Toxic Positivity Friday! Quickley sparks the Raptors & leaving the dread of 2024 behind w/ Katie Heindl

The Toronto Raptors head into 2025 healthy, and looking to put the hell year 2024 behind them. In Episode 1778, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Locked On NBA Newsletters, Basketball Feelings) to ring in the new year with a round of Toxic Positivity Friday, where they chat about the joy of watching Immanuel Quickley back with the team, optimism for the upcoming NBA Draft, and all the things that give them hope for the year that lies ahead. Off the top, they chat about Quickley's return freeing up the rest of the team to be itself, and the prospect of a roster being fully healthy for Friday's game for the first time in ages. Next, they get Katie's early impression of Bruce Brown's return, and Sean details his most toxically positive item going into the season: draft optimism! Lastly, Sean and Katie run through some rapid fire things they're excited for in 2025, including Darko Rajakovic finally getting a chance to coach the team as intended, a full year of Hot Take Heindl and more! Join us on the Discord: https://discord.gg/5WzNRG3WLocked On Raptors Newsletter: https://newsletters.lockedonpodcasts.com/nba/raptorsYour favorite podcast now has a newsletter!
