We've got you covered with analysis of the Brandon Ingram trade, stats that highlight his game and his fit with the Raptors. How will the offense look?  Can he co-exist with Scottie in the mid-range?

Of course our feature segment--King of the North and Court Jester. And a free ranging discussion about centers, the 3 ball and media treatment of Joel Embiid. We got thoughts. Join us!

    Centers, Threes, and Toxic Assets: The Raptors are the best bad team in the league!

    **Incoming*  The latest Raptors Queens pod has dropped. After RJ Barrett's triple double performance and his 39-piece, we look at the nitty gritty of his transformation from "toxic asset" to offensive centerpiece, how he has developed, how the eventual return of Scottie and IQ will affect RJ and his ceiling. And a simmering debate breaks out between Sarah and Alison about Jakob Poeltl's role in the Raptors eventual ascendance. The only agreement is that time will tell. As always, our King of the North and Joker of the week segment. Some Philly schadenfreude and it's delicious. Finally our predictions for upcoming games.
