And now the low post.

Welcome to the low post podcast where it's Thursday a week after the beginning of free

agency in the NBA.

And we are now settling in for what promises to be the summer of Durant, the summer of

Kyrie, the summer of the Barclays Center falling into a sinkhole in downtown Brooklyn as

the latest super team of the NBA falls apart.

We're going to go through the Durant tree landscape in a bunch of different ways today,

starting with the Toronto Raptors undergoing an existential crisis.

Their fans appear to be undergoing an existential crisis.

And to some degree, their organization must be too, as the Durant opportunity arises for

them to help us sort that out.

A guy who knows this beat better than anyone despite dabbling in baseball lately from sports

net with just a great beard growing in Blake Murphy.

How are you, sir?

I'm doing well, man.

Thanks for that excellent introduction.

I got to ask you, though, Zach, when was the last time you knew the Raptors fan base

to not be in some sort of existential crisis?

I think everything's been pretty good for a few years now.

They like this group of guys.

They got the title, you know, the Lowry thing was kind of expected that he would move on

and they would move on from him at some point.
