Raptors Plan for NEW Acquisitions Revealed – VanVleet ADDRESSES Scottie Barnes | Raptors News

After the craziest trade season in Toronto Raptors history some Raptors fans still have questions about the future of this organization specifically with some moves that don’t make it clear on whether or not the team is embracing a tank embracing a season where they can really push for the bottom and maintain

Their draft pick or they’re going to go back to going all out in terms of making the plan getting some you know not necessarily a winning season because it’s going to be tough to get over 500 but build up a winning culture with this current young group well some answers

Have been revealed in the latest reports so we’ll discuss those particularly about some contract extensions that might be incoming for some new Toronto Raptors guys and fredman vet has spoken out on Scotty Barnes being an All-Star his relationship with this new Raptors group and some pretty interesting story

So lots of stuff to dive into in this FD but before we do folks again over 56% of our viewers are not subscribed to the channel we want to keep you posted on everything Toronto Raptor so if you don’t want to miss a thing make sure you

Hit that subscribe button but let’s dive into what’s been going on because the Toronto Raptor’s future plans have been revealed a little bit in terms of uh some latest reports the dust has settled you know and all the trade discussions everything that has come out and the

Raptor still have questions again we get it we trade away OG we trade away Pascal the Raptors are moving in a development Direction Bobby said it MSI said it Darko said it we’re trying to develop this young group and build for the future but we acquired kellyo linic

Which some Raptors fans were confused by because even though is a great player and some people you know underwrite the heck out of him just because he’s a little bit older and things like that but he’s a good player but he’s a free agent this off season why do we give up

A first round pick is it just for oai abaji what’s going on here with that potential deal what’s happening with Bruce Brown in the future and all these things well let’s diveing to Kelly oen first why he was potentially brought in and his potential future with the

Toronto Raptor because as I broke down in a video this morning Kelly oen is a guy that uh wants to be on the Raptors to close out his career right now he loves being on the the being on the team you know in his home sort of country where everything started so basically

Kelly oen is on the last year of a three-year three 37 million doll contract and his extension eligible so the Raptors have likely already sounded him on what his expectations would be for a new contract and feel good good about being able to keep him he’s about

To turn 33 in his 11th season but is still playing an extremely high level and would be a seamless fit in rakovich is smart passing smooth shooting big system or as a smart passing and smooth shooting big he’d fit in Darko system but basically he’s averaging 8 five and

Four and the assists in 20 minutes per game this season while shooting 56% from the field and a remarkable 43% from behind the three-point line and those are both career best career bests for him be interesting to see him on the floor with multiple other Shooters giving Scotty burns the floor spacing to

Attack the paint he’s never had with the Raptors so basically what’s coming out here from Michael gra from sportset is given this this trade that’s gone down the discussions that have sort of happened it feels like both sides are kind of aware of the best PA path

Forward and you combine this with Kelly o Linux quotes I mean he knows he’s a free agent he knows these discussions have been had and it’s revealed to us now that these discussions have been had about a future contract extension I’d be shocked if he sort of said hey I’d want

To be here my entire career I want to be on the Toronto rap just if he was making remarks like that no matter how big of a fan he was sort of as a torona raptor fan growing up I’d be shocked if he was saying these types of things if there

Wasn’t sort of an extension framework in place to actually go down ahead of this year’s summer or you know you’re in a position to really bring him back and maybe you wait till the offseason to figure out hey maybe we need to frontload this contract and then give us

More flexibility in the future we strike out on some free agents during the summer or maybe give them a longer term deal that uh you know is a bit more smooth or whatever sort of plans best fit the Trona Raptor’s flexibility moving forward so I project Jack Kelly

Lin an extension is either coming but definitely whether or not extension is coming a contract will definitely be coming to bring him back to the Toronto Raptors given this latest report but we have some other stuff that has sort of uh come out along these lines basically for the Toronto Raptors here and

Basically you know regarding uh oai iachi who the quotes are not popping up here now at this point but basically he’s a hard hardworking High character guy he’s a two-way player with all that fits the bill for all kinds of players that the Raptors have pursued over the

Past four years a four-year player at Kansas you get to watch develop and he started at times for Utah so we feel like he’s we’re getting a younger player with a lot of upsite and a hard worker High character so he’ll be one of those guys so more quotes coming out for

Regarding oai abaji one of them is not pulling up here so that’s unfortunate but basically the Raptors are still going that development route they’re still trying to grow these young pieces bring them all together but also have some solid players in that front court and what does this mean for the tank

What does this mean for what’s going on with the Toronto Raptors here now at this this point well the Raptors are in a position to where they’re probably going to make a run for it they’re probably going to make a push they’ll see how this group sort of goes but

There’s zero intention on actually purposely losing and tanking for that draft pick going forward so that’s the big plans bring back kyol linck make a push to sort of close out the season while also developing the younger pieces so that’s where the Raptors are moving

But let’s look at the past a little bit because Fred Van vet has come out and spoken out on Scotty Burns and the new looked Raptors now the new looked Raptors are obviously a much different team than what Fred Van vet sort of departed from you know last season so he

Had some interesting quotes especially some things that were may have been a Hot Topic you know there’s rumors there are some reports that there may have been some heat between Fred vaned as well as Scotty Barnes you know during the course of last season you know timelines not matching expectations not

Matching all these types of things well Fred vanet spoke out on basically uh you know said he was closer to the team or this is the quote here basically asked Fred Van vet his thoughts on Scotty Barnes making his first All-Star team game in his third year and he says it’ll

Be good for him to be in that locker room amongst his peers amongst other top players in the NBA so I’m happy for him he deserved it he’s playing at an extremely high level this year so some serious praise there from Fred Van vet regarding Scotty Burns talking about how

Good it is you know to be around those types of players Fred Van vet has been an Allstar for the Toronto Raptors it just puts you in another sort of I want to say Stratosphere but different heads space just being locked in around a bunch of these star guys you build that

Relationships you just build your sort of name as one of the top guys in the NBA so building up that cache is going to be huge for the Raptors lock room as well just having one of those guys that is an Allstar that has that recognition across the league especially for a very

Young dude so that’s cool to see and then Fred vanley was also asked regarding uh you know how he still feels about the Toronto Raptors and you know how he’s watching games and stuff and had a pretty sweet quote basically Fred said he was close to the team before the

Recent run of Trades but a certain Fred junr keeps pulling him back in said whether whether I want to or not my son always makes me watch the Raptors games he’s always asked me when the Raptors are playing we watch games on a daily basis he still has all the memories he

Loves being here he loves the mascot he knows the players we watch a lot of raptors games so regardless of where Freddy goes regardless how long he stays with the Houston Rockets the Fred Jr you know Fred Van V’s kids obviously are a big part of Toronto Raptor story you

Know turning us around that NBA championship series when the kid was born basically Fred Van became one of the best Shooters in NBA history for that short stretch of games but you Fred vanit could still have that deep connection to the Toronto Raptors so you love to see that you know keeping Freddy

Frederico watching these games and you know this cool quote came out from Scotty barns or a cool picture sorry from Scotty Barns and Fred vanley kind of being together after the game and you know for all the reports all the turmoil that may have happened last season that

Have you know you know people hating on Fred Van vet saying he was toxic all this type of stuff Fred Van vet is still an absolute Toronto Raptor Legend no matter how things departed I’ve always been a fan of him always will respect freder Rico and what he did bringing us

An NBA championship was a key pece had that Finals MVP vote so you know shout out to Fred shout out to him being around I wish we got to see him play last night against e Rockets we could beat Fred Van vet with him out there on

The court but I don’t know you guys the best make this far subscribe to the channel anyways I’m signing out so
