Raps get even better defensively. Giannis going to wake up in cold sweats thinking about OG, Barnes, Siakam, Thad and the ghost of Marc Gasol building walls against him.

What cap relief? Young makes 5 millions less and also expiring, respect for the Spurs for accommodating a plyer wishes and paying for it, high class organization except for POS Bruce Bowen.

with the Dragic acquisition does that mean Satronsky gets bought out? if so he would be one of the best buyout candidates in the league for contenders, he can help some teams this year!

Thaddeus Young is one of my favorite non-star players. Super happy to see him hopefully getting out of purgatory.
But wow Toronto already has like 200 Thaddeus Young types on their roster. He's basically a poor man's veteran version of Scottie Barnes.
I can't wait to watch a Siakam/Barnes/OG/Thadd (with Trent or Fred or whoever) lineup though jeesh. This really is the all 6'8 wing lineup we've been dreaming of since the 80s.

Dragic will be bought out? What sense did this trade make for the spurs? Just doing Thad a favour?

this doesn't work in the trade machine, raptors would need more salary coming back. Zach Collins?

Dallas is waiting with open arms. Dragic will add some nice guard depth.

I do think there was some kind of promise that they'd trade him somewhere he could play, even if they couldn't get an asset for him. I think they expected to be able to get something for him. The FRP is a solid get

So have the Raptors reached peak form yet by creating a entire roster of 6'6- 6'10 wings?
