Immanuel Quickley Rumors
Among the veterans currently being monitored leaguewide for potential inclusion in trades this offseason: Miami's Andrew Wiggins, Toronto's RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, Utah's Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson in addition to Collins, Washington's Marcus Smart and Milwaukee's Pat Connaughton.
Raptors willing to trade package that could involve RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl and No. 9 pick for Kevin Durant
League sources say the Raptors have explored a range of trade concepts that could involve a framework including any combination of RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl and the No. 9 overall pick. While nothing appears imminent, there is internal openness to parting with one of Barrett or Quickley in a larger package, and Poeltl could be included depending on the structure. Additionally, Toronto has explored scenarios involving trading down from No. 9, rather than exiting the first round altogether. A clear motivation to make changes is evident.
Raptors would be willing to trade RJ Barrett or Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl, Top 10 pick for Kevin Durant?
Will Toronto actually go beyond all the noise about their willingness to gamble on Durant without a long-term contract commitment to make a determined push for KD? Sources say that the Raptors would be willing to part with either RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley for a significant roster upgrade. Several league figures with knowledge of the Raptors' thinking have likewise asserted that they could show a willingness to move center Jakob Poeltl as well ... provided that the trade in question brought back Durant. The Raptors' No. 9 pick is also increasingly viewed as perhaps the most likely top-10 pick in the draft to be traded. My sense is that Toronto would prefer to simply trade down rather than trade out of the first-round completely. Perhaps there is some swap potential in a deal with Phoenix and the Suns' No. 29 overall selection.
The 25-year-old Immanuel Quickley has won the NBA Cares Bob Lanier Community Assist Award for April, an award which “honours the next generation of players’ commitment to positively impacting their community throughout the NBA season,” the league announced Wednesday. He has established four, four-year scholarships at his alma mater, John Carroll School in Bel Air, Md., and supported health and wellness through his participation with Courtside Care and his IQ5 Elite Youth Basketball Program.
“My mom’s always said the best thing you can do is give back and help people,” Quickley said in a news release. “So yeah, I’ve worked hard to be great on the court, but at the end of the day, it’s really about making sure it’s not just about me and doing things that matter off the court too.”

Have you spoken with any NBA players about what the transition is like? Cayden Boozer: I’ve talked to players like Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Immanuel Quickley – just guards that are there. And the main thing is just to keep working. A lot of guys like the lifestyle of it, but they don’t understand that you have to keep working when you get there to stay there. So just to keep working and stay in the moment.
