Preparing for a potential goodbye to Fred VanVleet, O.G. Anunoby & more as the Raptors return home w/ Katie Heindl

In Episode 1337, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to chat about the Toronto Raptors returning home tonight to play the San Antonio Spurs in what could be a farewell send-off for Fred VanVleet, O.G. Anunoby, Gary Trent Jr. and potentially more as the NBA Trade Deadline looms just over 24 hours away. Off the top, they discuss why this potential goodbye feels a little different from the Kyle Lowry situation at the 2021 trade deadline, and why the time feels right for a bit of a shake-up in the team's mix. Next, they field mailbag questions from you, the listeners! Topics include lower leverage moves the Raptors could make to inject a little happiness into the Raptors' room (Serge Ibaka reunion, anyone), the potential of the Raptors' making a second half run and why that might not be such a bad thing, what the Raptors' actions at the deadline might say about their direction as a franchise, and what Pascal Siakam should do if he's asked to head to Salt Lake City for the NBA All-Star game next weekend.
