Let us now speak of the Toronto Raptors, a team that hasn't been spoken of much, I would say.

They were the team that probably had the most interesting season a year ago due to its trade activity but less so on the floor in part

because we just didn't get a chance to see a lot of the new players that they had

acquired together so joining us now is one Blake Murphy.

How you doing, man?

I'm great.

Thanks for having me on.

I always look forward to this annually, man, our catch up.

And yeah, different look at the Raptors this year than it's been in recent years for sure.

So I guess you know just to take people through it let's just remind everyone of what they did a season ago because much of our

discussion when we talked before last year was oh well they've just traded they got to trade these guys

away they already blew it with

bamblet letting him leave and so they actually did that so what did they get yeah

yeah it's you know you could argue that it came maybe half a season too late you know they they

obviously prefaced all of these moves by trading a first round pick for yaka

purdle and then they you know let Fred Van Bleeck for for nothing. There's been credible reporting

that they could have got, maybe a little bit more

for Pascal Siaqam, had they moved on that last off season

instead of at the, or in season as they did.

I was gonna say at the trade deadline, but the nice thing for our purposes is the raptors acted early and spread it all the

transactions out, so we got months and months worth of stuff, but yeah they finally did it so you know Pascal out

OG out a few other marginal pieces out and then they had you know set that all
