Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1480, Sean Woodley goes solo to lay out some of the arguments in favour of the Toronto Raptors pushing in to acquire Damian Lillard in a trade with the Portland Trail Blazers after yet another day full of rumors and reports tying the Raps to the disgruntled star point guard. Off the top, Sean digs into the statistical argument for Lillard being exactly what the Raptors need, from his decade-long history of driving Top-10 offenses, to his incredible play tracking data in pick and rolls and isolation, to the shooting and playmaking ejection he'd bring to a spacing and creation starved roster and more. Next, Sean examines how putting Lillard alongisde Scottie Barnes could actually be an accelerant to Barnes' development as an all-encompassing star, diverting the playmaking responsibility Scottie is currently slated to have to one of the best point guards of his generation, and freeing Scottie up to gradually develop into the all around star he certainly has the potential to be. Lastly, Sean digs into why Lillard is worth it from a competition standpoint. No, a Lillard trade will not make the Raptors a flawless inner circle contender. But in a parity-driven league that has no perfect squad, giving the team a real puncher's chance at winning the East is more than enough justification to pull off a move that while imperfect, would drastically improve the Raptors' organizational position.
