    This makes sense that he was in the hospital, I would be too if I won $20 million dollars in the lottery .

    Ah, well that makes sense.. Although, the deal was 4 years, 20 million,(apparently) correct me if I'm wrong? is that really a decent offer? I'm not sure how Euroleague compares to the NBA, but 8.3 points and 3.5 rebounds with Denver.. I'm skeptical, although I hope I'm proved wrong..
    4yrs/18.8 now.

    4.7 mill a year. he'll prolly do better here than in denver plus when he started he had a breakout performance.

    That's what I was getting at, I hope it's matched as well, we can do better than this.. Why are people so excited about signing him? I'd get it if he was a legitimate 15-20 a game scorer, but I don't see much of the upside in this deal, although I have to admit, I've never seen him play.
    You've never seen him play...but are quite sure that this is a bad deal, specifically b/c he doesn't score 15-20 pts a night?
    I have seen him play. He's fundamentally sound, tough,

    defends the pick and roll well, as evidenced below:

    runs the floor well, and can do the the little things that make a defense and offense tick.

    I'm not all that excited, but you do realize that if he was a legitimate 15-20 ppg player, he'd probably receive 8-10 mil a year this summer. $18.8 mil over 4 years is below the average player salary, which doesn't seem that unreasonable.

    Dammit i saw Linas Kleiza in the hospital on wednesday (where i was working)... i didn't recognize him... the secretary even told me he is a Raptor and I thought he was Micheal Roll playing in the summer league with the raptors... so i didn't bother getting an autograph from a college player >_<

    He was a meter away from me...he was in the waiting room while watching the Spain vs Germany....
    err What a lost of opportunity.. huge bad luck!

    I never knew Linas Kleiza was that small..I though basketball player usually taller .... trust me...I am 5"6....thats a huge statement >_<

    As a volunteer i can't mention people who i seen in the hospital. Even family members.
    Why i post this?
    1) You guys don't know my real name :P
    2) there are many hospitals in Queens Park :P
    Are you sure it wasn't this Linus that you saw?

    his defense is good. He is garbo with an offensive game.

    That's an amazing offer for him in NBA money based on his level of talent. I don't like this signing, if it happens. Fingers crossed on the Nuggets matching.

    He was in Toronto, wearing a Raptors hat and explicitly stated that he does not want the Nuggets to match because he wants to play here.

    LOL. I'm 5'12"...
    5'12", are you deliberately trying to seem unintelligent?
    Also. Is this even a legit thread? it wasn't announced until Thursday that he was signed to a multi-year offer sheet, plus.. If the Nuggets decide to match this offer than he won't become a Raptor.

    a sighting is better than no sighting, even without a signing!
