Summary

The Toronto Raptors are, yet again, a team in the driver's seat at the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline. Last year, instead of selling like many expected, they actually bought by completing the Jakob Poeltl deal. Now, with a trade of Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett for OG Anunoby already complete, the team is 2-0 since that move and still has Pascal Siakam's impending free agency and potential trade status to deal with, Gary Trent Jr.'s impending free agency, and a roster that looks better, but could still use some work. Samson Folk from Raptors Republic joins us and we break down everything, including me pitching him some wild fake trades. Then, we start the show with the Jonathan Kuminga report and what it says about young players, playing time, the NBA at large, and more. Learn more about your ad choices.
