Barrett and Quickley SPEAK OUT on Trade – New Roles REVEALED | Toronto Raptors News

Both RJ Barrett and Emanuel quickley have spoken out on the trade that just went down and they had some very interesting comments regarding to everything that’s going on obviously they said they’re excited about being Toronto that’s a generic response but they had some interesting discussions regarding their future role with this

Team and some tidbits that went on behind the scenes that you know are pretty intriguing to Toronto Raptors fans so lots of stuff to break down in this video but before we do folks we are very close to 31,000 subscribers 31 is my favorite number so cool number there

To hit and over half of our viewers are not subscribed to the channel we’ve been cranking out about four videos a day here on raps digest keeping you up to date and everything that’s going on so if you want to stay up to date with everything that’s happened around the

Toronto Raptors definitely hit that subscribe button but let’s dive into the news and we’ll talk about manual quickly first because Raptor fans are already pretty familiar with RJ Barrett I mean he’s the young Canadian Prodigy that made the league was a top draft selection top three draft selection and

Finally made his way home so he had some fun discussions but quickly is the guy I think a lot of people want to learn more about the first question you’re going to get asked when you get traded is what where were you what were you thinking when that deal went down apparently

Quickly just woke up so he thought it was a dream so uh you know that could get misconstrued it was dreaming about joining the Toronto Raptors or things along those lines but you know caught him off guard a little bit and things like that but did directly say all the

Things you’d expect Toronto’s a great City I’m glad to be here and excited to get started so you know when they don’t say that might be a red flag when they say it doesn’t really mean anything but nice to hear that quickly it’s happy with the city of Toronto happy being up

North in Canada and we know Emanuel quickley wants that opportunity to lead a team he’s playing behind Jaylen Brunson with the New York Knicks and he’s a guy that’s been putting up crazy stats Off the Bench for New York and when he was a starter average 225 and

Five so he is ready to sort of be handed the Reigns on an NBA basketball team and show what he can do especially in a contract year at that point guard position so he’s amped he’s pumped up to sort of join and regarding his role specifically with the Toronto Raptors he

Had some interesting comments as well basically quickly on his fit with Barnes he says the T type of talent he makes it a lot easier for players like me to thrive on both sides of the ball playing somebody that is 610 can pass dble and shoot defend that makes the game really

Easy so he’s excited about playing with Barnes because there was some chatter amongst some corner of raptor fans that hey Emanuel quickley is going to be wanting to come in be that point guard is he going to want to play with Scotty Burns I mean you know playing with

Jaylen Brunson on ball guy can he sort of step back a little bit and continue in that role even though his desire is to play the point guard position well even though Scotty barns is a guy that likes to facilitate pass everything that quickly just said he’s excited to play alongside Scotty barns

Star no mention of Pascal cakam just yet we’ll see if he’s actually on the roster coming up soon but again this is a pretty interesting I think it’s a perfect fit in terms of what these two players can provide and I’m happy that Emanuel quickly is pretty pumped up do

Be playing with Scotty Barns and then regarding his role specifically quickly said that his preference is to play on the ball but is shown that can also play off the ball with it said his role was to be a score Off the Bench in New York City with a new expanded opportunity

He’s hoping to show that he can make plays and Elevate his teammates so basically this is one thing that has me excited this is one of the tidbits that I think is really interesting Raptor fans because some of the language MSI U Jerry used you know regarding uh the

Actual acquisition quickly could be a spark you know sometimes that language is thrown to six men and again I didn’t want to read too much into it but stuff we have to look at because again we want quickly to be a starter on this team when he talks about expanded role it

Feels like darko’s already told yo you’re going to be the starting point guard you’re going to have all this opportunity all this minute so that’s a good thing to see he wants to play on the ball I think that makes sense you know being a point guard being the

Scorer that he is and being able to facilitate because again average five assists per game when he was a starter with the New York Knicks last year so it’s proven he can be a facilitator but Off the Bench was more of a explosive score which is another thing the Toronto

Raptors need so you know don’t uh don’t limit yourself there quickly but the fact that you know he’s a guy that can score can get some buckets and is looking to facilitate is music to Toronto Raptors fans ears because we want to see everything out of t uh

Tyrese Maxi the Tyrese Maxi comparables are happening there Emanuel quickly coming into this Toronto Raptor Squad so you know exciting things really positive sort of uh introductory press conference for Manuel quickly couldn’t have said things better and I’m happy that he’s getting that expanded role with the Toronto Raptor we’ll see if they

Actually play tonight news hasn’t dropped whether or not they’re going to be playing apparently closer to game time we’ll have a better idea the Raptors don’t like to leak that stuff anyways so we’ll see what happens along those lines but now the hometown hero RJ Barrett who’s a guy that has definitely

Been po polarizing amongst Raptor fans Nicks fans you know while this trade has happened some Nicks fans are saying good luck with RJ enjoy the inconsistency and stuff and then some of them are saying he’s a future star and Raptors fans think he could be an all NBA player and

Things like that so you know people are have wide opinions on RJ Barrett but one thing that is going to sound true it’s nice to see a Canadian star player be home and RJ’s very happy about it he says I mean who doesn’t want to come

Home and play in front of their family and friends and get a team that they’ve always loved so much back to where they were in 2019 so RJ directly said he was a fan of the torona Raptors growing up and he wants to get us back into that Championship contention so my camera

Looks like it’s died so we’ll see what’s happening with this my camera’s died from recording too many videos so uh we’re switching up this is the only time I have to record this sort of reaction before this game so we’re running with this but yes it is a huge positive to

See RJ Barrett you know hyped to be back home not sort of feeling weird about it because he was also asked about sort of the questions if there were any distractions about playing back home and Josh lber I think that was a pretty solid question basically it’s great I’m

Really happy to excited to be here thankful blessed grw up a raptor fan it’s going to be great but asked about the challenges he says maybe if I came here at 19 I would have been it would have been more difficult but having grown up I understand that I need to

Work so he says you know obviously everyone was making the push for RJ Barrett to be a Toronto Raptor back in 2019 following that sort of season where we had that colossal choke to the Cleveland Cavaliers the Le Bronto year the Pinnacle of lebronto and people were

Just ready to tank we were done with that Squad obviously MSU Jerry rather than tanking similar to what happened this season rather than fully bottoming out he said hey let’s make a deal and we ended up winning a championship obviously neither quickly or bar are on the magnitude of kawh Leonard just yet

But you know RJ Barrett even though again Raptors fans wanted him at that point things along those lines he feels like all the distractions that might have come if he was drafted by the Toronto Raptors back in 2019 those are all gone he’s a professional he’s experienced in

The NBA so things are going to be solid things are going to be able to sort of manage all the distractions that might come off the court from being in Toronto so again that’s a very big positive there RJ barretts locked in ready to go ready to hoop for for his favorite team

That’s growing up and then also RJ had some comments regarding that I know who I am I’ve shown who I am over the course of the years just trying to get better with the Raptor system and hopefully unlock some new areas of my game that I

Haven’t been able to show as much I am just excited to be here and be a part of this so again question marks fans divided right now on RJ bear people don’t really know how to feel or people do and they have extreme opinions on

Both sides of sort of the Hy bracket so RJ he knows who he is he knows who he is as a basketball player and is hoping that with this sort of opportunity with the New York Knicks and Chris sort of discussed it you know we’ll see if

Pascal sakam and yaka purle are on this team by the trade deadline you know in terms of floor spacing and stuff but with this new role the team going in that younger Direction even if we keep purle as well as Pascal RJ Barrett’s going to be given sort of The reigns to

Drive that drive that basket half quickly and Scotty Barnes able to facilitate from and and a Shooters when he’s out there on the court again the jump shooting is a little bit of a question mark But RJ Barrett’s just ready to do whatever he’s asked grow his

Game and do everything he can to make his favorite team win an NBA championship so it’s great to see RJ Barrett back home ready to rock hyped to be a bot into this drona Raptor team and he discussed how he’s confident that this Raptors group with everything that

They have going on he says he’s been watching them especially as of late you know how this team is sort of built how this team is sort of constructed that they’re going to be able to turn things around he has that confidence because the Raptors right now are in a pretty

Desperate spot you know 12th in the Eastern Conference fallen down behind teams like the Chicago Bulls only game back the Atlanta Hawks who have been brutal themselves but we have a tough stretch of games coming up over the next month but RJ Barrett feels like this squad can really turn things around and

Go on a little run so I’m pretty pumped to watch this team excited to have everything rolling but let me know what you guys think because I know everyone sounding off in their opinions on this trade as I have been on YouTube here but it’s a fun time to be a Toronto Raptors

Fans we’re not sure how everything will work out we’re not sure if more moves are coming but I am definitely regard this going to be hype to watch Emanuel quickley and RJ Barrett play in Raptor’s uniforms regardless of if we win or lose their next month of games but let me
