Raptors beat Rockets and Grizzlies, but it's too little too late ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline

In Episode 1335, Sean Woodley goes solo to discuss a weekend sweep of the Houston Rockets and shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies that secured a 4-3 record on the Raptor' seven-game road trip, but wasn't exactly inspiring! Sean digs into the why the wins are probably too little too late to tangible alter the Raptors' plans before the deadline, and why the listless nature of both games suggests a shake-up of some degree is needed. Next, Sean takes a look at the Kyrie Irving trade to the Dallas Mavericks, and looks at what it could mean for the Raptors ahead of the deadline as it relates to O.G. Anunoby, Fred VanVleet, the Brooklyn Nets' potential interest, and the Los Angeles Clippers pursuit of a point guard. Lastly, Sean runs through the Good (Scottie Barnes' clutch performance in Memphis and why he's the bridge to the future), the Bad (the general lack of ideas, energy and identity with which the Raptors are playing) and the Hmm (an upcoming schedule that could quickly see the Raptors flirting with a .500 or better record again, regardless of the deadline moves) to round out the show.
