Roko and Delfino gone. Amir Johnson in? In a reversal of tradition, the Raptors are pretty deep with the bigs - but are short on the 2 and 3 spots.

Bad move for the Raps. Johnson no longer has the "limitless" potential. He is what he is: a bench player.
- Ryne Nelson
I agree Ryne -- it sounded like Delfino wanted to come back, no? Why not keep him?

Delfino wanted a significant role on the team. Turkoglu's signing, and the apparent readiness of DeRozan - combined with all the guard pickups would really limit his minutes. Colangelo would have been paying 5 mill, for a guy to play 10 minutes a game.

Though I agree that a Delfino on that lineup would have looked better. I think letting Roko go, could hurt them in the long run. And Johnson probably wont see much playing time anyway - this just seems to be more of a money move.
