On February 11, Beijing time, according to the famous Shams report, the Raptors and the Spurs reached a veteran exchange deal, the Raptors sent Dragic to the Spurs, and the Raptors got Thaddis Young from the Spurs, and the Lone Ranger's pursuit of Dragic failed. Of course, it is not excluded that Dragic and the Spurs seek a buyout, and the Spurs are also interested in buying him out, when he is still expected to join the Lone Ranger and join Doncic.
Dragic and Thaddeus Young are both depressed veterans this season, and even if the Raptors play a wave of seven consecutive wins to rise to the 6th place in the East, it has little to do with Dragic. The 35-year-old has played just five games this season and has left the team for personal reasons since playing against the Pistons on November 14 last year.
Dragic has averaged 8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game this season, and his joining the Spurs is undoubtedly of little significance, the Spurs are in a rebuilding period, and more of a mentor for Murray. Of course, Dragic may also seek the possibility of reaching a buyout deal with the Spurs.
As for the Raptors getting Thaddeus Young, it is also to add a forward veteran to their frontcourt, which is naturally to help Siakam and others, and the Raptors are expected to advance to the playoffs, which also makes Thaddeus Young expected to play in the playoffs.
The Lone Ranger failed to pursue Dragic's success, but if Dragic can reach a buyout with the Spurs, there is no doubt that he will still have the possibility of joining forces with fellow Doncic.
