Trade-deadline patience paid off for the Toronto Raptors. After choosing to sit tight as the deadline passed two weeks ago, the Toronto Raptors announced the signing of veteran big man Jason Thompson on Tuesday morning.
“Today we sign Jason Thompson,” Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri said. “We feel we needed a little help at the power forward position and he’s a guy that started probably an average of 60 games the last four or five years. [He’s a good rebounder, mid-range shooter, and just somebody to come in and fit on our team.
