Re: we got kapono?
Looks like we did...
24 Mill over 4 years seems slightly high... I think the salary breaks down like a 4 year deal starting at 5 million plus 10% increases.
That leaves us not much space left with the MLE. 
Strange move and totally unexpected as far as I am concerned.. I was sure BC wanted rebounding and toughness... Maybe that is to come later .. but with what cash??
Maybe a trade is on the horizon?

Re: we got kapono?
Forgot to mention Jason fits the 'High Character Guy' BC loves...
Am still shell shocked at the cost of him though... But this sure does open our floor game and with Bosh, Bargs and Ford the space for Kapono is going to be even greater then in Miami so look for his numbers to go up...

Re: we got kapono?
Kapono was the guy I wanted he will help us a lot to spread the floor for bosh, we are going to look more and more like the suns now.
This is kinda bittersweet for me though cuz my fav team is the Heat and I wanted Kapono to stay there, but I think Riley has bigger plans this off season, perhaps Lewis or Artest? Although I hear the artest rumor is more than dead. Anywhoo,if Heat don't get Kapono, I'm happy we do.

Re: we got kapono?
With Kap, you guys get hands down the best pure shooter in the NBA, a fan favorite, and a very underrated rebounder, IMO.

Re: we got kapono?
Is this supposed to be our "big" signing? If it is, I don't know what to think. I thought we needed more athleticism, rebounding and defense at the 3, not more shooters. I'm shocked to say the least. Hopefully there is something else brewing in the pot. And isn't 4 years/24 million a tad overpaying for this dude?
But hey, in BC I/we trust!

Re: we got kapono?
Maybe BC is thinking, better shooters=less rebounds needed to get due to more balls going in?

Who? Dixon? TJ Ford? Garbajosa? Calderon?
Truth is, we are the same raptors 2 or 3 or 4 years ago, this year, we did not have a 3pt threat.
Our only good shooters are Gnani, a big man and Mo Pete who hasn't been shooting very well. Ever since we lost Bonner and Mike James, Carter, Donyell, our 3pt shooting has gone quite down.

Re: we got kapono?
6-mill per?? Not sure about that price tag. Maybe we'll ship him to a different team who couldn't sign him due to cap restrictions? I'm not sure if this signing is exactly what we needed. And Dee-Zy, we have Parker...
