as of this moment im laying on the floor of my room studying the recent aquisitions of various teams over the summer.
a team that really stuck out to me today was the Toronto Raptors.
today they traded Deaven George & a 2nd round pick for Marco Belinelli (sp?) which is a awesome trade IMO
they also picked up Rasho Nesterovic from the Pacers which is also a great addition
what i love about their newly constructed roster is that like it's teams location...(Canada) it is internationally built from the feet up.
check out their Starting 5
1- Jose Calderon-Spain (the best freethrow shooter in the league last year & top five in apg)
2- Marco Belinelli-Italy (came off the bench for GS averaged 9ppg in 21 minutes of play)
3- Hedo Turkoglu-Turkey (led the Magic to the finals with his 3pt. range and point-man skills)
4- Chris Bosh-USA (a member of the Redeem Team, averaged a double-double)
5- Andrea Bargani-Italy (the Italian Dirk Nowitzki, 7 ft. tall, has 3pt. range and defence)
key reserves
Demar DeRozan
Jarret Jack
Roko Ukic
Rasho Nesterovic
shit..thats as international as it gets
if only they played on nat'l television
then we could really appreciate the game ppl play overseas
just my observations,
you may not find them impressive
but just know they will make some noise next season
