Gary Forbes is nearing a two-year contract with a team option for a third with Toronto, league sources tell Y!

The same guy who destroyed team Canada right? This is a good one.

[Employee]

He restricted though, so let's not get too excited.

The same Gary Forbes of the Talk N Text Tropang Texters?

Nice..

[mcHAPPY]

This is an interesting signing especially considering it is longer than 1 year. I hope it is not more than the minimum and if so not much more.

Line up is looking like:

PG: Bayless, Calderon
SG: DD, Barbosa, Forbes
SF: JJ, Pietrus, Kleiza
PF: Bargnani, Amir
C: ED, Alabi, Magloire

The same Gary Forbes of the Talk N Text Tropang Texters?

Nice..

Next up are Billy Ray Bates, Michael Hackett, David Thirdkill and Tony Harris.

[mcHAPPY]

This must be a little unsettling for Sonny Weems.

[DoNDaDDa]

why not just bring Garbajosa back while were at it LOL

[SuperRaptor]

I dont know much about this player, his numbers seem pretty unimpressive and he plays SG ... are we looking to deal Barbosa right now? Wonder what is going on.

[SuperRaptor]

Maybe we are trying to just have depth and that means having at least 3 players on every position and maxing out with a full 15 player roster? Might not be a bad idea considering how compact the season will be, and the consequences of back to back to back's players.

[ceez]

Writing is on the wall for Barbosa. Probably get a second for him.

[Balls of Steel]

Next up are Billy Ray Bates, Michael Hackett, David Thirdkill and Tony Harris.

OMG, I haven't heard those names is years!!! Go PBA!

[mcHAPPY]

I think there is potential for Forbes. This could be another diamond in the rough find for BC. Here are his games last year with at least 20 minutes played:

I don't have the inclination to fix this up so it is readable easily. CLick the link. Points are last column, after last percentage is rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, turn overs, and fouls. The bolded games are versus Toronto.

Just realized that would mean 8 outta 13 players on the Raps were NOT born in the USA. Crazy!
