The short, medium and long-term implications of the Toronto Raptors’ Brandon Ingram trade
Toronto Raptors GM Bobby Webster met with the media to discuss the Brandon Ingram trade with the New Orleans Pelicans along with the rest of the team’s moves at the NBA Trade Deadline; what did his comments reveal about the reasoning behind the trade, and what will the impact of the trade be on the Raptors in the short, medium and long-term future? In Episode 1803, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors in 7, Sportsnet) to talk about Webster’s comments, and plot out what the trade means for the Raptors between now and the end of the season, their offseason ahead, the team’s shape for next season, and what the longer term vision of this deal might be. Will RJ Barrett be around for the long haul, and is a move to being a super sixth man in his future? How will the shadow core this team has built factor into the long-term success? And what happens if the Raptors strike gold and jump into the upper reaches of the draft lottery? It’s all very interesting!!!

Iâm sure RJ will work on the money situation with the team to benefit the team for other contracts
RJ is not going to bench lol
Just pick the best available player, don't draft for position, it doesn't work
i hope that we're gonna run Quick, RJ, BI, Scottie, Jak for the first 20 games then we'll see if we need to trade or bring RJ off the bench. Lets not move anyone during the off-season.
Not sure I see the issue with the fit between RJ, Ingram and Scottie on either side of the floor. RJ looked great playing off of scottie and pascal and it could be argued the fit with these three is just blantantly easier.
Ingram will take the Dinoâs to the promise land
Risky gamble folks, Ingram has lengthy injury history and giving him 40 plus mil a season over 3-5 years is red flag going forward…….
You guys trippin Hes been your best player since joining the team ingram or scotty is not the player that takes you to next level
Happy September!!
RJ, IQ, BI and probably the rest of the starters are going to see way fewer minutes and way more missed games. Pair that with all the minutes the young guys will be getting, plus the loss of 3 decent bench guys, the tank is still on. This team could be making a serious push next season! Looking forward to seeing Battle, Mogbo, and hopefully Lawson and even maybe the return of Brandon Carlson? Plus more of JaKobe, Dick, Shead, and others.
Why is everyone quick to move RJ. He's an absolute dog. We see Scottie fading when his shots not going down, we need a guy like RJ to put his head down and get a tough bucket
So why even waste 5 minutes watching any more Raptors basketball if their goal is to do nothing but tank? I hate wasting whole seasons to get drafts
RJ isn't goin anywhere. If you depend on Vivek for forsight wooo!!!, how's that going?. Enjoyable to see the guessing game though. Its amazing to me that the amount of delusion of a perfect player. These are men, not machines. Though there may be a solution. Why not insert a video game type of entertainment run by A.I. No humans just A.I generated players. The respected city can upload by vote and payment what abilities they want the player to have. Or something like that. The way these players are spoken of as robots that should do everything the same way every game. Shoot three's all day , and get 20 rebounds, why can't he just twist this way, or jump that way? At times, one thinks your listening to ' Young public school girls, dressing up their favourite Barbie doll. There is so much that goes into winning a trophy. Plug and paste and wish upon a "Star" attitude with picks. Let's keep tanking till we get that pick, what does it matter he is just 6years old". Crap like that, Always wanting instant gratification and no work or patience. Get Copper Flagg, if he doesn't work out , its probably Scottie's fault. wish washy fans and delusional The US podcasters are more realistic and merciful than our own podcast pundits. everything takes time. By next year you will hear talk to trade Scottie. Mark this day down. Locked on is one of the few I find that has common sense, and not ruled by emotion, so kudos to him and Samson, Chev etc. But these other guys, dang.On the trade It is a good one. Love BI style.
15:28 – Ochai is a great fit, but I think Ja'Kobe is the best fit.
Brandon is now the best scorer in the east
Sean, you sound foolish talking about RJ's passport, and how it affects the FO. Your better than that.
Love Vivek. Insightful. The questions he poses have depth. Let him speak, Sean.
I think they're stocking the roster to overtake the Celtics
â¤Good luck Good health God bless You Bi đ˘ enjoy Toronto Raptors
I donât think this means RJ is going anywhere. I think itâs pretty obvious theyâre drafting a Center and they likely sign Ochai and look at trading him. I donât think RJ off the bench would be a problem in any way for him. I think he wants to be in Toronto.
