Peja Being Bought Out

JoeyJoJo Shabbadu · 01-21-2011, 09:30 AM

WTF... now TSN is reporting that this MAY happen and Anjica MAY come to Toronto and something is up? Wtf... is there a leak in the Raptors head office that need to be sealed or something. This trade/not a trade stuff is getting way stale.

maybe because this is all part of some significantly bigger deal and more teams are involved.

For those of you that had your bogus meter on high about his injury, you were right.

There were always questions and whispers, but in these eyes, when you never know a players' pain threshold, or how they feel, you just have to take their word for it.

As for Stojakovic's time in Toronto, it was a two-sided affair in that it was another case of a veteran player not wanting to be in Toronto at the end of his career to be part of a young team's rebuilding phase.

The difference between him and Alonzo Mourning is two games in uniform.

There's one side that says at least he was professional, showed up and kept his mouth shut. Then there's the other side that says, he totally duped the fans for never wanting to be here.

I dont think you can blame him that much...

Expiring contract... will prob get vet minimum and remain in the league another season or 2.. why would he want to play for a rebuilding team and not a contender at this point of his career.

I just respect that he did keep his mouth shut and was professional about it.

Yes and no. He could have at least played untill he was eligible to be moved. Instead he sat on the bench pretending to be hurt in street clothes. Something about that just seems wrong on many levels. And what was told to the rest of the players, obviously they knew he wasn't hurt. What were they thinking?

i think BC's just trying to work something for peja so he can go to a contender which in this case looks like dallas, since we're not using him here and he's not in our plans i think its just us trying to be classy and help a professional guy out by letting him go
realistically a buyout doesn't really do anything for us especially when he's a free agent after this season

He probably didn't wanna play because he didn't wanna get injured again. Who the fuck cares anyways? We all knew he wasn't going to be apart of our future, he was just a bonus in the Bayless trade. For all we know BC could have told him not to play. And if he didn't wanna play here it's understandable.

agreed ... who's cares ...
