Immanuel Quickley Signs $175M Deal with Raptors

Immanuel Quickley has agreed to a five-year, $175 million contract with the Toronto Raptors, cementing his status as a key component of the team's young core. Acquired from the New York Knicks in December 2023, Quickley averaged 18.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game for the Raptors. The deal comes as part of a broader strategy, with RJ Barrett also secured under contract through the 2026-27 season, and Scottie Barnes expected to sign a long-term extension soon. This trade and subsequent re-signing are seen as a win-win for both the Raptors and Knicks, who each received valuable assets fitting their respective team strategies. The Raptors also added four players in the 2024 Draft to bolster their rebuild efforts. Quickley's performance significantly improved after joining Toronto, highlighting his potential as a star in a starting role.
