Jordan Hamilton signed?
Myself (March 2014):
The raptors are a tremendous young team and will win a championship in the following five years.Tags: None

We do have a full squad, which makes this move weird.
Basically, the only ways this can make sense:
1. We're signing Hamilton and stretch-provisioning somebody else - probably Landry Fields. But why stretch Landry for Jordan Hamilton? Hamilton doesn't move the needle enough to make one say "yeah, let's use the stretch provision."
2. We're signing Hamilton and trading somebody somewhere else. But we have no assets we both want to move and that anybody else wants. I can't see Masai signing Hamilton and then trading away a draft pick or something to bribe Philly to take Landry off our hands. Again, this doesn't make sense.
3. We're signing Hamilton because we're trading him. I can see this happening: we sign Hamilton and then, say, he goes to Cleveland or Minnesota to make money work a little better in the Kevin Love trade, we get a second-round pick for our trouble.

2. A trade in works is possible.
3. Can't trade a FA signed until dec15

It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.
