JD reacts to the Maple Leafs hiring John Chayka and Mats Sundin to lead their new front office. JD then gets into the Raptors' Game 7 loss and what matters most moving forward. JD and Joseph Casciaro, Raptors reporter and NBA content lead at theScore, talk about (10:00) the most intriguing takeaway from the series, the added urgency to build a competitive team around Scottie Barnes, which Raptors aren't seamless fits on the roster, the complicated RJ Barrett contract, and what Darko Rajaković proved in the playoffs.
