Hawks SHOPPING All-Star Point Guard – Rajakovic Under Fire – Raptors Trade Suitor | Raptors News
A report has come out that reveals a Deonte Murray trade is incoming given the fact the Toronto Raptors have been linked to the Atlanta Hawks and reports and rumors over the past year for a bunch of their players a lot of people are speculating that the Raptors could
Be the team that gets involved to acquire the Hawks All-Star point guard so we’ll discuss that including Darko R rakovich catching some serious fire as of late to the point where some fans are calling for him to get canned just a third way into his first season with the
Team so we’ll talk about that including the Raptors being named as a potential Suitor for Donovan Mitchell according to Vegas so lots of crazy stuff going on I’m wishing a merry Christmas to everyone out here watching this vid I hope everyone’s celebrating with their fans having a good time eating some good
Food and all that type of stuff but the torona Raptors news it keeps rolling even during Christmas Even when we don’t have games going on so let’s just jump straight into it the first thing we were taking a look at is dark or yakovich under some fire as of late now the
Toronto Raptors there’s no other word to put this season than disappointing came into this year all hyped up darkar rakovich was brought in to fix the Vibes to fix the culture things were getting a little bit toxic with the older players not meshing with the younger players
Nick nurse calling out people in the media all that type of stuff and Darko rakovich was supposed to put an end to it however the drama regarding Darko just you know a couple months into his debut season with the Toronto Raptors has started to heat up and it starts off
Sort of with a quote that or the big reason people have been pointing to Darko now over the past couple days is a quote he gave a couple days ago that really caught the attention of the mainstream media you know mainstream NBA media talking saying hey D rakovich when
Asked about changing the lineup for the Toronto Raptors he says it’s not like we have Steph Curry sitting on the bench and I’m not putting him out there on the court and you know dark rakovic his sort of press conferences his interviews I personally really like it he comes off
Pretty positive energetic and you know a bit candid so you’ll get quotes like this that could read a certain way this wasn’t him sort of bashing on one of our six men or you know any guys on our bench here was just kind of pointing to the ludicrousness of some of those
Questions that have been asked but I kind of like the tone but other people are definitely rubbed the wrong way with darkar rakovich is this always kind of Jolly attitude not not to make any Christmas puns but always kind of being candid and making smiles and jokes like
That even the Raptors have been a bit desperate and those sort of Good Vibes even from dark rakovich has been falling off a little bit as of late and given the tone of that question given some of the videos we’ve made over the past couple weeks there’s been a lot of
Rumors darko’s even talked about himself about potential lineup changes you know changes to the starting lineup gra recently put out an article saying that purle might be moved to the bench we don’t know if that’s an inside source of him just spouting sort of stuff in his articles but people aren’t really happy
With specifically the usage rate of Dennis schruder he’s a guy that’s getting more shots than OG and an Obi who’s a player that we might be giving $40 million per year for two next season and he hasn’t been super efficient his a three-point shot started off really hot
For this Raptor team but it’s cooled off as the season gone along and down the stretch of games it’s even more weird because he’s getting close to the amount of touches as fourth quarter Scotty Barnes which is kind of a crazy thing or sorry Scotty Barnes leading the way and
Then Pascal seak who is our top guy Top Dog on this team not Scotty bar Scotty gets the most touches down the stretch of these games but I digress darkak which is a tight relationship with Dennis shuder he has his favorites and things like that and people just are
Kind of rubbed the wrong way specifically with these types of rotations and you know how he kind of responds to things and I see guys on the Raptor show roast his positivity roast the you know three wins in a row he’s buying people dinner and those types of
Stuff personally I don’t mind all that obviously if uh we were winning games and you know he was doing these types of things no one would really care but darkar rakovic was brought in to do as I said at the beginning fix the Vibes on this team fixed sort of the negative
Clouds that were looming over this Raptor Squad last year and frankly from what the players have been saying you know how they’ve been addressing Darko in the media the postgame interviews even on the court stuff despite the fact the Raptors have been losing it seems at least things are more positive so even
Though we’re losing games we’re losing at a little bit higher rate than we were last season the players seem to be happy with Darko rovic he isn’t doing anything egregiously bad you know some of the rotations can be questioned and things like that but personally I don’t have a
Major problem with what dark O’s been doing and if Nick nurse couldn’t get a winning team out of this squad I don’t know how you know Nick nurse we see what he’s doing in Philadelphia right now it’s one of the League’s top coaches I mean the fact that Darko he still hasn’t
Been horrible this team hasn’t you know been the Detroit Pistons by any means but the fact that Darko hasn’t gotten something new out of this core group that wasn’t working for the past two years I mean we can’t just throw him under the bus now two months into his
First season but that’s just my take what do you guys think about darkar rakovich let me know in the comment section down below next thing we’re taking a look at is De jonte Murray a trade coming trade is coming for Deonte Murray not necessarily with the Toronto
Raptors but a lot of people are pointing to the Toronto Raptors after a basically this report that came out from Mark Stein had said the Hawks are expected to explore trading de Jon Murray multiple teams have consulted in Orlando believe that the Hawks will explore their trade options with dejonte Murray over the
Next six weeks leading up to the February 8th trade deadline now the Hawks like the Trona Raptors are kind of in a rough spot I mean if you look at the the standings right now in the Eastern Conference Atlanta is just one seat ahead of us not even in the playing
Tournament they sacrificed and the Hawks are team that sacrificed a bunch of draft picks in order to acquire their top star at least our guys in seak emoji Scotty we kind of drafted them kept them in we didn’t sacrifice too much of our future I guess we did trade a draft pick
To the San Antonio Spurs for yaka purle but man the Spurs are looking good after getting Graphics from us and the Atlanta Hawks and those uh deals that they made over the past couple years but I’d digress the Hawks are a team that don’t want to be bad they’re a squad that
Wants to win now and Trey young has been putting up some pretty solid stats specifically so getting some guys you know that fit Trey young better trading for jonte Murray who needs a ball in his hands you know is going to be doing similar things that Trey young is doing
Out there on the court I could see why they’re trying to get some value back for Deonte to build around Trey you know build a team that Trey’s proven he made it to the Eastern Conference Finals is in the bubble year you might say it’s oh
Or fluke or sorry a bubble year the Year following the bubble year but you could say that might have been a fluke you could say it whatever it is but Trey young is a pretty solid player even for his shortcomings on the defensive end and that’s where the Raptors come to
Play because we’ve all heard the reports the rumors about Pascal cakam they’re desperately trying to acquire him so good deal for Deonte Murray for Pascal seak that sort of framework of a package really work well let’s look at it from the Raptor’s side of things you know how
Would we feel about this deal potentially going down CU tonte Murray is a guy averaging 20 points per game 4.4 rebounds 5.4 assists he’s a player that’s in the past averaged near a triple double so is numbers have definitely digressed a little playing alongside Trey young When there’s less
Assists to go around you’re plan of playing the two guard rather than you know the Russell Westbrook as guard that immediately pushes the ball up the court but is a guy that’s very solid he can shoot the basketball pretty well 38% from the three-point line 83% from the
Free throw Stripes so it’s really a solid player on defensively is strong for a guard 65 still pretty young 27 years old so dejon de Murray would really be an interesting piece for this Toronto Raptor team and you look at his shooting splits this uh season specifically he’s really increased the
Amount of three-point attempts he’s been taking this year you know right now in terms of uh his shot distribution 36% of his shots are from behind the three-point line and he’s again hitting 38% of them so he’s becoming more and more of a SHO shooter with his new role
With the uh the Atlanta Hawks so again a player that’s only 27 years old he’s a guy that you know facilitates doesn’t get assisted on a lot of his buckets and went down this season as well so can create his own shot can you know space the floor for this Raptor Squad and
Given the fact that shuder obviously is a guy that is been good he’s been good more of a six more of a guy that you prefer to come off the bench be a spark plug be all these types of things to jonte Murray has been in all star he’s
Been a lead guard and could be a really nice piece to bring into this Raptor Squad frankly since we’ve been uh looking at Players potentially to trade cakam for and things along those guys he’s guy it’s locked in under contract and you know does it on both ends of the
Court is a tall guard could fit Scotty Barnes nicely out of the sort of players that have been rumored and named for Pascal cakam Deonte Murray even though he’s a little bit older in some of the players isn’t a guy that I would mind to come back again I still value Pascal
More but Pascal is an unrestricted free agent this summer the Raptors have been a bit questionable whether or not they want to bring him back so a package revolving to jonte Murray doesn’t turn my head too much but we’ll see what Messi Jerry can potentially do but the
Hawks are seemingly going to shop de Jon Murray and try to make something happen they’re a team that’s pretty well as desperate as the Toronto Raptors right now so we’ll see what ends up happening along those lines trading one problem for another might work out might not let
Me know what you guys think in the comment section down below and the final thing we’re discussing is the Raptor a potential Suitor for Donovan Mitchell and personally we went through this whole Donovan Mitchell drama a couple summers ago the KD stuff and all that all the
Cleveland Cavaliers want a lot of value for him but I was peeping the sort of I saw this on Twitter actually but basically the odds came out in terms of where Donovan Mitchell could land and the Raptors were randomly named as a potential Suitor obviously the Knicks
Are the favorites the heat the Nets are there the Pelicans and Sixers have significantly better odds than us but you know the Raptors are there at six so we’re a potential Suitor for Donovan Mitchell if uh I have no idea how betting odds work but I think this
Number ended up coming out to about a 3.45% chance so hey if we get Donovan Mitchell I’m not sold that he’s the perfect piece for this team I mean he would help our offense tremendously he’d be a nice sort of guy that fits around a Scotty Barnes
Isn’t really a leag guard is more of a two could shoot the basketball but again it’s going to be a free agan in a couple years I’m he wore the Raptors jersey during the dunk contest but a lot of quotes a lot of reports that have come
Out indicate he wants to play in New York which is his hometown so it’ be a massive risk to sort of trade for this guy the Cavs again our Squad that haven’t been that great seventh seed in the in the Eastern Conference Moy hasn’t stepped up they dealt with some injuries
This season so maybe they trade away Donovan Mitchell we’ll see what happens I still think again the odds still predicted to be very unlikely but could be a cool fit I mean Donovan Mitchell is a ridiculous basketball player 208 points per game six rebounds six assists you know pretty efficient as well as
Three-point numbers is dipped a little bit this season but I wouldn’t complain if Donovan Mitchell was on the roster but the amount of pieces we’d have to give up in order to acquire him could get messy but let me know what you guys think about all this Toronto Raptors
News you guys the best to make this far subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already wishing you guys a Merry Christmas anyways I’m signing out cheers

I would LOOOOOOOOOVE Murray
Anyone that wants Darko fired already is 🚨LOW IQ🚨
It’s isn’t darko’s fault Precious, Trent, Flynn have got worse… Scottie has ascended would that have happened under Nurse?
Siakam , Poetl, Precious , for Murray and okungwu
Merry Christmas. Nice logo!
Merry Christmas Ben! Thank you for your channel. You are my first go to for raptors news.
Love Darko. He ain’t taking the blame for these bums. There’s like 4 guys in this rotation who on any given night, will stink the joint up. Gary and precious have potential but they don’t know the game. We need a guard, I love og but that handle is sus. We need competent ball handling and a morherfucka that can hit a shot. For the love of god, a fucking shot. #HomesFor Haiti.
Fake fans, the players are the problem.
I dont want Darko fired. I just want him to make TWO CHANGES! Swap GTJ with Dennis to start and put a leash on Dennis useage. Did he lose the locker room ala NN? Don't matter. This team is lost and QUIET QUITTING.
There is no effort on Defense. You know its bad when even OG looks uninspired on D. Pls shake it up.
Merry xmas RD Nation! And vote SCOTTIE ALLSTAR!! its worth 3 votes today!!
It aint darko fault they cant hit open shots
Where is Masai? Like wtf does he even do these days? He basically shows up to his office and collects $15 million dollars for doing nothing.
none of those players mention gonna come to Toronto
This team is a tire fire. The position less system the Raptors felt was the future of the game was a complete failure. The top teams have some form of bully ball they can go to. Too many similar players and not enough strength inside.
Need dejounte murray can play the point and shooting guard and has ball handling skills the team badly needs
The roster is the problem vision 6'9 did not work, draft picks have not worked (other than scottie), contract management hasn't worked, inability to address issues (no centers for 2 years, now no shooting). Masai and bobby deserve 70%of the blame, darko 20%, players 10%
Trade gtj and og for murray and filler. Scottie, pascal and Murray world be a great top3
The fact that you're putting in work on Christmas Day is a testament to your passion and dedication. Kudos to you and all the best in the new year. Now let's get this trade DONE!
Na we’re good. I’d rather trade for Hero or Coby White.
Raptors not making any trades. Don't worry about it. it aint gonna happen
Precious and Flynn take a seat on the pine. Time to play our G-leaguers
Everyone saying "it's not darko fault" …it IS darko fault that Dennis has more shots than OG. It IS Darko fault that Scottie + The bench unit is used every game and is one of the worst line ups in the NBA and it is Darko fault that GTJ's Siakim, OG Bohcher and Precious scoring numbers are down this yr. Darko is terrible
I think Atlanta needs someone like an OG and we can really use someone like Murray.
🌲😊Merry Christmas, Ben!🌲
Let's say it's possible, it has to occur before the 30th, 😂😂😂😂 u guys are dreaming, trade DJ for pascal I don't think so, I think the hawks would go all in for Lauri and DJ wouldn't be in that deal either 😂😂😂, u can want him like Murray, but it's not happening either
I think they unfairly expect the coach to work miracles in just a few months.
The raptors are about to lose pascal and will get nothing in return
The best teams in the league are playing 5 and out. Bench Poetl and Schroeder. Start GTJ and Precious or Boucher. Find a true 5 who can shoot threes via trade, FA or draft.
Id trust Murray and Mitchell to make free throws when they counted in the 4th quarter….things we should care about.
have been preaching Mitchell would be a great candidate for the Raptors they need to make it happen asap they can have siakam and og lol
If Murray was that good, Atlanta will not trade him . Why do you think Atlanta will trade for Siakam who wants to control his destiny and be free agent? I want Siakam to go into free agency and choose his own team
