ToT-cast: Raptors Waive Anthony Bennett and Meghan McPeak Joins the Show

Chris Okrainetz and Ryan Greco open the show by discussing the Toronto Raptors huge victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers last week (1:39). We then debate about Charles Barkley's recent comments on how the majority of the NBA is "unwatchable" (4:02), plus we revisit the idea of the Raptors finishing first overall in the Eastern Conference (8:11).We then get into a spirited discussion about recently waived Raptor, and former No. 1 overall pick, Anthony Bennett (10:42). We discuss whether he was put into a bad situation in Toronto (12:06), and if he can follow a similar path to that of DeMarre Carroll (17:37).Ryan welcomes Meghan McPeak back to the show and the two chat about a number of Raptors 905 related topics (19:27), including: her experience during All-Star Weekend (20:26), Sim Bhullar's recent stretch of play (22:23), the development of Scott Suggs (24:29), the release of Anthony Bennett (27:17), the play of Bruno Caboclo (28:39), and things fans should look for during Thursday's game against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants (30:34).We then close the show out by sharing our takeaways from Ryan's interview with Meghan, including the play of Sim Bhullar (32:28) and whether he could ever make the transition to the NBA (35:32).* * *You can listen to every episode of the ToT-cast on iTunes, SoundCloud, or stream it from our website.
