In Episode 1435, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down where things sit with the Toronto Raptors going into the NBA's free agency window, which opens today at 6pm ET. Off the top, Sean digs into why he's ultimately feeling pretty zen going into the offseason despite the uncertainty surrounding Fred VanVleet. It seems pretty implausible that there aren't contingency plans in place if Fred bolts, but it also seems like it's still very possible that FVV does come back to the Raptors at the end of the day. Next, Sean runs through the financial picture for the Raptors and the dominoes that will need fall for the Raptors in the event VanVleet does re-sign and which money-cutting moves might be necessary in response. Plus, how does the uncertainty with James Harden in Philly inform the of the Raptors' plan to run it back, and what the ideal outcome for the next week or so would be for the Raptors through Sean's eyes.

In Episode 1437, Sean Woodley goes solo to to discuss the possibility of Pascal Siakam getting traded as a follow up to Fred VanVleet's departure in free agency, the signing of Jalen McDaniels, and what to make of the Raptors' depth chart as it stands. Off the top Sean digs into the latest rumours about Siakam from Sportsnet Michael Grange, and discusses why the Atlanta Hawks, while being the most likely trade partner, might still be tough to strike a deal with considering the outside factors at play for both teams. Are there any other potential Siakam suitors that could join the mix if in fact the Raptors are gearing up to move their best player? Or is it more likely Siakam ends up extending with the Raptors and sticking around? Next, Sean discusses the addition of Jalen McDaniels on a 2-year, $9 million contract and what his addition means for the bench, as well as whether his addition could stand to increase the odds of Chris Boucher or Precious Achiuwa getting moved in a trade for guard help. Lastly, Sean assesses the Raptors' depth chart as it stands and digs into why the departure of Fred VanVleet's pull up shooting threatens to render the Raptors' offense as one of the worst in basketball, even if the defense figures to be as stout as ever.
