Funny enough, Tyrese Maxey, a top player for the 76ers, wanted a cut of Immanuel Quickley’s new, big-time contract with the Raptors.
The Toronto Raptors have embraced the youth movement wholeheartedly. Earlier in the offseason, they reaffirmed their commitment to their youthful core when they decided to offer franchise cornerstone Scottie Barnes a maximum contract extension. Barnes was the breakout player of the previous season, but his All-Star campaign came to an abrupt end when he broke his hand.
