The Toronto Raptors signed forward Anthony Bennett to a one-year, minimum contract on Sunday after clearing waivers on Friday. While some followers of the team would not sign Bennett, others feel it's a good move for both sides. From Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun:

"Other than possibly having to drown out some outside noise from the fanbase, Masai Ujiri and the Raptors don’t have much to lose on this low-cost gambit. Power forward is the team’s weakest position, with Patrick Patterson the presumptive starter and veteran Luis Scola slated to back him up. James Johnson and DeMarre Carroll also could see some time there, but Bennett provides another option for Dwane Casey — an above-the-rim, open court threat who starred at UNLV and this past summer for Canada. ... For $947,276 US, what’s the downside for the Raptors? Either he keeps putting things together and becomes a contributor, or he doesn’t, at very little cost. There is no obligation beyond this season one way or the other."

Should Bennett play well with the Raptors, they will offer him a qualifying offer by June 30, which will make him a restricted free agent next July. If he struggles, they will just let him move on to another team as an unrestricted free agent next summer.
