    P Will is a guy that just makes sense. 22 3/D player who is surprisingly similar to a young OG. Same height and similar wingspan but a better free throw shooter. He fits the timeline and could be moved down to the 3 where he's probably better suited anyway, with Scottie being the more positionally versatile player. Just imagine how nasty a lineup up IQ, RJ, PWill, Barnes and maybe Poetl (depending on if he stays or not, could be replaced with some upgrade worthy centers in this free agency class) and have Dick come off the bench as a 6 man. He definitely would complement our core 3.

    Hello Raptors digest I am new to this and I just subscribed as well. I would like to know as a Raptors fan since 1995 I understand that when the trade deadline comes and goes there will be no trades. What I don't understand is when does that lift? I'm still puzzled on that can they make trades as soon as the playoffs start question mark or do they have to wait for the season to be over including the playoffs
    Also I would like your opinion on Wiseman being a free agent I believe he was a top five pick and I'm wondering what your opinion is on his ceiling because he is so young and if he could help the Raptors he's only 23 years old. Thank you for your time and I enjoy your show every single time you're on

    Depending what they do with Browns option, they could have like 39 million in cap. They could use a chunk of that to sign a free agent then use the birds to exceed cap to sign Quickley. Get the Barnes extension done so the books are squared for 25'(When his first like 40mil year would kick in). If theres a good free agent thats willing to come to come to the Raptors then they probably decline the Brown option. No free agent, maybe they pick up Browns option in hopes to trade him off a bounce back season. I just dont see the Raptors be willing to give Gary the big extension he qualifies for unless they can take advantage of the new extend and trade rules. Maybe Gary takes a much smaller deal they have bird rights with him as well. Itll be interesting to see how close to that first apron that Raptors will be willing to push to get or keep players.
