Raptors Media Day Takeaways! KAT Traded To New York

[@MichaelWave_]

Keep up the great coverage! Love you guys!

[@pjx607]

Its good to see a hierarchy on this show now. Clearly Will is the main pod analyst and Alex is the supporting piece who prepares the questions. This pod has a chance to become good this year.

[@teebles]

Masai's comments about Dikembe Mutombo was very heart felt. Shocked that he passed so early still. Nice to see you getting press access to conferences still even without network access. Though shout out Matt Bonner and his awesome TTC enthusiast comment.

[@maxp5607]

Thanks!

[@william_lou]

Cheers!

[@comp10-t5o]

Hahaha who else let out a big smile when they suddenly heard "... from the Hello and Welcome podcast"

[@kevinferris3007]

Thank you for the take on Masi Ujuri, appreciate it

[@Stranger66666]

some minor feedback or something on Alex's mic. slight background ringing when he speaks. great episode as always and loved your interaction with Masai at media day

[@WeTheNorthRaptors]

Will Lou you da man, You better than any raptors beat reporters in TSN and sportsnet

[@wilseph1]

Masai hit 'em with a Herm Edwards - YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!

[@69gvfb]

[@isaac_campbell]

Great take on the VC retirement! ❤

[@joonjhlee]

Alex looking like three blind rice 😂😂😂

[@sweatertalk]

Dang, I haven’t seen a Vernors in a minute. Great pod as always 👏🏻

[@Lou-kl1dm]

Alex is setting the expectations of sleeping in all year.

[@arceus54321]

[@joeyhoser]

Will in his giant inflatable suit again. lol

[@yohsephcassidy7324]

welcome and! hello algo. comment engaged.

[@ScarboroughMans]

Can someone explain what the Raptors are doing starting the rebuild now and not back when we got Scottie?

[@AdrianStewart-rv9uz]

Cause Fred VV wasn’t having it 😂

[@paperhag]

Who's vinyl collection is that? Or are those magazines?

[@william_lou]

It belongs to our studio Division 88

[@paperhag]

@@william_lou That's awesome. It's a very cool space.

[@bigbadballernr1]

​@william_lou serious question, what does division 88 stand for? I am from Germany and anything 88 is usually some Nazi-shit...especially combined with sth like "division". I sure hope you are not recording in some White Power den. 😂

[@raptormoments]

building the house was this years i am a duck

[@Nopinotnoir]

Lose the sunglasses!

[@fifthbusiness1678]

You got there first!

[@Nopinotnoir]

@@fifthbusiness1678 It’s unprofessional and reminds me of Bob McGowan who’s 40 years older than Alex.

[@ryansinclair88]

We definitely seems defeated..we just need to accept reality..just sad we didn't do this year's ago an make better decisions when it comes to trades...but hey it's what it is for now..just ofto support them

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@will lou take a look at this starting schedule in 1st half of season and do you really think raptors are gonna win 35-40 games? i can see masai bottoming out the team after first 14 games. just look at the schedule. cleveland, minny, 76ers, denver, charlotte, lakers, sacramento, denver, sacramento, clippers, lakers, bucks, detroit, boston, indiana, minny, cleveland, detroit, new orleans, miami, miami, indiana, okc, dallas, new york, brooklyn, houston, new york, brooklyn, memphis, atlanta, boston. thats their 1st half of season to dec 31st how many wins do you see in there lol. maybe 6. say darko pulls out 2 wins against houston and hawks thats 8 wins.

[@44point5]

Alex going for the poorly attired mobster look.

[@paradiselost9009]

Toronto sports all suck at present .

[@zq5243]

Masai has been milking the 19 chip and been a mediocre/terrible GM for the last few seasons. No doubt about it. He says nothing in his press conferences and this one is no different. Diva. Ship him off.

[@fifthbusiness1678]

Diva? Aside from not knowing what that word means and applying it blindly, you are perhaps in a pool of 5 people who believe Masai to be a terrible GM and want him “shipped off.”

[@Lou-kl1dm]

He's the only thing bringing relevance to the raptors right now. Also, he isn't the GM. That's Bobby.

[@zq5243]

@@Lou-kl1dm what relevance? We have no direction at all. We will be out of contention for a decade.

[@Lou-kl1dm]

@zq5243 He is the king of African basketball, and African basketball is the new power house of the world. He's known in every sport. Because of his leadership, we have been in the top 5 in winning in the NBA in the last ten years. You'd be an idoit to think that's not going to continue.
