto's soon-to-be-sophomores, and what they each need to refine to cement themselves as part of the Raptors' long-term vision. Off the top, Sean runs through the heavy competition each of last year's rookies is going to face for minutes at their respective positions. Next, Sean gets into why Walter, while probably the most secure in his position in the team's long-term plans, is going to have to refine his promising offensive package if he's going to eek out minutes at a loaded shooting guard position. Plus, does Jamison Battle need to do anything except bang triples to keep getting minutes? Maybe not! Plus, can Jamal Shead overcome his suspect three-point shooting enough to let his passing and defense shine? And is there any hope for Jonathan Mogbo on the offensive end? For both second-round picks, this year brings sneaky high stakes. Discord: https://discord.gg/jtY4jk3MListener SurveyWe’ve put together a survey to learn more about our listeners and make your favorite podcasts even better. Go tohttps://lockedonpodcasts.com/survey/ to get started.

How many wins would the Toronto Raptors need to win to qualify this coming season as a success as the team looks to move out of its rebuild? In Episode 1931, Sean Woodley goes solo to field a bunch of mailbag questions from you, the listeners! Off the top, Sean digs into what it would take for the Raptors to turn this coming season into a success, and why it might not be totally down the raw win total. Next, Sean talks about what we might look back on five years from now and pinpoint as potential downfalls of this era of Toronto Raptors basketball. Plus, what exactly is Immanuel Quickley and how will he get to showcase himself this year? Lastly, Sean digs into some silly questions about Love Island Reunions done Raptors style, best Tim Horton's locations, pocket condiments and more. Discord: https://discord.gg/jtY4jk3MListener SurveyWe’ve put together a survey to learn more about our listeners and make your favorite podcasts even better. Go tohttps://lockedonpodcasts.com/survey/ to get started.

Toronto Raptors third-year guard Gradey Dick has a lot to gain from a good season in 2025-26, and plenty to lose as well. In Episode 1930, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob chat about their lasting impression of Dick's up and down second year in the NBA last season, why the first half of his year is probably more telling of his true ability than his injury-addled struggle in the back half and the hurdles he needs to clear in order to put himself in line for a big payday next summer when he becomes eligible for a contract extension. Can he figure out his troubles with finishing at the rim? Can he ever become a neutral defender in the NBA? Are there guys behind him on the Raptors pecking order like Ja'Kobe Walter or Ochai Agbaji who could in theory pass him in the Raptors' rotation hierarchy? Or does he stand a chance of supplanting of of the starters when crunch time comes around late in games this season? Discord: https://discord.gg/jtY4jk3MListener SurveyWe’ve put together a survey to learn more about our listeners and make your favorite podcasts even better. Go to https://lockedonpodcasts.com/survey/ to get started.

The Toronto Raptors have reportedly made RJ Barrett's camp aware that he could be involved in trade discussions head into the new NBA season -- is it the right call for the team to explore trading the local-born fan favourite? In Episode 1929, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl chat about Jake Fischer's latest reporting on Toronto's buying intentions and why RJ Barrett is the logical odd man out if the Raptors are looking to swing a deal to upgrade the roster. Plus, they bring back an old favourite segment on the show: SUMMER VACATION WATCH! Are the Raptors good at vacationing? Is Immanuel Quickley's Paris trip the team's high watermark for offseason leisure? What's the deal with Gradey Dick and his SUV in rural Kansas? Plus, how the Raps have fallen off in the vacation game since winning the title in 2019, and the Canadian locales they would recommend each of the Raptors check out as they go Elbows Up upon coming back to Canada for the new season. Discord: https://discord.gg/jtY4jk3MSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

The Toronto Raptors have a higher ceiling than most national media types seem to think is possible, but there's absolutely some disaster potential here as well. In Episode 1928, Sean Woodley and James Herbert (CBS Sports) talk about the ceiling, floor and median outcomes for the wild card Raptors going into the 2025-26 NBA season. Off the top, Sean and James chat about how if Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley all adapt their games to fit with one another, there is absolutely room for the Toronto Raptors to be a playoff team in the wide open Eastern Conference. Plus, are Brandon Ingram and/or Scottie Barnes capable of being ceiling-raisers? Next, Sean and James run through the disaster outcome, where the team is a disjointed mess, but ultimately too talented to truly tank to the bottom of the East in a year that makes the contracts on the books look even less favourable than they look right now. Lastly, Sean and James make their best guess as to what will actually happen with the team. Is a finish between 6th and 8th in the East where some stuff goes well, and the next moves for the team make themselves more clear than they are right now on the table? Discord: https://discord.gg/CAK3mCCjSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

The Toronto Raptors aren't the first team you'd think of when it comes to major awards contenders this coming NBA season -- but that doesn't mean we can't talk some award winning into existence! In Episode 1927, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7) play a classic Stupid Little Game and draft their best longshot awards bets for Toronto Raptors players going into the 2025-26 season. Is Scottie Barnes a shoe-in for an All-Star nod? All-Defense? Will Brandon Ingram throw his name in the ring for any major awards in his first full year in Toronto? Can Gradey Dick makes his way into the Sixth Man conversation? Immanuel Quickley for Most Improved? And will any members of the Raptors contend for the league-wide crown in any major counting stats?

The Toronto Raptors announced on Monday that Bobby Webster will remain as the team's General Manager and will head up basketball operations as the team will not be hiring a new Team President after all. In Episode 1926, Sean Woodley digs into the strange run of decision-making up top that very much makes it clear that Keith Pelley, Ed Rogers and the Rogers suits have fully assumed control of the franchise, why it's more encouraging that they've chosen Webster to run the show going forward than it would have been in if they hired Dwane Casey or Marc Eversley, and why it feels like a strange middle-ground decision that further underscores that the Masai Ujiri firing wasn't entirely (or at all) basketball motivated. Sean also gets into why the stability of keeping Webster around is good news for the team going into this season, and why it's reasonable to feel optimistic about where the team is heading under his leadership, even if there is a run of not-so-good decision-making in the front office's recent past. Lastly, Sean looks for kernels of optimism as Rogers continues to consume our lives even more by the day, and looks to the recent run of Toronto Blue Jays competitiveness as a major reason to believe that Rogers, even if for cynical reasons, is going to invest in the team being successful. Discord: https://discord.gg/CAK3mCCjSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

He's not the best player on the Toronto Raptors, but there's a strong case to be made that Immanuel Quickley is the most important player to the Toronto Raptors' success this coming year. In Episode 1924, Sean Woodley and Es Baraheni (The Athletic NBA Daily, Raptors Republic, CEBL) to talk about Quickley's importance to the Raptors and why he's in line to have a very good season if he can stay healthy. They chat about why Quickley's unique skillset on the Raptors' roster is essential to the team playing functional basketball, the strides he made in an abbreviated first full season as the team's lead guard, the playmaking steps he's taken and what he still needs to improve, and why his off-ball play figures to be a much more potent weapon this coming year than it was given room to be last year. Lastly, Sean and Es chat about Quickley, Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram's on-court connection, how IQ can help the team's two best players, and how they can unlock him even more. Discord: https://discord.gg/CAK3mCCjSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

The Toronto Raptors have a shot to be pretty good in 2025-26, but it could also go pretty poorly! In Episode 1922, Sean Woodley is joined by the villainous Matt Moore (HP Basketball, Locked On NBA, Locked On Nuggets) to talk about why he doesn't see the Raptors winning more than 37 games this upcoming season, the potential flaws in any statistical projection of a team that hasn't actually played together yet, his lack of belief in Brandon Ingram being an elevating for the Toronto Raptors, the perception of the Raptors being hurt because they haven't taken a traditional path to building their current roster, and how Toronto stacks up next to the Bulls, Heat, Zombie Celtics, Pacers and Hornets, and why Matt is wrong about everything! Discord: https://discord.gg/RJdtKzygSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYTime to fuel up and turn it up with 5-hour ENERGY®️ Transfusion!

Chris Boucher, the longest serving Toronto Raptors and last remaining member of the 2019 Championship team, is a Boston Celtic. In Episode 1921, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl reunite to talk about Boucher's lasting legacy as a long-time purveyor of energy, dunks and good vibes off the Raptors bench, whether him going to the dastardly Celtics changes how he'll be viewed in Toronto long term, why he might be one of the last beloved bench guys of his kind in an NBA that encourages back-of-roster churn more each and every year, and some of their favourite moments from Boucher's seven seasons in Toronto. Plus, they discuss whether any Raptors in history have had a weirder jump shot than Boucher, and which ex-Raptors are in line to have the most reputation-shifting seasons in new locales this coming year. Discord: https://discord.gg/RJdtKzygSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYTime to fuel up and turn it up with 5-hour ENERGY®️ Transfusion!

The strength of the Toronto Raptors in 2025-26 seems likely to be their ability to mix and match starters with bench guys throughout 48 minutes -- can it be a recipe for success? In Episode 1920, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob play a Stupid Little Game where they attempt to build out 5-man starter-plus-bench lineups that stand a chance of winning their minutes this coming season within a strict budget. Can Scottie Barnes find success sharing the floor with Brandon Ingram and bench pieces in a way Barnes plus four reserves didn't work last season? Will Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl be a dependable backbone for Raptors' bench looks? Does RJ Barrett have a chance of succeeded running offense against lesser opponents after struggling to run the show against starters last year?

A healthy Brandon Ingram should transform the way the Toronto Raptors play offense, and the case for optimism in the 2025-26 Toronto Raptors isn't all that hard to outline as a result. In Episode 1919, Sean Woodley is joined by Michael Pina (The Ringer) to talk about the impact a healthy Brandon Ingram can have on the floor for the Raptors despite his damaged reputation around the league, how his skillset will ease the burden on Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, the upside for the Raptors' offensive and defensive units this year, why some youthful bench contributions could have an outsized impact on the team's quality, and how the Raptors stack up in the busted Eastern Conference. Off the top, Sean and Michael get into why Michael views Ingram more favourably than most national media folks, and why the quality of his ability as a player has gotten clouded by a rough run of circumstances. Next, they dive into the impact Ingram will have on Quickley, Barnes and Barrett, all of whom figure to have their games simplified by Ingram's arrival. Plus, can the Raptors' defense sustain its late-season success? How will the likes of Gradey Dick, Collin Murray-Boyles, Ochai Agbaji and Ja'Kobe Walter help round out the rotation? And what would be the highest the Raptors finish within the East that would outright shock Michael? Discord: https://discord.gg/DKju8VVCSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYTime to fuel up and turn it up with 5-hour ENERGY®️ Transfusion! Go to https://5hourenergy.com today and use my promo code LOCKEDONGOLF to receive 20% off your order.
