Stein/Fischer: Toronto willing to deal RJ Barrett, IQ, Poeltl for Significant Upgrades // #9 Available

WuTang_OG · Post #1 » by **WuTang_OG** » Mon Jun 16, 2025 2:45 pm

Will Toronto actually go beyond all the noise about their willingness to gamble on Durant without a long-term contract commitment to make a determined push for KD?

Sources say that the Raptors would be willing to part with either RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley for a significant roster upgrade. Several
league figures with knowledge of the Raptors' thinking have likewise asserted that they could show a willingness to move center Jakob Poeltl as well ... provided that the trade in question brought back Durant.

The Raptors' No. 9 pick is also increasingly viewed as perhaps the most likely top-10 pick in the draft to be traded. My sense is that Toronto would prefer to simply trade down rather than trade out of the first-round completely. Perhaps there is some swap potential in a deal with Phoenix and the Suns' No. 29 overall selection.

IQ being moved would actually surprise me - feels like his value is at an all-time low and is only going to improve especially with his contact being flat.

sounds like we are making a play for KD here with any of these guys involved.

Absolutely cooked if we’re giving up the 9th pick for Durant.

This feeling a lot like the last days of the Bryan Colangelo era which led off with the Shaun Marion and Rudy Gay trade....

We also need a point guard that is capable.

Sounds like the deal we offered to Suns ....Yak/RJ or Quick/9th pick for KD/29th pick.....Sounds like we already made that offer for KD....Wonder if that will get it done but i won't be shocked if it does...

On top of creating a new hole in our roster while filling in another hole.

Something you'd normally see from Bryan Colangelo's never ending wheeling and dealing

I'm not liking the smell of desperation. Hopefully Toronto is being leveraged.

Please don't be shortsighted Masai. Make a trade that is in the best interest for the Raptors LONGTERM. We are trusting you lol.

How would a package for Morant and Edey coming back look like?

Nobody knows what actually was offered, if Toronto is actually offering anything. Please dont take rumours and present them as facts.

PHX wants Booker back at SG only. Could make sense they want IQ

Ja, BI and Durant will be sitting behind the bench, cause each one of them is injury prone. This cannot be the plan.

If I was the Suns, I would be asking for Quickley, Poeltl and #9 for Durant.

But I don’t see the fit with the Raptors with Ingram.

Thats deff a legit report....Them guys are in the know know in the NBA....These players are 100 percent on the table, and the 9th pick is on the table....Thats prolly the package we offered the Suns for KD based on this report....I won't be shocked if Suns take that offer as well...

I was 99% joking, thought it was obvious slipping Chomche in there.

but if it happens.. can only laugh.
