This is INSANE… Raptors Linked to Darius Garland Trade… | Raptors News
there’s an insane trade report that has come out linking the Toronto Raptors to Allstar guard Darius Garland and MSU Jerry is no stranger to making a big swing getting his named involved in all these blockbuster trade rumors but Darius Garland after a Down Season be a really questionable fit on the Raptors given our recent acquisition of Emanuel quickly so we’re going to break down what this report is saying cuz the Raptors are named amongst a bunch of other teams whether or not it makes sense for the Toronto Raptors to make that push to a Quire Darius scarland and how we could get involved in this deal without necessarily quitting on the Emanuel quickly experiment as him the leag guard for this Raptor group but still get some Assets in one of these big Blockbuster trades with the Cleveland Cavaliers so lots of stuff to dive into cuz frankly I was shocked when I saw the Toronto Raptors linked in these deals because the Garland rumors they’ve been going on for a little bit here now at this point so let’s basically give a little uh breakdown in terms of what people are saying regarding this whole situation cuz I divorce from Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers could lead to greener pastures for Garland and this is coming from Evan demarel from Forbes a Cavaliers is also beat guy but professionally and financially for der scarland if your part ways from Cleveland but it depends on two things the first is if Garland and his Camp pull the trigger on a trade demand when Mitchell likely ends up resigning with Cleveland and the second is if the Cavaliers entertain Garland’s demand or if they try to smooth things over keeping together everything they built up to to this point in hoping their next head coach can maximize Garland’s Encore potential alongside Mitchell so where’s all this coming from why are people so interested in Darius scarland because it felt like his name wasn’t talked about as much this season he was an All-Star a couple years prior but his numbers definitely took a hit this most recent season with the Cleveland Cavaliers and we could take a look at it here right now 18 points per game three rebounds 6.5 assists you know 1.5 uh Ste 1.3 steals a night three turnovers a game those aren’t the All-Star numbers he was putting up the season prior still shooting 44% from corner 3es you know only 65% of his threes are assisted upon so he’s creating a lot of those three-point shots himself meaning he’s much more of an elite shooter than some of the spot up guys out there in the league so he can space the floor he can facilitate he can do a lot of things out there on the basketball court and he’s only 24 years old so really fits at Scotty Barn’s timeline but the stats definitely took a decrease last season it’s the reason why people are discussing his requests coming with Donovan Mitchell likely staying back according to recent reports and everything that’s going on here and the Raptors were directly named as one of the few teams that could get involved in a Darius Garland trade so let’s basically bring up that report essentially things will probably come to a head in the coming days and several League sources have shared with the WR down elucid that Garland demands a move at to an Eastern Conference Team the magic the Nets the Wizards and the Toronto Raptors could all enter the conversation if it expands the entire NBA similar sources shared the Spurs the timberl and the Jazz as well as the Pelicans could send Cleveland their trade proposals so again nothing crazy CU there’s a lot of teams Linked In this list but the fact that Toronto Raptors were even named makes me very interested because one it gives shows an indication of Darius garon’s value this could be a alltime by low sort of opportunity for the Toronto Raptors cuz you look at his contract and given the stats we just saw there is a lot of money for a guy that’s just just averaging 18 points per game six assists just going off of his most recent season obviously in previous years Derry scarland looked much better as a facilitator just the ball in his hands more often so you know JB bicker staff definitely didn’t get the most of uh the talent that they had down there with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Moy Jared Allen Donovan Mitchell as well as darus gar then however you would think about Max stru Isaac auro and these types of guys Caris LT as well as an interesting piece they had a lot of personalities to Mage and Darius Garland was not getting optimized uh the right way so basically Darius Garland the projections are he could leave he go to different spot and it allows teams that you know may have felt like it’s a pipe dream to potentially trade for Darius Garland a season ago feel more and more inclined to say hey let’s really Buy Low let’s dive into this opportunity but the Toronto Raptors being named is really interesting because obviously Emanuel quickley is the guy the Toronto Raptors picked up during uh the trade deadline season you know a month before the trade deadline line to be the starting point guard of the future he’s a restrictive free agent this off season so why on Earth would they make a deal for U you know a guy in Darius Garland when IQ himself is putting up fairly similar stats and is on the rise you know 17 points per game four rebounds five assists he’s a bit older than Darius Garland which is crazy to say but obviously Garland has had more opportunities over the course of his career you know his turnovers are lower he’s shooting 39% from the three-point line still similar amount of his shots are assist upon so he’s a more efficient shooter at least in regards to last season and defensively you look at the eye test the things like that I mean IQ is a guy that seems just uh bigger more athletic 6’3 a couple inches in height has a longer wingspan and stuff IQ which is shocking to look at in terms of the numbers had the better season than Darius Garland last year so why on Earth would the Raptors make one of these deals and frankly I don’t really know I don’t because obviously Cleveland’s not g to give him up for nothing no matter how much darus Garland demands a trade asks outout and stuff like that so the Toronto Raptor is making a move giving up a ton of assets that would be required in order to get a Darius Garland to make one of these deals happen just doesn’t really make sense unless the torona Raptors lose Emanual quickly in free agency which I don’t think it’s going to be the case because you bring him in with the understanding that you’re going to resign him sign him back and we have an idea in terms of what Quickly’s contract will look like and this come from Mike Scot that quickly was offered around1 million per per year earlier in the season by the New York but was looking for closer to the $25 million annually now the Toronto Raptor is a bit more experienced under his belt as the lead guard that seems like a completely reasonable contract for the torona Raptors to offer up to Emanuel quickly we have the cap space especially uh you know if we make some moves there to do it we don’t even have to make moves we’ll have that money to provide to Emanual quickly out there in the off season we have his rights all these types of things Emanual quickly I fully expect to be back on the Toronto Raptors in the future so where else could the Toronto Raptors be named be listed in these reports why are they even linked in the situation probably in my opinion it’s to facilitate a different deal going down obviously when you’re in these three team talks when you’re in these types of discussions you want to ask you want to get the the feel for how much the big name will look you know would cost would be able to bring in all that type of stuff but this report continued to go on to say that of course the Cavaliers will uh initial problem will be what can they get return for Garland a possible trade may have to expand to a multi-te deal for Cleveland to get a star level return for the Star level talent that they’re sending out that’s where things get messy and hopefully for the Cavaliers sake a trade demand doesn’t come from Garland’s Camp right now Cleveland has zero intention of trading Garland and they’d like to keep it that way so again trade demands put Force A team’s hand to accept some deals that aren’t really that optimal for the specific organization but it seems like if a deal is going to go down it’s going to be a multi-team offer for Darius Garland and we’ve seen Messi Jerry’s fingerprints all over the rumors the reports the Damen Lillard trades the KD trades all those types of things in the past so I would not be shocked especially with the Toronto Raptors are open about how they’re retooling rebuilding their roster if a big trade happens whether it’s Darius Garland you know Donovan Mitchell these types of guys not necessarily the Raptors acquiring the biggest name in that trade package but the Toronto Raptors getting involved making calls being involved in the discussions to see if we can you know the last blockbuster trade that happened the Cleveland Cavaliers the Brooklyn Nets were able to acquire or sorry the they were able to the last blockbuster trade Cav were involved in they acquired the secondary pieces you know those James Harden deals with uh Jared Allen and Carol silver ended up going to to Cleveland and those types of deals forget what that package was but they landed Jared Allen in that deal and end up getting an All-Star so I could see Messiah jurry trying to play a role like that in one of these big deals but let me know what you guys think in the comment section down below you guys the best thing far do you want to see Dar scarland on the Toronto Raptors let me know but frankly I’d much rather run with IQ given the cheaper price and uh just the the potential even he’s a little bit older I’m excited to see what we can run with in a manual quickly but let me know in the comments you guys the best I’m signing out cheers

Not realistic
Quickley for Garland? Do it immediately!
You see why no star player want to come to the raptors, the raptors don't want to give it time like the Boston Celtics, let trad every one
It's not an official Cavs news report. It's a reporter's speculation on a potential trade made up in his own head. Cleveland already came out and said they weren't trading their core four – Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, and that came from Cavs Bball president Koby Altman.
mmmmm idk i already like quickley though
Unless it's a back up point gaurd role an I don't see that happening..
No
IT'S unrealistic. Trade
BRUCE BROWN and JALEN McDaniel This will happen more likley😮
I’m sick of the smokescreens this offseason with every team in US saying you know Toronto is out there? We have a very good 3 we need to put the right kind of players ( shooters, defensive specialists) to make them as good as possible so we can see how good they can be? That is what the 19, 31 picks are for and same for FA. Imagine FA being 8 mil to Jalen Smith and 4.85 to KLow. He can be your vet guy and backup PG. Can you see a bench of KLow, Ochai, Gradey, Kelly and Jalen . We need to build up the roster not waist assets in a risky play when even if I lands well we are still a few players away.
Trading for Garland would be like raptors trading for Chris paul during the Kyle lowry era. CP3 arguably was probably the better player but would he have been the right player? Fit is crucial here, i like garland but IQ fits better especially given that we a point forward in scottie who also needs the ball in his hands
Quickly over garland
This would be sick, move EQ to SG which is natural position.
Trade trent jr and Brown.
Draft a lob threat and defensive stopper.
The raptors are apparently linked to every name that comes up in trade rumours. I'll believe it when I see it
No, Quickley plz😢
Masai is no stranger to getting the Raptors involved in the rumours. Yes, the RUMOURS.
