3 most tradeable players, contracts on the Toronto Raptors roster
By Mike Luciano
2. Malachi Flynn
Flynn is starting to look like a draft miss, as the San Diego State product and former No. 29 overall pick has all but fallen out of the rotation in Toronto. Flynn went into Sunday averaging 3.3 points per game on 36% shooting, a sign that his finishing has never quite developed.
Even with all of his struggles, Flynn could still be a valuable and worthwhile addition to many teams. While he hasn’t quite meshed with Nick Nurse, adding Flynn as a throw-in to a bigger trade might be enough of an intriguing incentive for some team to give him one last chance.
Flynn is scheduled to make just over $2 million in each of the next 2 seasons.
The Toronto Raptors may part ways with Malachi Flynn.
Flynn needs a fresh start, perhaps with a team more willing to give him playing time and work with him from a developmental point of view. His torrid two-month stretch near the end of 2020-21 shows the type of player he can be if he evolves on the offensive end.
The Raptors will need to make backup point guard a priority in the offseason, as both Flynn and Dalano Banton appear to be falling out of favor. Barring some massive change in fortune, it looks like the former Aztecs star will start the 2022-23 season on someone else’s roster.
