Locked On Raptors

In Episode 1521, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about what we've learned about the Toronto Raptors so far through 15 games, whether we've gotten closer to knowing what sort of resolution we're heading towards with the Pascal Siakam contract situation, and why this team feels much different from last year's in tone and tenor despite the Raptors' still being a 500ish team. Off the top, they chat about what we've learned so far, and the unfortunate truth that Jakob Poeltl's long-term fit on this team might not be super tenable if Siakam, Scottie Barnes and O.G. Anunoby are retained long term. Next, they chat about whether Pascal Siakam's start to the season has given us any more clarity on what the Raptors might be planning to do with their long-time star player. Has he done enough to answer the questions Masai Ujiri posed about him at Media Day? Plus, some thoughts on what a joy Siakam still is to watch, even if there's a chance his time in Toronto is winding down. Ap
