Big week for the Raptors with the draft and free agency looming!

Raptors: Stanley Johnson picked up his option. Is the Stanimal the ultimate test for the Raptors’ development system? It looks like Phoenix is off the table as an option for Fred. What other teams (besides the Raptors) represent the biggest threat to signing Serge or Fred? With so much action going on in the NBA, you gotta wonder where Masai is at. Where should he be at?

NBA: So far, who is the single biggest winner of the off season? Which NBA team needs a complete rebrand? Quickish Questions and more, with Neema Nazeri and Alan Shane Lewis!

Looks like the NBA will return in just under six weeks, which means the draft and free agency begins soon!

RAPS: Where is your head at? FVV’s free agency, where the Raptors will play this year and Serge’s free agency. Where do these three pending events rank on your radar? Covid has been filled with outdoor hangs. Which Raptor are you hanging with outside and where? Last year Spicy P absolutely exploded. Which Raptor is set to have a break out year?

NBA: What team benefits the most from a shortened season? Trade rumours are starting to fly. Lots of noise from Brooklyn, New Orleans, G-state, Philly and Houston so far…What team is surprisingly quiet right now?

From the Terence Davis arrest to the New Jersey Raptors to the ongoing Giannis chase, we got some basketball talk to sooth your post-election brains!

RAPS: Everyone wants to know what the punishment will be for Terence Davis. Here is what I want to know: How do male fans of basketball and the Raptors show better support for victims of abuse and that they care about creating a safer world for women? The New Jersey Raptors?! How’s that sitting? The Raptors are obviously going after Giannis. Who does he need around him if he’s gonna win it all?

NBA: Silver pressuring to get season going in December. Could the NBA really lose all kinds of money if they start in January? Philly Vs Brooklyn: Which team is more exciting?

With Yaw Attuah and Ian Gordon!

The NBA looks like it’s returning sooner than later with a possible December 22nd start. Here’s hoping the NBA gets some improved VR fans for Christmas.

Raptors: With the Canadian border issue, cities are lining up to be the home away from home of our former champions. Where should the Raptors play? What kind of player should the Raptors draft? Looks like the NBA will be doing playoff-style series matchups during the regular season. Who are you most excited to play a few times in a row?

NBA: The season is back on the 22nd! What the hell! 72 games, no fans and baseball style series. What else should the NBA modify for this season? Who is the biggest name to switch teams before the new season starts via trade or free agency? Quickish Questions and more, with Georgea Brooks & Randl Morales!

We’re now officially back in the Off-Season Funhouse! We’ll keep filling the basketball void in your heart between now and the next season start.

Raps: Fred watch! Stein and Bontemps report that the Raptors are looking to keep Van Vleet under 80 mill for a max slot. Sound about right? Raptors assistant coach Nate Bjorkgren has been hired as Indiana’s new head coach. What Raptors lessons can he bring to the Pacers? Who knows what next season is going to be like. There’s speculation that we’ll play more games against our division. Which divisional rivals are we stoked about playing more?
