In Episode 1425, Sean Woodley goes solo to examine the possibility of the Toronto Raptors trading up with the Portland Trail Blazers at the NBA Draft to draft Scoot Henderson with the 3rd-overall pick, presumably with Pascal Siakam going the other way. Off the top, Sean details why the Raptors need the Blazers to get a little bit stupid in order for this dream to become a reality, and the circumstances that seem to be leading the Blazers towards doing just that. Plus, some thoughts on what fun it would be to see a guy of Scoot’s hyper-athletic, rim-attacking archtype on the Raptors, which is something the fan base has never experienced at the point guard spot before. Next, Sean digs into what the scouts say about Henderson’s strengths as well as the areas in which he’ll need to improve in order to fulfill his full superstar potential. Lastly, Sean digs into the reasons what the Raptors offseason should look like in the event they do land Scoot, Anfernee Simons and other pieces from the Blazers in exchange for Siakam. Would that deal make it easier for the Raptors to let Fred VanVleet walk outright in free agency? And what would it mean for Gary Trent Jr.? Look, there is almost no way this trade is happening. But like, what if it did..

Anywhere pascal go the raptors will regret it
Scoot is an amazing player and he would be great with Scottie as a young duo that could become one of the top duo in the NBA reminds me of Giannis and Jrue, but Scoot can be better than Jrue 🔥.
The guy we need to get in order to have a bright future is to get Scoot and pair him with Scottie.
The only problem with school in Scotty is they both can’t shoot the three ball that’s a big problem. We’re gonna have to start as you can shoot for three.
Scoot Simmons Scottie, Barnes OG, Anunoby, Jakob Poeltl that’s a pretty good starting five
Blazers would be out of their minds to do this. This is the type of treadmill move that cripples a franchise. But as a raptor fan, Im praying it happens.
It would be an amazing thing. An electric scorer/pg like a Derrick Rose would completely change the trajectory of the team. He would have crazy gravity on the floor.
Scoot going to be picked 2nd if we trade pascal and not get scoot that would be bad
If the trade was to go theoretically go down and Raps pick 3rd I wonder if Charlotte does the unexpected and picks Henderson with their pick. Also read reports that Pelicans have offered Zion in a package for the pick was well. Sometimes the offseason is just as exciting in it's own way in the NBA
One year of Siakam or even multiple years is nowhere close to enough to give up the #3
