Raptors re-signed Bargnani

Raptors re-signed Bargnani to a 5 year, $50M contract extension today. $10M per year for a 7 footer that can shoot three and drive the basket. Wait till he develop some post moves and he would be an all-star.

I like it.

Hedo and Matrix next year?

Hedo just rejected an offer from Portland, ended the conversation. This makes Raptors the highest bidder.

The Matrix is also close to resign with the Raptors for 4 years with a $34M offer.

Hedo and Matrix starting for Raptors next year?

Ron Artest a Lakers! Wow!

Ron Artest is joining the Lakers, "I’m definitely going to L.A. — to sign, yeah," Artest said in a phone interview. "Lakers, Lakers, Lakers. I’m in L.A. right now." Artest said that he met with owner Dr. Jerry Buss Thursday, has spoken with Phil Jackson and is meeting with his agent, David Bauman, tonight to finalize details. "I don't really care about the money," Artest said. "I'll play there for nothing."

We all know about Ron Ron's on court and off court trouble, but he brings in the intangible that only few others can bring in, 'intensity and toughness'.

On another note, Trevor Ariza will not be returning to the Lakers. He has verbally agreed to join Artest's former team, the Rockets. You can't blame him to opt in for a bigger paycheck and a chance for stardom and the (possible) #1 guy on the team. Definitely a win-win for Ariza and Artest.

This kinda screwed up the Cavs though, with high hopes in getting one of the two as Lebron's sidekick. But who knows what's gonna happen next :)

Raptors draft freshman DeRozan

Raptors picked USC swingman DeMar DeRozan ninth overall in the NBA draft.

DeRozan, 19, averaged 13.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists for the Trojans last season, and was named the most valuable player of the Pac-10 tournament - as a freshman.

Good pick! We have waited long enough to get a new high flyer to cheer for!
