The Clippers lead Raptors 58-57 at half. Dennis Schroder leads Raptors with 11; RJ Barrett and Jontay Porter with nine each. Kawhi has 16, but he’s paid for that. – 11:34 PM

More on this storyline
After RJ Barrett’s 4 ½-season rollercoaster ended in New York, Carmelo Anthony called the third overall pick a “bland” player and personality who probably wanted to leave because he was the third wheel. “He’s just a bland player, bro,” Anthony said on his digital series show, “7PM in Brooklyn”, on Thursday. “That’s not a shot. That’s not disrespect. I ask a lot of people who are Knicks fans to see what they say, it’s just like, ‘He’s good, he gets it done sometimes, but he’s not an exciting player.’ You don’t know if he’s going to get 4 (points) or 26.” -via New York Post / January 13, 2024
Michael Scotto: What’s interesting, I think with the OG talks, was that wasn’t necessarily the package the Knicks thought would get it done. They had different conversations from what I was told, certainly with RJ Barrett being the focal point as a Canadian guy going to Toronto. The thought originally was it was going to be multiple draft picks (with Barrett). Instead, Toronto valued (Immanuel) Quickley more than those picks. That’s how Quickley essentially ended up being in it, and I would say the equivalent of two first-round picks in the eyes of Toronto. You get him under restricted free agency control. They think he’s a starting-caliber guard for that team, and he’s thrived since. -via HoopsHype / January 12, 2024
How is the morale of the roster after landing RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley? Gary Trent Jr: “It’s exciting. It’s been fun. Obviously, we still want to continue to figure it out. That’s everybody – myself, Scottie [Barnes], Pascal [Siakam], — we’re all dealing with adding players to our team that can help us and all try to mesh. It’s already been cool. I’ve known RJ and Quickly since we’ve been 15 years old. It’s already transpired as a full-circle moment. It’s crazy to come back and be a part of the same team with them. Obviously, I’ve been competing against them for so many years. But I’ve known them from age 15-16. Me and Quickley were on the Team USA teams when we were in high school (U-17 World Championship team). I’m familiar with his family, and his family is pretty close to mine. Our aunties are cool in the sense. That’s cool, though.” -via SportsKeeda / January 11, 2024
