$24M for Jason freakin' Kapono? That's just ridiculous. Every shooter should sign with the team that has Shaq on it for one year and then cash in after they set a career-high in three-point percentage.
I guess there is always a sucker out there.

The best news is that second round pick from the Raptors looks better already :hungry:

... back a couple years ago when he could have been had for the league minimum.
So you don't think Bosh can demand doubles and and create open shots for his teammates?
And Raptors won't try to overpay Oberto.Quote:

He's a good player but nowhere near $24M.
Look, I already said they are spending alot, but you have to be realistic. The Raptors really need a SF, and most of the guys out there are restricted or not interested in going to Toronto. Jason will fit in there very well with the guys they have and chemistry has been the strongest suit for the Raptors this past year. When you have the MLE, what good does it do to hold back 1/4 of it when you don't have many roster spots to fill?
Not true.Quote:

I think that was your fantasy overtaking reality :)
I think that ploto is right, Kapono signed one week before the training camp.Quote:

Raptors fans reaction about this signing, overpaid is the most used word in this thread...
So much for that report on them saving the MLE for Pietrus.
He's more a of a tweener. And Jamison is easily one of the worst defensive starters in the NBA.Quote:
