While there’s some danger of Quickley being signed to an offer sheet, the expectation is that will be unlikely as Toronto is high on the point guard acquired for OG Anunoby and can match any offer, something other teams would be well aware of.

Other tidbits from this article:
On potential draftees:
>But Toronto is in a tough spot in terms of attracting players to come in for workouts because those expected to go high probably won’t come in for a team picking 19th and 31st, but a few players projected higher always fall.
On free agency:
>And if Gary Trent Jr., is allowed to walk as well, that could open up $26 million in cap space to try and make a dent in a weak free-agency class while still retaining Immanuel Quickley’s cap hold.
>Toronto also has a $10.2-million trade exception that could come in handy with many teams expected to be eager to dump salary as the league’s new salary rules become more restrictive.
Wonder if anyone drives up his price and we gotta pay the big bucks. Can see us signing him no matter what the price, but can also see a team making it a little more financially crippling for us
I just hope IQ signs before OG so we have the chance at driving up the Knicks offer without them doing the same.
Thank you wolstat for explaining the basics of basketball restricted free agency. Intrepid reporting, truly
What are the teams that might want to attempt to sign him?
Watch a team offer Quickley 30 million a year.
