Title: RAPTORS to land Europe's Kobe Bryant AKA Anthony Parker of Maccabi Tel-Aviv...
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on July 11, 2006, 04:00:55 PM
For those who don't know this dude, he is an excellent Euro-league player who NBA teams have been trying to get their hands on for quite some time. He plays for the elite Israeli team, Maccabi Tel-Aviv...His refusal to play in the NBA in favor of remaining a huge star overseas has come to an end...He is now in the process of signing a deal with the Toronto Raptors...

Not that bad, because he's just now in his prime years...It's said to be a 3 year $12 million dollar deal.
