Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

Allen Graves rules, Nate Bittle deserves a shot to make the Toronto Raptors roster, and more final takeaways from Vegas Summer League! In Episode 2154, Sean Woodley goes solo off the top to talk about all of his lasting impressions coming out of Summer League, including his thoughts on Allen Graves' tidy showing, the big men who impressed, and the guards who impressed a bit less. Then, Sean welcomes in Locked On Raptors Fantasy League champion Nico to collect his prize for winning the league, which is a conversation with Sean about his origins as a Raptors fan and more before they dive into some mailbag questions sent in by none other than Nico himself.

Kawhi Leonard is still not officially a member of the Toronto Raptors, and out state of limbo persists! In Episode 2153, Sean Woodley and Joe Wolfond chat about their states of mind regarding the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Kawhi and whether or not he'll be joining the Raptors for next season, why they still feel like Kawhi should and will avoid the kind of punishment that would cause the proposed trade with the Clippers to fall apart, and whether they're growing any more concerned by the day that the reunion with Leonard will eventually be called off. Next, they chat about Allen Graves showing out in Summer League and why he should probably just be in the Raptors' rotation from day one before checking in on the Raptors' guard situation and discussing whether Kawhi's arrival on the team would render some of their ongoing concerns about the position a little less dire.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver addressed the ongoing Kawhi Leonard / Aspiration investigation and didn't offer much hope for a super speedy conclusion to the Toronto Raptors' present state of limbo. In Episode 2152, Sean Woodley and Samson Folk (Raptors Republic) settle the score on a months-old bet before talking about the latest from Silver about the expected timeline of the investigation, the impossibility of covering this story on a daily basis without going a little bit insane, and why they're still operating under the assumption that Kawhi will eventually be a Toronto Raptor once again. Next, they talk about the gap between Brandon Ingram and Kawhi as players and where their differences as players will show up the most for the Raptors on the court, before digging into the Kawhi-Scottie connection and the way they'll each help cover for the other's deficiencies. Plus, some parting thoughts on the delightfully effective Allen Graves.

The Toronto Raptors remain in a state of limbo as they await the conclusion of the Aspiration investigation and the completion of the Kawhi Leonard trade. In Episode 2151, Sean Woodley and Vivek Jacob talk about their respective levels of optimism regarding the trade with the Clippers eventually going through, whether it means anything that Kawhi was at the Raptors' Summer League game on Monday, and how much of a disaster it would be for the Raptors if in fact the trade doesn't go through due to a punishment for Leonard rendering it functionally impossible to complete. Would GM Bobby Webster instantly be put on the hot seat if the deal doesn't go down despite it being publicly reported for two weeks now? Lastly, Sean and Vivek chat about another strong Summer League outing by Allen Graves, Seth Lundy possibly shooting himself into a camp invite and more!

The Toronto Raptors kicked off their Vegas Summer League with a pair of games against the Celtics and Rockets, and their first round pick Allen Graves looked really good! In Episode 2150, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk through his takeaways from the Raptors' first couple summer league games and shares some thoughts on Allen Graves' promising start and potential to be part of the Raptors' rotation pretty early on in his NBA career, the big men Nate Bittle and Jamarion Sharp both making cases to get a look from the Raptors in training camp, and some underwhelming play from guards Jaden Bradley and Chucky Hepburn.
