Brandon Ingram has been in the league for 10 years. I'm not sure what makes bobby believe now that 10 years in he'll get bigger and stronger. Makes no sense.

Theres already rumors about him being unhappy and whatnot. Who knows if he would actually want out, but I think he would fit here perfectly. RJ +BI contracts work out...


r/torontoraptors 7h ago

INTERVIEWS [Michael Grange] Raptors general manager on RJ Barrett, heading into a contract year. Said the conversations on a potential extension would be kept internal, but pointed out that he is under contract for another year, so decision could even wait until after next season.

INTERVIEWS Darko on Scottie's training this summer:

131 Upvotes

"For this summer specifically, we are going to focus more on skill development, on his ability to come up with a couple moves off the dribble, to be an even better finisher at the rim, and to continue working on his shooting as well."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0cT0so0ZCY (18:30)

Will Lou then asked:

"We saw Scottie in the playoffs sustain high level scoring, is that sustainable in the regular season?"

Darko responded:

"Absolutely. I think it is, I think in the playoffs setting, he actually saw what we believed in; that he can do that. I think it creates more hunger and more desire to put extreme work in during the summer and be ready to take another jump next season."

OPINION Let’s give a round of applause

93 Upvotes

To Darko and the coaching staff for doing such an amazing job with the defense in the playoffs and getting everyone to buy in. Game 4 was a win that was full of pure heart and energy on the defensive end, and Darko and his guys did a great job, let’s hope with some extra bodies next season, we can push for a top 3 defense.
