Following the NBA trade deadline (or “dudline” – thank you Chris Sheridan), the only way for teams to dump unwanted members of their rosters was to buy them out or put them on the waiver wire. While the Toronto Raptors were allegedly interested in several players, the only one who has come on board in this fashion is big man Jason Thompson (I say “big man” because he’s listed as a power forward/centre. The Raptors don’t need another centre, so I’m declaring him a backup power forward).
He’s seen exactly 72 seconds of game action as a Raptor, which tells us nothing, so we must speculate.
