Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1573, Sean Woodley is joined by Zulfi Sheikh (Sportsnet, Raptors Republic) to take a 10,000 foot view of all the moves the Toronto Raptors have made over the course of the last six weeks to try and determine whether they're better set up moving forward than they were when the season began. Off the top, Sean and Zulfi get into the overall takeaways from a trade season that was full of large-scale change both in the complexion of the roster, and the overall direction of the franchise. Is the direction now clear? And are the Raptors in a better spot now than they were before they kicked off the transaction period by trading O.G. Anunoby and Pascal Siakam? Next, Sean and Zulfi chat about the Raptors' targeting Canadian-born players and whether that might become a core principle of their talent accrual strategy going forward, the benefits of trying to identify Canadian players who can help the team, and the limits of that strategy as it relates to landing the very top end players from north of the border. Lastly, with the dust settled and the roster finally taking shape, Sean and Zulfi run through some five-man lineup combos they're excited to see the Raptors deploy down the stretch. Should Kelly Olynyk start? Will Gradey Dick get some run with the Raptors' core players? Where will Bruce Brown and Scottie Barnes figure into the backup point guard equation? And where does Ochai Agbaji fit in? All that and so much more!
