Shams: Raptors Interested In D.J. Kennedy

Game6 · Post #1 » by **Game6** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 7:55 pm

The Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls are among four NBA teams that have shown an interest in swingman D.J. Kennedy, a leading candidate for the Most Valuable Player in the top German league, sources told RealGM.

Kennedy, a two-way player at 6-foot-6, played in two games for the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2011-12 season. He has since played overseas in Israel, France, Russia and now Germany.

The Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons have also reached out to Kennedy, a source said. With a deal for the remainder of the German season, Kennedy is a potential option for the summer and next season.

Kennedy started the year playing for Krasny in the Eurocup, averaging 19.2 points and six rebounds. Before Kennedy arrived to Riesen Ludwigsburg this season, the team ranked 11th place in the league. In averaging 21.1 points and 6.5 rebounds, Kennedy has propelled the team into the playoff picture.

Kennedy, 25, went to training camp with Memphis and Dallas in 2012 and 2013. He played for Minnesota in the NBA Summer League last year.

Kennedy played his college basketball at St. John's, going unselected in the 2011 NBA draft.

We seem to be interested in everyone, but not enough to actually do anything about it.

Last time a D.J. played for us, he ended up backing up D Rose

Another swingman though?
We have Deandre Daniels in the system already.

Bottom line is, someone is going to become expendable real soon...

From agent?
I am not sure we are waiving anyone this year, particularly we are already going small, and next year we probably have enough on roster with Daniels and 1st round pick joining. I think we need a big instead (from our 1st?).
