Commute to the arena ends with news Raptors add Will Barton and jettison Juancho Hernangomez in last-minute playoff eligible move
Barton, 32, last with Wizards may give Raptors wing offence deep i rotation. A nothing-ventured-nothing-gained move; Bo Cruz just never panned out – 3:56 PM

In waiving Juancho Hernangomez and signing Will Barton, Raptors let go of someone who has competed defensively but struggled shooting (25.4% from 3) for someone who struggles defensively but has shot 36.5% from 3 in 4 straight years. A reasonable gamble in low-leverage spot. – 3:34 PM

Vivek Jacob: Nurse on Barton signing: “He can play screen and roll and obviously shoot the three, those two things obviously should help us.” -via Twitter @vivekmjacob / February 28, 2023
Josh Lewenberg: The Raptors had been searching for another rotation-caliber guard. Barton gives them an experienced player that can help them in their push to the playoffs. The opportunity to play and re-establish his value was a big reason he chose Toronto over other interested teams, I’m told. -via Twitter @JLew1050 / February 28, 2023
Josh Lewenberg: Raptors make the Barton signing official, also waiving Hernangomez. -via Twitter @JLew1050 / February 28, 2023
