CJ McCollum know players within the Raptors franchise are not happy
Nobody came into the season and said that the Raptors were going to win the Finals this season, because that just wouldn’t be realistic. However, Toronto did come into the season with an optimistic view and due to injuries and poor performances, they find themselves in a difficult spot. Do they try and keep their core from the 2019 championship team in tact, or do they decide to pull the plug and make some big time trades for their future?
NBA veteran CJ McCollum was recently on a podcast and gave his insights as to what might be going down within the Raptors franchise.
“I think in terms of what they (Raptors) need or what they are lacking, something is going to happen.”… “I don’t know what. There’s rumblings about certain players on the team not being happy and due to tampering I can’t speak to that. But I think they’re going to move someone.” – CJ McCollum
There’s no question whatsoever that McCollum absolutely knows who the the player or players that are unhappy with their current situation in Toronto. With the deadline quickly approaching, it will be interesting to see what moves the Raptors do end up making.
