Wish him the best. He’s a great teammate. He just needs to improve and he hasn’t. Shooters that aren’t tall and don’t do anything else are being phased out

GTJ is 6'4.50 barefoot... 6'5 in shoes. He's taller than both Bruce Brown and Ja'Kobe Walter. GTJ averaged over 1 steal per game as well. GTJ led the NBA is wide open 3fg percentage at 51.3%, shot 43% on catch and shoot 3s, as well as 39% overall on 3fg.
The signs was all over the place when the Raptors brought in Ja'kobe walter, Jamal Shead and Davon Mitchell... that in combination with Gradey Dick and Ochai means that Gary Trent is redundant and the raps have already moved on from him. His Agent should have started looking for other teams to sign him like a month ago and this will cost him the bag. Either that or they should have worked with the team for a sign and trade.
Tough spot for Gary. He clearly enjoyed being a Raptor and is a great if streaky player, but I think he'll end up regretting playing the free agency field. He's going to get lost in the mix. Hopefully he won't end up on a team full of primadonnas and end up irrelevant, but I guess we'll see. Wish him good luck.

@@jeffreym.8957 And that's fine, cause the team is currently rebuilding right now. Also, Gradey has already showed that he can be a great finisher around the rim and has a solid feel for the game at his age, something Trent has always struggled in. If he can be a consistent 37-38% shooter from deep, he already is better than Trent.

@@jeffreym.8957 As a one dimensional player and the price GTJ is asking.. it really is not a loss. Raps are better of developing what guards they have or signing a much cheaper player that can do exactly what GTJ does(GTJ is worth 12 mill max).

Not sure about RJ being a “clamping” guy on defence; he’ll definitely be vital to our drive & kick out game; I’m hoping our guys can hit the 3s on a decent clip

Grats on 35k!
Who's better now him or Oubre? Kelly just signed 8million dollar contract. One dimensional players are a dime a dozen now.
This makes sense
I think we should bring back Kyle Lowry on a minimum
Ayeee
I wonder what crazy team is willing to pay GTJ +20 million per?
Can we sign and trade him?
Good Luck Gary!!
Gary is a good guy I like him
If GTJ won’t give us that defense we saw from him in year two with raptors, then we have no use for him.
If Ja Kobe can be a legit 2 RJ can play the 3. I like what the raptors are doing. Ja Kobe is going to take a couple seasons to get is legs and 3 ball right. I want to get the best out of Scottie he needs a 3 and Starting Big. Raptors have so many assets I know we are going to make a trade before the deadline. Raptors bench is going to be amazing.

What about dick? Won't he be the starting 2/3 eventually?
Gary trent fumbled his bag with the raptors 18.5 mill is alot of money per year so for him to ask for 25 mill is crazy when he wasn't consistent with his game in the last few years.
Cant believe his agent is that far out to lunch
Sounds like they rather just give his 3s to Gradey and Jakobe this year

Im gonna go out on a limb and say GTJ would have been a more valuable trade asset -younger, better stats, more potential. BB is a soon to be 28 year old veteran with a career average of 9 points a game. Gary might not be well rounded, but he can go off for 30 and win games - he just ne a place where he will be given the opportunity to start or get like at least 25,,30 mins a night.
