"Easy Raptors!

I know the Olympics is taking over the sports scene in Canada right now but rapid-fire press releases announcing these transactions! I JUST posted the John Lucas III signing. Don't you know I have to sneakily do these at work??!!"

Ok...rant over.

Much like the John Lucas III signing that became official a few hours ago, back-up centre Aaron Gray is back in the fold now too, re-upping for the 2012-13 season. From the presser:

The Toronto Raptors announced Friday they have re-signed centre Aaron Gray. Per team policy, financial details were not disclosed.

Gray averaged 3.9 points, with career bests of 5.7 rebounds (third on team) and 16.6 minutes in 49 games with the Raptors last season. He started 40 contests, averaging 4.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 17.4 minutes. Gray finished the season second on the club in field goal percentage at .516 (83-161). He paced the team in rebounding 11 times, with six 10-plus rebound efforts, and recorded two double-doubles. He posted season highs with 12 points and 12 rebounds February 22 versus Detroit.
