Toronto Raptors Interested In D’angelo Russell? Raptors Discussed Trade With Knicks?

What’s up basketball fans welcome to the rat report it’s time to talk about the tono Raptors we’ve had an insane amount of rumors today from Bruce Brown to Dennis shudder to even Chris Buche so we’ll be discussing all of that in today’s video so if you’re ready to

Watch this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and if you wish to hit the Subscribe Button as well that’d 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 out to I was about to say Bruce Brown shout out goes out to fill gaps spoiler alert some of the trade rumors include include Bruce brown but thank you Phil for supporting this channel to your likes and comments it is

Very much appreciated now let’s talk about the first trade rumor and I found this one quite interesting it was being reported that denish Huda Kyle lri are being monitored by the Minnesota Timberwolves Toronto’s Dennis Shuda and Kyle lri who have who was recently traded from Miami to Charlotte and

Likely will be moving on Via trade or buy out our two names on the radar Finch did coach lry for half a season in Cho before he was hired to take over in Minnesota now this rumor does not surprise me the Mota Timberwolves have had an excellent season and although

They look amazing someone like Dennis would be perfect for them during the playoffs you know when their starters are resting for him to handle the ball provide some buckets also provide some playmaking as well he would be excellent excellent player for them to really kill a lot of minutes but he’s also someone

That can really really play well both as a and Off the Bench as well if they you know decide they want to put Mike connley and Dennis on or off at the same courts on the same time so it could be very interesting for a Mota’s point of

View but in terms of Toronto we know they’re going to need some assets so taking a look at the salary cap situation for Minnesota here they’ve got 12 million you know 12 13 million is around what Dennis makes Nas Reed is an unrealistic Target although I would absolutely love if the Raptors through

Let’s see one of a first round pick this year and Dennis to acquire someone like a noas he’s one of the best contracts in the he’s a modern big that any team would love to have he can block shots he can shoot threes he can hit free throws

And he just shoots well overall and he’s he’s a perfect size to he’s around 69ine 610 gives you a modern NBA very mobile for his size he would be excellent but again the Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t giving him up Kyle Anderson could be intriguing but I feel like the Minnesota

Timberwolves would have to obviously add some sort of I don’t know how many picks exactly they have to give up a ton obviously and the Rudy go bear trade but they definitely have to give up more not only considering that Kyle Anderson is an expiring contract but also just if

You’re not giving up much besides Kyle doesn’t make a ton of sense now two guys I’m looking at Sheik Milton nikil Alexander and there’s nikelle excuse me Alexander Walker now why those two names in particular I think the prize there is nil Alexander Walker Shake Milton you gonna get him as a solary

Throw and before people say the Raptors have way too many guards do keep in mind guys that we’re getting rid of essentially Gary Trent Jr Bruce Brown Dennis in this season or early next season you know assuming obviously um someone like Bruce Brown doesn’t get treated at the tree deadline but we’re

Getting rid of three guards and yes we have greedy there but it never hurts to have guys like that you know nil is only 25 years old still he still has some potential you know Shay could be someone that could possibly throw in in a trade filler next season whatever you decide

To do with him it could be very fascinating as well but we’ll see what happens with the Minnesota timber wall situation let’s talk about our next trade rumor here and this was a little bit of a surprise now this was discussing that the CH Raptors are the

Most recent team to be involved in discussions about trading for the Angelo Russell Russell’s name has been mentioned in trade talks with the Brooklyn Nets tono Raptors and Atlanta Hawks in recent weeks sech to still ESPN while the point guard managed to play some of the best basketball of his

Career now one thing I will say right off the bat I don’t buy this rumor one bit I know there’s some Dennis to Bruce Brown even trade rumors to potentially the Lakers being interested in those two guys there and that could make the salaries work right D’Angelo is making

About 17 18 million dollars but believe me when I say this the Raptors when they trade for players what they look for is good attitude good work ethic and while he may have good work ethic his attitude isn’t great it’s always been a concern and which is why you often see D’Angelo

Russell moving from Team to team and getting traded often so I don’t see the Raptors doing this this is more of a case of the Lakers leaking these kind of news because the Atlanta Hawks we know they’re trying to trade dejonte Murray and they did not want D’Angelo Russell

So even though he’s playing some of his best basketball yes in recent weeks I don’t necessarily see the Raptors trying to acquire him so again we’ll see what happens but I’m going to go on to the next rumor here not much to talk about in this room here and the next rumor was

Talking about the New York Knicks a ncks Raptors trade has already occurred but it was stating that the Knicks has spoken with the Raptors regarding Bruce Brown Grimes hasn’t been part of these conversations instead discussions have centered around Evan fornier and draft compensation for brown now one thing I

Will say if you’re just getting Evan forier again expiring contract I believe it’s a team option so it doesn’t make a ton of sense for the Chon Raptors he doesn’t have a lot of value when the Raptors do trade for players one thing they do keep in mind is it’s similar to

What they did with the Pasco yakum trade is okay if we trade for this player how much value will this player have moving forward and Evan with respect to him he doesn’t have a ton so in terms of taking a look at the salary cap situation really quickly for the New York Knicks

Here Bruce Brown around $22 million this season Evan for is realistically the only player obviously OG’s making 18 he’s not going anywhere Mitchell Robinson isn’t and Josh Hart and Dante dant chenzel simply hard I personally would love to have either of those guys but those guys aren’t coming because if

You trade Josh Hart you’re still $10 million short and they’re not trading Isaiah hartenstein or Dante dant chenzo as part of that deal so again the only logical sense it makes here is Evan for who’s making close to what Bruce Brown is making now in terms of picks the New

York Knicks have an insane amount of picks when you look at the years here from 2024 to few years down the road obviously Detroit and Washington are definitely keeping their picks this year but in terms of some of the other teams guys there’s no way that Dallas is going

To be bottom of the bottom of the bottom 10 team in the you know uh in the entire league so obviously those picks are going to come but also from the Knick’s point of view they can only have so many young players at one point so I do

Believe they will yes save those for potential you know Davon Mitchell trade maybe during the summertime but they should be a team that shouldn’t be too hesitant to give up draft picks I think you know maybe a protected I don’t know I I don’t want to throw out potential

Trades here because there’s so many so many what if questions you know 2025 20 26 first round pick would be great if the New York Knicks did include that I don’t know if it’ll actually happen let’s talk about the next rade rumor here in this was linking the Milwaukee

Bucks true Bruce Brown everyone wants Bruce Brown and this was stating that the Bucks are showing interest in Bruce brown brown is said to be a player the Bucks think highly of given his ability to impact the game in various ways on both sides of the court and we know how

Bad the Bucks defense has been the Bucks are motivated to find an immediate upgrade in favor of Pat conon and campaign two names that either neither of those names are coming back to Atron Raptors because they want young players and draft compensation which the Milwaukee Bucks simply do not have have

So again I don’t want to spend too much time on that it’d be nice if they could give us a first round pick I don’t believe they have it till much much later this decade but we’ll see what happens now the last one of the last

Rumors at least I want to address is Chris bushe you know he we heard rumors about how the Raptors may look to move him and it was being reported yesterday that the Raptors are trying to find a landing spot for Chris busher per Smith um and you know um Eric Smith I believe

Of the Raptors I’m sorry I forget his first name at the moment but this is not a surprise you know he’s got salary going into next season as well he hasn’t been playing minutes and I feel bad for Chris bua you know it could be potentially his last game he played

Yesterday and and I tweeted this you know shout out to him he’s a two professional and constantly hearing his name he didn’t have to play a blowout game as hard as he did yet he went out there and played his hard out and Chris Buche you know whatever happens moving

Forward we’ll definitely miss you from a Raptor’s point of view and as Raptor fans will definitely miss you as well but we’ll see what happens now the quickly this isn’t a rumor but quickly to touch upon this before we end the video Scotty Barnes is an Allstar yes

Sham Shia announced that Atlanta’s Tre young and Toronto Scotty Barnes have replaced Joel embiid and Julius Randall on the NBA Eastern Conference allar team now a lot of raptors fans are wondering why Scotty bornes didn’t get a lot of All-Star wots this season or excuse me

This allar time and there’s all sorts of mystery around it you know some people are saying are they lying there’s you know all sorts of things going on on Twitter but it’s nice that he’s finally getting this opportunity again he’s the first player from his draft class to

Become an Allstar and as a Raptors fan it’s been a hell of a season man it’s been a it’s been a really disappointing season but at least this is one of the few bright spots to this season that Scotty gets to play in the officer game

Also it’s going to be great for him to just go out there and play with some of these talented you know players that have been in the league for quite some time and you know maybe he starts recruting some of these players who knows it’ll be fun to see Scotty in an

All-Star Game and representing the Tron Raptors again I’m very curious to hear what your thoughts are on these rumors do you think any of these rumors have a lot of you know do you see a potentially Raptors being interested in example for D’Angelo Russell let me know your
