The Raptors and GM Bryan Colangelo are close to having their roster
set for the upcoming season after reaching tentative agreements with
three players.
Colangelo got point guard Jose Calderon locked up to a long-term
contract and signed guards Roko Ukic and Hassan Adams to deals, all
of which can be officially completed on July 9.
Here are the best 3 links for each of our two new Raptors:
Hassan Adams and Roko Ukic. For both I offer first Wikipedia bio
page, then the best site I could find for Hassan Adams & Roko Ukic,
and finally a YouTube video of each. Enjoy...

The terms of Calderon's deal have yet to be disclosed, but it's
believed he'll make about $8 million per season to stay with the
team. And with T.J. Ford now out of the picture, Calderon should be
an excellent fantasy point guard next season.
Of course "the Aussie Shaq" and Kevin O'Neil will be added too, any
day now when KO passes his physical!!!
