NOVEMBER 26: The Raptors’ deal with Bembry is now official, according to the NBA’s transactions log.
NOVEMBER 22: The Raptors have reached an agreement with free agent swingman DeAndre’ Bembry, ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweets.
It’s for the veteran’s minimum and the second year isn’t guaranteed, The Athletic’s Blake Murphy tweets. He’ll receive $1,737,145 next season with $1,977,011 for the non-guaranteed second year.
Bembry became an unrestricted free agent with the Hawks decided to not extend him a qualifying offer. He’ll provide a little more depth on the wing for the Raptors.
Bembry was the No. 21 pick in 2016 and has spent the last four seasons in Atlanta, but didn’t have a notable season in 2019/20, averaging 5.8 PPG and 3.5 RPG on .456/.231/.542 shooting in 43 games (21.3 MPG).
Toronto reached an agreement on Sunday with one of its free agents, Chris Boucher. They’re also signing former Suns center Aron Baynes.
Adam schefter reporting nba news is weird. For some reason I’m more thrown off by this then Shams reporting trump had COVID. Idk why lol
Who??? Oh yes, the guy Marcus Smart almost knocked out. Why not just re up Hollis-Jefferson??? Don’t understand the Bembry signing.
Anytime I watch a ATL game, Bembry makes a bonehead play and amazed the coach doesn’t pull him out ASAP. We’ll see whether NN can work magic with this player like he did with Hollis-J.
That beard though… got to mention this guy brings some serious beard game. It may be sapping energy from his brain cells, but it looks pretty monster. If only he can find a way to pair decision making with his monster beard swagger, he could be a real player.
