In today’s weird news. Tony Snell has come out publicly as being autistic (if he already did I was unaware) in an attempt to get signed to one more NBA contract. If he gets signed one more time he’ll hit the NBA’s 10 year mark to get healthcare for his family for the rest of his life. His kids are also autistic, so Tony is asking for a 10 day contract and going public with his health issues (and his family’s) in order to try and get a contract. This is a story to watch as time is running out.

I've read this news and the deadline is on Friday. If no team signs him up until Friday then he won't be qualified for the league's benefit that will definitely gonna help him and his family.

Any team that sees his situation could give him a hand and even he'll heat up the seat on the bench, that's no problem as long as he'll get that benefits that will help him and his family for the rest of their lives.

Mark Cuban might help but is there any spot on the roster?

I think they can give him a chance. Of course, they can think about the benefit that his family is going to get. He should be helped out in my opinion. Of course, there is going to be some team which can get him to just warm the bench a bit. If giving him a simple chance can actually get his family a big benefit like that, I don't think anyone should have any problem with that.

Let's see if any team actually helps him out before the deadline.

Raptors are really doing something special, they managed to get a great win. I understand that it may not be all that easy for them to get into playoffs and that will most likely will end with something that will not be all that great so it should be something that would benefit them one way or another.

I am feeling like it is going to be a bad year for them, and they will just tank eventually. They are both trying to tank but also failing to tank at the same time, which will make them not get a good draft pick. Look at Spurs and Pistons, they are tanking like true kings, I have never seen a team tank this well since Sixers did it during the "process" period, and now these two teams are having an all time fight for the bottom place.

It's not so much as tanking as they are bad. If you've watched them play they didn't dump people to be bad, they are playing theor young players which in turn comes with a lot of losses. No young team ever really does that great. Philly was just playing the system. Raptors have enough good players to win so.e but not enough to be good. The worst place to be in for a team.

After a lot of losses, the Raptors were able to do good enough in the last match to win against the Bulls. But before that, they had to suffer a lot and lose a lot of matches. And yes it is true that when a team has only young players, it is really hard for them to actually succeed. You need experience in the team.. and only experience also can be harmful. You need a good balance of youth and experience. That's what I think.
