Raptors CHANGING Approach – Controversial Young Player Available? | Toronto Raptors News

If it wasn’t clear by the moves the Toronto Raptors made ahead of this year’s trade deadline they are changing course they are adjusting their approach to this year’s season and dark rakovich explained this pretty clearly in his most recent press conference so we’ll discuss that including a potential controversial trade Target for the

Toronto Raptors is a player with a lot of promise on the basketball court has been potentially made available by their team but would definitely rile some people up probably myself included if he did get end up getting dealt but this team is looking for exactly what the Toronto Raptors have to deliver so

Lots of stuff to break down in this video without further Ado let’s dive in the first topic of discussion the first thing that we’re taking a look at is the Raptors changing their approach to the season now the Raptors team obviously dealt away to their top three guys

Pascal cakam OG and and noi gone now we did bring in RJ Barrett who is looking like a steel looking like a monster for this Raptor group again Scotty Barnes seems to be the guy that the front office and the coaching staff seems have been handed the number one but I’ve seen

Debates in our comment section about RJ actually being sort of the Raptor’s centerpiece moving forward and the way he’s been playing it’s not a ludicrous argument so RJ’s obviously been a nice piece coming back Emanuel quickly has a lot of Promise a lot of potential but

We’re thin on the front Court we got a lot younger and we’ve been losing some games as of late so it’s kind of clear to anyone that’s been watching that you know even with a potential return of yakob purle this team is probably not trying to be as competitive as they want

Were with Pascal cakam and OG an anobi and given the fact that they also lose their draft pick if it falls Beyond you know outside of the top six there’s more incentive to really push for the bottom for this season so a lot of Toronto Raptors fans have speculating honestly

I’ve been out here kind of anointing that the Raptors are tanking this season and dark rakovich didn’t come out and say hey we’re trying to lose games we’re trying to do this we’re trying to do that no he didn’t say that in his press conference but was pretty clear about

The Raptor’s new approach to the season basically you know this is coming from uh practice when he was asked about Darko about his priorities for the second half of the Season basically I think the big picture of where the team is going and how we need to this team to

Develop toward the end of the season and into the summer into next season that trumps everything so if that means we’re going to play less zone so if that so we can get better at our individual defense and really focus on that then it’s going to be that we’re not going to sacrifice

Anything on our team for uh any of our development or Player Development that’s the most important thing for us establishing the chemistry between players and developing those guys on the court and off the court is the absolute priority so that’s what darkov rakovic is saying there so again a couple things

Obviously the defensive schemes raptors have thrown out a little bit of Zone it hasn’t been uh the defensive sort of schematics the chaos that sort of Nick nurse is like to run on the defensive ends you know switching up the Styles switching up the schemes and really to

You know confuse the opponents now with a younger team that that uh generally especially when you have such a dynamic defensive system I mean how many times did we discuss on these postgame reactions precious atua just looking out there kind of confused in the Raptor system even though he’s a great sort of

Individual Defender you know a guy that sort of can block shots for a smaller big man is athletic and stuff but younger guys switching it up too much will sort of uh tank your sort of defense and it’s not really improving the the fundamentals on the defensive

End at the NBA level so there’s going to probably be some shakeups in terms of the schematics the Raptors are doing but the main sort of takeaway from this is there’s nothing that’s coming ahead of development so what does that mean does that mean we’re not caring about winning

No but it means we’re focused on letting our younger guys sort of produce letting our younger guys Blossom rather than necessarily winning games and one name that I think is going to be the biggest beneficiary of this is Grady dick because he’s a guy that the front office

That Darko they have touted as a guy even when D Grady was getting no minutes getting no no run you know points throughout the season gry dick is a huge part of this future he’s going to be a huge piece of development I mean gry dick is a guy that uh basically only

Turn just turned 20 I believe or is close to Turning 20 Elite three-point shooter in college and in his recent games has actually started to knock down some of his shots get his Swagger back a little bit because he was sent down to the G league for that two two and a half

Week sort of stint where he the front office B said hey let’s get your conditioning up get your strength up get your confidence up so then you’ll be back in the rotation when they come back now I speculated three weeks ago when that sort of news came out that hey

Maybe there’ll be some big trades happening so the rosters opened up for Grady dick to get more opportunities get more minutes when he does return from this sort of strength and conditioning program with the Raptors 905 and we end up being right on that sort of

Prediction it was kind of a cryptic sort of way to say hey gr you’re not going to get any runwell OG and Pascal are still here so we’ll uh you know play them out before they get dealt and then there’s going to be a big opportunity and he’s

Been running with this opportunity again hasn’t been perfect but has been looking a lot better in recent games does this mean Bruce Brown is likely going to get dealt probably I mean this the head coach coming out and saying this does indicate to me that there is more of a

Possibility that we’re going in that young Direction Grady dick again them what does that mean for Gary Trent Jr what does that mean for Dennis shuder heck what does it even mean for yaka purle with the jonte porter there I don’t really know but it uh does definitely indicate to me that the

Younger guys are going to be getting more minutes don’t be surprised even some two-way players I guess John Porter is a two-way player but you know we’re handing the Reigns to the young guys here now at this point so we’ll see how everything sort of shakes out and

Develops in terms of run in terms of rotations over the next sort of uh couple months I guess I guess the real test will be when we figure out what’s going to happen with Bruce Brown because he’s been thrown his name has been thrown out in a ton of trade rumors this

Of late bake Dennis shuder all these guys we’ll see how it all plays out but it definitely seems like the Raptors are taking the approach of rather than winning let’s develop our guys for next season which is probably the right move at this point in the Raptor sort of

Organizational history because we uh have a younger group we have a younger team that’s not going to win a championship this year and we could be uh better off with a deeper draft pick you know a lower draft pick to ensure our odds of Landing it again the Blazers

Has been playing better uh the Hornet just trade away Terry Rosier so they’ll probably continue to be worse they might buy out Gordon hay or Kyle Lowry so we’ll see how that all shakes out but now the second half of this video which again disclaimer I’m not saying this

Should happen I’m not saying this is uh something that should be done by the Toronto Raptors but a controversial potential Raptors trade Target because basically again the name I sort of teased it there at the beginning I don’t like to sort of hype him up that that

Much you know the these segments and things like that but basically an NBA Insider from the Thunder has come out and said that the Thunder be open to trading Josh giddy for a three and D wi player would go OKC accept a giddy for Grimes do you think he’d be fit for both

Teams you know this is some again some speculative content but again the Toronto Raptors are looking to go Young and the puns are going to be bad in this one the off- thee court stuff is the first thing you have to address with Josh Kitty because it’s the reason that

He is available he’s getting booed at every single home game now in the eyes of the law he is clear he is fine now the basically if you aren’t familiar there’s an inappropriate relationship apparently between Josh Giddy and a and a girl he was dating just based off of

Ages it hasn’t been clear in terms of how old the girl was during the inappropriate relations and all that type of stuff but apparently it’s cleared in the eyes of the law the NBA is doing an investigation and we don’t have any clear insightful details to in

Order that I can actually speak on in terms of what happened here and what happened with this so he’s cleared in the eyes a all the NBA is still investigating I’m saying that a trillion times before I accidentally threw out more puns but the reason he’s being

Brought up and the reason that he’s sort of being chattered about a little bit among some Toronto Raptors fans because he is a player with a lot of potential that fits the Toronto Raptors timeline I mean he’s a guy that is only 21 years old right now he’s taking a step back

Definitely this season but given all the off the court stuff it makes sense but last year at 20 years old averaged 17 points per game eight rebounds and six assists he could be out there on the wing for the Toronto Raptors he facilitates again his three-point shot

Even in a very tumultuous season for Josh giddy has been improving last night did miss a lot of shots in that OKC game but I mean they’re looking for the Oklahoma City Thunder they’re looking for a three and D player Bruce Brown is the guy that

Kind of fits exactly what OKC could use I mean we saw Bruce Brown going to a contender in the Western Conference last season and won a championship obviously wasn’t just because of Bruce brown but definitely be a highly touted sort of player personally giving my input on it

I know for even bringing this up the comment section is just going to go crazy I would still vear away even though it’s an extremely byy low opportunity I would be very very hesitant and refrain until more details are sort of revealed until the NBA’s sort of Investigations are sort of revealed to

Go after Josh giddy but basketball-wise I do see why some Raptors fans would be comfortable picking him up despite all of the off the court stuff again I’d stay away I’d personally stay away before people are commenting about go I I don’t really want to jump into this

Whole bag of worbs but it is is a potential young star player that fits the Toronto Raptors timeline that is available so I get why some Toronto Raptors fans are you know interested in uh in going after the Skype let me know what you guys think in the comment
