Raptor Signings

So they signed Anthony Parker today. Good? Bad?

I didn't like seeing CV go either but Ford is a good addition and used to play his college ball with Bosh, good chemistry.

They also acquired John Salmons today. Seems like a lot of money for 7.5pts/game, but I guess he didn't get a lot of minutes either.

I heard that now Bosh is only going to sign a three year deal. Not sure if it is true but on Sportsnet they said he would do that just like Lebron and Wade did.

he is doiung that
theres some rule that after 7 yrs in the league they are eligible for more... probably a kobe type cpoontract that can make up 30% of the team salary
so thats why they are not signing the 5 yr now

GO RAPS

i cant wait for the season...
one last move for colangelo

get rid of darrick martin ..or hire him as some english coach or something

actually, if im not mistaken bosh played for Georgia tech and ford played for university of Texas.. so they didnt play college ball together.
but yeah you're right it will be a good chemistry.

Garbajosa? He is a bit old to become an NBA rookie (28) but has some impressive credentials from Europe, like a lot of the new players on the Raptors.

Fred Jones (Former Slam Dunk Champion) Apparently he is quick so it would be good to see him paired with Fordhttp://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/Con...d=968867503640

At the end of the day I don't think either is a big impact player, just filling out the roster.

Ok, knew they had a connection somewhere, still think the team will have a better season than last with the new additions.
