I definitely agree with you that Toronto didn't view RJ's contract as "toxic", even if other front offices do per Zach Lowe. I didn't mean to suggest that they viewed it as such. It wouldn't make sense based on the details of the trade. I just see a range of possibilities for this deal, none of which approaches "toxic" territory in the case of Toronto.
In the end, it was a reasonable deal for both sides. Time will tell if it tilts in favor of one or the other. I personally hope it works out for all sides including the players. Would be a nice story if he could stay in Toronto and become an impactful player in whichever role there.

If IQ lives up to your hype and RJ becomes a player you never believed he could , then we lost this trade.

Not necessarily. One could argue that both players would’ve never reached their potential in NY no matter what. Randle was in RJ’s way and Brunson in Quickley’s. Could it have worked? Yes, maybe with a different coach. But we can’t play hypotheticals. With our style of play, this was the only possible outcome.
