In Episode 2186, Sean Woodley answers mailbag questions from you, the listeners about mostly Kawhi Leonard. Off the top, Sean digs into how he envisions the five man unit of Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Kawhi Leonard, Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles will perform this season, gauges what Darko Rajakovic biggest sources of stress and relief will be as Kawhi joins the team, discusses what the next moves for the Raptors are now that the Leonard deal is officials, theorizes what might happen after Kawhi's next contract ends, digs into a question about Alex McKechnie and his management of Kawhi's health, and whether the now departed Gradey Dick has scared Bobby Webster off of drafting players with limited defensive tools forever.

After 76 long days, Kawhi Leonard is officially a member of the Toronto Raptors once again after Monday night's trade call with the Los Angeles Clippers. In Episode 2185, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob react to the end of this long summer of Kawhi limbo, discuss the Raptors joining the league's contender class, and dig into the intensely bizarre narrative turns of Kawhi's career. Next, they chat about whether the Raptors' should extend Kawhi for his full 2-year / $124 million max or play a little hardball, and whether it really matters one way or another. Lastly, they talk about what Kawhi stands to gain from a successful second stint with the Raptors. Can Kawhi, for example, put himself ahead of Kevin Durant on the all-time greats list with a good few years in Toronto?Discord: https://discord.gg/vpEdk6tu5Photo Credit: John E.

What are the best, worst and mostly likely outcomes for Jakob Poeltl in the 2026-27 Toronto Raptors season? In Episode 2183, Sean Woodley is joined by Joe Wolfond to talk about the much maligned Raptors starting center and the ways in which this coming season could go. Off the top, they talk about what the best-case outcome looks like for Poeltl. Can he regain some mobility with a healthier back? Can he play himself out being a totally unmovable anchor on the salary cap sheet? And do the Raptors even need THAT much from him? Next, they go grim. What if Poeltl is even less healthy than he was last year? Does it risk derailing not just this season but the longer term building plans for the team? Lastly, they talk about what the most likely outcome for Poeltl will be this season. He's probably never hitting the heights of a couple years ago, but there's gotta be a reliable player in a lesser role in there, right? Discord: https://discord.gg/vpEdk6tu5Photo Credit: John E.
