Raptors sign Jason Thompson

The Toronto Raptors are waiving forward Anthony Bennett to sign veteran Jason Thompson for the season, league sources tell The Vertical.
Raps are so inconsistent on PF, so a good idea to get PF on the waiver wire. Always liked JT too, he was just on a bad teams and the Warriors didn't need him.
Good luck to Mr. Bennett.

Bennett now to be the #1 pick in the D-League draft and out of the D-League within three seasons
Great pick-up by the Raps.

Re: Raptors sign Jason Thompson
haha this waiving game has been fun to watch this season.
i think todays the last day a player can be waived and still be eligible to play in the playoffs
so we'll see if the wolves waive martin today, and what team picks him up and who they throw on the waiver after. same goes with bennet.

I hope Casey can sneak some minutes for him.
It is an absolute miracle the team is 20 games above .500 with a 35 year old, feast or famine, Luis Scola starting every game at PF this season, when you combine it with Jonas missing a good month+ and Carroll missing more than half the season too.

Re: Raptors sign Jason Thompson
Can't stand his face but i'll happily take him to deepen our weakest position. He was very serviceable in Sacramento.

SF is still weaker at the moment, unless Carroll can some how magically regain is Atlanta Hawks form. Doubt it happens. All I ask he can defend and hit 3's, no more of his attempts to dribble and create.
Scola can still get hot and Patterson can bring it more consistently defensively among all SF's and PF's, while spacing the floor.

Good signing. With the complete lack of depth at PF any addition is a bonus.

While I agree that player wise SF is weaker position until Caroll is back our PF situation is worse. We are starting Scola.... And can't really start Patterson because then noone will score of the bench. That being said I'd still start Patterson, better fit with JV and and Ross started scoring quite well of the bench.

He didn't fit. But great for him he got picked up. Seems like a really great guy.

Re: Raptors sign Jason Thompson
This dude is the definition of an average big man. But as far as i can remember him and Patterson were pretty solid together back in Sac Town so should be a decent pick up.

Re: Raptors sign Jason Thompson
Bennett is surely the worst ever number one pick right?

with God-given ass
Re: Raptors sign Jason Thompson
Since the inception of the lottery and excluding injured players? I'd have to think so. Actually, even with injuries. I mean, I'd take Oden's 100 games over Bennett's entire career.
