How does the Donovan Mitchell trade affect the Raptors and the East playoff race? w/ Vivek Jacob


Episode 1244


In Episode 1238, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to chat about the Cleveland Cavaliers acquisition of Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz and what it means for the Toronto Raptors in a loaded Eastern Conference. Off the top, they share their big takeaways on the deal and why it's an obvious win for the Cavs, even if it leaves Cleveland with a very good but wing-deficient roster. Next, Sean and Vivek discuss whether the Cavs have leapfrogged Toronto in the East's hierarchy going into the season, and why Raptors-Cavs instantly becomes one of the most interesting on-paper matchups in the entire conference. Can the Cavs withstand the barrage of large wings the Raptors can throw at them? Will Mitchell make Cleveland's offense potent enough to outpace Toronto's? And what does this move do to add fuel to what is already a burgeoning rivalry in the East? Lastly, Sean and Vivek examine the next wave of teams in the East and try to determine if any of them pose a real threat to Toronto's potential top-six seeding. Are the Chicago Bulls more like the team we saw from the start of last season, or the second half? Can the Atlanta Hawks play any defense at all? And more!
