In Episode 1479, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down the latest reports surrounding the Toronto Raptors and their believed interest in trading for Damian Lillard of the Portlan Trail Blazers. Off the top, Sean and Vivek dig into the details of the latest reports from Jake Fischer, Marc Stein and others, and whether they think the Raptors are right to be pursuing Lillard, or if it's a bit of a wrong guy / wrong time situation for a Raptors team stuck at a strange crossroads. Next, Sean and Vivek dig into what the ideal cost would be for the Raptors to pay Portland in exchange for Lillard, while being enough to outbid the Miami Heat. A Pascal Siakam-centered deal feels like a non-starter, but what about moves that feature either Scottie Barnes or O.G. Anunoby as the major outgoing pieces? Which leaves the Raptors with a better roster to surround Lillard with? And how does the inclusion of Barnes or Anunoby affect the future pick outlay that might be going to Portland in the deal as well? Lastly, they chat about the downsides of a move for Dame, who reportedly would "make it ugly" if he were deal to Toronto -- is that as transparent a bluff as it seems -- as well as the significant upside a team built around Lillard and Siakam would have. Definitely not done talking about this story this week!
