The Raptors apparently said no thanks because of Gibson’s slightly more expensive and shorter contract, and the fact that they are clearly in search of a more small ball hybrid forward type with more long range shooting and scoring ability like Thad Young or Markieff Morris.
The Raptors may have a new power forward come Thursday, but it won’t be Taj Gibson.
