Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1482, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to react to Damian Lillard getting traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-teamer with the Portland Trail Blazers and the Phoenix Suns, and where that leaves the Toronto Raptors after they were reportedly very much in the running for the 7-time All-NBA point guard. Off the top, Sean and Jamar share their initial reactions to the reporting on how the trade went down. Ultimately, this doesn't quite feel like a case where the Raptors balked at a readily available deal, and more like a loss of an honest bidding war to a Bucks team whose package the Blazers simply valued more. Still, that doesn't excuse Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster for the corner they've painted themselves into as a franchise going forward. Next, they chat about where this leaves the team with Lillard not coming in to revitalize the offense and define the team's direction. In particular, they dive into the troubling reporting from Michael Grange about the team still not being sure about where they stand with their best player, Pascal Siakam, and are still in wait-and-see mode when it comes to whether or not they will commit to their 2-time All-NBA forward. Lastly, Sean and Jamar discuss what this means for Scottie Barnes, who now stands as one of the last remaining vehicles by which the Raptors can be lifted out of their state of purgatory. If he's really That Dude in Year 3, then a lot of the Raptors problems become less problematic. But is it unfair to heap that level of pressure and responsibility onto Barnes, especially considering how ill-fitting the roster around him seems to be?
