Mailbag! Immanuel Quickley's RFA status & how long until the Raptors are competitive again?

Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1564, Sean Woodley goes solo to entertain some Toronto Raptors questions from you, the listeners, about Immanuel Quickley, the length of the Raptors' rebuild/retool, and much more. Off the top, Sean digs into a question about Immanuel Quickley's pending RFA status and whether there is a number that the Raptors would walk away from should some team come out of the woodwork with a massive offer sheet this summer. The number would have to be very high, one would think, not the mention how unrealistic it is that the someone might come with a godfather offer so rich it would make the Raptors balk. Fear not the RFA boogeyman! Next, Sean discusses when the Raptors might power out of their ongoing retool and into a competitive window, and makes the argument for why 2025-26 feels like the season where things might really start clicking -- but could it happen as soon as next season? Plus, which former Raptors role players would fit in well on this team? Could RJ Barrett end up being a better player than IQ? Would it be better for the Raptors to be an all-offense, no defense team, or to have a little more balance? And more!
