Raptors in TRADE Talks for D’Angelo Russell – The REAL Reason Boucher Will be Traded | Raptors News

A recent report has linked the Toronto Raptors to a very surprising Target as apparently the Raptors are currently in talks with the LA Lakers regarding a potential D’Angelo Russell trade so we’ll break down why that could potentially make sense for Toronto and why on another hand it is really sort of

A strange report that just dropped additionally we have an update as to the real reason why Chris buet along with Gary Trent junr are probably going to get traded ahead of this year’s trade deadline more specifically diving into the Chris Buche side of things and a potential Suitor that is out there on

The market that hasn’t really been brought up too much before so lots of stuff to dive into but before we dive into that folks again over 56% of our viewers are not subscribed to the channel so mean the world to me if you guys could hit that subscribe button so

We can keep you up to date with all the madness that is going on regarding this Toronto Raptors team especially over the next couple days with the trade deadline just around the corner but let’s dive into it let’s dive into the madness because things are getting pretty wild

Here and the first thing we’re taking a look at is the D’Angelo Russell sort of trade update basically the torona Raptors right now in a recent report uh from ESPN basically Russell’s name has been mentioned in trade talks with the Brooklyn Nets the Toronto Raptors and

The Atlanta Hawks in re in recent weeks sources have told ESPN while the point guard has managed to play some of the best basketball of his career over the past 16 games since returning from a bruise tailbone d’angel Russel averaged 22 points per game on 46% shooting 45% shooting from behind the three-point

Line two rebounds six assists and the LA Lakers went 10 and six playing a tough schedule as well and there’s no ifs ANS or buts about it D’Angelo Russell has been a demon he has been a monster for the LA Lakers in recent weeks and this season it’s his entire career has been

Lots of ups and downs lots of Peaks and valleys lots of stuff going along the low lines and basically you can look at it this season in total averaging 17 2 and six so always able to facilitate always able to shoot the three he’s only 27 years old even though it feels like

Like he’s played two NBA careers now at this point you know with the Lakers with the Nets Bouncing Around The Warriors different spots the timberwol if people remember that DLo has been all over the place but one of his best assets is ability to shoot the basketball

Especially at the point guard uh sort of position if I got that sort of stuff pulled up here you know uh you know these are per game stats have been pretty steady over the course of his career I don’t have uh images brought up into basically order here now at this

Point but basically D’Angelo Russell is a guy maybe this no so d’angel Russell is a dude that can space the floor there’s times where he’s shooting ridiculous percentages from corner 3es over the course of his career that’s a graphic I want to bring up I believe it

Was close to like the 70% for Corner 3 doesn’t take a lot but uh can just knock it down from behind the three-point line no matter how inconsistent he might be so definitely a guard that is an interesting piece in my opinion still a starting point guard in the NBA no

Matter you know if he gets traded from the LA Lakers or not but why would the torona Raptors go get it why would it make sense for this Raptors team to potentially bring him in after just trading for Emanuel quickly you have Dennis shter on this Raptor roster here

Now at this point in s like Deo is a young and budding prospect that we could develop and will help help the tank this season and will grow into this whole new type of player in a couple Seasons if we sort of change the change the vibe change the perspective on him obviously

The Toronto tank to 2024 is in full effect in full swing here now at this point so why would the Toronto Raptors do it well one of the big names that uh has been constantly bringing up in recent weeks as Bruce Brown and other reporters as well and the LA Lakers are

A team that are specifically interested inquiring Brown so the contracts kind of match up regarding d’angel Russells the potential piece that can move out the LA Lakers are a team that actually might be getting Kyle Larry as well in the buyout market so there’s Roots there’s Avenues

They’re still linked into a bunch of dejonte Murray trades as well so maybe you send Bruce uh you send d’angel Russell and a pick to the trauma Raptors you bring back Bruce Brown and then you figure out some sort of way to land to jeon Murray I’m not sure about all the

Things from the Lakers side of things but it could be an interesting plan why would the Tron Raptors do it well it’ be to acquire draft Capital that would be the sort of incentivization to make a deal happen the Raptors have been known to ask for it’s been reported by Mark

Stein Shams Raptors are looking for a first round pick and a quality player uh in return for Bruce Brown that’s what they’re looking for that’s the asking price and frankly with how the trade market has gone given the fact that the Nets have turned out two first round

Picks for Dorian Smith and staying on the Nets they turned down five first round picks for male Bridges and attached gr Jaylen green like good first round picks as well I mean the market is crazy right now for These Wings the Bulls are asking for an OG anobi type of

Package for Alex Caruso the whole world is just all over the place now at this point in terms of trades for the you know NBA for three and D wi players the Raptors should be able to get what they want for Bruce Brown he’s on a reasonable contract he fit Contender

Very well so D’Angelo Russell and some draft Capital might be interesting maybe a flip dowlo to another team again the Raptors can’t add any other Assets in a potential Bruce Brown package given the fact he was just traded there’s limitations on those deals that can go

Down so I don’t know I’m not that intrigued even though he’s a good player but with Emanuel quickly to bring in D’Angelo Russell onto the squad especially if Shooters there now at this point then you also have you know Lewis and you have a bunch of guards on this

Raptor team I’m not that intrigued by it but I wouldn’t hate it I wouldn’t say it’s a the end of the world Messiah extremely fumbled if we did end up acquiring D’Angelo Russell but let me know what you guys think about that in the comments section below his contract

Is also really solid as well so not the end of the world if that ends up happening but the next thing we’re taking a look at is the real reason as to why Chris buet is probably getting dealt ahead of this year’s trade deadline and Eric K do to him as well as

Uh basically uh what’s it called Gary Trent Jr the star boy on this roster you know as to why these guys are potentially falling out of favor in the Raptor’s front office and particularly with bu out of the Toronto Raptors rotation here now at this point so what’s really going on well basically

Chris bu the season averaging six points per game four rebounds 0.4 assists it’s never been a guy that can facilitate a guy that loves to put up shots in a hurry and these types of things and you know was a dude that you know unfortunately the reality the bue he

Doesn’t have the passing Acumen to fit in with rakovic system and neither does Gary Trent Jr although his shooting is a helpful release valou for the Raptors shooter is a very very good backup point guard but that position is more important to a team trying to be good

Rather than a team that’s fine with being bad for the time being young and Porter potentially are useful to some teams at the end of an rotation is an insurance against injury and their contracts expire at the end of the season whether it’s through t cap space exceptions the Toronto Raptors will have

The means to bring in uh veterans next year to steer the young roster towards respectability and responsible play but the first sentence of that is something I found very interesting the reason that they’ve fallen out of favor in Darko system the reason that they’re sort of

Out of the mix and this sort of team is straight up they can’t pass and it’s not news it’s not news to Raptors fans that have been watching this team play they love to Chuck Gary loves to Chuck bue loves to Chuck and all these types of

Things Gary though is one of the mo League’s most elite three-point Shooters here now at this point he’s quietly shooting over 50% for the from the three-point line since January he has been a monster firing up that three balls so a guy that I he’s playing himself back into the

Hearts of a lot of Toronto Raptors fans he’s still super young again the Raptors front office doesn’t want to pay him a lucrative contract which I guess makes sense because he doesn’t do much else out there on the basketball court but he is a three-point bucket getter whereas

Bue again isn’t uh the most consistent sort of three-point shooter I mean for the Toronto Raptors just this season you know only shooting 32% 32% last year shot 29 the season prior shot 38 2020 2021 he was a beast than that 2020 2020 21 season but uh you know he hasn’t

Really taken his game to the next level so what does it mean for Chris buet again we broke it down in the video that came out this morning that he’s not going to net that much out there on the open market for the Toronto Raptors so

What could the Raptors get from him why would it make sense to trade him why does this sort of uh why are these rumors popping up well basically you’re hoping you’re hoping someone looks at Chris buet is a vet that has been on some good teams in the

NBA and wants a forward that can space the floor I could play a bit of Defense I can do his thing you aren’t worried about the passing that rakovic is sort of looking at and the Dallas Mavericks seem to be one of those teams the Dallas Mavericks are searching to trade the

Trade market for a tall four with two-way ability that AA uh spot up shooter so that is exactly what Chris buet is wouldn’t call him a great spot up shooter but he is definitely solid he plays defense he’s hustling but he’s he’s the guy maybe exception that young

That’s hustling the most out there for this Raptors group you know getting boards doing the Dirty Work I I think RJ Barrett has locked in pretty well every game as well but obviously plays a different position bue would fit that mold really well he would be I think

He’d be unlocked you know the way kba’s kind of unlocked around LCA donic I think bu would have some of those benefits because he can catch lobs he can space the floor bu is a really good basketball player I think he’s underrated and shouldn’t be just buried

In the Deep bench for this torona Raptors group but that’s kind of been the case over the course of this season you know his bad decisions led him to fall out of favor with the daray ovich system now what can we get from the Dallas Mavericks I don’t really know

Again if you could package Boo bushe and Bruce Brown in these trades then maybe it would make more sense for these uh deals to actually go down but the rules are against it you can’t package Bruce brown with any other sort of players unless you make two separate trades and

I don’t know what the legality of that type of thing is but it uh sucks to see BU I’m a f fan of him I know some people just wanted to kick him out the door and stuff but sucks to see him potentially go I get the logic

Behind it even though the Raptors need shooting and bue and Trend do provide those types of things we’ll see how it all shakes out for this Raptor group in the coming days but let me know what you guys think about all this in the in the comment section down below you guys the

Best make this far subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already I’m signing out cheers
