Bird rights is my guess.


It’s for the vet minimum, he’ll be a UFA after the season ends.

Nope he's still going to be an RFA

Interesting. How does that work off a vet minimum contract?

Probably has something to do with him rejecting the QO from the Warriors and signing only a 1 year contract. Probably a rule made to stop players from cheating the system and rejecting QO's just to sign a 1 year deal and be a UFA the next off-season

From Bobby Marks' article after the trade:

Because McCaw signed a one-year contract, the guard will be a restricted free agent in the offseason.

Rich teams usually get richer, I guess raps are one of this teams. RFA status off a <800K contract. How sweet.

That and the moose signing , raps getting that status love.

Be funny if he was traded back to the warriors.
Am all for inside knowledge of warriors dynamic.

Last , all this could fall easily on the agent, cavs do a fav for agent, agent hits up masai

I like his energy. Looks extremely quick with the ball.

Delon Wright replacement?

That trade is trash. No reason for Washington to do it.

McCaw steps into norms role .. Beal starts SG ... Danny green moves over to starting SF

Championship time

decent signing, but it would have been nice if we could wait and see if anyone interesting got bought out

Trash and it doesn't even work salary wise

Whats funny about this is that if McCaw stayed with the Warriors, he wouldve had more money on a guaranteed contract. I hope all of this was worth it, but I sense red flags on this guy. Also, I dont think he is better than anyone on the team except MAYBE Malachi.

This is not a roster move that people need to be excited about, if McCaw is playing important minutes for the Raptors at any point in time this season that will mean that things have taken a serious wrong turn with our roster.


i agree with you in that this is probably a roster move that doesnt really matter too much (especially in the short run) but i just love the irony of your comment when your name is literally "the hater" lmao

so he's an RFA after this season? maybe this is a move for next year when we let delon walk.

This could be a real steal for the Raps. I like it.

And if it doesn't pan out, we don't really lose much.

I watched him in summer league as a rookie and he was easily the best player on the court, so I'll forever be biased even though rational-me knows SL shouldn't mean anything.

If that's all this is, it's still a plus. And the next trade or signing is an upgrade over Malachi, that's a plus.

If we weren't contending, sure, but with this current team? I don't really get it. He's not good enough to get playing time here right now (provided CJ Miles has finally stopped getting PT) and he doesn't shoot (which is this team's greatest need).

Interesting nonetheless.

This signing is essentially zero risk and gives us a chance to get a young player into our development program. I’m intrigued.

Imo he's not really worth a roster spot, just like Lorenzo Brown wasn't worth a roster spot.
