Jakob Poeltl SPEAKS OUT on Siakam Trade – Quickley Injury Update | Toronto Raptors News

Following the Pascal cakam and ogn and noi trades a lot of eyes are pointed towards a lot of the Toronto Raptor’s veterans are still left on this roster to see how they’d react to the team moving in a younger direction as well as whether or not they’ll get moved

Themselves while yaka purle has spoken out on specifically the Pascal cakam trade to let us know his mindset about his potential future with the Toronto Raptor so we’ll break that down including an update regarding Emanuel quickly and an injury he sustained and why it’s sort of a has affected his play

As of late so lots of stuff to break down before we dive into that folks again over 57% of our viewers are not subscribed to the channel so mean the world to me if you guys could hit that subscribe button you guys have been crushing it hitting that sub button

We’re very close to 33,000 subscribers now at this point so mean the world to me if you guys could hit that sub button but let’s dive in the first topic of discussion the first thing we’re taking a look at is yakam purle speaking out on the Pascal yakum trade now we all know

Pascal cakam got dealt yaken skills the dynamic dual one of the most heartbreaking parts of the Demar D roen trade probably not the most because Demar obviously leaving was the you know main Heartbreaker for Toronto Raptors fans but the mild heartbreaking part of that trade was breaking up the young and

Budding Bromance of Pascal cakam and yakob purle well you know they got reunited last trade deadline everyone was hyped you know to see that duo paired back together and then the tables have turned and now yaka purle is a Toronto Raptor and locked in under a long-term contract and it was p Pascal

Cakam that was trayed away from the team you know the Bromance is broken again well Pascal seak was or sorry yakam Perle was asked about the trade and everything that went down he had some interesting things to say given the fact he just signed a contract with the Toronto Raptors and this summer

Discussed how he wants to play for a winning team so yakap PTO said this that it was tough because he was the guy I was closest to on this team I guess I was mentally prepared for it a little bit already because there were so many

Rumors but still really sad for me to basically lose my best friend on the team so again this makes sense completely makes sense from yaka purle given the fact they were tight we didn’t see as much of the romance that was like promoted during his first stint with the

Toronto Raptors but still a tough thing to see but the more juicy the more interesting stuff came from the second quote again coming from Josh lenberg basically saying you know who summarized the quote about yaka he said not necessarily you know in regards to his future of the Tron Raptors how does he

Expect you know the one thing that was important to me that is that I was on a team that could play competitive basketball as long as it’s not a team that was really actively trying to tank I guess was the thing for me like I want

To play on a team that there’s trying to win every single night so for me even though we had some changes and we lost some really good players I think we’re still in a course where we’re trying to build around this team right now and we’re not hunting for a number one

Overall draft pick you know what I mean so as long as that’s the case I think I’m going to be happy and I’m going to be contributing to this Raptor team this is a new project we are starting so interesting comments there from yakob purle obviously again these were his

This was his sentiment the summer now it was more so worded as he wants to be on a winning team you know a winning basketball and had some Raptors fans eyes a little bit turned given the fact the yaka per the Raptors were a very mid-level team last season even with

Yakob purle and then we lost Fred Van vet but he did resign to a long-term contract I mean yaka purle is a guy that’s locked in now for the next till 2027 at $20 million per year 19.5 million so you know he’s only 27 years

Old or 28 years old sorry and he’s about to enter the the prime of his career right now at this point in terms of age generally across the NBA again hasn’t improved his free throw shooting much over the course of his career but is really effective around the rim plays a

Lot of defense and things on those lines averaging 11 points and eight rebounds per game but the tanking aspect is the one thing that might be a little bit concerning given the fact the Toronto Raptors you know I broke down in a video this morning about Darko rakovich

Talking about how development is the main focus for the rest of this season and again the trade deadlines in 2 weeks and the Raptors have lost some brutal games and they haven’t really actively made moves to sort of improve their roster heading into the end of this year

I made the point that you know yakle being injured really hurts the front court on this team and the games that we’ve been losing and we’ve been losing them by significant margins even though RJ Barrett has been remarkable Scotty Barnes has been ridiculous quickly is kind of cooled off in recent games but

We’ll break down at least one reason as to why another reason is because yaka Pro’s been out and he’s not getting a lot of screen set for him to open up his shots have a Target and Diving at The Rim because when there’s a passing threat in there then you can finish

Around the basket as well much better as a smaller guard but basically the Raptors without a big seem like a team that’s currently on the tank and with the quotes coming out about the focus on development with Bruce Brown potentially getting dealt all the veterans on this

Team except for yaka pural being named in a bunch of trade rumors I feel like the Raptors at least for this year for the next 3 months I am not shocked I am predicting I am expecting a full out tank from this team I’m just expecting it I think with yaka

Purle injury you know it sort of facilitates that a little bit more they eased him back into play they don’t rush him back and maybe keep him out a little bit longer than necessarily would have been if the Raptors were super competitive I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the approach that’s been my

Theory that’s been my take on things now does that make yaka purle sort of want to leave immediately you know get out of this roster get out of this tanking group I don’t know but that’s sort of the sentiment that he’s echoed here now at this point and if that’s the case and

He wants to speed back cuz frankly I of the belief that this team won’t be great won’t be like a playoff team that should be feared in the Eastern Conference even though we can look scary On Any Given night with yaka perto back in the lineup

We are not a tanking team we are not a team that’s going to end up having high odds and keeping its draft pick in this year’s draft class so MSI jury said in his press conference at the trade deadline that he sees no reason to tank

Out this season he sees no no reason to sort of bottom out even though that might be the case Raptors fans should be patient with this group he doesn’t want to tank that’s it was his words these are the words from makaka purle and it just seems like especially with this

Injury it could be the recipe for a very midlevel season maybe the worst case scenario again maybe you could look at the bright L and say hey next year’s draft is better so we’d rather have that that pick than the Spurs but I don’t want multiple years of tanking I want to

Have all the picks in this year find a few Snipes you know find some Diamonds in the Rough in this sort of regarded as garbage draft class and you know figure it out next year not even be in the hunt for one of these bottom Lottery spots

Next season but that might be optimistic that might be you know hom me thinking RJ Barett quickly Scotty can turn this thing around quickly again I believe in yaka perto is the center of this team for the future please improve your free throws theak but beyond that you’re

Pretty solid piece for this group and if he is going to get frustrated with the tank then you know don’t be surprised M jer’s even more Cutthroat and started stealing away vets but there’s been no reports about that that’s just entirely that last part about that is uh

Speculation so let me know what you guys think about all that the next thing we’re diving into in this video is a manual quickly injury update so manual quickly will be out or is expected to be out for tomorrow’s game against the LA Clippers and this is kind of an

Indication why he seems to be a little bit slower in recent games but basically lomberg came out and revealed that he did not participate in uh practice today and Emanuel quickly has a right thigh contusion sustained an injury versus Memphis earlier this week and has been

Sore for the last few days he’s expected to miss tomorrow’s game versus the Clippers but will travel with the team on their upcoming six game Road Trip he is dayto day for now so nothing serious here now at this point but the more reason I’m diving into this because

Especially you know we’re over reactionary to our younger prospects now at this point and he he’s been putting in 12 12 and eight points per game over the last few games again solid assist numbers really the only you know rough game was against Chicago for a manual

Quickly the rest of them haven’t been great but they haven’t been horrible by any means but uh we’re expecting a lot given the fact we traded ogn and Obi and obviously Pascal in a subsequent deal but A lot’s on RJ bar and Emanual quickly on this team so some people been

Like oh manual quickly is he really that guy some we should rely upon given three games again he’s dealing with a right thigh contusion yaka purles out he doesn’t have a center Target which makes things a lot tougher on smaller guards to sort of get their games going so not

Concerned about Emanual quickly whatsoever hoping he recovers quick from this right thigh contusion and then he’s back in the lineup because regardless we’re winning losing tanking going for a chip we want our young guys healthy to get some reps get some practice get some development that Darko

Rakovic has sort of been talking about as of late so let me know what you guys think about all this in the comment section down below you guys the best make this far subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already anyways I’m signing out cheers
