Hey Raptors fans! This afternoon I had the chance to chat with Marcus Banks and he gave me the scoop on why he didn't play in Las Vegas, the proposed deal which would have sent him to Dallas and his goals for the season.

It must have been awkward having him get a little ansy with the "why didn't you play in summer league" question. I'm glad he answered it though. I guess we were looking way into things.

Great questions and great job!

Thanks for the comments, glad to see some fellow Raptors fans are enjoying this.

Mad-Mo - The first video will be of Calderon talking about Jack. I'm currently working on some editing and hope to have it up either later tonight or first thing tomorrow morning before I head into work.

Azorian - Actually, he wanted to talk about it. This is something that had been bothering him all summer and it appeared he was waiting for someone to bring this up.

Mattd97 - Wow! Why so bitter on Banks?

Im glad he could clear the air with that. This media day has helped me respect him a lot more as a player and individual, whereas before i was a "hater" and was bitter at the fact that he didnt seem to want to TRY to prove himself at summer league when there are millions of young players dying to be in his shoes.
