Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

How do the Toronto Raptors (assuming they get Kawhi Leonard) stack up in the deep and talented Eastern Conference? Very highly! In Episode 2163, Sean Woodley and Joe Wolfond do their obligatory Kawhi Leonard Purgatory check in as the saga moves into Day 22 before chatting about the Toronto Raptors place within their Eastern Conference Power Rankings, and how they'd rank the rest of the teams in the superior conference. Are the Bucks, Bulls and Nets destined to be the three worst teams in the East? Are the Wizards the most obvious 12th seed of all time? The Miami Heat got Giannis Antetokounmpo, but can be really overcome playing on one of the thinnest rosters in the sport? Plus, how many teams in the East can actually make it through the gauntlet and reach the NBA Finals?

Thursday brought a whole new wave of reporting about Kawhi Leonard, the Aspiration investigation and the business dealings of Kawhi and his former representation, but does it change anything for the Toronto Raptors? In Episode 2162, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl react to the latest from Pablo Torre and ESPN's Baxter Holmes about the potential for the Kawhi investigation fallout to bleed into 2027, the latest on Kawhi's business dealings with a soccer team in Rhode Island, and why none of it really changes the situation as it pertains to the Raptors and the league's investigation into the Clippers' potentially circumventing the salary cap. It's all good reporting, and it's certainly a fresh dose of interesting information. But just how consequential will it all turn out to be? Sean and Katie have their doubts...

RJ Barrett's extension eligibility is one of the biggest outstanding loose ends of the Toronto Raptors offseason so far; should the Raptors look to extend him going into the final year of his contract? In Episode 2161, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about RJ's extension situation and why it's anything but simple for the Raptors. Next, Sean gets into the latest on the Kawhi Leonard front, which is mostly just that the Raptors and Clippers have hilariously scheduled a preseason game with one another that could be extremely awkward if the NBA's investigation into the Clippers and Kawhi doesn't wrap by then. Lastly, Sean fields a listener question about the importance of the the Barrett-Quickley-Poeltl trio and what would constitute a successful year for each of them.

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, and it makes the top of the Eastern Conference that much more interesting for the Toronto Raptors to navigate. In Episode 2159, Sean Woodley goes solo to take stock of the stacked East in the wake of LeBron's decision to join the Sixers, talks about why the Cavs and Heat missing out on LeBron probably leaves them on the outside of the contender tier, and why the Sixers are gonna be a wagon on offense despite some early concern trolling about there only being one ball or whatever. Next, Sean answers a mailbag question about which teams in the Eastern Conference are definitively better than the Raptors with Kawhi Leonard, and why that list is probably exactly one team long. Lastly, Sean talks about the Atlantic Division being totally loaded, what the Raptors can do if Kawhi doesn't end up on the Raptors, and whether the Raptors will still be Scottie Barnes' team with Kawhi in the fold.
