TheScore's Joe Casciaro joins to discuss the Raptors deadline moves in totality including Brandon Ingram's injury history, spacing concerns with the starting lineup, the logic behind Toronto acquiring and immediately waiving James Wiseman, favourite deals from the NBA trade deadline, and Jordi Fernandez stepping away as head coach of Canada Basketball's senior men's program (5:30).

The conversation shifts back to the Leafs with Sportsnet's Jason Bukala as they discuss whether acquiring Buffalo Sabres centre Dylan Cozens is realistic or just a pipe dream, the assets Toronto has to offer, what's behind Cozens' drop in production, and Ben Danford's value amongst Leafs prospects, and the lack of depth in the 2025 NHL draft class (59:50).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Niqui McCown was a 28-year-old mother living in Richmond, Indiana, with her 9-year-old daughter, Payton, and her fiancé, Bobby Webster. In July of 2001, they were 3 weeks away from their wedding, and Niqui was said to have been very excited. But on the 22nd of that month, she vanished. After going to church that morning, she took some clothes to the laundromat, and rather than wait around for them to be ready, she went to her mother's house, who lived not too far away. When she got there, she explained that she was being harassed by two men, and so her mom advised her to get her clothes and come back over. But after Niqui left, she was never seen again. Suspicion fell on her fiancé for a while, and it also fell on Payton's father. But the true main suspect was her coworker, Tommy Swint. During the course of the investigation, it was discovered that Tommy was responsible for the murder of a woman back in 1991. But before any arrests could be made, Tommy took his life. Many believe he also took the answers as to what happened to Niqui with him.

In Episode 1482, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to react to Damian Lillard getting traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-teamer with the Portland Trail Blazers and the Phoenix Suns, and where that leaves the Toronto Raptors after they were reportedly very much in the running for the 7-time All-NBA point guard. Off the top, Sean and Jamar share their initial reactions to the reporting on how the trade went down. Ultimately, this doesn't quite feel like a case where the Raptors balked at a readily available deal, and more like a loss of an honest bidding war to a Bucks team whose package the Blazers simply valued more. Still, that doesn't excuse Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster for the corner they've painted themselves into as a franchise going forward. Next, they chat about where this leaves the team with Lillard not coming in to revitalize the offense and define the team's direction. In particular, they dive into the troubling reporting from Michael Grange about the team still not being sure about where they stand with their best player, Pascal Siakam, and are still in wait-and-see mode when it comes to whether or not they will commit to their 2-time All-NBA forward. Lastly, Sean and Jamar discuss what this means for Scottie Barnes, who now stands as one of the last remaining vehicles by which the Raptors can be lifted out of their state of purgatory. If he's really That Dude in Year 3, then a lot of the Raptors problems become less problematic. But is it unfair to heap that level of pressure and responsibility onto Barnes, especially considering how ill-fitting the roster around him seems to be?Come join in the ongoing Dame convo in the Locked On Raptors Discord! https://discord.gg/YTw4MEXFSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDashGet fifty percent off your first DoorDash order up to a twenty-dollar value when you use code lockedonnba at checkout.

In Episode 1452, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to discuss where they think the Toronto Raptors have most misstepped in their offseason dealings, and why there should be some benefit of the doubt baked in regarding pending moves that still could come as the summer trade market develops. Plus, they take a look at the ongoing situation surrounding the Toronto Raptors' ownership situation and how it could affect the team's decision-making. Off the top, they chat about the biggest reasons why the Raptors' front office is deserving of criticism this offseason, from their misreading of the Fred VanVleet situation, to the public nature of the Pascal Siakam trade and contract saga, to their lack of a stated direction for the franchise going forward. All that said, there are some reasons to give Masai Ujiri, Bobby Webster and company the benefit of the doubt as they wait for dominoes to fall around the league, and there are certainly some ways by which they could salvage the offseason and make it into something close to a success. Lastly, Sean and Katie chat about the ongoing situation with the Toronto Raptors ownership group, as Larry Tanenbaum attempts to sell a stake in his holding company. Could this be the first step in a major change in how the Raptors' ownership group operates?

In Episode 1401, Sean Woodley is joined by Rafael Barlowe (Locked On NBA Big Board) to dive into NBA Draft season head-on with a look at guard and three-point shooters the Raptors might be able to draft with the likely 13th-overall pick in 2023 NBA Draft.

In Episode 1396, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to take a look back at the 2022-23 season for Masai Ujiri, Bobby Webster and the Toronto Raptors front office, as well as the decision-making over the last four seasons and whether it's been as bad as it has felt like it's been. Off the top, they dig into the moves over the last calendar year or so, going all the way back to the Thad Young trade, through the Otto Porter signing in the offseason, and the big bet on the team's internal growth that went awry. Plus, is there a chance the Jakob Poeltl trade goes down as more damaging than good? Next, they discuss the ways in which they think the front office has most erred since the championship in 2019. Are some of their "mistakes" overblown? How much has their focus on physical profile over translatable NBA skills informed their current situation? What about their love of handing out player options? And lastly, does the front office get enough credit for nailing the Scottie Barnes pick? And what are Sean and Vivek's confidence levels in Masai and Bobby's ability to nail a very difficult offseason?Continue the conversation by joining the Locked On Raptors discord server! https://discord.gg/bTWbKK4QSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

In Episode 1376, Sean Woodley fields listener questions about the Toronto Raptors as they get set to duke it out in the NBA Play-in Tournament. Off the top, Sean digs into a pair of questions about Jeff Dowtin Jr. not getting his contract converted, why despite some understandable criticisms he's not too broken about it, and the overall feeling of concern with the Raptors' front office decision makers in Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster. Next, Sean digs into off-season centric questions. Could a big trade happen in response to the outcome of the Play-in Tournament? What could the construction of next season's bench look like and how is the board game Ticket to Ride somehow analagous to the Raptors' current situation? And what the one move he'd make to bring out better results from the team next season might be. Lastly, Sean digs into questions about who the Raptors should target in the upcoming draft and why Cason Wallace is his very early favourite potential selection as well as how Precious Achiuwa and Scottie Barnes would fair on a pair of unhinged reality TV shows.Want to have your question read on a future episode of the show while also getting to chat with Raptors fans in a fun community?

Will Lou and Alex Wong get together on a Sunday evening to chat about Nick Nurse becoming the main character of this Raptors season before diving into a behind-the-scenes look at their live event with Bobby Webster. Also included in this mini-banter pod: a running commentary of a Mavericks-Hawks game, a Loga's Corner story, Bobby discovering Hong Shing, and more. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
Host Chris Walder (@WalderSports) is joined by Will Lou (@William_Lou), the host of "The Raptors Show" on Sportsnet 590 The Fan. The two discuss Will's recent live show with Toronto Raptors GM Bobby Webster, the success of his radio show/podcast, his relationships with Blake Murphy and Alex Wong, the frustrating 2022-23 Raptors campaign, what the team needs to look for in this summer's draft, having big heads, bubble tea, best-dressed Raptors, and so much more.
The trade deadline has come and gone and there are mixed reviews regarding the moves (or lack there of) made by Masai Ujiri, Bobby Webster & the Toronto Rapotrs. The four break down the Jakob Poeltl trade and discuss what it will do to improve the Raptors roster before moving on to the deals that weren't made on Thursdays deadline. With OG Anunoby, Fred Van Vleet and Gary Trent Jr. having been tossed around as potential trade candidates for weeks, we wonder what prompted Raptors management to keep them and question what the team is going to do with their UFA's this summer.
On Hour 1 of The FAN Morning Show, Ailish and Justin discuss the Raptors' decision to stand pat ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, Masai Ujiri's murky vision for this team, and his interesting comments about Nick Nurse's limited bench usage. Later, Ailish presents her daily edition of the A-List (43:57)!The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate
Raptors General Manager Bobby Webster joins the show to break down how the front office handled the NBA trade deadline, what deals were offered and what the franchise could look like going forward. Arash Madani previews the Super Bowl from Arizona & Nate Burleson looks ahead to Patrick Mahomes versus Jalen Hurts and who will lift the Lombardi trophy. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate.
Will Lou and Alex Wong catch up and chat about covering this frustrating Raptors season, Will meeting Alex's nephews for the first time, and behind-the-scenes stories from the radio booth. Later, they dive into listener e-mails and questions about the one meal they would have for the rest of their lives, their most memorable “waiting in line for something” experiences in Toronto, Will turning 30, tipping etiquette, favourite basketball shoes to hoop in, explaining inside jokes on the show, receiving red pockets on Lunar New Year, if they would want Bobby Webster's job, and more. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
On Hour 1 of The FAN Morning Show, Ailish and Justin discuss the Blue Jays' signing of Chad Green, how Auston Matthews' absence affects the allure of tonight's Leafs-Bruins matchup, Mitch Marner debuting his special All-Star skates, the Raptors reportedly taking calls on O.G. Anunoby, and how past trade deadlines might inform Toronto's approach this year. Afterwards, they also weigh in on the Broncos' hiring of Sean Payton and the pressure he faces to maximize Russell Wilson's skill set. Later, Ailish presents her daily edition of the A-List, which features a special game of Jeopardy (47:21).

In Episode 1316, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the Toronto Raptors' 1-1 weekend against the New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers. Off the top, Sean digs into why the wide gap in the quality of the team's performances on Friday and Sunday illustrates the complexity of the decisions the front office needs to make before the NBA Trade Deadline. The loss to the Knicks was lifeless and disjointed, and pointed to it maybe being time to retool the roster. Meanwhile, the win over Portland showed off the formula that got the Raptors to 48 wins last season. Deciding what's more real, between the second half of 2021-22 and the first half of 2022-23, is the job of Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster right now, and it's not easy! Next, Sean looks at Scottie Barnes' excellent 22-9-4-3-2 effort against the Blazers, and examines how Barnes weaponzing the space other teams are granting him on offense is the key to unlocking a more aesthetically pleasing and more effective Raptors half court offense. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (Gary Trent Jr. and Christian Koloko) the Bad (Sunday's wretched officiating crew) and the Hmm (Fred VanVleet's comments about his contract situation) from the weekend to round out the show!Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

In Episode 1315, Sean Woodley is joined by Joe Wolfond (Pound the Rock, The Score) to fully examine the question of whether or not the Toronto Raptors should trade point guard Fred VanVleet before the 2023 NBA Trade Deadline. Off the top, Sean and Joe run through some of the reasons for ang against the Raptors dealing the 2019 NBA champion, and try to parse whether the season-long slump VanVleet has found himself in on both ends of the ball is the sign of trouble to come for the team that pays his next contract, or merely a poorly-timed slump that is not representative of what is to come for VanVleet in the future. Next, they talk about whether there's any juice to the idea of the Raptors standing pat with VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr., the thinking being that upgrades to the back end of the roster might be what's more needed this summer as opposed shipping players with skills the Raptors already have in short supply out the door. Plus, what could the Raptors realistically even hope to receive in exchange for VanVleet? Is the market for him strong enough for the Raptors to bring back enough to justify moving on from the seven-year Raptor? Lastly, Sean pitches a few trade proposals to Joe for judgement. Could the Clippers make a consolidation trade to add yet another member of the 2019 champs to their mix? Could VanVleet and Trent be the return for the Russell Westbrook + two first-round picks package that has been dangled in rumours all season long? What about the Minnesota Timberwolves or the Miami Heat as a landing spot? Or could VanVleet be the co-star to Luka Doncic with the Dallas Mavericks? It's a long show, and a complex situation for Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster to navigate. Enjoy!Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Ailish and Justin discuss the Raptors' OT loss to the 76ers on Monday, the team's inability to close out games, Pascal Siakam's standout performance against Philly, and the organization's biggest personnel deficiencies. Then, they weigh in on the Maple Leafs' acquisition of Dryden Hunt and Ross Atkins' comments from his media availability on Monday. Later, it's Day 2 of the Holid-A List.

In Episode 1302, Sean Woodley is joined by Jamar Hinds (Raptors Republic) to break down the Toronto Raptors' 124-123 loss to the Sacramento Kings, which featured bounce back efforts by Fred VanVleet and Scottie Barnes that were cancelled out by the glaring holes in the team's roster construction. Off the top, Sean and Jamar discuss why the game against the Kings was maybe the game this season that has most illuminated the holes in the roster that exist because of the the front office's roster building plan, and why now is the time for Masai Ujiri, Bobby Webster and the rest of the brass to make moves to address those holes. Next, they talk about the positive signs from FVV and Barnes, and why their performances add credence to the idea that the Raptors' problems are far more about players 5 through 10 than their top four guys. Lastly, they run through the Good (Fred and Scottie, because there wasn't much else), the Bad (Christian Koloko's box-outs, the parade of wide open Kings threes) and the Hmm (Pascal Siakam's weird shooting night, the upcoming schedule) before rounding out the show.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The summer of 2001 was an exciting one for 28 year old Niqui McCown. She spent most of her time putting the final touches on her wedding, which was to be held in August. On Sunday, July 22, Niqui dropped her fiancé, Bobby Webster, off at a local Richmond, Indiana tuxedo shop for a fitting with his best man. Before they went their separate ways, Niqui and Bobby agreed to meet back at their place at 6:00pm so they could finish addressing wedding invitations. Next, Niqui went to the laundromat like she did every Sunday. She started her clothes, then went to her parents' house, which was only a block away. During her short visit, Niqui told her mom Barbara that two men had been harassing her at the laundromat. Barbara thought nothing of her daughter's story - Niqui was a beautiful woman and men often hit on her. Barbara figured that's what was happening. Niqui didn't stay at her parents' house long - she had to go back to pick up her clothes, something she was nervous to do because of the harassing men. Before 3:00pm, Niqui left her parents' house and went back to the laundromat. Her family has not seen or heard from her since. Marilyn Renee Nicole "Niqui" McCown was last seen on July 22nd, 2001 in Richmond, Indiana. Niqui is black, 5'2”, with brown eyes and brown hair. At the time of her disappearance, Niqui was 28 years old and 115 pounds. She was last seen wearing a bright pink and purple floral swimsuit top, dark-colored shorts, diamond earrings, and a white gold bracelet. Today, she would be 49 years old.

In Episode 1209, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to discuss the potential downsides of the Toronto Raptors trading for disgruntled Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant, before taking a look at the Raptors' Summer League roster. Off the top, Sean and Katie talk about the risks involved with a Durant trade, and why any comparisons to the plunge Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster took in acquiring Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs simply don't compute. Next, they talk about whether the Raptors should be wary of becoming known as the franchise that will quickly ship off beloved franchise icons in the interest of superstar acquisitions. Doing it once with DeMar DeRozan made some sense and led to a championship -- but is it worth gaining that reputation even further for a KD deal, especially if it comes at the cost of one of Scottie Barnes or Pascal Siakam? Lastly, Sean and Katie take a look at the Vegas Summer League roster the Raptors announced on Monday, which includes some fun names like Dalano Banton, Justin Champagnie, DJ Wilson and CEBL standout Christian Vital, but also includes Rodions Kurucs, whose history of domestic violence combined with his very clear lack of NBA-level talent is a puzzling and disappointing inclusion on the team.Be sure to read Katie's piece making the case against a KD trade for the Raptors here: https://uproxx.com/dimemag/toronto-raptors-kevin-durant-nba-trade-rumors/And because the Kurucs inclusion on the Summer League roster unfortunately makes it timely again, read Katie's piece in response to the Miles Bridges case from Basketball Feelings last week: https://basketballfeelings.substack.com/p/by-the-numbersSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!TrueBillDon't fall for subscription scams.

In Episode 1195, Sean Woodley goes solo for another off-season Wednesday mailbag episode to answer a handful of interesting Toronto Raptors-related questions. Off the top, Sean examines what the Raptors might be able to do to grease the wheels of their half court offense next season, from unlocking Precious Achiuwa as a vertical role threat, to simply running a little more pick-and-roll, and banking on some internal developement both from Toronto's playmakers and shooters. Next, Sean digs into the question of who will be the #2 player in usage on next year's team behind Pascal Siakam. Will Scottie Barnes be turned loose as a scorer and creator? Or will Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr. or OG Anunoby end up being the team's second-most used offensive player? Plus, Sean offers some quick thoughts on Raptors 905 losing head coach Patrick Mutumbo to the Phoenix Suns. Lastly, Sean talks about whether the Raptors could find themselves in any sort of salary cap peril in the coming years, and why he typically feels pretty comfortable with Bobby Webster and Masai Ujiri's ability to wriggle out of cap trouble. And lastly, will Justin Champagnie be a rotation player next year? Sean sure thinks so.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksCheck out PrizePicks.com and use promo code: “NBA” or go to your app store and download the app today.
