Great contract for a player that's actually a full year younger than Agbaji and would have cost Toronto no assets. I'll never understand why management had zero interest in keeping him.
Another player we lost for nothing.

We had a coach who wasn't going to live thru the ups and downs. Just like Boston didn't.
And even Washington, he played most of the year in the Gleague. Good for him for getting that contract.
i'm glad he's finding a way to survive in this league but even in a tanking year, he would've been behind boucher in the lineup.
posters need to stop obsessing over mid-level prospects.

Management brought him in. Nurse refused to play him and he wanted out. Why is everything about the management? They can't force feed an end of bench guy minutes if the coach wants nothing to do with him. And they're not going to hold guys hostage, so when he complained about the minutes, they let him go find some elsewhere.
Also, should we indulge ItsDanger''s delusions that we could have somehow got value for this guy by trading him? Only way to let him leave was to cut him.

I was a big fan of his and thought he could carve out a career in this league. But the reality is many teams have passed on him and he’s only playing because the team he plays for wants to lose.
It’s similar to what happened last year with Banton. Remember that thread last year about how the FO screwed up by letting Banton go?
There’s a reason why Justin Champagnie signed for that dollar figure.

They must be saving him for next year. Secret weapon.

Last few games since Sabonis got hurt Jonas has put up:
9/17/7/1/1
15/12/6/1/2
19/13/6/2
he's evolved a lot since he left the Raps and is actually doing a good job as a point center.

WaltFrazier wrote:I haven't followed my old favorite Jeff Dowtin much this year but I knew he's on the Sixers. I guess he's on a bit of a roll lately, scoring double figures in 5 of 6 last games including 20 vs Raps and 15 right now vs Indy still in first half. First start ever tonight. I know he's getting more minutes because they're injured and tanking but it's still nice to see him doing well.
