Um... what? The Raps have signed Tyler Hansbrough to a two-year deal. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/228784/Tyler-Hansbrough-Agrees-To-Two-Year-Deal-With-Raptors
Great signing imo. Not only will he be a decent third big and the fans will love him but mainly due to his contract. This truly shows the difference between Colangelo and a competent GM. When was the last time the Raptors signed a halfway decent contract for a free agent. From fringe role players ala Fields and Kapono, to starters such as Hedo Ball and extensions for his own draftees like Bargnani and Demar, BC always found a way to bid against himself and offer outrageous deals. This Psycho T contract, 2 years 6mil the second year is a team option, can actually be considered an asset or trade chip at the deadline. When was the last we said that about a free agent the Raptors signed?
If he plays above his deal than he becomes a rental for any team looking to trade for him. However the deal is small enough that he can be thrown into packages with just about any other large contract.
