The Raptors' Leandro Barbosa was all smiles on Wednesday playing soccer in New York at former teammate Steve Nash's charity soccer event.
But back in Toronto, his brother, trainer and confidante Artur is immersed in the reality that Leandro has a difficult decision to make. Barbosa has about a week to decide whether to opt out of his $7 million-plus deal with the Raptors -- possibly to become the highest-paid basketball player in Brazil.

REASONS I DONT THINK HE IS A GOOD FIT IN TORONTO:
1) lousy disinterested defender
2) way too banged up every season
3) older than core group / game on decline
4) if you are stuck with Kleiza and Calderon and you do draft a PG he will be collecting dust anyhow if you want to develop younger players.
5) inconsistent from long range
6) if you have 3 PG's would rather see Bayless getting minutes @ 2 spot
