In Episode 1182, Sean Woodley goes solo to tee up the Toronto Raptors off-season and break down what the ideal moves for the team might look like. Off the top, Sean digs into what resources the Raptors actually have to work with going into the summer. They don't have any cap space at all, but they do have the Mid Level Exception to work with, and the Bird Rights of Chris Boucher, Thad Young and Yuta Watanabe to help with bringing back their own pending unrestricted free agents. Will the Raptors have to move on from one of Khem Birch of Malachi Flynn to open up some flexibiility? Next, Sean digs into the question of what exactly the Raptors should prioritize this summer. Should they throw the $10+ million Mid Level at a big man to beef up the front court? Or should they opt to spend their biggest off-season tool to improve their ball-handling and inject a bit of shooting into the mix? Lastly, Sean lays out his ideal opening day depth chart for the Toronto Raptors, and why someone like Thomas Bryant or JaVale McGee would be a nice addition to the centre mix.
Sean's Ideal Depth Chart:
PG - Scottie Barnes / Delon Wright / Malachi Flynn / Dalano Banton
SG - Fred VanVleet / Gary Trent Jr. / Svi Mykhaliuk
SF - OG Anunoby / Thad Young / 2nd Rounder
PF - Pascal Siakam / Chris Boucher / Justin Champagnie
C - Precious Achiuwa / Thomas Bryant OR Javale McGee
