THE TORONTO PERSPECTIVE
Raptors grab Johnson, Weems | National Post
Someone at the National Post has a sense of humour with that "Raptors grab Johnson" headline. You stay classy, National Post!

Delfino deal all but done | Toronto Sun
Delfino was unlikely to find playing time in Toronto after the Raptors made a slew of off-season moves that included trading for Hedo Turkoglu, signing free agent Jarrett Jack and drafting DeMar DeRozan out of Southern California.

Carlos Delfino, Roko Ukic latest to exit Raptors | TheStar.com
Roster remake continues – that's 12 new bodies – as Dinos trade for Milwaukee's Amir Johnson, Sonny Weems.

HOW EXACTLY ARE WE DEFINING 'ATHLETICISM'?
Doug Smith's Toronto Raptors blog
In case you needed to gauge Doug Smith's basketball acumen, here's how he describes Patrick O'Bryant: "probably as – if not more – athletic (than Amir Johnson)."

THE MILWAUKEE PERSPECTIVE
Bucks are forward thinking | JSOnline
Amir Johnson's days in Milwaukee were numbered - at 55, to be precise.

Bucks acquire Delfino and Ukic, but does it matter? | Brew Hoop
The fact that Johnson's deal was expiring while the Bucks are giving Delfino two years guaranteed and a third team option year isn't a plus in my book, but it doesn't affect their cap or tax future all that substantially (assuming you already thought Sessions was a goner).

POB more athletic with Johnson?????

Wow. I usually try to give Doug the benefit of the doubt. But saying that POB is more athletic then Johnson suggest some level of being uninformed.

My favourite thing about it is he’ll probably have some snarky response on his blog tomorrow.

Oh yeah – I’m waiting for the snark-ism for sure because there must be tons of people calling him out on this. I mean, one of the reasons Johnson was such a great prospect out of high school was BECAUSE of his athleticism for someone his size!

LOL… that’s what makes it so ridiculous.

That all aside, can’t wait to finally see some Raps posterizing other teams instead of the other way around.
