Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off Friday's show by breaking down the Raptors’ trade deadline day win over the Chicago Bulls. The pair examine Brandon Ingram’s performance and what it could mean for the team’s ceiling moving forward. They also touch on whether Toronto has found something in the backcourt, how the lack of depth at centre impacts the roster, what it means that the Raptors stood pat at the deadline, and how much the rest of the season may hinge on Jakob Poeltl’s health. The guys also take a look at some other moves around the league, including the lack of movement involving Giannis Antetokounmpo, the current status of Ja Morant, and concerns surrounding the Clippers. After the break, Ben and Brent shift to the NHL to discuss Brandon Hagel’s comments on the Panthers–Lightning rivalry, Olympic storylines and injury replacements. They close out the final hour with a wild story from the world of Olympic ski jumping.
