In Episode 1534, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about Pascal Siakam's future on the heels of Michael Grange's latest over at Sportsnet before answering a couple of listener questions about the current state of the Toronto Raptors. Off the top, Sean and Katie chat about Grange's report about Siakam's future and the possibility that the Raptors could look to extend him sooner than later if they don't think a fair return is out there for him ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline. Is that a good idea? Or would it be more of the same from a front office that could be excused of kicking the can down the road a little too liberally? Next, Sean and Katie dig into a listener question about whether the Raptors are running the risk of wasting Scottie Barnes' talent if they cash in their best players for middling returns. Lastly, they address a question about whether the Raptors' experience with Kyle Lowry a decade ago informs their current, patient approach to managing their core players.
