Summer League and Summer Signings

It’s been awhile, so Let’s catch up Shall we?

Last Friday was our first Summer League game. Our Rookie DeMar DeRozan made his debut. His numbers may not have been Stellar, but that wasn’t what was important. It was how in looked. I believe he looked great in his first game. He was just feeling his way through the game absorbing information like rookies should. In the second game, he upped it and showed that he a little better. The confidence was shining brighter. I see the potential in him and it makes me excited.

The only player on our team that caught my interest was Brent Petaway, he’s like a nickel in the sand…

Last night was another Summer League Game. Raptors were up against Trade rivals the Portland Trailblazers. Could you smell the beef? Surprisingly we won, even though Jerryd Bayless was showing us what a real NBA sophomore can do.

It was obvious The Man wasn’t done last week. He started Phase Two of pleasing the Angry Butterfly (Don’t know what I’m talking about, Read last post). During Game 2 of The Raptors Summer league game, Bryan went on air to discuss recent signings and what to come. After he left the broadcasters said Jarrett Jack was on his Radar. Later that night  it was announced that the Raptors had signed Jack to an Offer Sheet. The Pacers have until July 21 to match the offer. That was quick, right?

A lot of people in Indiana believe the Pacers will highly unlikely match the offer. Which makes sense. If the Pacers were to match the offer they would be in the Luxary Tax.

Last night During his Live Stream, Chris made some phone calls. He spoke to Dwight Howard and Pops Mensah-Bonsu (Who Tweeted about it). But most importantly he called Jarrett Jack. He dropped a lot of hints about moving to Toronto. He even put CB on blast. You can watch that Video here. At least Chris is excited about having a good friend on the team.

With that thought FOLLOW him on Twitter. When you do that you can FOLLOW Charlie V after.
