Love is getting better and better. He's easily one of the best rebounders in the league and shoots a high percentage. It's good that Milicic got a nice contract and will stay in the US.

i think this signing slipped through the cracks with all the Lebron James hoopla ... Raptors sign Kleiza to 4-year deal.

Kleiza, who wasnamed to the All-EuroLeaguefirst-team, was pigeonholed as a scrappy, blue-collar, hustle player while he was at Denver for four years in the NBA. despite this, he routinely showed his athleticism and scoring ability. after staying buried on the bench, he went to Europe and was the EuroLeague's leading scorer for 2009-10.

hopefully, Toronto will involve him as an integral part of the offense.

Yeah, the Kleiza signing was totally unreported. This gives the Raptors potentially 4 white starters: Bargnani, Belinelli, Calderon and Kleiza. At the least, 4 significant white contributors.

This is the only way to watch the NBA: there will be 6-7 teams that have 3-4 whites in their top 8 players and they're the teams to watch. Phoenix will now have Nash, Dragic and Turkoglu - and maybe Amundson, if he re-signs. The Lakers now have Gasol, Blake, and hopefully Vujacic and Walton get back in the rotation. The Jazz will have Hayward, Kirilenko and Okur. The Pacers will have Hansbrough, Murphy, Dunleavy and Foster. The Bucks will have Bogut, Delfino and Ilyasova. Golden State will Biedrens, Lee and Radmonovic. The Magic will have Anderson, Gortat and Redick (all back-ups). Minnesotal will have Love, Koufos, Milicic and Ridnour. Maybe the Blazers if Przybilla comes back and Fernandez and Babbitt get any minutes. Otherwise, the outlook is quite dark, except for a few random bright spots like Dirk and Budinger.Edited by: icsept

Kleiza dunks with serious force! I noticed the defenders were lackadaisical or afraid to try and block his dunks because they'd probably get their hands or wrists broken...

Amazing dunks. He had some really great games with the Nuggets when he got to play. The team was stupid to let him go. He should fit it in Toronto just perfect. This is they type of guy Dirk could have used in Dallas to help him out.

White Brazilian Tiago Splitter signed with the Spurs. He was their number one pick in 2007 and has been playing in Spain. He's an athletic 6'11" power forward.

I saw that Pistol Pete. Ridnour will have to battle Sebastian Telfair for duties at the T Wolves PG.

What great news. Phoenix will be a very fun team to watch next year. I'm so glad they finally got rid of Amare. He hurt the team more than he helped them.

I'm very happy with the direction the Suns seem to be taking, but I have to admit that Amare was very impressive if only on the offensive end.
