The Raptors have converted Nate Bittle to a two-way. They are keeping the other two-way open for now, with about 100 players expected to be cut around the league. Burnett, Key, Sharp, Celestine, and Degenhart waived. Most of that group likely 905-bound if unclaimed.

The Raptors converted Nate Bittle to a 2-way contract. Speaks to what a strong impression he made in Summer League (and their need at C), considering he was in a walking boot and unable to play for camp/preseason. They still have another 2-way spot open.

How to play with pace with a non-shooting big trailing: Flare the top defender loading up toward the ball & make it difficult for the defenders behind the flare to stunt at the shooter w/o opening up a corner 3PA. Also, jumbo lineup of Siakam-Obi-Zu creates mismatch for Siakam.

The last quarters with no Center has shown what it’ll look like if Jak is out. Always needing a backup big vs these giant teams

I’d imagine since they aren’t signing Bittle or a big, they probably see Jakob healthy enough to play this year 🤞

The Toronto Raptors are converting Malachi Smith to a two-way contract, league sources told HoopsHype. Smith averaged 8.3 points on 48.5% shooting from the field and 43.5% shooting from 3-point range, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 15 games for the Brooklyn Nets last season.

The Raptors have signed Jaden Bradley to a multi-year deal. This opens up a 2-way spot for a bunch of the Exhibit 10s to compete for. Bradley was only player Raptors could add as a 14th without waiting a few weeks into the season, as your 2nd-rounder has a smaller apron hit.

I guess since there’s no staff left of the Clippers, this will be delayed even longer

Pablo found out, then the Clippers REALLY found out after the NBA hired a white-shoe law firm that was not messing around, not even a little. The language aimed at the richest owner in the league is particularly telling.

Well, thank goodness that part's done. Training camp and pre-season will be much more fun with Kawhi officially in the fold, which I imagine will be announced shortly. No suspension is a very good outcome for the Raps and also means the deal goes through as agreed with no hiccups. Let's go.

Allen Graves finished Summer League with 50/50/100 shooting splits, averaged 16.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 27.5 minutes, had 3 assists/game to 1.8 turnovers, added in 3.3 stocks (2.3 steals and 1 block), and was a +11 per game on the scoreboard. Everything you'd hope to see and more.
