Brought in to help the Raptors in a specific way, James Johnson's two-year run with Toronto ended in... well, we may never truly know.
Has there ever been a player on the Raptors who's inspired such devotion, in both positive and negative ways, as James Johnson? I don't know. I spent a lot of time this past year thinking and writing about Johnson (as you may have noticed), but I'm still no closer to an answer as to what exactly makes him go.
Two years ago, the Raptors identified a need. The team required a wing player who could guard all of those powerful scorers in the NBA -- your LeBron Jameses, Carmelo Anthonii and Kevin Durants -- and even play some stretch power forward.
