Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors
Sports:Basketball
In Episode 1557, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the latest Shams Charania report suggesting the Toronto Raptors and Indiana Pacers are actively engaged in talks on a Pascal Siakam trade, with Bruce Brown and three first-round picks potentially being part of the return headed back to the Raptors from Indy. Off the top, Sean parses the reporting and digs into why the Pacers have always been the team that's made the most sense as a Siakam destination, and why the reports of a pick-heavy package are a little perplexing considering the priortiy the Raptors have seemingly placed on young, ready-to-contribute players over draft picks in their recent trade dealings. Next, Sean digs into the main feeling he had upon reading the Shams report: relief. The Raptors have been a hard team to invest in emotionally for two seasons due to the constant uncertainty and trade rumours. Trading Pascal for a middling package seems bad, and probably is bad, but maybe it's just time to rip off the band-aid and let the Raptors just be a normal basketball team. Lastly, Sean answers a couple mailbag questions about the reasons for dealing Siakam now instead of signing him long-term, and Immanuel Quickley's next developmental steps to close the show.
