The Toronto Raptors Are About To Have A FIRE Sale! More Trades Coming?
What’s up basetball fans welcome to the rat report it’s time to talk about the Toronto Raptors because they may be having a fire seal now you’re probably thinking the Raptors have already unloaded ojen anobi to the New York Knicks and Pascal cakam to the Indiana Pacers how many more players maybe can
They move well there’s quite an interesting report that came out that could suggest otherwise so I’m going to be discussing that into today’s video so if you’re ready to watch make sure to give it a thumbs up and if you wish to hit the Subscribe Button as well that
Would be very much appreciated so with that being said let’s get into today’s video now as you guys know I do like to give out shout outs on my channel and the shout out for today’s video goes up to Maria Chi Sensei so Maria thank you so much for supporting this channel
Through your likes and comments it is very much appreciated now let’s talk about the chono Raptors because Matt Moore came out with a list of things he’s been hearing about every single team leading up to the trade deadline and this is what he had to say regarding the Toronto Raptors they’re not done
Word is that everyone who isn’t Scotty Barnes Emanuel quickley RJ Barrett or Yak purle is available the Raptors want to reset their timeline in terms of the age of their players curiously purle is 28 Gary Trent is a name most frequently discussed and the Lakers and Nets among
The team with interest now you’re probably thinking if the Raptors are looking to reset why would they want to keep yaka purle when you take into consideration when you look around the NB and how hard it is to find a center that is mobile that is you know a good
Defensive FLIR yes yakob has his shortcomings no doubt about that but it’s really challenging like most teams will be asking for at the very first again at the very least a first round pick which I don’t know the Raptor should be giving up at the moment I mean
He is 28 but he’s also a player that you can keep on the roster for the time being and maybe look to move on in the near future now in terms of Gary Trent JR this has been a player that has not been mentioned by Messiah jur executive
Of the ton Raptors once he’s had press conference after press conference this year last year summer trade deadline post trade deadline whatever you want to say he has yet to mention Gary Trent’s name once so it does not surprise me if the Raptors would move on from Gary
Trent Jr now the question a lot of fans may be asking is why would the Raptors want to move on from Gary Trent he’s 25 years old he spaces the floor which the Raptors desperately need they need some three-point shooting well it’s quite evident when you take a look at their
Salary cap situation now the trono Raptors heading into next season will be on the hook for $13.7 million which does not include Emanuel Quickly’s 20 at least $25 million contract and you take that into consideration you don’t have a ton of money to spend you take a look at
Gary Trent’s contract now he’s making $18.5 million and next season it’s being reported since last season that he is looking for a contract around their $20 million range now you look at that and that really complicates things so when you talk about Gary Tren J Jun he is a
Very good young player but when you talk about some of the things he’s able to bring to the Raptors is three-point shooting and that’s it he’s not a strong Defender I will say this time and time again he hasn’t improved very much in his tender with the Tonto Raptors I know
He had that season where he got a lot of steals and that fooled a lot of people that didn’t watch the Tonto Raptors because they thought he was a great defender he really was not he would gamble for Steals and yes he you know he has his limitations and he’s a good
Three-point shooter but besides that he’s not providing much for the Toronto Raptors and given how you know you see this Raptor Sally cap situation do you really want to pay someone $20 million that doesn’t do much outside of three-point shooting and you know he’s a good free throw shooter despite what
He’s shooting this year from the free throw line so I think the answer is quite evident now in terms of some of the teams that are interested the Lakers and Don Nets let’s take a look at the roster and what may Intrigue the Raptors and what players they might not want now
When you look at the Lakers I’m going to be very blunt here Austin Reza is the only player I’d probably want back but they’re not giving him up it’s quite evident and also given his contract he’s on a very Team friendly contract with the production with the type of
Production he has Austin Reeves is also a really good young player who I just don’t see the Lakers giving up reminder that they didn’t want to give up Austin re for dejonte Murray if that’s actually true we’ll see you know we’ll see it if the trade deadline passes and they don’t
Give him up for dejonte Murray but in terms of some of the other players I know people will point to Someone Like A jayen Hino again reminder that Gary Trent is making about $1 million so you would have to include other salaries in there and with respect to D’angelo
Russell ru mura even someone like a g Vincent you know it doesn’t make a ton of sense for the Raptors who take on those type of salaries for the time being R haimura has he has a really bad contract that is for the production he’s providing I cannot justify paying him
$17 million in 18 The Following season so again the likelihood that this deal gets done is very unlikely yes he is a clutch you know he’s a clutch client we know where that you know LeBron James and where those clients come from so um
In terms of this I just don’t see a deal getting done they don’t have a ton of assets they can give the Tonto Raptors and also the Raptors just aren’t really interested in some of the pieces that they may want maybe look at a three- team deal I don’t know if that’s
Actually going to happen three team deals are very rare but let’s take a look at the Nets roster and what the Raptors may want from here now taking a look at the Nets roster here again $18 million you think of someone like a Dorian Philly Smith who apparently the
Nets want two first round picks for I’m not interested in Dorian FY Smith again I I just can’t justifying players justify players making that type of money you know the type of production Nick claxon could be interesting a lot of raptor fanss want him you can sign him realistically in free agency you
Have a lot of cap space um Roy O’Neal doesn’t make sense you know Noah clownle some of their younger guys jeriq Whitehead they’re not trading again you have to include salary so unless they’re willing to attach a first round pick and maybe a Spencer dimwitty maybe again May
That’s a big maybe if that deal gets it done maybe again I don’t know it’s really difficult to see but again it it becomes very challenging considering that you know the Raptors and the Nets had tree discover surrounding Kevin Dr many few seasons ago and we saw what the
Trade discussions were like they wanted Scotty Barnes Raptor said no discussions were over understandably from both sides you know so it’s clear that the Nets aren’t really going to give up what we want and with respect to the Nets I don’t know if this makes a lot of sense
For them there are team that aren’t you know a playoff Contender and Gary Trent is the type of player that will help a playoff contending team the Nets currently are probably a eth to 11th ranked team in the Eastern Conference and I don’t know if this is the right
Move for them in fact I think a team that should really look to inquire him and it’s going to be kind of hypocritical now what I just said about the Nets is somewhat like the Charlotte Hornets you need to surround lamelo ball with some sort of talent and I think I
Actually really believe Gary Trent would be nicer so now in terms of some of the other players as well it was also being reported by basketball on next shout out to them they’ve been doing a great job as well but they were reporting that Raptor Chris Buche will most likely be
Traded by the trade deadline according to Blake Murphy Chris bu is going to have a new home at some point I can tell you in fairly certain terms that’s being explored and will probably happen by February 8th now you’re looking at this and asking yourself why would any team
Want Chris bue it’s simple he’s someone that can although he’s very inconsistent he’s someone that can come in provide three-point shooting listed at 69 again it’s a luxury to have power forwards that can space the floor for you anytime they can hit threes he’s 69 he can block
Shots for you he’s not a great be rebounder but he’ll occasionally have games well he’ll get you eight rebounds in like 10 minutes he’s a very high energy player and if I’m a playoff team I’m actually wanting to acquire Chris busher despite his salary again I want
To quickly go back on the salaries here right now currently this season you see Chris buer there making $1.7 million next season is making $10.8 million he’s also 31 years old as well and if the Raptors do trade him he will be the last player from the championship roster yes
He did not play but he’s officially will be the last player to be moved off of that roster now again I know I’m going to quickly go back on this in terms of Chris Bush’s trade value Jake L Fisher was reporting about several weeks ago that Boston Celtics have liked Chris
Buer for quite some time time so if an organization like the Celtics who are very intelligent like Chris bushie that kind of gives you an idea that there definitely should be some level of interest from other teams around the NBA as well now I going to quickly go to the
Raptors roster one more time here some of the other players obviously we could be looking at is Bruce Brown as a name we’ll definitely hear a lot of he’s he’s actually a player being linked to the r Lakers excuse me as well and then you’ve got guys like Dennis who’s definitely
Outperforming his contract and again if playoff contenders are calling I will not say no even for a late first round pick I think you that deal absolutely and at this point I think the Raptors yes you need veterans but they should definitely be looking to accumulate
Assets a reminder you can always F flip the first round picks to move up in the draft but also you can also flip those first round picks for maybe certain role players that you want to acquire in the near future so again we’ll be very interesting to see what the Raptors do
Come the trade deadline they have a lot of pieces that can be moved do I think they’re going to move every single piece absolutely not so we’ll see what happens but I’m very curious to hear what you think about these reports fromon and Gary Tren Jr would you want the Raptors
To move on from chrisb he does provide WR presence for a lot of the younger players as well he’s also been someone that’s been on the Raptors for quite some time let me know your thoughts in the comment section below and as always I do have a trivia question for you
Today and the trivia question for today is who is third in Raptor’s history in points per game so again not a reminder just points per game is it a Chris Bosch is it B Pascal cakam is it C DeMar rosen or is it D Mike James so whoever answers
This trivia question correctly first in the comment section get a shout out in my next video so that will be it for today’s video guys thank you so much for watching I’ve almost about lost my voice here I’ve had to redo this video quite a few times I’ve made some errors but if

Which Players do you see the Raptors trading? Make sure to check out the trivia question at the end of the video!
First! (I always wanted to do that!) LMAO!
B: Pascal
I think you nailed it: Trent and Boucher are the next to be moved. I can't think of any other big pieces we have a team would want.
Answer is demar derozan. Excellent video as always
Vision 6'9 has been a failure

How do the other teams have so much talent and stay under the cap? I must be missing something??
Nic Claxton would be an ideal signing this summer. Claxton/Barnes/IQ/RJ would be sick
