Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1623, Sean Woodley and Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) play a round of Toronto Raptors Would You Rather with a focus on the team's potential to add free agents using cap space this summer. Off the top, Sean and Jamar discuss whether they'd rather pick up Bruce Brown's option and bring back Gary Trent Jr. at a market-value deal OR renounce them both from their cap sheet and sign Sacramento Kings sixth man Malik Monk to a 4-year / $100-million contract. Next, they get extreme with the Raptors' pursuit of wing players by discussing whether they'd rather only add wings via the draft this summer, OR only add wings via free agency? Could Caleb Martin be a fit, for example? Lastly, they discuss whether they would rather the Raptors sign a backup point guard or a third big man should they exercise their cap space option. Tyus Jones or Nic Claxton, anyone? Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/De5pCZwNSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

In Episode 1622, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings) to chat about the very worst elements of the Toronto Raptors' disastrous 2023-24 season to continue their three-part look at The Good, The Bad and The Hmmmm from the year that was. Off the top, Sean has a little meltdown on the heels of Pascal Siakam's masterful 37-11-6 performance against the Milwaukee Bucks and revisits the trade of Siakam to the Pacers, which was bad for a great many reasons. Next, Sean and Katie dig into the cloud of uncertainty that hung over the team for much of this season, and the many ripple effects of yet another year beginning with indecision and a lack of direction. Lastly, Sean and Katie run through some other bad elements of this season, including ill-timed injuries, poor performance from fringey wings, the handling of Chris Boucher, and a total no-show in the In-Season Tournament. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/Qg8JdCxVSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

In Episode 1621, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the Toronto Raptors getting the 19th-overall pick in this year's draft courtest the Indiana Pacers as a result of Monday's tiebreaker coinflips before talking about what the Raptors options could be if they jump up in the order on lottery night and why Alex Sarr would be the clear addition if the Raptors were to get the number one overall pick. Off the top, Sean digs into the draft gods not looking favourably upon the Raptors when it comes the first-rounder acquired in the Pascal Siakam trade, and why that isn't all that terribly a thing considering what this draft class looks like in the middle tier. Next, Sean examines what the Raptors options would be if they moved up to 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th on lottery night, and digs into why Alex Sarr is the clear pick if they're no. 1, but things get much more murky if they're 2nd or later and Sarr is off the board. Could trading back be the best option? Lastly, Sean digs into the scouting report on Perth Wildcats center Alex Sarr and why his defensive upside and fit on a Scottie Barnes team makes him an ideal option for the Raptors if they're lucky enough to win the NBA Draft Lottery. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord: https://discord.gg/cH6dBrWnSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

In Episode 1620, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to eat some crow and perform some mea culpas as they reflect back on the things they got the most wrong about the 2023-24 Toronto Raptors. Off the top, they chat about the Raptors' teams they've most misjudged historically, before they get into how they both erred in their predictions that the Raptors would retain Pascal Siakam before the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline. Next, they get into how Sean wildly overestimated the quality of the Raptors' defense at the start of the season with Dennis Schroder in as the lead point of attack defender, while Vivek cops to expecting an O.G. Anunoby offensive leap that never came. Lastly, they chat about Vivek's realization that he was entirely too easy to practice patience with the Raptors' front office and some of their less-inspired moves in the last couple years, while Sean admits that he was oh so very wrong to want the Raptors to trade Scottie Barnes for Damian Lillard -- although the push to flip O.G. for Dame is a pretty interesting topic for debate. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/2sXmqMwsSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

In Episode 1619, Sean Woodley is joined by Richard Stayman (Locked On NBA Big Board) to chat about the state of the 2024 NBA Draft class, the Toronto Raptors' muddled pick situation and some potential players who could be snug fits in Toronto with the Indiana Pacers pick and/or the Detroit Pistons pick at the top of the second round. Off the top, Sean and Richard discuss whether not this draft class is as light on talent as it's been suggested in the lead-up to the Draft, why Alex Sarr is the only higher end prospect he truly believes in having substantial upside, and the notion that the best players in this draft will probably come from outside the Top-10. Next, Sean and Richard tap into the biggest debate of our time: To Keep, or Convey the Raptors' Top-6 protected pick. Of course it's entirely out of the Raptors' control, but should Raptors fans be rooting for the team to hang onto this year's pick at 6, or convey it now and make their pick in 2025 wherever it may fall? Lastly, they run through some potential fits with the Raptors in the late teens or at 31 with their other two picks in this draft, including Tristan da Silva, Isaiah Collier, Kyshawn George, Ryan Dunn, Tyon Grant-Foster, Ulrich Chomche and more! Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/anFCzCkxSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play.Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1618, Sean Woodley offers some quick off-the-top thoughts about Masai Ujiri's season-ending press conference and Jontay Porter receiving a lifetime ban from the NBA for gambling before welcoming in Locked On Raptors fantasy basketball champion Josh Green to talk about his Toronto Raptors fandom. Off the top, Sean talks about why Masai Ujiri's postseason presser, while light on hard details, seems to indicate an understanding that the front office has made some mistakes in recent years, and are prepared to turn the page over. Plus, Sean offers some thoughts on Jontay Porters' lifetime ban, and why it brings to light a pretty nasty double standard for what constitutes a lifetime ban, even if Porter probably deserves the punishment he got. Next, Sean is joined by Josh Green, the champion of the Locked On Raptors listener fantasy leage, to chat about his origins as a Raptors fan living in Manchester, England, the Raptors' championship and downturn, and his ideal Raptors offseason!Join us on the Discord to come hang out with Josh and other Raptors sickos just like you! https://discord.gg/mbr3F9CgSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play.Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1617, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about some of the good things that came out of a mostly troublesome Toronto Raptors season. Off the top, they chat about Scottie Barnes' monumental leap on the court, as well as the important strides he took as a leader off the court, and why his 22 missed games at the end of the season seem to have provided him a great opportunity to grasp the full responsibility of being the number one guy on a team. Next, they discuss the transformative O.G. Anunoby for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley and how that moved single-handedly helped accelerate the build around Scottie Barnes. Plus, thoughts on the team's incremental growth throughout the year, Darko Rajakovic looking like a good one, Garrett Temple's impact, Bruce Brown's fashion sense, and much more! Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/mbr3F9CgSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play.Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1616, Sean Woodley goes solo to run down the three biggest offseason questions facing the Toronto Raptors and their front office heading into a pivotal summer for the franchise. Off the top, Sean digs into the question of whether the Raptors will keep their pick at 6th-overall or higher after Draft Lottery night or convey it to the San Antonio Spurs if it falls 7th or later, and all of the ripple effects lotto night could have on the Raptors' subsequent offseason moves. Next, Sean chats about the question of whether or not Gary Trent Jr. and/or Bruce Brown will be back with the team and the various options the Raptors have with Trent, a pending UFA, and Brown, who has a team option that guarantees for next season on June 29th. Lastly, Sean chats about whether this summer could see the always opportunistic Raptors take a swing on a star trade should one -- specifically on the wing -- become available. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/VfkxGXcB Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play. Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1615, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about the Toronto Raptors' season coming to an end over the weekend, and their biggest takeaways from the end-of-season availabilities for Kelly Olynyk, Jakob Poeltl, Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick. Off the top, they chat about the overarching takeaway from every player's comments: Darko Rajakovic is absolutely beloved by all the players in the organization, and has absolutely nailed the number one task assigned to him when he took over as he has vastly overhauled the culture. Next, Sean and Vivek discuss Scottie Barnes' comments on leadership, and remark upon how far he seems to have come as the Raptors' leading man since this time 12 months ago. Lastly, they chat about the offseason that lies ahead, turning the page from 18 months of less-than-stellar decision-making, and improved overall vibes to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/7UA6kFSGSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play. Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1614, Sean Woodley is joined by Joseph Casciaro (The Score, Pound the Rock) to revisit their preseason bold predictions about the Toronto Raptors made the day the 2023-24 season began to check in on just how right or wrong they were. Off the top, they chat about Sean's prediction that the Raptors would be the league's leading transition frequency team -- which they were! -- as well as Cash's prediction that Scottie Barnes would win Most Improved Player. Next, they dig into Sean's proclamation that if Pascal Siakam was traded, it would be to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Chris Paul, Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis (whoops), as well as Joe picking Dennis Schroder to finish the season with more assists per game than Fred VanVleet. Lastly, Sean eats a gigantic bowl of crow after reviewing his prediction that Gradey Dick and Jalen McDaniels would be the Raptors' best on/off-driving two-man lineup, while Joe accepts his culpability for picking the Raptors to finish 3rd in the Atlantic Division. Look man, it was a tough season for everyone around the Raptors. Even the prognosticators. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/zJNWDJpESupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1613, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to talk about the Toronto Raptors falling 106-102 to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night in a game that featured more exciting flashes from Immanuel Quickley and Gradey Dick, and not a whole much else worth noting from the Raptors end of things. Off the top, they chat about Quickley's 32-7-9 effort that saw him nearly power the Raptors to a win with some late-game shot making, and discuss how the version of Quickley we've seen over the last month and a half will blend with Scottie Barnes once the team is healthy again next season. Next, Sean and Jamar chat about Gradey Dick pouring in 24 points on 6/14 from three, and what might happen next season to help his overall impact metrics fall more in line with the promising eye test evaluation we've seen from Dick in his rookie season. Lastly, they run through The Good (Ochai Agbaji bodying Dennis Schroder, the overall bench vibes), The Bad (at-rim shooting, going 1-15 against the Atlantic Division) and The Hmmmm (will we see a full Raps lineup again this year?, the inability of any Raptors fringe big to hit a two this season) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/gqdWWhqBSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1612, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) chat about the Toronto Raptors falling 140-123 to Pascal Siakam and the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night in the Raptors' final home game of the season. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about Javon Freeman-Liberty's career-high 20 points, the craft he plays with on offense, and why he remains the fringe guy getting late season run who is most likely to be a part of the big club next season. In fact, he could be the best Raptors G-League success story of the last 5 years. Next, Sean and Katie spend some time doing some Veteran Appreciation for Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown, who have been two of the more constant faces on the team over the tumultuous last month and a half, and both figure to be rock solid rotation players for the team next season, assuming Brown is kept around through the summer, which might just be their best course of action with him. Lastly, they run through The Good (JFL, Malik Williams' first NBA points), The Bad (Ochai Agbaji, on both ends) and The Hmmmm (the Pacers' playoff outlook, the decision to rest Immanuel Quickley in the final home game in game where a win would have helped the Raptors' secure a higher draft pick from the Pacers) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/y6nRfsDfSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1611, Sean Woodley goes solo to look back on three memorable games from a mostly dreary Toronto Raptors season that help tell the tell of what went wrong this season and what could go right once the team hits the ground running in 2024-25. Off the top, Sean digs into the Raptors' spanking of the Milwaukee Bucks on November 1st, in which the Dennis Schroder-led starting five demolished the Bucks in transition and turned in one of the few strong defensive efforts that group turned out in two-plus months playing together. Next, Sean discusses the January 7th beatdown of the Golden State Warriors on the road that featured a very early RJ Barrett "holy crap" game and plenty of flashes that the Scottie Barnes-Pascal Siakam-RJ Barreett-Immanuel Quickley-Jakob Poeltl starting lineup might have had The Juice, only for Jak's ankle injury sustained in the game to derail any possiblity of those guys getting time to play together. Lastly, Sean takes a look at the Febuary 26th win over the Indiana Pacers, otherwise known as the Pizza Party game, which is the single best encapsulation of the reasons for optimism as the Raptors head into next season. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/QXzJVSNySupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1610, Sean Woodley goes solo to react uproariously to the Toronto Raptors winning two-straight games over the weekend, first against the Milwaukee Bucks to snap a 15-game losing skid, and then against the lowly Washington Wizards, all the while Immanuel Quickley was freaking awesome. Off the top, Sean digs into Quickley being the standout of the weekend as he continues to show he's not just a scoring guard, but is very much a lead guard  who stands a chance of being one of the best guards in he entire Eastern Conference. Next, Sean chats about Gary Trent Jr.'s outstanding weekend and why he's making case that the best course for the Raptors this offseason is to keep GTJ around as opposed to going and splurging in a so-so free agent market. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (free-throw shooting!!!), The Bad (the bench guys) and The Hmmmm (the Vince Carter themed dunking Raptor logo that should ABSOLUTELY be the team's main logo going into next season) to close out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/UTa5WHD9Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1609, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about Toronto Raptors icon Vince Carter getting the call to the Basketball Hall-of-Fame and his substantial legacy in Toronto and Canadian basketball history. Off the top, they discuss their reactions to the announcment, his importance to the history of the Raptors, and how their feelings on his departure from Toronto have evolved over the time. Next, they dig into the question of whether or not, in line with his HoF induction and the 30th anniversary of the Raptors, Carter should become the first Raptor to get his number to retired some time during the 2024-25 season. Lastly, they answer a couple listener questions about Carter's status as the greatest dunker of all time, and some of the stand-out game from his career that newer fans should prioritize watching to get a grasp of Carter's immmense impact at his peak. Join us over on the Discord! https://discord.gg/x988hnuPSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1608, Sean Woodley goes off on the Toronto Raptors' suffering their worst loss in franchise history, a 133-85 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves with a depleted 8-man roster to push the Raptors' losing streak to 15 games, a result for which the seeds were planted all the way back at the start of the Raptors when the team's front office opted to waste the first half of its season with indirection and uncertainty. Off the top, Sean chats about how things did not have to be this way for the Raptors, and why even though the losses of Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl may have been unavoidable and out of the front office's control, so many things could have been done to avoid those players going out being the death knell for any kind of competitiveness for the Raptors this season. It's a joke! Next, Sean chats about some of the stand-out performances against the Wolves, both good and bad. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (the comedy of Malachi Flynn scoring 50 points on Wednesday night), The Bad (30 different players suiting up for the Raptors) and The Hmmmm (Vince Carter going to the Hall-of-Fame and what it means for his potential jersey retirement) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/H9K7G9hgSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1607, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to break down the Toronto Raptors' 128-111 loss to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers which featured dazzling returns to the lineup by RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about how nice it was to have Quickley and Barrett's dynamism back in the lineup, how they should help the Raptors pick up at least a win or two down the stretch to avoid a 21-game losing streak to end the season, and how those two guys are key reasons why next season should mark a significant step forward for the Raptors. Next, they chat about the vibes of the team not at all matching the 14-game losing streak and overall dourness of the season, with Darko Rajakovic' coaching staff and vets like Garrett Temple deserving a ton of credit for keeping the mood light and positive despite all of the bad stuff that's gone on this season. Lastly, they run through The Good (Barrett & IQ, Barrett's enormous second half dunk), The Bad (The Raptors squandering what felt like a winnable game, the lack of ideas on defense) and The Hmmmm (Mo-G as a nickname for Mouhamdou Gueye, Gradey Dick's propensity for getting to the rim) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/MPT9gRu5Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1606, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett both being on track to the return to the Toronto Raptors lineup on Tuesday night against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as the decision to hold out Gary Trent Jr. for rest. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about IQ and RJ's returns, and what they're hoping to see them bring to the lineup after they both missed extended time grieving the losses of loved ones. Next, they get into the decision to rest Gary Trent Jr. on Tuesday against the Lakers, unethical tanking, and the Raptors' seemingly leaning into the hopes of keeping their first-round pick this season. Lastly, Sean and Vivek revisit the Convey or Don't Convey debate and reiterate why they think it's healthier for the franchise as a whole to convey their pick to the Spurs this summer and wipe their outgoing pick slate clean going into this summer, as well as the potential ramifications if they do in fact keep their pick and draft in the Top-6 in the 2024 NBA Draft. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/rvgmP4SASupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

In Episode 1605, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the Toronto Raptors' 13th-consecutive loss, a 135-120 defeat at the hands of the Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers in which the Raptors' defense was as lifeless as it's been at any time during this dire late season stretch. Off the top, Sean rejects the notion that this was some sort of moral victory for the Raptors, who to their credit managed one of their better offensive showings in a while, but completely failed to offer any resistance against a Sixers team without its two best players -- a troubling item considering how badly this Raptors team could use a couple of guys popping on the defensive stretch during this phase of end-of-roster evaluation. Next, Sean talks about a strong effort from Bruce Brown, and lays out the case for just keeping Brown around if they can't find a deal for an upgrade on the wing involving his salary before his deal becomes guaranteed for next year. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (Kyle Lowry, still doing it), The Bad (the generally checked-out vibe of the fan base) and The Hmmm (Would you Rather: Bruce Brown & Gary Trent Jr. OR Buddy Hield & Kyle Lowry on next year's team?) to round out the show. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/As7Wj74RSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.
