Raptors’ deadline-day acquisition Young adds depth without disrupting core. JLew1050 has more:

Coming into this season, team president Masai Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster had constructed a unique roster made up of long and interchangeable players, fully embracing the idea of position-less basketball, and on Thursday they doubled down on it.In advance of the NBA’s 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, Toronto acquired veteran forward Thaddeus Young from San Antonio.

Why would they? He’s on a great contract and is only 26. They kicked the tires on Indiana’s Myles Turner, but the price was steep, and the Pacers ultimately moved his frontcourt partner, Domantas Sabonis, instead.In the end, they weren’t interested in adding a big, plodding, back-to-the-basket centre just to say that they’ve got one. They tried that last year and saw how it turned out.
