Rumor: CHI trades Johnson to Raptors?

[Who]

I don't like this move for Toronto. They are already stocked athletic wings who can't shoot (Derozan/Weems/Wright). Why do they need another?

It's just about adding some more talent to the roster. I don't think they cared what position or skill-set arrived ... just that they got someone with potential to be a long term fixture.

That said ... James Johnson is a good fit because Toronto are getting the crap kicked out of them by big wings on a regular basis. Neither DeRozan or Weems are capable of matching up against small forwards, especially talented offensive players at that position. They are just too small and too weak defensively.

Adding another SF with legit size will help Toronto matchup better against opposing teams (especially with Kleiza out for the season) and make them a better team in the short term.
