How do you know we didn't put in offers for either player?

Oh man, was that courtesy of Derrick Murray?

EDIT: My memory betrays me, it was probably Jarrett Jack.


Yeah, it was Jarrett Jack

It's very difficult for a wing to be successful without 3-pt range.

Hopefully he improved on it like P.J. Tucker did, or else it'll be very tough for him to stick in this league.

Because unless we offered them insulting low $ then why wouldn't they come here?

Very happy for Sonny Weems. Maybe we can get Gerald Green now for cheap.

Suns like to troll us for sure.

Hoping Normon Powell turns into a PJ tucker type player for us.

Good for him. Always liked him as wing off bench not starter.

Dang, I had no idea Sonny was 29 already. Not such a young gun anymore.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he may be a 6th man candidate next year.

Wish we could have got him at that price.

Should've stayed in Europe. He had 6 million on the table.

Heard he passed on 50 million over 4 years from the Raptors. /greenfont

Then what was drafting Devin Booker in the lottery for?

Welcome back to the NBA, Money Weems.

I liked his first year with the Raptors where he was basically an unknown, but the next year I think a bit too much was asked of him (I believe this is the first year without Bosh).

Does ANYONE remember when he had that amazing steal against I believe the Golden State Warriors at the last second that nearly won us the game? I think the Warriors had it under their own basket with a 1 or 2 point lead annd were inbounding it with like 1 or 2 seconds left. Sonny steals the inbound, saves it right to Bosh who had the ball right under the basket. Bosh rushes it (probably thinking he had less time than he had), and misses the layup, Raptors lose. I think this loss gave Don Nelson his 1000th career win as a coach or something. Bosh was completely distraught for missing it if my memory hasn't failed me.

Found the play I was referring to. Excuse the music.
