REPORT: Giannis & The Raptors have "mutual interest," but does it change anything about Toronto's chances?

from Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors · host Locked On Podcast Network

This weekend saw some more Giannis Antetokounmpo noise perk up regarding the Toronto Raptors, as ESPN's Brian Windhorst alluded to the Raptors being in the market for a big fish, and the Toronto Star's Doug Smith reporting that there's mutual interest between both sides -- but does it change anything about how the Raptors might stack up in the Giannis sweepstakes? In Episode 1879, Sean Woodley goes solo to talk about the latest Giannis reporting, and ask the question: how much is too much for the Bucks' superstar? Off the top, Sean digs into the loose reporting from Smith and Windhorst, resets the Giannis trade landscape and the factors lining in favour and against the Raptors being able to make it happen. Next, Sean gets into what the right price to pay for Giannis would be for the Raptors in order to both satisfy the Bucks' wants and leave behind a team that can project to be a contender in the coming years while Giannis is still in his prime. Can RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes and all the picks get it done? And if more needs to be included, does it begin to make the team left over too thin to make the deal worth the risks? Lastly, Sean takes a moment to give Pascal Siakam his flowers for winning Eastern Conference Finals MVP before doing a thing he almost never does: get mad at national media discourse about Siakam. Discord: https://discord.gg/ne8mNrY6Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!OpenPhoneStreamline and scale your customer communications with OpenPhone.
