Ranking all 15 Toronto Raptors players by trade value
Group 5: I'm hanging up the phone
Immanuel Quickley, Scottie Barnes
There are likely only two players on the roster who are truly "untouchable" and even then the right offer could potentially pry Immanuel Quickley away. More likely, these two players will stay together for a number of years as the foundation of the team the Raptors are building.
Quickley is signed to a large new contract that diminishes his trade value compared to when he was on a rookie deal, but at the same time it locks in cost certainty. He also had a strong second half of the season in Toronto, increasing his output while maintaining his efficiency as a shooter and scorer. The runway seems clear for him to continue improving as a starter and, hopefully, future star. His trade value will only increase as his level of play does.
Scottie Barnes is on another level, the face of the franchise who just inked a maximum rookie extension that could be as much as $270 million if he makes an All-NBA team next season. He is expensive, yes, but also extremely worth it given his two-way play thus far, his versatility on both ends of the court and his upside to continue growing as he enters his fourth season.
If another team calls with an offer for Scottie Barnes, the Raptors are hanging up the phone. His trade value is extremely high, not only compared to his teammates but in relation to the rest of the league. Few players bring his combination of youth, impact and upside. That gives him the highest trade value on the entire roster.
