Latest O.G. Anunoby trade winds & how did the Raptors franchise end up here? w/ Katie Heindl
In Episode 1332, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (Basketball Feelings, DIME) to talk about the latest on O.G. Anunoby's potential availablity before the NBA Trade Deadline before a bigger picture conversation about how the Raptors have ended up on the brink of some franchise-altering decisions between now and the February 9th deadline. Off the top, Sean and Katie discuss the latest Shams Charania report that the Raptors are taking calls on Anunoby, with the Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks reportedly interested, and run through the logic in favour and against moving Toronto's defense ace either at the deadline or in the summertime. Next, they chat about Katie's recent piece for Basketball Feelings on the Raptors' post-championship franchise atrophy and try to determine whether what's happened is to be expected in the wake of going all-in for a championship, or if something is more inherently flawed in the way the team has handled its business since 2019. Lastly, they examine the concept of organizational hubris, whether the Raptors' powers that be have gotten a little high on their own supply, whether this season could stand to give the franchise a jolt, and the realities of not being a special NBA franchise.
