"McCaw might be one of the oddest NBA players to record a three-peat, being part of the Golden State Warriors' championship squads in 2017 and 2018, and striking gold once again in 2019 as a late addition to the Toronto Raptors after a failed stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers that same year. The ex-UNLV product was not a standout contributor to the Raptors' title campaign, but he was okay in limited minutes, averaging 44% field goal shooting"
"It wasn't until a year later in the 2019-20 season, post-Raptors title, that McCaw surprisingly became one of head coach Nick Nurse's darlings in the rotation, skyrocketing to an average of 27.5 minutes played per game that year. However, despite the uptick in on-court run, McCaw did not live up to the hype, averaging only 4.6 points on 41% field goal shooting, 32% from three, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.1 steals per game."
"Now if you came across this news, I bet it caught you off guard. That's totally understandable - most people (including myself) assumed that chapter of Raptors history was pretty much over after Chris Boucher and Masai Ujiri, the last remaining pieces from that era, left in the offseason. Maybe with this new development - possibly reconnecting McCaw with the Raptors franchise - we thought it was all over, but it turns out, it's not."
A G League transaction sends Kennedy Chandler to the Delaware Blue Coats in exchange for the returning rights to Patrick McCaw and a 2025 G League first-round pick. Patrick McCaw won NBA titles with Golden State in 2017 and 2018 and joined the Toronto Raptors' 2019 championship as a late addition with limited minutes. McCaw received expanded playing time in 2019-20 under Nick Nurse but produced modest scoring and shooting figures. Persistent injuries led to the Raptors waiving McCaw in April 2021. The trade reconnects McCaw with the Raptors organization at the G League level.
