“And that’s something that I’m going to take with me to Toronto — chopping wood, carrying water. Continuing to put the work in because that’s how you get better.
It’s been one of the craziest weeks in my life forreal. I won’t lie, when I first heard where I was headed, I was like, *I don’t know if it’s going to work*. Who’s gonna be there? Where am I going to live? I just didn’t know anything. I’m literally kind of still in that moment right now, where I just don’t know. The other day I was in Toronto, I was hungry, and I had no idea where to go eat, you know what I’m saying? But I’m learning to embrace the uncertainty. I can see the bigger picture. I see the opportunity for a larger role, which was kind of a reason that it worked out for both teams. The Knicks got what they wanted, and it helped me to be in a position to show what I can do on a night-to-night basis, which I’m really looking forward to.
Actually, I’m not just looking forward to it — I’m *excited* about it. The more I get my bearings, the more I can feel myself starting to get comfortable here. **One thing I realized off the bat is that this team’s really close already, and even in my short time with the team so far, I can see myself fitting right in.** It helps that the vets, they just welcome you with open arms. They make it really easy. The culture here is amazing. I would assume just from what I’ve seen, this has got to be one of the best organizations in theleague as far as togetherness. Everybody’s really just one big family forreal. It’s really cool to see and be a part of. Knowing that they really wanted me here makes everything a lot easier. I just want the Raptors fans to know, if you’re reading this, I wouldn’t want to start my next chapter anywhere else.”

The comment about the Vets is exactly why Thad and Garrett are on the team. Between the two of them they have been traded 17 times (Thad 6 times and Garrett 11 times). They know what it’s like to start fresh and adopt a new culture. They are really important and every successful team has players like them around.
He stay
Don’t worry. He got us… 🥹
I’m reading this, IQ. Let’s Go! Welcome to the Raptors.

Sorry but the title makes it seem that IQ knew user enra6ed personally
