Parker to Toronto!!!

Wed Jul 12, 2006 12:28 am

Official:
A. Parker will play in Toronto next year. One of the best players in Europe (15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists for a SG SF is impressive) has signed a 3-year 4 million US dollar deal. According to sources, he should take the starting SG spot.

because of the 3 exclamation points, i thought Tony Parker went to Toronto...

lol same wit me

Wed Jul 12, 2006 1:10 am

You got me :lol:

Wed Jul 12, 2006 1:12 am

Some say this is the best player in Euroleague so this is somewhat big news. Hopefully what he did over there translates well over here. Good luck to him.(y)

lol i also thought it was tony parker.. :lol:
but anyways then that means mo pete will play sf and bargnani will be on bench...or maybe bargnani will play c and rasho on bench..or same thing except bargnani play pf and bosh play c..
i just dont want mo pete to go on bench :(

Wed Jul 12, 2006 1:38 am

Mo Pete should start, he's a better defender!!

Anthony Parker put the dagger in the Raptors last year in their game vs. Maccabi tel Aviv, That game was classic

Wed Jul 12, 2006 1:41 am

3 years for 4 mill sounds like a huge bargain for someone that is supposedly one of the best players in Europe. I like this signing and although Parker is 31, his contract is well worth the risk of taking him in, especially since the Raptors are a bit thin on the guard spots.

First I thought Smush? Tony? Who the hell is Anthony!? Hahaa...

In love as in... bf/gf relationship? :o

So far the parkers who played in Europe have turned out alright. I suppose Toronto hopes that Anthony will carry on the trend.

Wed Jul 12, 2006 3:28 am

Yea you got me too. I thought that Tony Parker got traded or sumthin :P

Wed Jul 12, 2006 4:17 am

I thought it was going to be Smush Parker, oh well.

Awesome stuff. He's supposedly the best player in the Euroleague, and that speaks volumes. I'm really excited for this new Raptors team. The team has nothing but uncertain potential. They got guys who supposedly can play well but unproven in Bargnani, now Parker, and recently Garbajosa. They also got new guys in TJ Ford, Humphries, PJ Tucker, and Nesterovic, and still going for a couple more, possibly Eddie House and whoever we can get for Mike James. So far, it's looking like this:

C - Nesterovic/Bosh/Humphries
PF - Bosh/Bargnani/Humphries/Garbajosa
SF - Peterson/Graham/Parker/Bargnani
SG - Parker/Graham/Peterson/Tucker
PG - Ford/Calderon

Add in Ukic and Sow, then we have a fairly versatile lineup, but those guys probably won't play this season.

Is there an online profile of him somewhere where we can learn more about him?

i.e. his height, playing style, college, stuff like that.
