Some bittersweet news, but yes, we are leaving the Sonar Network to  go to Raptors Republic. We’ve had a fantastic time at Sonar and can’t  say enough good things about them. So many great podcasts on this  network, and Michael and Marianna work their butts off. Freddie will  still be coming at you with Sonar’s The Pickup [https://thesonarnetwork.com/the-pick-up/]WNBA podcast, so make sure you subscribe and listen. RAPTORS: Kyle Lowry returns and gets his tribute. What was your  favourite moment from the return and overall favourite Kyle moment? Do  the Raptors have a Pat Beverley type of player?

Episode 9.237: Sheldon Alexander & Graham Kay

We got some Scottie and Nurse heat, thoughts on the Raptors experiment, recasting Winning Time and picking the legit contenders!
