Raptors Reports Continue to ESCALATE…
Toronto Raptor news has been coming in like crazy as of late as we now have what we can expect in potential returns for Gary Trent Jr and Chris bu if they were thrown up on the trade market which it seems like is the case we have an update on Gary Trent Jr’s contract
Updates you know as he isn’t unrestricted free agent this off season so some people are speculating maybe it makes sense to just bring him back also we have a Bruce Brown multiple Bruce Brown updates as a new team has been revealed as a potential Suitor and Nick
Claxon who has long been coveted by Toronto Raptors fans and apparently the Toronto Raptor front office an NBA Insider sort of discusses the potential possibility of him Landing with the Toronto Raptors this off season so lots of stuff has been coming out regarding this Toronto Raptors team if you want to
Stay up to date with it all make sure you subscribe to the channel over 57% of our viewers are not subscribed I mean that number keeps growing up because you guys have been absolutely crushing it checking out these vids coming back to all the latest news so I appreciate that
But with the new viewers rolling in it would mean the world to me if you guys could hit that subscribe button cuz we can keep you up to date with all the latest Toronto Raptors news but let’s dive into what’s been going on because Mike Scotto came on the Raptor show
Yesterday last night and basically uh or I listened to it last night and had a lot to say had a lot to say regarding potential Toronto Raptors updates and basically revealing a lot of news particularly around current Toronto Raptors and all the things I discussed in the intro so the first thing we’ll
Take a look at is basically Chris bue and Gary Trent Jr’s potential packaged returns you know on this Raptor see because again Gary Trent Jr is someone that Raptors fans viewed is someone with a lot of potential being a younger player in the NBA shooting over 40% from
The three-point line we traded Norman pow for him who’s been putting up remarkable stats for the LA Clippers and it’s just a guy that has sort of fallen out of favor week by week slowly out of the torona Raptor sense because he hasn’t taken that leap that massive step
Up I mean when we acquired him some people were comparing him to Bradley Beal and he just hasn’t taken that leap and this season particularly with a little role change particularly just even though he has been efficient from behind the three-point line just kind of taking a step back in regards to his
Scoring he never really improved his finishing around the basket his midi is uh is fine he doesn’t take as many of them this season but uh he’s a guy that just hasn’t really taken that jump and now Toronto Raptors fans this off season we expected an extension to get signed
After a report came out from Chris Haynes that indicated that an extension was imminent but now we’ve an updated on his potential future because Gary Trent Jr is a guy that apparently doesn’t have any Market whatsoever no teams are really interested in Gary Trent Jr here
Now at this point now the trade deadline still weeks away I’m sure a shooter if he gets you know MSI jury starts really selling them putting them on the phones and things like that a shooter shooting over 40% from the three-point line and has shown potential capabilities on the
Defensive end you know still in expiring contract so there’s flexibility there you’re not locked into anything crazy I mean you get something back and bet essentially mik es scato said you might be able to get a couple seconds for him right now but there isn’t a serious
Market for Gary Trent Jr and apparently Chris bue is the same way again bu has been Ro has been decreased in even more amount he’s older than Gary Trent Jor size be surprised if his Market was that much greater out there in terms of what we could get in return even though they
Were kind of talked about on equal footing Scotto basically indicated that the Raptors wanted to get anything of substance back probably packaging bé as well as Gary Tren Jr together you might be able to land something so we’ll keep a look keep our eyes out on along those
Lines I mean again if we’re going to get nothing back for the guys do we really trade them maybe a couple seconds would be cool increase your flexibility increase your assets in particularly the case of Chris bue he’s a guy that has been is going to be under contract for
The next couple Seasons so if the Raptors want to have that flexibility it might make sense to deal him away now but I’m surprised that given the lack of market for Gary trench Jr and how effective he’s been from the three-point line that there’s no discussions on
Contract talks I mean right now feels like a good time to buy low on Gary Trent lock him into a reasonable contract over the course of the next few seasons I mean I don’t know might be too high on Gary Trent Jr but we are loaded at the guard positions Messi’s been CRA
Raving about flexibility so we’ll see what ends up happening along those lines but the Toronto Raptors have another sort of shooter or not necessarily shoot shooting guard on this team that has also been involved in a bunch of trade discussions and that’s Bruce Brown so the first update we’ll give is obviously
Report came out a couple days ago regarding the Miami Heat having interest in Bruce Brown then they ended up making the Terry Rosier trade and while that’s still a possibility the interest still might be there the fit according to Mike Scot just isn’t as necessary following that Terry Roser trade even though I’d
Argue that you know bringing in Roser he’s a solid Defender but not great he’s a bucket getter having sort of complimentary role pre role piece like Bruce Brown kind of makes more sense but they’d have to give up more draft Capital which might be a risk for this
Miami Heat team so there’s less interest there even though the shatter might still end up happening with the Miami Heat but the Dallas Mavericks are a team that hasn’t really been talked about that are significantly interested in burce brown They view him as a very solid fit with that group and again we
Heard the Dallas Mavericks interest in pascos sakam and ogan anobi but obviously the price would have been too high from what the Dallas Mavericks could offer maybe now the the asking price could M what uh fit what the Dallas Mavericks actually could deliver to a team like the Toronto Raptors and
Frankly I know the Dallas Mavericks have Luca donich but given the unpredictability of Kyrie Irving in terms of availability whether it be with injuries or just off the court stuff you know regardless of what do you think of uh his off the court Antics or things like that he has been inconsistent on
The court so it might not be a RI it might not be a bad thing to sort of take a few flyers on some unprotected Dallas Maverick’s picks in the future especially if Luka donic ends up leaving we heard Trey chatter about uh Luca Don potentially asking out or leaving Dallas
If they don’t sort of clean things up for this season so you know future Dallas Mavericks first round picked along with the younger guy on that roster again we’re not getting Lively just you know anytime I mention him Dallas Mavericks fans come into our comment section not that many but uh say
That you’re delusional for thinking you get Lively so I won’t throw his name out there too too much but again Bruce Brown would be a serious fit for the Dallas Mavericks to provide some defense because they have a offensive nuclear scoring power with Luca and Kyrie when they’re healthy when they’re out there
On the court together so you know I wouldn’t mind one of their lottery picks even though probably can get something better the Lakers reportedly still have interest in Bruce Brown again all coming from Mike es Scot so Bruce Brown’s Market is serious it’s there but I feel
Like B you Jerry probably shouldn’t wait if there are s proper offers out there on the table in my opinion because deals are happening we saw it with the Terry Rosier move people are not hesitating especially with the Raptors made their moves like a month ahead of this year’s
Trade deadline people are not hesitating to sort of cash in their chips and fit their sort of roster moov so I mean if we’re trading Bruce Brown and again if we think he’s a fit long term then maybe it makes sense to keep him I I wouldn’t mind making this deal happen sooner
Rather than later but the final thing that we’re discussing in this video is Nick claxon who is a guy that again a couple seasons ago we heard rumors that Chris bu shag Nick claxon swap could potentially go down then we heard about Pascal cak and Brooklyn trade rumors
Last off or last Midway through last year and now claxon could be coming to the Toronto Raptors and all those types of things so claxon’s been long linked to the Toronto Raptors this offseason he’s an unrestricted free agent so the Raptors you know it’s free free game for
This team to potentially acquire Nick Clon now it’s unlikely he’d ever sign here if purle is still on the roster but nothing’s stopping the troner after some dealing way Perle if they think you know Nick Laxon sort of a fit I’ve seen some people talk about how hey Nick laxton’s
Not a great shooter you know he’s not a guy that’s going to floor space or anything like that so why would we really want him well again there’s two ways he could sort of uh really open up the court for your team and obviously one of them is floor spacing and not not
A lot of effective defensive centers are great at floor spacing and obviously claxon is a monster blocking shots at The Rim you know a really strong rim protector for the Brooklyn Nets but you can also do it by being a lob threat because again purle is a guy that’s a
Big Target he’s an effective picking role player because you you can dive to the rim he’s a smart basketball player but you can’t really throw crazy lobs to yakob Perle he’s not going to go up there and catch it whereas a smaller guard like uh like a Emanuel quickley
You know if he’s running to pick and roll sort of with a Nick clap the same way he used to do with Mitchell Robinson in New York you know he’s making those Dives he’s cutting around those Corners right throwing that lob threat up to Nick Claxton could be huge and again not
Flor spacing in the sense but being a guy that commands gravity out there on the basketball court could be a huge Plus for the ston Raptors team I mean Scotty Barnes the way he’s been hitting Thad young as of late too with the sort of unlocked floor it would be a really
Cool fit so what did Mike Scotto say about Nick claxon’s future and again said there’s linked there’s always a little bit of chatter but but he specifically mentioned how the Nets it’s unlikely he’d leave given the fact the Nets can offer him extra year on the contract personally I don’t think Nick
Claxon’s going to command a max deal in free agencies so it’s unlikely that he’s going to have that those types of numbers in terms of the millions ads competitive with the the Brooklyn Nets so the Raptors can carve out a fit I think Nick claxon would be an awesome
Fit for this team if we can steal him away from the Brooklyn Nets probably be the biggest free Asian signing that wasn’t already on the Toronto Raptors group in Raptors history so we’ll see if it could potentially go down keep your eyes PE for those type of rumors and
Things like that but you guys s this first subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already anyways I’m signing up cheers
The Toronto Raptors have been at the center of trade reports lately, and now we have updates on the potential returns for Chris Boucher and Gary Trent Jr., another suitor revealed for Bruce Brown and the possibility of Toronto landing Nic Claxton in the future.

I sure wish they would keep slim duck. He at least hustles.
When dick played for trent thats is telling what will happen to trent
Forget Nic Claxton! Raps should draft Purdue big man Zach Edey, the All-American has been great again and has cemented himself as college basketball’s best player for the second straight year, averaging 23.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game.
People can see Norman Powell's performance in Clippers, then Gary Trend Jr's. The front office lost the bet!
So. Bad news on Trent. Bad news on Claxton. Got it.
Clacton free agent.. sign in off season
Bro I told you that shirt to small
Gary just isn’t explosive enough, get rid of Gary and Boucher. Keep brown
do you really think , that Claxton will be interested to play for us ?, really ?
Schröder shooting.. say that 3 times fast.
Masai is 100% gonna keep Bruce Brown. I would bet my life in it
U sure love them freddy kreuger shirts
Ever since Gary changed his hairstyle he's been sucking. He needs to back to the weekend look
GTJ is still a very good player who's being used poorly. The coaches system stinks or the team is just tanking to keep the pick
Claxton cant guard bigger centers and cant shoot. Why are Raptors trying so hard to get this guy? Smfh
Claxton seems pretty happy on the Nets. He's really found his place in the league post Jarret Allen trade. Him or Jalen Duren are two centers I would love on this team. We need a defensive upgrade at center, arguably the most important position for a teams defence. Unless you have an Embiid, Jokic or Sengun who have great offensive games you may as well go after a great young player.
GTJ is one of those weird players, his three point shooting in somehow better than his field goal percentage and somehow a terrible free throw shooter for his position. I think he fits a team seriously lacking shooting at the guard spot but we don't have the defence to hide him on that end on this team at the moment
