Report REVEALS Raptors Signing Imminent – Former Raptor SPEAKS OUT on Reports | Toronto Raptors News
A reporter has come out revealing that a Toronto Raptor signing is imminent so we’re going to break down that latest report how will affect the team moving forward and how it kind of changes the perspective on some of the moves made at the trade deadline so we’re going to
Discuss that including Dennis shudder speaking out on a recent report that has dropped about his departure from the Toronto Raptor so lots of stuff to dive into in this video but before we do folks again over 56% of our viewers are not subscribed to the channel and we
Want to keep you up to date with all of the latest Toronto Raptor news no matter where I am we want to deliver you the news different places I feel like every single video out here in Panama but news keeps coming so we’re going to keep
Delivering it to you guys but make sure you’re subscribed if you haven’t hit that subscribe button just yet but let’s dive in the first bit of news and the first thing we’re taking a look at is a raptor signing imminent now the Raptors just had the craziest trade season in
Franchise history you know in terms of the magnitude of players that ended up getting dealt as well as just the number of Trades the complete overhall the roster that we saw from this Toronto Raptors team but one of the more interesting trades was obviously the acquisition of Kelly oen as well as OSI
Abaji from the Utah Jazz in exchange for a first round pick now initially it’s a toron some Toronto Raptors fans a bit confused a bit question because the 2024 Toronto tank it is happening I forget what I sort of named this graphic will pop up here yeah the Toronto tank 2024
People have been calling for it people have been wanting the Raptors to lose in order for us to maintain that potential top six pick for this season because again if it falls out of that top six pick it’s going to the San Antonio Spurs so Raptor fans were kind of saying hey
What are we sort of trading away you know a first round selection for again aaji is an interesting Prospect he probably in his own right could have been dealt for that first round pick and it made sense but the biggest name that was coming back to the Toronto Raptors
In that deal was Kelly oin and again a Canadian Raptors fans are very familiar with this game he’s a guy that has had a really strong career over you know playing for the Celtics the the Houston Rockets he had a ridiculous season for recently but again Kelly o Lin has been
A beast over the course of his career but is not really fitting the timeline of this younger group and the fact that he’s an unrestricted free agent come this off season had some people questioning whether or not Kelly oin is a center maybe not the centerpiece but a
Key piece in a deal for a first round pick for a team that is kind of in a little bit of a rebuild in a little bit of a retool does that really make sense well maybe it does now hear more at this point because a recent report has come
Out from the the Tron star from Doug Smith saying the Raptors did not trade for free agent to be Kelly linic as a rental quite the contrary you can expect an announcement shortly but maybe in the next couple of weeks one Team official said this week but on a contract
Extension for the Scarboro born Kelly o lenck who was obain obtained from the Utah Jazz a week ago whether it’s a straight 2-year deal or two years plus an option the Raptors want to lock up the 32-year-old as quickly as they can so again aaji was probably the
Centerpiece of that deal was probably probably the main pick was the guy most people talked about was the guy most people were excited about you know in terms of that potential package in terms of what was going on but Kelly o Lin getting locked in being a guy that again
The Raptors are talking about flexibility they’re talking about these types of things I mean Kelly Lin is a piece that I think just as a throwin on a trade as a key sort of acquisition in one of these deals that’s kind of a steal for the Raptors now if he was
Going to leave in free agency for nothing go to another team then again in this season it’s kind of a because we’re probably shooting for the bottom regardless of we’re trying to win games regardless we have awesome nights like we did against the Pacers last night
Even though it didn’t result into a loss right Kelly oin him leaving for nothing would be kind of just a a note in the trade piece to Phill salary or whatever but the fact that Kelly oen wants to come back Messiah Jerry is willing to sacrifice some of his flexibility to
Retain Kelly oin for the longterm the future of the Canadian you know I think that’s huge I think because again Kelly o lck right now sure he’s going to be 33 years old come this off season and 2-year contract you know this is around the time people might start to decline a
Little bit it changes for every single player it changes for all those types of adjustments but he’s a dude that even this season you know averaging eight points per game five rebounds four assists 55% from the field 42% from behind the three-point line he 611
Shoots 40 85% from the free throw line I mean he’s the perfect fit if you want some floor spacing if you want some creation want some playmaking at that big man spot and when you have guys like Scotty Barnes guys like RJ Barrett out there on the roster this is exactly the
Type of player you want to have on your team and given the fact he’s not you know one of those Uber athletes you know the DeAndre Jordans of the world you know at that big man position where you’d sort of expect him to really decline as he sort of gets over that 30
31y old age he’s a guy that’s a floor spacer he’s quick he’s a point guard sort of grown out through high school and stuff and then had that growth spur so he kind of plays like a guard at that big man position his game you know assuming no injuries assuming no crazy
Stuff happens should a very well his style of play should age like fine wine coming to the Toronto Raptors so locking him in for another two seasons sure it might affect flexibility it might be you know frustrat some Toronto Raptors fans who said hey we should have kept that
Pick or stuff like that I think this is a very good move with the Toronto Raptors because again he’s had some monster Seasons he’s still playing like he is he was at the peak of his powers and he’s had some big playoff moments I don’t think the Raptors want to overtly
Lose want to go on a multi-year sort of rebuild where the team is just chalked the team is just losing game after game after game they want to have some decent players around uh Scotty Barnes around an RJ bar around Emanuel quickley so once they sort of blw some of the
Players we know they can be then this team will be able to sort of take that potential jump you know not necessarily the championship contention right away but back into that playoff picture and his shooting you know his splits are kind of ridiculous you know he can hit
Corner threes he can hit them for all over the court you know he can you know gets most of his threes assisted upon but can sort of create from himself as well can hit all over the basketball court so again I really like the acquisition of Kelly OIC I’m happy that
He’s likely going to be on this team long term but let me know what you guys think do you think it’s the right move to bring that Kelly OIC in the comments section down below but we got another topic to discuss another sort of uh
Thing to to bring up as a former Raptor speaks out on recent reports now Dennis shudder this was probably the most shock shocking in the sense that it kind of came out of nowhere not that he was traded or not anything like that but the fact that Raptors just salary dumped him
For straight up nothing for the right to wave Spencer Dy that’s what they sort of made this trade in order to do and dinnner shooter was our starting point guard for a huge chunk of this season so it was kind of surprising to see that sort of go down but there was Rumblings
There was some chatter that he wasn’t happy getting moved to the bench prior to the manual quickly trade you know the fact that the light at the end of the tunnel for him being the starting player on a playoff contending team you know that was sort of taken out of the mix
When they acquired Emanual quickly because he was going to be that lead guard after that trade sort of happened there’s rumors that he was frustrated about his potential role about everything that was going on well basically and again you know your classic Instagram reports they came out
Saying shooter was upset coming off the bench and asked to be moved where he came F Phill being a starter so that’s uh that’s something that came out from Michael Grange you know and Rap City ended up posting it on Instagram and obviously you know Instagram comments
They seem to get people NBA players I seem like there feels like they’re replying to those more so now than tweets and stuff like that well Shooter had to response he had uh he had to say this about gr’s report said that’s just cap lying to be relevant that’s what uh
That’s what Michael he’s responding to Michael gra report obviously Rap City sort of rep reposting it and discussing that so Dennis shooter said that it’s cap that he asked to be traded that he was frustrated coming off the bench and I get it because again I get both sides
I get why he might be frustrated we got some wi going crazy here now so I think my audio might be a little bit chocked here now at this point but I get that Dennis sh might be frustrated coming off the bench but he didn’t seem like a guy
That was a locker room cancer going to be asking for moves asking for deals or anything like that that but you know he’s a guy that you was a professional for the Toronto Raptors and uh you know I like that he’s kind of respond to rap
City he’s a guy that I really liked as a tono Raptor again didn’t fit our timeline took away some of the Guard spots some of the Guard touches we need for guys like quickly RJ Scotty these types of players but you know I like that he sort of responded Rap City he
Came out with a corny comment back saying you sold my parlay yesterday I need you to have five assists you got three bro by people got to stop talking about Sportsman people got to stop that sort of Madness but folks you guys the best make this far subscribe to the
Channel if you guys haven’t already lots of news going to be coming so we want to keep you up to date obviously Scotty’s going to be an All-Star weekend this weekend but folks I’m signing out cheers

Finally positive feelings again that I feel through this video😄
i think it's really the best thing i've ever seen, you put your heart in here😉😉😉
Ben got frustrated at the wind and that's no cap😅
Ochai is a bust
I never thought I would hear that Kelly Olynyk compared to fine wine. Red or White?
Of course Kelly shoots 28% from 3 so far with the raps. Players seem to always forget how to shoot once they become Raptors
I can't stand the sub begging..your sub to watch ratio is great yet you still mention it…..other then that great content..
I don’t believe in Grange as a source so I’m going to agree with Dennis about him making up this rumor for clout.
I know their tanking, but this team isn't looking promising so far.
NOMAD Ben
Audio was so painful! Please don't do it to us again.
To write and cover basketball, especially at the highest level, you should know the game backwards, forwards and inside out while also practicing the utmost in professionalism. Much of the Raps media is lacking in not only basic knowledge and understanding of the game, but journalistic integrity altogether.
Ben gets the bag and suddenly production drops..
Keeping Olynyk makes sense. He’s from the city and country so he’ll help his teammates enjoy playing here. He’s the captain of Team Canada and shows leadership qualities. He also has a cheerful attitude. Should help the locker room tremendously!
