Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1449, Sean Woodley is joined by Michael Pina (The Ringer) to discuss his recent piece in which he pitched a Toronto Raptors / Portland Trailer Blazers deal that would see Damian Lillard head to Toronto in exchange for Scottie Barnes. It's a controversial trade to pitch, but Michael digs into his reasoning for it and why the Raptors' current position as a franchise makes this type of move make sense. Next, they examine how the Raptors, with a top four of Lillard, Pascal Siakam, O.G. Anunoby and Jakob Poeltl, would stack up in an Eastern Conference that feels a little more open at the top than it's been in recent years with the Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks all have some degree of uncertainty around them going into 2023-24. Would a Lillard-led Raptors team have a shot at making a run through the East? Lastly, they chat about Scottie Barnes, and what the Raptors future can look like if the likely thing happens and he remains with the Raptors going into the season. Plus, are there any more moves for the Raptors to make this summer that could improve their standing?
