IIRC he was regarded as a good defender before his stint in the NBA. Did that change? If not, I guess he's not the worst guy to be interested in, as long as the contract fits the player.

Lakonomy And he would be a back up, sorta more experienced more levelheaded Bayless.
P.S. I am pretty sure this signing will not happen, and if it does, it means Calderon is on his bags.

If the Raptors are going to be shelling out $5M per season for a player playing overseas, then you might as well give it to Bo McCalebb.

Co-sign. I'd take Bo over JL3 and Vass combined.

But he's a SG and 6 feets
Just a little undersized
He''s not a SG but a scoring PG that actually can run an offense, basically what everyone here hoped Bayless could become.
1) do you've seen some games of Montepaschi?
2) if you've seen Montepaschi and you think Bo is a PG you don't know basketball

Course he is PG. If not Bo, then who was their PG, Rakocevic? He is Russel Westbrook type of PG, but he is PG. He played point all his life, and the fact he is a pure scorer, never hurt his stock, guy is worlds best player not in the NBA for sure. He led Partizan and Macedonia to final 4 playing PG, he is that good.

Who cares if McCalebb isn't a pure point. He is still the best point overseas.

I never knew speaking Italian could be so intimidating.
