Jose Calderon has reached an agreement to return to the Toronto Raptors next season, at least that is according to his website ( http://www.josemanuelcalderon.com/indexEN.html ). The Raptors also have a verbal agreement in place to bring over PG Roko Ukic, their 2nd round pick in the 2005 draft.
While neither of these is surprising, there was an intriguing name also included, that of G/F ...

Word is that the Raptors are set to announce the signing of SG Hassan Adams. And as I’ve talked about in this blog before, Roko Ukic appears poised to join the Raps as well.

The Hassan Adams story, and other tales
thestar.blogs.com 7/2/2008 — A couple of days of no Canada games and likely no Raptor news? What’s a guy to do? Guess that calf-high grass in the backyard will get some attention.

Early this morning, through my agents, I reached a preliminary agreement with the Toronto Raptors. I want to thank Bryan Colangelo, Maurizio Gherardini, Sam Mitchell and all of the Raptors family for the confidence that they have placed in me. I am sure that together we are going to achieve big things in the future.

Calderon, Ukic and Adams in
Forget the last post, as expected the point guard position is set for the Toronto Raptors, as they have apparently reached an agreement with restricted free agent Jose Calderon. Gotta love the media getting it up as fast as possible with the “apparently” usage.
Calderon released a statement on his website, indicating that he has a preliminary ...

The most interesting thing about the Raptor roster is that they’ve only invited two guys –John Lucas and Daniel Ewing — with even a scant chance to get that 13th spot on the real roster.
I suspect it’s even more likely now that Bryan is going to sit back and wait to see who falls through [...]

Let’s look at the changes to our roster so far:
Additions: Roko Ukic, Jermaine O’Neal, Nathan Bawai
Subtractions: TJ Ford, Rasho Nesterovic, Maceo Baston, Carlos Delfino
Bryan Colangelo is working towards having a “nice, lean roster” for next year which sounds like a good enough idea. What he doesn’t mention is having an athletic roster that is capable of ...
