Immanuel Quickley appeared to learn about the Knicks trading him to Toronto on Twitter
The New York Knicks made quite the splash on Saturday morning, acquiring small forward and defensive specialist OG Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors for two players and a draft pick.
It may seem strange the two division rivals were so quick to make a deal, but it works out well for both sides as the Raptors get to retool on the fly while the Knicks continue to make a playoff push.
Heading back to Canada is Toronto native RJ Barrett along with Immanuel Quickley — the latter of whom appeared to learn about the deal the same way the rest of us did: from an Adrian Wojnarowski post on X/Twitter.
Shortly after Woj broke the news, Knicks players began posting as if this were all brand new information they were hearing for the first time.
Oh my goodness….

It’s tough to find out this is how your team is moving you, but it’s unfortunately commonplace these days. The newsbreakers move too quickly in this league.
