Social Media Reacts
Here’s what people were saying about the news:
@LetsTalkKnicks_: “Good luck Trey, and thank you champ!”
Esfandiar Baraheni: “Jemison fills up the final 2-way spot for the Raptors. Played for the Knicks last year + has played for the Lakers in the past.”
Blake Murphy: “Another big body for Raptors depth. The 2-way spots are full for now, but those can be very flexible as far as converting a guy to standard deal or cutting someone after camp. Bittle figures to be a camp/905 factor with a chance to get in that convo.”
