They have a Cave Troll. I mean, a Center. The Raptors have a Center.
Incoming Post Trade Deadline Special. We assess the impact of Jakob Poeltl on the Raptors offence, what he brings and how the schemes might change. How does this trade stack up against the expectations of the fanbase? Is there a grand plan? Did the trades of KD and Kyrie diminish opportunities available for the Raptors to make further moves? We have thoughts. A deep dive into the highlights of Masai's post deadline presser. He may speak like a diplomat but the future is clear as Masai lays it out. Apologies for the delay between episodes...tech issue but we back! #wethenorth
