RJ Barrett & Immanuel Quickley Return to New York as Raptors | New York Knicks

Raptors in town pregame at 7 game at 7:30 that means RJ Barrett is back Emanuel quickley is back we showed everyone in the 150 that the Bulls tonight beat the Raptors so with quickley and Barrett in uniform W the Raptors now four and six in to trade the

Knicks with an anobi in uniform are 8-2 Barrett so far for the Raptors averaging about 20 quickly averaging about 19 so to this point things are going well for quickly and Barett individually and going better for the Knicks as a team that is through tonight’s action against

Chicago each of these guys uh making the most of their opportunity quickly getting a chance to start but the Knicks as a team with anobi fitting a perfect role our 8-2 Sor trade yeah that’s what it’s all about the Knicks made that trade to get better especially come

Playoff time they feel like Anan Obi gives them more versatility to defend at a higher level and he can go defend more positions obviously losing RJ Barrett and quickly guys you drafted guys you groomed absolutely great Guys fan favorites it’s never easy to pull off a

Move like that in the NBA but it’s obvious that the front office of the Knicks they knew what they were doing and it’s going to be a very emotional night with those two guys coming back to the world’s most famous arena they’re going to have a lot of fans cheering for

Them uh it’s going to be a fun game and a lot of bragging rights on the line in that one believe me when you get traded to another team and you come back to play that team that is a massive game and I know the players will try to

Downplay it a little bit but deep down inside that game means a lot to all the guys that were traded you know what it’s like you been especially when you went back toota first time what’s it going to be like for RJ and quickly coming back here in another team’s uniform well

They’re obviously going to want to get a win that’s the most important thing uh as a professional your job is to go out there and help your team win basketball games but for them it’s just going to be very odd you know they’re very comfortable playing in this Arena I

Remember the first time I went back in a Boston uniform to play in Minnesota you go to the right locker room I did I did it was awkward you’re saying hi to everyone you know obviously the trade left on great terms those guys were uh really close to everyone in the New York

Nick locker room so it’s going to be very emotional to see them on the other end I personally had a good game but we got our doors blown off when we went back to Minnesota we lost by like 20 or 30 points uh Minnesota really played

Well defended home court so we’ll see if the Knicks can do the same did they give you a nice evation of course they did they absolutely did it was very heartwarming very emotional for me you know I love playing in front of those Minnesota Timberwolves fans and they

Were great to me and they gave me a nice Ovation which was very nice all right so that’s a look ahead to Saturday RJ and quickley will get the same huge sure they will very popular Nicks indeed that’s the story

The New York Knicks play the Toronto Raptors for the first time since the blockbuster trade featuring OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, Malachi Flynn, RJ Barrett, & Immanuel Quickley. Bill Pidto and Wally Szczerbiak preview the matchup and how RJ & IQ have been impacting the Raptors.
