    Anthony Parker has committed to playing for Olympiakos after finishing his contract (one year) with the Raptors.

    The contract will supposedly pay him $5-million/year.

    Developing.

    NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
    Anthony Parker has probably been one of the best/most consistent Raptors the past two years.
    Colangelo needs to do something, anything to keep him.

    Can he even negotiate while under contract? Or does that just apply to NBA teams?

    Ah, if we draft a SG, then I don't mind as much. But I would love for him to stay. He's a great player and to leave would hurt us a lot.

    Well he's a pretty solid player in most aspects, a guy the Raps should try to keep.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The one thing Bryan talked about yesterday that got lost was infatuation in Europe with AP.

    Here’s what the GM had to say:

    "I think there’s some truth to the notion there was some interest on Europe’s part, or a couple of foreign team’s part, to try to lure a player like an Anthony, who obviously had a huge impact in Europe and would be considered a star returning.


    "There may have even been some interest on his part … because the dollars that may have been available may have been ridiculous or silly. I think the notion was expressed back to us that he would really like to stay in the NBA and that would be his first choice.
    ...

    "We have the player under contract, he’s a great, great young man and a very good player for us. He a very good player for and our starting two guard. It’s hard for us to find a scenario where that would be acceptable at this point to allow something like that to happen."
    ...

    "We’ll continue to monitor what interest there might be but our intention is to have Anthony play for us this year.”</div>

    Colangelo commented on these rumours during yesterday's press conference.
