<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><span style="font-style: italic">Sep 14</span> - Darrick Martin, a free agent looking at another one-year deal in Toronto, was farmed out to CSKA Moscow because four of its top guards are playing for Russia in the European championship and the team needs to get ready for the domestic season, which begins in October. With the blessing of the Raptors, Martin who took part in camp, is now in Italy with the Moscow team finishing up practices and will play in a few exhibition games before heading back to Toronto to continue his 15-year NBA career. </p> </p> "He looked at it as a great opportunity for a couple of reasons," Martin's Los Angeles-based agent Greg Lawrence said yesterday. "He took his family over -- he's got a young daughter and this was a great experience for her -- and he's getting some good work in, so he'll be in great shape to start camp." -- Toronto Star </p></div>
