Are the dinos better? This question has been haunting me since word leaked that the Toronto Raptors had inked DeMarre Carroll to a four year $60 million contract. I REALLY liked this move for a team short on grit and grind players over the past couple of seasons. Carroll doesn’t just show he can be a grinder but he can also stretch the floor. He shot a more than respectable clip of .395 from distance last season which gives the Raptors yet another weapon in their up-tempo offense.
This signing also helps with the concern of Terrence Ross as a starter and if James Johnson’s playoff absence means he is on his way out.
