Locked On Raptors

In Episode 1589, Sean Woodley is joined by Chelsea Leite (Raptors HQ, Winsidr) to chat about the a very busy news day in Toronto basketball, as the Toronto Raptors signed Kelly Olynyk to a 2-year, $26.25 million extension, Scottie Barnes had surgery on his fractured hand, and Shireen Ahmed reported that the WNBA-to-Toronto dream is very much still alive. Off the top, Sean and Chelsea chat about the Olynyk extension, why it makes a lot of sense for the Raptors, and why it validates the decision to trade for the previously pending UFA at the NBA Trade Deadline. Next, they discuss Scottie Barnes' undergoing hand surgery in Los Angeles and why it almost surely spells the end of his season. Plus, how irritating is it that he finished the year averaging 19.9 points per game? Lastly, Sean and Chelsea dig into the reporting on Larry Tanenbaum reviving the bid for a Toronto expansion franchise in the WNBA via his non-MLSE-affiliated Kilmer Group, and why the reports are so darn exciting. Eat it, Ed Rogers. Join us ove
