:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Former Denver Nuggets forward Linas Kleiza has reportedly agreed to an offer sheet from the Toronto Raptors.

The Denver Post cited Kleiza's agent as saying the Raptors have offered a four-year deal worth $20 million. The Nuggets, who still own his rights, have a week to match the offer.

Kleiza spent last season in Greece after playing four years with Denver. He averaged 9.9 points and 4.0 rebounds in his final season with the Nuggets and has career NBA averages of 8.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in 301 games.

This Euro hard-on by Colangelo is just insane.

[jacobdrj]

Umm, rly?

[Muser]

:lmao

It's a good time to be a basketball scrub.

:lmao Colangelo

[resistanze]

I know a guy who just moved from Slovakia who plays basketball with us. He needs to get his on this gravy train quick.

[ploto]

Omg!

[baseline bum]

Kleiza for $20 million isn't nearly as bad as Amir Johnson for $34 million.

Bryan's lucky his dad is best friends with David Stern or else he wouldn't be allowed to run a McDonald's much less an NBA franchise.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I think Bryan is more lucky his dad gave him nearly a decade to fuck up and a destroy a contending team and then build a new contender. If anyone other than daddy Colangelo owned the Suns Bryan woulda been gone way before he had the 2004 off season to make people forget about the abortion his career was leading up to that point.

The funny thing about Colangelo is, most of his drafts in Phoenix were pretty good (and they were during some bad draft classes). If he wasn't so quick triggered with trading those players away, didn't make so many other retarded trades, didn't give out so many retarded contracts, and wasn't so quick to fire Paul Westphal turning the coaching situation into a mess till 2004, Phoenix probably wouldn't have had such a giant abortion from 1996-2004.

fuck how bad can it get

[boston.balla]

sons, after drew gooden & amir johnson signings everything else is not that stunning anymore.

Lmao raptors, more of a fail than cleveland.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

ian is next to sign with raptors for 25 million

[DPG21920]

Raptors are a joke. They are going to be terrible. Nets bad.

[ploto]

I would hope that BC has a trade of Hedo worked out to do this, but I think Hedo will be on the Raptors this coming season since PJ went to visit him in Turkey.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

No one is gonna touch Hedo with a 10 foot pole

[DPG21920]

I would hope that BC has a trade of Hedo worked out to do this, but I think Hedo will be on the Raptors this coming season since PJ went to visit him in Turkey.

Who would want Hedo?

[ploto]

Who would want Hedo?

There has been interest...

[DPG21920]

There has been interest...

If there was interest, he would be gone. No one wants that contract, unless they take back a worse contract.

Generous.

[timvp]

Bustnani at $50 million might be the worst contract of the bunch . . .

[DPG21920]

At least they didn't give away Bargs. I really like the way he has come along. If he can make another jump in his game, then he can be very legit.

[DPG21920]

Bustnani at $50 million might be the worst contract of the bunch . . .

Pfffffffffff. Hater.

[resistanze]

Bustnani at $50 million might be the worst contract of the bunch . . .

Turkoglu. 55 million.

[DPG21920]

Timvp HATES Bargnani, because he has improved and puts up close to 20 PPG.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Based on how pathetic he played in Greek playoffs there is no way he is worth such a contract. Olympiacos fans probably celebrating dropping such a overpaid player.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Bustnani at $50 million might be the worst contract of the bunch . . .


Amir Johnson for $34 million is worse IMO, but yeah Turk is the worst contract on Toronto.

[resistanze]

Now I don't wish death on Colangelo, but if he happens to turn into a vegetable Terry Schiavo style, it would help a lot or people.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

And yeah I majorly scoffed Bargnani's contract last year but it's nothing compared to some other deals on Toronto or a lot of other deals in today's NBA. David Lee is gonna get a contract for more and Bargnani is a way better player than Lee.

[DPG21920]

Exactly. Bargs is not worth the number 1 pick, but he is a solid player and very reasonably paid.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Yeah he'd also play a lot better if they added a real center so he wouldn't have to play down low and could do what he's best at. He's not a terrible high post defender.

[DPG21920]

Yup. He gets a lot of crap because its cool to hate on him. He is still a shitty rebounder (although he has shown some flashes), but he is decent low post defender and the dude can score in a lot of ways. Great shot, can put it on the floor and is athletic as hell.

Only way I'm watching next year is if they rock the KBP-approved All-Euroleague lineup:

PG: Calderon
SG: Bellineli
SF: Kleiza
PF: Bargnani
C: Nesterovic

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Derozan should play more tbh

This team would not even win Euroleague. Raptors GM is a dumb ass.
