Repatriating Nash would be a nice feather for Bryan Colangelo and would generate some serious buzz around the Air Canada Centre. What Nash would have left is another question, but his personal standards are high enough that I can't see him merely hanging in for the money only, though I'm sure he is kind of feeling underpaid, at least in NBA terms.

... weapon out there in favor of another rebounder. Matt Devlin thinks otherwise . More on this. Bryan Colangelo is expecting big things for Kapono which is great but you have to put him in a position to succeed. We can’t do the same thing as last year and hope the results are different.

Was that Bryan Colangelo, the Raptors general manager who has made it an organizational tenet to recruit European players who are more amenable to Canada's un-American-ness, racing across the room to put out the franchise-torching fire emanating from the mouth of another reluctant visitor to...
