Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1634, Sean Woodley is joined by Es Baraheni (Forbes, CEBL) to talk about the report from Shireen Ahmed at CBC that the WNBA will be expanding to Toronto in time for the 2026 season before revisiting the great Keep vs. Convey pick regarding the Toronot Raptors' first-round pick ahead of this Sunday's all-important NBA Draft Lottery. Off the top, Sean and Es react to the news that Toronto is finally getting its WNBA expansion team and share their early thoughts on what the team name should be. Next, Sean and Es get into both sides of the great Keep vs. Convey argument that has dominated Toronto Raptors fan discourse all season long. We'll finally know on Sunday whether the Raptors owe their Top-6 protected first-rounder to the Spurs, or hang onto it if it remains in the Top-6 of the lottery, for which they currently have the sixth-best odds of winning. What would keeping or conveying for next season's plans, the team's long-term outlook, their trade flexibility, and talent accrual? We get into the arguments for and against, all the while understanding it's entirely out of the Raptors' control and in the hands of the lottery gods.
