"Love Toronto": Raptors' Quickley talks about pending free agency

"Love Toronto": Raptors' Quickley talks about pending free agency

When the Toronto Raptors traded for Immanuel Quickley earlier this season, it signalled the unofficial start of a new era for the franchise. While they'd lost Fred VanVleet — and several other key players over the years — due to free agency the previous summer, Toronto's blockbuster trade on December 30 was one of the first times in years the organization saw themselves as sellers. Quickley came from the New York Knicks alongside RJ Barrett in exchange for OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn, and Precious Achiuwa, all three of whom were former first-round picks and once considered parts of Toronto's young core. The Raptors, who ended the season with a record of 25-57 to finish 12th in the Eastern Conference, didn't exactly have a season to remember.
