The New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors would execute a trade that would shock everybody including Emanuel quickley who tweeted out oh my goodness upon finding out the news so with this trade going down RJ Barrett Emanuel quickley and the second round pick will be headed to Toronto meanwhile precious auua Malachi

Flynn and the legend OG anobi would be headed to New York for those of you wondering the reason that I call ogan anobi the legend is because I thought that this man would never get traded from Toronto because of messiah’s astronomical asking price for him to me this man felt like messiah’s Terry

Rosier don’t get me wrong I personally think that OG is great at 26 years old OG possesses that prototypical size and length that seems covered on the perimeter I can confidently say that OG is really a two-way player who probably hasn’t played his best basketball so don’t get me wrong I completely

Understand why you might find a player like that incredibly valuable but when you’re turning down three first round picks for a player that may never be a star I do think that you have to look yourself in the mirror that is unless you have some sort of crystal ball like

Messiah apparently does to be straight up I love this move for the Toronto Raptors who decided that they weren’t going to make the same mistake with OG that they made with Fred Van Fleet allowing him to Le for nothing in free agency after all of those successful

Years that he spent with their team sure you Jeri didn’t get those two first in a pick swap but in my opinion he got something just as valuable bringing in two players who have untapped star potential admittedly I’m not the biggest RJ Barrett fan but I’m also not an RJ

Barrett hater this guy is only 23 years old and was averaging 18.2 points 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists this season as a third option on a team whose Stars love to hunt their own shot not only is RJ headed home which is going to hit different for him but he’s also going to

Be headed to a basketball situation that should allow him the freedom to thrive just imagine if this man links up with whoever fixed Scotty Barnes shot Scotty Barnes is legitimately an offensive cheat code right now regardless of the Raptor’s record Scotty has been wreaking havoc in Toronto I’m really looking

Forward to seeing how Scotty will pair with quickly because I think that these two are going to fit together like puzzle pieces if you’re a Raptors fan you have to be incredibly happy with the way that things are looking in Toronto right now there’s so much potential

There now that it’s really just on the Raptors to make the proper moves to maximize it it would be criminal for a Raptor’s team that is currently near the bottom of the standings to not trade Pascal cakam cleaning house so that they could acquire more assets while providing themselves the opportunity to

See exactly what they have in RJ Barrett and a Manel quickly which all signs are in fact pointing to this being the case as Toronto is currently exploring Pascal SE yakum trades and don’t worry guys we will be bringing a pascal cakam trade video to the channel very soon just make

Sure that you are subscribed with notifications on so you don’t miss it now this might surprise some of you guys but who I’m most excited for with this move going down for the Toronto Raptors isn’t RJ Barrett it’s actually Emanuel quickley who has only started 27 games throughout the course of his entire

Career before coming to Toronto despite starting a total of zero games this season for the New York Knicks quickly has been efficient and effective averaging 15 points on 45.4% from the field and 39.5% from Deep he’s been doing this only only playing 24 minutes a game in New York can you say untapped

Potential now don’t get confused this isn’t a case of quickly coming off of the bench being the best way to maximize him because every time that he’s gotten the opportunity to prove himself he has last season quickly averaged 22.6 points 5.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 21

Starts mind you that in these starts he also provided Elite defense making the Knicks Four Points better when he was on the the floor guys if you couldn’t tell I love Quickly’s game he’s quick he’s crafty he has a strap and the ability to score at every single level on the floor

I really think that there’s a good chance that he goes berserk in Toronto now to dive a little deeper than the surface this trade isn’t as black and white as it seems quickly rightfully felt like he was a starter and wanted to get paid like one New York who already

Has Brunson didn’t want to pay him that 25 to 30 million that he want it and saw the opportunity to immediately improve their starting lineup while getting a talented backup big and precious in the process which don’t sleep on this guy for a big he has a bag the IQ could be

Better but the bag is definitely there now mind you that OG also apparently really wanted to be in New York leaving agents under the impression that he’d potentially take less money if he landed there so Nicks fans you really shouldn’t feel too bad about OG being an

Unrestricted free agent at the end of this year year but if you were still feeling bad for whatever reason then check this out OG’s agent who is also brunson’s agent just so happens to be the son of Nick’s president Leon Rose I know what a crazy coincidence so like I

Said don’t feel bad about OG being an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year to me this whole thing was a clear win now move by the Knicks on top of New York being able to improve their starting lineup they’re also able to allocate more minutes to players who fit

Better alongside stars like Dante Dean chenzo who just went off for 38 points on 21 shots against the Pacers look I know it’s the Pacers but to me 38 on 21 is 38 on 21 it’s impressive honestly Divan chenzo is also one of those guys that’s going to surprise a lot of people

Who weren’t already impressed with the season that he was having shooting 44.7% from Deep while also being a Minis on defense I can already see thibs rubbing his hands the Nick’s defense should actually be Bonkers which breaks my heart to say because it should be even

Better than what we’re going to see I know that hartenstein is no slouch but just imagine what this defense would look like if Mitchell Robinson never lost this season due to injury guys I really do like this trade and see the potential for both sides I know that the

Knicks have been getting a lot of hate when it comes to this trade but I wouldn’t fully judge this trade until we see what New York’s next move is going to be because apparently they do have another one lined up we discussed this a bit in yesterday’s video about dejonte

Murray which be sure to check it out if you haven’t already so apparently an NBA exec thinks that the OG trade alone puts the Knicks above the chase pack of the heat Cavs and others do you guys agree let me know what you think down in the

Comments below also let me know what you think of this trade in general clicking the video on the screen right now is a great way to support my channel I’m get like coup bringing you guys the scoop until our next upload

  1. People always talk about Raptors turning down 3 first round picks but never talk about the picks most likely being late first or heavily protected picks. Raptors did the right thing by getting actual players back and not crappy picks.

  2. What’s nasty is saying RJ “has untapped star potential” with like 400 starts in his rear view mirror. He is what he is at this point. And it’s not that he can’t mentally do it it’s more because of his physical ability. Dude has no leap and no real foot speed.

  3. I like RJ, but come on man. RJ is the inefficient scorer you see. I'll miss Quick, but with Brunson he would never start. We turned RJ into what we all wanted RJ to be. I also think OG is about to get activated under Thibs. Lastly, why is no one talking about Precious. He's really interesting and can defend well. I think Thibs can help him. Lastly, this is the starting move, not the final move.

  4. Raps desperately needed a guy like Quickly a true scoring machine. RJ is only 23, he has time to improve and its a fresh reset in a new environment with a faster tempo. Raps got something as they were going to lose OG for sure.

  5. OG should give the Knicks a more efficient scorer.OG score about 25 pts per game when he shoots the ball 14+ times per game and RJ scores 19 at the same rate.OG is a better 3 point shooter and one of the best defenders in the league while making almost 50% of his shots…RJ may not have as many shots in Toronto as he did in New York bc he’s still the 3rd option and with Quickley as the starting PG those shot attempts won’t be like they were in NY..OG on the other hand will have as many shots that RJ did which may bring his scoring avg from 15 to about 18-20 pts per game…

  6. Knick fan here! I love the trade. We’ll miss IQ, but we couldn’t justify paying him what he’d command this summer & OG + Precious raises our playoff ceiling this year.

  7. KNICKS had a logjam at guard. Not only is Divencenzo going to get more minutes but so is McBride who’s underrated and buried on the bench.

  8. Both Toronto and those 2 bozos from Chicago messed up big times by waiting to trade. Zach Lavine could have net them 2 first round picks and a young player, now they are most likely not getting even 1! How do these people keep getting jobs running these organizations?

  9. This wasn't a trade for RJ Barrett…this trade was centered around Immanuel Quickley. The Knicks were not going pay Immanuel Quickley or match any offers for him in the $125+ Million range in Summer 2024, so they had to trade him. RJ Barrett was thrown into the trade to help the salaries match. The Knicks actually did IQ a HUGE favor, because now he gets to be the staring PG in Toronto, and also gets a huge contract in the Summer of 2024. RJ Barrett's huge rookie extension contract already kicked in this season, so he's already taken care of for the next few years regardless of who he plays for.

  10. For a team that hasn't won anything in decades, the Knicks sure are crapped on. When the players are on our team they trash. When they go to another team all of a sudden, they are super valuable, and we got fleeced. OG is what we have been waiting for RJ to turn into and with Brunson here Quick was never gonna get to start. Plus he was probably gonna walk in FA. The Knicks weren't gonna pay 25 mil for a 6th man. OG is the 3&D Wing the Knicks have been missing forever. How the Knicks got fleeced for an underperforming #3 pick making 26 mil and a guy who was gonna walk in FA is beyond me. AND we kept all our 1st rd picks. And if the Raps can't match Quicks RFA offer sheet they will lose him anyway. Its win win for both teams. Nobody got fleeced. We wee gonna lose a guy and they were gonna lose a guy. Even stevens
