Raptors Discussing BIG TRADE With Utah Jazz… | Toronto Raptors News
Trade talks are heating up right now with the deadline less than a day away as reports have come out that the Toronto Raptors are currently in discussions with the Utah Jazz to send Bruce Brown to Utah and in return Toronto would receive Kelly o lenck as
Well as oai abaji from the Utah Jazz so this is pretty wild and a pretty nice swerve from all the reports that have been dropped that continuously say that the Lakers and the Knicks are the two potential teams potential destinations for Bruce Brown so we’re going to dive
Into this potential package why it could be good for the Toronto Raptors and why it might be a little bit of a risk as well so lots of stuff to dive into but before we do that folks again over what 56% of our viewers are not subscribed to
The channel so if you want to stay up to date with all of the madness going on with the Toronto Raptors right now hit that subscribe button I also want to say thank you to everyone leaving really nice comments in the last vid that we just dropped two three hours ago about
The future digest media and things like that all you guys are the best I appreciate uh you guys tuning into these vids and supporting the channel and supporting you know the future of everything we have going on here so it means the world to me it warms my heart
But another thing that warms my heart is messiou Jeri potentially making some solid trades for the Toronto Raptors that can improve this team for the future and basically news has come out that this might be the case you know dropping mid game against the Charlotte
Hornets I got the game on over in the corner there right now at this point but had to jump on this as soon as possible it’s a messy game the Toronto Raptors are clearly on their Toronto tank for 2024 it’s uh just currently the case right now for this Toronto Raptor team
But basically coming from Jake fiser what this report had to say is there’s another team to consider as a strong possibility for brown the Jazz according to League sources have discussed a framework with the Toronto Raptors that would bring Bruce Brown to the Utah Jazz
In return for Kelly oin as well as o oai baji so basically what draft Capital could be a part of this conversation remains to be seen But the Toronto Raptors have have been consistent with its messaging to rival teams that is looking for a first round pick for Bruce
Brown so that’s what sources are saying right there so again we’ve heard it all mystery teams you know the Knicks specifically attached to Evan forier and stuff like that teams are willing to offer a first- round pick to the Toronto Raptors in return for Bruce Brown that’s
Out there on the open Mark that’s something that can be gotten but MSI Jer is trying to cook up some additional pieces as well as a first round pick you know in these trade packages to increase flexibility increase the actual turn on a guy like Bruce Brown so Jake fiser
Went on to say that if o link does end up getting dealt to the Toronto Raptors it’s certainly possible the Raptors would be interested in keeping the veteran Center who helped Team Canada win gold in the 2023 FEA World Cup but he could provide us a valuable spacing
Around not but around Scotty Burns alen is an expiring contract at $11 million on his contract and could quite feasibly be rerouted to another team if TR Toronto determines he’s not going to be a part of the Raptor’s future plans the Philadelphia 76ers Miami Heat as well as
Golden State Warriors have all shown interest in Kelly o linic according to League sources Boston has also an increased its interest in terms of reunite reuniting with the big man draft out of Gonzaga but the Celtics trading for Xavier Tillman will likely Rule Boston out for o Linux so lots of stuff
To sort of sink our teeth into with this so basically with this package uh oai is Kelly will be coming to the Toronto Raptors Kelly Al could get rerouted it’s not a guarantee but would likely if the Toronto Raptors don’t view him as a piece to potentially resign in the
Future could be another sort of deal the Raptors could make along those lines so and there’s also draft Capital getting involved I’d be shocked because again oai is a guy with some potential definitely not a guy that is a insane Prospect you know insane infinite potential but definitely a guy I’d like
To have thrown into one of these deals but is not probably the level at a regular first round pick here now at this point I mean we can look at the stats here basically uh averaging right now five points per game three rebounds close to one assist only 33% from the
Three-point line but one thing about it is he is looking confident in terms of firing up those jump shots you know 24 years old 6’5 so not crazy crazy young but fits the timeline of this uh sort of Toronto Raptors team moving forward and again he sort of regressed from his last
Season with the Utah Jazz now the Jazz have sort of adjusted his minutes basically playing the same number of minutes per game you know 20 the same I gu yeah he’s started less games is the place in the Utah Jazz rotation has changed but basically his three-point
Percentage has sort of taken a dip This Year free throws basically a shooting all in general has uh taken a little bit of an noide and that’s affected his shooting or his points per game he’s increased his rebounds and stuff but hasn’t taken a major leap that I’m sure
Utah jzz Utah Jazz fans were hoping for you know when they acquired him from the Cleveland Cavaliers so what else is mean is can he shoot and we can dive deeper into his actual shooting splits you know last season he made 46% of his threes from the corner which would be a nice
Sort of piece that’s regressed to 40% on this year so he has that potential he has s shown flashes of being a decent shooter obviously he’s a solid athlete can hustle on defense does a lot of the little things out there for the Utah
Jazz so would be a guy that kind of fits I feel like the Toronto Raptor style of play but obviously you’d want him to be able to knock down the jump shots not getting a lot of bucket the free throw line or anything like that but is a guy
That I I’d like to have a sort of that throwin piece if we’re also getting a first round pick from the Utah Jazz a prospect to take a flyer on buy low as he kind of dipped and then you know maybe in his third season with a new
Sort of look team and stuff could be a nice little steal for the torona Raptors in this potential acquisition so that’s an interesting piece and then obviously the guy Toronto Raptors fans probably you know most of us being from Canada are more familiar with and that’s Kelly
Oin who himself is 33 years old which is almost crazy to say you know feels like he’s still one of the young guys coming up sprouting up in Team Canada but this season averaging eight points per game five rebounds four assists with the Utah Jazz shooting 43% from behind the
Three-point line and again you know his his numbers are always all over the place I mean a couple seasons ago for the Houston Rockets averaging 19 points and a small stretch a small sample size but we’ve seen Kelly oen go absolutely nuclear at times on the offensive V for
Whatever team you know it’s crazy he’s been in the league for a long time it’s kind of shocking to see he’s been in the league for over a decade now but he’s a really good shooter you know for a big man spaces the floor really well doesn’t
Shoot it from the corners too too much but again can be efficient his numbers are kind of all over the place over the course of his career shooting 35% from the corners here now at this point but 43% he takes a lot of those above the break threes if you haven’t heard Kelly
Story you he grew up a guard and then had that gross spur so that’s why he kind of has a nice handle for a guy that’s 611 can handle the Rock and stuff shoots a lot of above the break threes is a really good passer for his size and
A guy that is still an awesome basketball player now the Raptor is going in that rebuilding Direction a guy that’s 33 years old even if he’s a part of Team Canada and stuff is there a long-term fit maybe because I think the Raptors don’t want to be bad for an
Extremely long period of time and having a floor spacing big man that can pass that can facilitate I mean one of the big reasons Chris buet is potentially getting dealt we’ve heard in reports is because darkar rakovich does not believe in his ability to work in the Raptor offensive system passing the basketball
Hitting open Cutters and things like that so oen would definitely fit in along those lines on the offensive end his defense I think gets a little bit underrated no one would accuse him of being a great defender but is still fine for his size you know protecting the rim
And stuff a bit Nimble on his feet as well I wouldn’t mind if we kept Kelly oen as sort of a vet to sort of move forward with in the future he’s an expiring so you can bring him back you can let him walk in free agency but I I
Like kello link I’ve always liked this game I’ve always been surprised or he feels like a guy that should be on the Toronto Raptors but it’s a pretty interesting deal nice little development here as the night of the trade deadline has sort of gone on might go live later
To sort of uh preview everything that’s going to go down for the trade deadline tomorrow so keep your eyes peeled for that we’ll definitely be going live during the trade deadline tomorrow so definitely keep your eyes peeled for that again thanks to everyone that’s making some nice comments on the the

Massive!
Best trade rumour for Brown so far
Love to see the Jazz deal come through
I like Kelly, but he doesn't fit our timeline at all
Kelly O played well with RJ on team Canada bigger than Brown
They should make that trade!!
Off topic, but watching the last vid i was wondering where ryker is at. Is he no longer with raptors digest or is ge behind the scenes now?
I’d be ok with this.
Are we going after all Canadians?😅 If that's the case, there's one piece they'll need one day! ( won't happen lol)
Koyonte George for brown
No way Ainge is sending any picks over. Masai just trying to up Knicks offer.
Canada won gold at the FIBA World Cup? I thought they won bronze!
I thought Canada won bronze 🫤???
Most trade that happen are the ones are not rumoured….
Another vet for Darko to ignore? He’s too old for the Raptors anyway…
Still can’t believe one of the rumors was involving D’lo 😂
Kelly is 32. Makes no sense
Not feeling it…
Bruv I hope we actually get sum worth developing
This channel is actually amazing love it 🎉
Like this one compare to fournier..center and a 3 point shooter
Not the worst deal. Kelly would of been a nice get pre pascal trade tho. Now the value in the deal would be the pick along with oshae
Why the heck would Utah want Brown? Utah is not a contender. Makes no sense unless they just want a signed asset they can trade next year.
Been pitching for Olynic between my friends. Never someone I’ve ever really wanted to trade but his veteran leadership skills from years of holding down team Canada for this rebuild makes tons of sense
Raptors haven't had a bench for at least 3 seasons. .so why trade Brown? He's a good player and a keeper.
