This evening let’s get some reaction to this blockbuster trade happening on a Saturday afternoon Avery no slow days in the NBA let’s talk about the Raptors first Who currently sit in 12th Place in the Eastern Conference standings they only have 12 wins on the year I’d like

To know your re reaction to this trade and how much it will impact that win total going forward well for the Raptors first when you getting RJ Barett specifically back in his trade he’s a Canadian he’s a homegrown guy uh I think that’ll help them uh you know with ticket sales

Because a lot of U the folks in Toronto really respect him uh he he’s done it terrific job overall um in New York so he gets a chance to go back home quickly is a guy that can score the ball off the bench he never really seemed to have fit

In the Nick’s long-term plans uh he’s had his moments coming off the bench but uh but specifically with RJ Barrett he gets the chance to go back home play in front of his family and a lot of the Raptors fans uh that has been following him throughout his entire NBA career

There you see the tweet from Emanuel quickley saying oh my goodness reacting to the news that he’s also got a new home so he leaves the Knicks behind so Avery let’s talk about the Knicks they’re 17 and 14 closing out the year tonight against the Pacers I mentioned

Alluded to with o OG specifically you know he’s a second Team all defensive player he’s an NBA champion so you add an NBA champion to your lineup he’s a better fit uh next to uh Jaylen Brunson but also you they sneakily they added prey aure to this deal remember the

Nicks lost Mitchell Robinson for the year um uh with that injury so now pre is another guy that can protect the basket give him more size inside and then the reason reason why I really love this deal for the Knicks they were able to keep all of their first round draft

Picks uh they added a second round draft pick so even if they need to make another comprehensive move uh doing before the trade dayline maybe somebody like a Jordan Clarkson from the Utah Jazz to provide that scoring Off the Bench and that six-man coming off the

Bench they have all of the resources and trade Equity to make another trade
