The Toronto Raptors have a lot of unanswered questions heading into the season but if Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley become stars, everything else will slide into place
With a brief pause in Summer League for the Toronto Raptors, I figured it would be a good time to catch up on some mailbag questions. As always, if you have a question feel free to direct message me on Instagram (who seems to have most of the rebrand info already reported. It sounds like the Raptors will have tribute jerseys throughout the season to honor the team's 30th season.
I don't think Toronto can give it to Ochai Agbaji and Ja'Kobe Walter needs to see NBA playing time before he's thrown into the starting lineup. There's an outside chance the Raptors start both Kelly Olynyk and Jakob Poeltl and bump everyone down a spot, but that leaves Toronto in a weird spot when it comes to bench bigs.Trading Poeltl would be a good start.
Quickley's contract was more expensive than expected, but the fact that it's a flat rate across the contract should make it look better as the salary cap goes up over the next few seasons. Next season is a rebuilding year and we should learn a lot about this group. If Toronto isn't very good around the trade deadline, it would be a good idea to get worse. If the Raptors exceed expectations, the organization will be happy to see how this group fares in the play-in tournament.
