The Toronto Raptors are in a bit of a rebuilding process right now, with the team still trying to become a contender following their 2019 championship. The team recently drafted forward Gradey Dick with the No. 13 overall pick, who is renowned for his shooting ability.
It seems as though rapper Drake (a huge Toronto Raptors fan), is already a fan of the acquisition. He recently posted a meme featuring the new forward on his Instagram story.
There’s no doubt that this is a hilarious meme, and it will be interesting to see whether we see the two interact next season beyond this. Gradey Dick has already stated that he wants Drake to wear his jersey, and we’ll see whether that ends up happening in the future.
Last season with Kansas, Gradey Dick averaged 14.1 PPG, 5.1 RPG, and 1.7 APG while shooting 44.2% from the field, and 40.3% from the 3PT range. He will clearly fill a huge need for the Toronto Raptors, who were bottom 5 in 3PT percentage as a team last season.
The Toronto Raptors Could Still Make Trades, But Their Front Office Is Reportedly Tough To Deal With
Besides drafting Gradey Dick, it is clear that the Toronto Raptors need to make other moves to become more competitive or kickstart another rebuild. However, it seems as though it may be tough for them to make trades, as opposing teams view them as a tough team to deal with.
“Speaking of Anunoby, there is a growing sense among executives who have called the Raptors (albeit with some caution) that Pascal Siakam may be easier to deal with than Anunoby currently. One savvy executive did mention that he felt that was a means to judge market value if and when the Raptors do decide to trade Anunoby. However, it’s fair to say front offices are pretty worn out on the attempts by Toronto to get “blood from a stone” as one executive put it at the deadline in any deal. Multiple sources have described the Raptors as frustrating to deal with. So why keep calling? ‘There are only 29 teams to work with,'” Matt More of Action Network writes.
It will be interesting to see whether the Toronto Raptors will end up making more trades. At this point, it would be beneficial for the team to pick a direction, rather than being in between competing and a rebuild.
