    Making its way around Toronto today. Looks like Linas Klieza is the target with a chunk of the MLE. Denver already a tax team and needing help at 4/5 not likely to match.

    Not enough.

    Olympiacos (or another Euro team) will pay him more

    Wow...

    Remember when everyone used to think Bryan Colangelo was a top flight GM?

    LOL

    Denver lost some serviceable players over the last few years IMO. Dontaye Jones (sp.) and Kleiza, two players I wouldn't mind having on the Rockets.

    It's not a bad deal...but I don't see how he helps the Raptors at all. A tweener forward backup isn't going to do much for them.

    Which is good for the Raptors. Kleiza should just stay in Europe.

    I am going to spend the next 7 days in the fetal position praying that the Nugs don't match this offer.

    Seriously.

    I fully realize my hatred of LK is irrational, but I do not get the hype that guy gets. He's worthless. He is without worth. And some Nugs fans are panicking over the thought of losing him. I'm seriously thinking about checking myself into a mental health clinic.

    Because black players don't want to play in Toronto. Toronto is doing the right thing and turning it into an international team.

    If they wanted a big guy who shoots 3's, this need could have been addressed much cheaper via the draft.

    Jeffries is injury prone. Always in and out of lineups because of minor injuries. A bit like Stromile.

    :confused: Toronto have a very large black community and is extremly diversificated. I don't see why a black player wouldn't want to play in T.O.

    Right back at ya.

    Sounds like LK really wants to be a Raptor and doesn't want us to match. The feeling is mutual.
