The Ave Podcast – 2023 State of The Raptors Address

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 219: 2023 State of The Raptors Address

Today on The Ave Podcast, we present the 2023 State of the Raptors Address, the annual podcast episode that breaks down the Raptors current journey during this NBA season. We break down whether the Raps need to trade or keep Fred VanVleet; the future direction of the franchise and who the team should be built around; has Nick Nurse started to lose the locker room; is it still “Masai We Trust” season in the GTA; plus if we believe in Jacob Poetl; how far/close the Raps are from having their fans partying at Nathan Phillips Square again; and literally everything else Raptors. Of course, we end the podcast with our thoughts on Ja Morant. This is the Raptors conversation that you need. Please enjoy.
