3 Potential Raptor Free Agent Targets REVEALED – Immanuel Quickley OUT Indefinitely | Raptors News

The Raptors have been losing a ton of games as of late and it looks like that trend is going to continue as news has come out that newly acquired point guard Emanuel quickley out indefinitely from this Toronto Raptors team so we’ll discuss that update how it affects the

Sort of pursuit of getting that top six pick in this year’s NBA draft additionally we have three potential free agent targets the Raptors could go after according to a recent article this off season so lots of stuff to sink our teeth into in this video but before we

Do folks again if you’re part of the 55% of viewers are watching the channel That haven’t subscribed to the channel just yet I mean now’s the perfect time by low on this Raptor’s team start sinking your teeth into Raptor’s news while we’re down in the dump so you can say you’re a

Die Hard you went through hard times you went through it all but let’s dive into what’s actually going on with this team is basically first bit of news is Emanuel quickle is out inde definitely so we have some we have an unfortunate update for IQ hopefully it’s not too too

Serious hopefully it’s not too too bad but basically dark rakovich came out and said directly there’s no timetable for Emanuel quickle return he’s away from the team due to personal Family Matter and without him Bruce Brown as well as jamas Ramsey as well as Javon Freeman Liberty will be the Raptor’s three

Primary ball handlers for now so things continue to stockpile things continue to get worse for the tonal Raptors at least in terms of hopes of winning any basketball games because I don’t think the Raptors planned on tanking they weren’t uh you know the the Toronto tank 2024 whatever you’ve been calling it it

Was forced upon our team after trading away Pascal and Oobi because star Scotty Burns went down with injury out for the season purle down with injury out for the season bue out for the year likely I mean a lot of our vets are out of this

Line up here now at this point RJ barretts out indefinitely as well so Emanuel quickley being added to this list further depletes a roster that was sort of in a retooling sort of mode and there’s really not a lot of Hope for wins coming into the future I mean the

Raptors right now we’ve lost eight straight games the Grizzlies continue to make a push they’re trying to to run at us with that uh that top draft pick selection and you know it’s just kind of unfortunate that they’re Lally a bunch of games as well I mean I’ve been

Hopeful the Raptors could catch the Portland trailblaze just get to the bottom five so you know the team really has a chance at you know maximizing that sort of top four selection but that’s uh that’s basically where the Raptors are at expect more losses expect more else

To pile up and let’s hope and pray the lottery balls fall in our Direction this off season but speaking of the offseason I feel like this is where a lot of raptors fans are sort of have their heads pointed to into the off season you know the the free agency period how can

We rol this roster to not be as abysmal going into next year and then bleach report understands this as well right they uh came out and basically discussed three potential free agent targets for the team entering you know free agency this here and they have an interesting

List going on so basically breaking it down the first guy they have on the list is Malik Monk and they’ve discussed how there’s a desire to build around Scotty Barnes now at this point add some shooting around him here now at this point you know with Scotty Barnes being

The centerpiece of this team not being the most shooting being the key factor in terms of his skill set he certainly improved that over this year got a little bit went a little bit down as the season went along but Malik monk is a bucket getter he can come in Off the

Bench and just be a complete microwave for your team and he’s done it on some pretty good rosters down there in Sacramento I mean for uh he’s only 25 years 26 years old as well averaging 16 points per game three rebounds five assists shooting 36% from the three-point line but takes some wild

Ones I mean those are not just casual sort of spot up threes for Malik monk he has taken some off the dribbles contested sort of J.R Smith s three-point shots and you know his stats have been really really good you know he’s continuing to go on an upward trend

Which is good to see from a younger player I mean the percentages have a you know he went from being a three-point sort of specialist you know spot up guy in Charlotte and LA to being more of an actual shot creator with the Sacramento Kings so even though the efficiency’s

Gone down a little bit he’s taking tougher shots which you want from a guy you know if you’re going to be bringing him in you know in the offseason as a contract signing and stuff you want him to be able to sort of create for himself

And you know looking at his shots we can see it straight up in the numbers for Malik monk in terms of what he’s taking right he’s shooting 46 43% from corner 3 so if he does catch those spot up shots he’s remarkably efficient and you can

See it right only 78% of his threes are assisted on so that’s not a crazy high number from some of the three-point shooters that are there across the league and he gets a bunch of buckets you know in that two-point range that number’s been going down because he’s

Been more of a shock creator for the Sacramento Kings sort of team now at this point so he can knock him down for pretty well everyone on the court is a pretty efficient guy so Malik monk would be a cool pickup but you’ll notice one thing on this list is bleach report is

Really leaning into those three-point shooting guards and the Raptors are pretty loaded in these areas now with RJ Barrett with we don’t know what’s going to happen with Gary Trent Jr Grady dick now is sort of a three-point spacing Wing we have aaji that is hopefully not

Going to be playing power forward next season and you know had a good game yesterday but hasn’t been that great as of late since he been inquired from the Toronto R just pulling it on the defensive end which is nice but is a potential three and D guy for the roster

The Raptors and a lot of the the two-ways or the 10day contracts that they’ve been picking up you know in recent weeks the Raptors are looking at a lot of these potential guards that can space the floor we also have Bruce Brown potentially on this team in the future I

For keep forgetting he’s on this team but uh you know that’s sort of a position that’s filled but we know it’s a position Messiah Jerry is trying to fill up and find a long-term fit Malik monk could be an interesting fit the other interesting guy of this list is uh

Clay Thompson listed as a potential Target for the torle Raptors Thompson do doesn’t bring it as much off the dribble as monk but he’s uh clearly on and he’s clearly on the decline but he’s also uh the most robust my goodness can I read he but he also has a more robust history

As a three-point shooter there’s a the screen is too far away from my eyes I’m not wearing my contacts but Klay Thompson again his stats they’ve been on the decline now here as of late but averaging 17 points per game three rebounds two assists for the Golden

State Warriors he’s playing a little bit better as The Season’s gone long there was a lot of questions about him being completely washed you know this offseason but I think the the Raptors would have to really overpay him in order to keep him on the roster you know

38% still good from the three-point line but down from where he’s been over the course of his career but again Klay Thompson is a dude that knocks down threes at a very very high clip so you know Cay cool to bring in probably not at the money that he’d be interest in acquiring

To potentially leave Golden State but the last name on that list is Buddy heeld who I don’t even really want to dive into his stats too much I don’t really want to uh sink my teeth into this because bleach report says healed is one of the greatest three-point

Shooters in NBA history with him olick and one of two other high-end floor spacers uh flanking barns the young playmaker would have a lot much wider driving Lanes to attack fair enough but if the Raptors weren’t interested in bringing in buddy heeld during that Pascal cakam trade I don’t think there’s

A world where he actually ends up coming to the Toronto Raptors and free agency or they’re willing to spend big money on him you know if the Raptors they could have had basically for free at this series we also have war on this team another sort of shooting guard that I

Think has some potential I don’t know I don’t think if if the Raptors didn’t acquire him in the Pascal seak trade I don’t think Buddy heal’s going to end up coming to the Toronto Raptors here now at this point I don’t think the interest is actually that high and bringing in

Buddy heeld who’s 31 years old himself he’s sneaky old here now in the NBA I guess Shooters have a long lifespan though so that’s just how it goes but the Raptors I think if there’s want a quick turnaround if the team wants to be in a position where they can get back to

Fighting for a playoff spot being in that contention sort of status next season they need to be uh beef up that sort of fourman position get a couple more athletic Defenders out there in the front Court we have a lot of shooting in the back court we have a lot of shooting

On this team around Scotty Barnes RJ Barrett you know purle also there but bring in a guy that’s a four that can defend can space the floor do those things out there in the front line and that’s sort of what the Raptors need at this point but let me know what you guys

Think about those three potential free agent Targets in the comment section down below you guys the best to make it this far subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already I’m signing out cheers
